6.7L Cummins turbo done - MaxCare warranty experience?
Folks, I couldn't find anything in the search on this. I'm polling for experience of owners of the 6.7L Cummins who have experienced turbo failure and have a Mopar extended warranty. The truck belongs to very good friends, and they are currently stranded in these COVID19 times with a broken...- geotex1

Can I tow this?
@Mickster, don't know where you're from, but if you're anywhere near eastern PA, Jersey, Maryland area, I've got the perfect WDH setup for that TT for sale at a bargain price compared to new! I'll even help you set with the initial setup as I do have decades of experience towing trailers of...- geotex1

First Oil Change and a discovery or 2
Works fine - the flexibility is your friend and leaving it about one-half bottle length keeps you from spilling out the catchment when you negotiate out of the tangle. I been using this trick a long time - used the trick the entire time I had my '14 Sport, which was conventional oil at 3K...- geotex1

5th Wheel towing
Your problem will be payload. The yellow sticker in your driver's door jamb. Take down your VIN# and enter it on the RAM website's towing section. You'll get the combined specific to your build - can't go by the generic numbers. You do not have enough RAM for the Montana. Also, just so...- geotex1

2019 5th Gen vs 2017 4th Gen
LOL! Never equal comparisons and the conclusion is always that one is a dog... Really? C'mon! Way lighter truck (maybe grossly more depending on option differences), some free-flowing mods, who knows what gearing, and distinctly different programming between the two vintages from the...- geotex1

First Oil Change and a discovery or 2
The ziploc bag is generally an epic fail for most working on their back. In a pit or on a lift, works great. Do yourself a favor and take a 2-liter soda bottle and cut the bottom half off it. Use the half with the spout, making sure the cap is tight. The spout makes a good handle for you to...- geotex1

Lease return $687 bill!!!
Piece of advice for the future from the old and gray-haired. NEVER, take your lease in for return until you've done a reasonable detail on it and resolved damage or have come to terms that the state of the vehicle will cost you. In this case, you likely could have taken the truck to a PDR shop...- geotex1

Why the hate?
Depends where you are. i'm in the mountains and true to the symbolic Ram, there are more RAM trucks here than Fords and GMs combined! Also depends on the clique or community you associate with. i mean, for example, I'm an avid camper and have a large 5th wheel. My 4th Gen...- geotex1

Geno's Garage Cabin Air Filter Kit
Local dealer stocking item. The techs break the retainer tabs all the time. $11 and a little change with tax. You can even buy it on Amazon. Mopar P/N: 68052292AA -
Bed Removal and The Puck System
The puck system is totally independent of the bed. However, as a former hauler myself I want to caution you that your 3500's bed adds rigidity to the chassis, which translates into the actual availabie towing capacity. If you compare a 3500 Chassis Cab frame with yours you will see the...- geotex1

Geno's Garage Cabin Air Filter Kit
I didn't use the Geno's kit because you can buy the door and a better filter separately for $10 less. To cut in the door, I used a standard, fixed blade utility knife with the blade heated a bit with a torch. Took me all of 5 minutes with the hot knife reheating once. -
Spray in Bedliner or Plastic Bedliner which would you get?
Drop in will eat through your paint no matter what. It's a matter or time. Even with PPF, it will wear through unless you are removing, inspecting and replacing that film regularly. Had a Bed Rug once, and loved the comfort, especially when camping as I also had a cap, but if the slightest...- geotex1

First DA orbital polisher
For a beginner, the Porter Cable cannot be beat! I still own and regularly use one of the originals even! Gotta be 20 or so years old now with a thousand or more hours! The PC will probably be the only DA you'll ever need as a DIYer coupled with the right pads and the right products! -
What are you guys using to protect your truck?
Depends on the day I guess... Sometimes a S&W Shield 9mm, sometimes an XD-S .45ACP, but winter is coming so I'll rotate in a 686 CS-1 or my Kobra Carry. Oh, wait! You didn't mean PROTECT my truck, but protection for my truck! :D The 4th Gen workhorse gets Klasse All-in-One and two coats of...- geotex1

Who added a cargo cam and got the 18.xx.xx OTA? Step inside, please.
Greetings all! So I was one of the folks who never got the 17.43 OTA update, and had been sitting at 17.11.07 in my 2015 RAM 3500 dually. I have been installing the factory cargo cam with Deereguy's harness - hindered by frequent work travel and family priorities... Anyway, I was well aware...- geotex1
