    2017-2018 2500/3500 brake system issues

    Sounds like there's a few people here who don't own a 2018 HD truck. This issue is a really big deal and it's complete BS that stelantis hasn't done anything about it.

    Cummins Killer Bolt.

    Now this is something that certainly warrants discussion.

    Dear Ram,

    You could be like us lowly 2018 owners who didn't have the option for a bigger fuel tank at all.

    Cummins Killer Bolt.

    I've never heard of one failing inside of warranty. Since it's an internal engine part I don't see how it wouldn't be covered. Keep in mind, that same grid heater design is used on every 6.7 out there with a heater. Ram trucks, garbage trucks, school busses, standby generators, the list goes on...

    HD rear Coil Spring "Upgrade"

    Did you find the bags made a big difference? I've been kicking around getting some for mine. I know they made my half ton farm truck (which always got very dramatically overloaded) a whole different truck.

    Hemi tick: at least partly metallurgical

    Good thread here. Cool to see someone preemptively ripping into an engine to see what's in there. Oil flakes in the pan is not unusual at all. It isn't going to show in the oil analysis unless the sample contains suspended wear particles. Blackstone won't know there were chunks in the pan or...

    Does anyone know if you can add a factory trailer brake controller?

    There aren't any worth paying all the money and going through the installation headache over IMO. My current ram has the factory controller and if I order another truck ill order without it. It costs way too much for what you get.

    Does anyone know if you can add a factory trailer brake controller?

    You can but in my opinion it isn't worth it. A tekumseh (spelling?) P3 is cheaper and better in my experience. Very easy to install in modern trucks.

    AC shuts off when idling in traffic

    Put it in neutral and rev it up. All of the 6.4 trucks my company uses have this issue in the dog days of summer. The only thing we've found that works is more RPMs.

    RAM is Down!

    Cummins basically doesn't warranty the engines at this level, stellantis does. It's a complex arrangement that in short doesn't allow for non-Ram dealerships to do warranty service on Cummins engines. That's what I was told by a local Cummins shop.

    Help with towing. New to owning a dodge

    Just click the tow haul button and drive. Modern trucks have dramatically reduced the stress associated with towing heavy. Just click the button, set the brakes and enjoy the scenery.

    RAM is Down!

    By the time it's done they'll have enough labor and parts ******* in this that they could've installed 2 new engines, but the warranty bosses don't see it that way.

    3.0L Hurricane Updates?

    The point is that no matter what, it's still a reciprocating engine. Power density is the enemy of longevity. Always has been and always will be. A 500hp peterbuilt will have a 15 liter engine. A 500hp ram has a 3 liter. A 1600 hp tug boat will have 68+ liters of engine in it!!! The good thing...

    At a loss.......literally

    Sounds like a fuel problem to me. Rig up a way to read fuel pressure at the pump while mashed out up the mountain and check vs internet information. May be a clogged tank strainer, bad lift pump, anything else involving fuel delivery
