    Oil Catch Can ?

    I have a Ram 2500 w Cummins. The factory set up had a hose running from the crankcase filter into the intake. Oil used to coat the inside of my intake tube right before the cold side of turbo impeller. Since turbo has its own oil supply tube, I installed a catch can and empty it every other...

    66RFE Lifespan

    I think your odds of a successful service life w this trans is keeping trans temps at bay. I have 195K on mine and have never had any issues. I did install an aftermarket trans cooler with fan (in addition to the factory cooler). Whenever my truck is on the road it is always loaded to...

    New Ram, How to disable all the annoying electronics?

    I was able to turn off my tps sensors through my mini max tuner. Worked perfectly, now I do not see any tps lights on the dash.

    What’s your favorite flavor of cordless tools?

    Milwaukee with Milwaukee branded batteries (even though the Milwaukee batteries could be made in China). Batteries that come branded as Chinese batteries are junk. Pay the extra for the Milwaukee branded batteries

    Buying From Hertz

    In 2013, I bought a 2011 Ram 2500 with 60K miles on it, and it was a rental truck. I have now had this truck for 10 years,160K miles on it now, and I have no reservation about ever buying another truck from a rental company. However, I will probably never need to do so because this truck is...

    E-Torque Start Stop VS Bearings

    My company truck is an F150 w start/stop feature. I learned that if I take a “dummy” 7 pin plug and plug it in the back of the truck, the system thinks I’m towing a trailer so it automatically disables start/stop. Never tried it on a Ram, but it may work the same

    Terrible, Horrible luck TT wise. My fault though...anything I can do?

    You wouldn’t think towing with a 1500 (1/2ton) would be much different with a 2500 (3/4 ton)……but let me tell you, the difference is night and day. I was scared to death pulling my 10K lb TT with my 1500, after getting a 2500 to pull it, that 2500 (bagged, 6.7 Cummins, 21” wheels, tuner...

    I can take the heat...Give it to me straight

    I also agree with that. The quality of lubricants has made significant advances over the past 30 years, reducing wear and prolonging the service life of critical components

    I can take the heat...Give it to me straight

    Scottly, when I was in high school in 70’s, you are correct, if you had a vehicle w 100K miles on it….it was pretty much toast. I believe in early 80’s the Japanese forced domestic auto manufacturers to “step up there game”, or risk losing a huge percentage of market share. The result was...

    4th Gen Rear Diff Fluid Discrepancy?

    2011 Ram 2500 6.7L Cummins. I don’t do any heavy towing, and run valvoline Full Syn 75W90. 137K miles, No problems, no issues, removed Diff cover last spring and everything looked brand new and all tolerances appeared to be factory spec

    Stick shift anyone?

    Shifting a manual transmission keeps me more engaged w my surroundings when I’m driving. I used to drive a 13 speed K-100 Kenworth, and now most semis have AT’s. With a manual trans in a semi, you are always listening to the engine, and always anticipating the slightest of grades. Is it...

    Which engine?

    Sounds too complicated for me, which means could lead to higher maintenance costs down the road. I’d stick with the non e-torque model
