    2022 Ram 2500 6.4 Wheel well liners?

    Soon, you'll have to optionally buy tires and seats. It's ridiculous that the cost of the upper trim models is approaching $80k, but you don't get wheel well liners, all metal in the cab is left 'in the white', etc.

    Water Tank - under body

    Old post, I know. I already posted some tips but just noticed this statement and thought I'd chime in. Look to the boating/camper world for pumps. There are water pumps with built in pressure switches that automatically turn on when the tap is opened and shut off when the pressure builds to a...

    New I-6 info...

    It's simple. Any added complexity introduces new points of failure. Going from points and distributors to solid state was a decrease in complexity and increased reliability. Going from a large engine to a smaller engine, then adding variable vane turbos and water cooling exhaust adds lots of...

    Which winter tire? (for Quebec winters)

    Are you looking for a studded winter tire? If not, why aren't the standard 3PMS tires adequate? I've taken my Falken Wildpeak AT3's through some ridiculous snow when they were relatively new and they didn't falter at all. They aren't studded, so that's why I specifically asked. Less hassle not...

    Water Tank - under body

    What was suggested might work for you. A couple lengths of sch 40 PVC pipe would give you around 10 gallons of water. You could adjust the length or the number of pipes to get to the gallons you require. You can also go to 6" pipe to increase capacity. As for what others have said - You can...

    2014 Ram 2500 5.7 Hemi knocking in engine

    Kinda late to the party, but see what the law is where you bought it. He in CT a warranty is mandatory for 30, 60, or 90 days, depending on the age and sale price of the vehicle when purchased from a licensed car dealer. For 22k, you'd have surely gotten something.

    Best Tires for Western NY

    I'm in the same boat as you. My 2014 1500 Laramie is running on baloney skins at the moment, while I fret over which tire to buy. Truck came with the SR-As and they totally sucked. Worst tire in rain I've ever owned. I was choosing between the Dynapros and the Wildpeaks. The Wildpeaks won out at...

    Need an opinion on trading

    You asked for an opinion, so here goes... You bought a new truck, and it sounds like it has a few issues. Let the dealer take care of them under warranty. No cost to you and hopefully very little inconvenience if they have a loaner for you while yours is in the shop. For whatever you paid for...

    Am I out of gas? **On side of road**

    Late to the party, but look at the size of your fuel tank one day. Imagine 1 gallon of gas in there - it's a puddle. There's no way the gauge can read that small an amount, so it's guessing. When you get to 'E' and that light goes on, think of it as, "I can't tell how much gas you have now...

    ScaryTowing!

    I think he was noting the windmills to imply it may have been a windy area, not that they were somehow creating wind.

    Best Tires for Ram 1500?

    Crummy stock tires wore out at around 30k on my '14 Laramie 4x4 Crew Cab. I replaced them with the Falken Wildpeak AT3 and have been very pleased. They've gone through multiple snow seasons here in New England as well as light off road and some beach driving in Outer Banks. The truck is now at...

    Family Road Trip Supply Essentials

    Tylenol/Aspirin, Immodium/Malox, Paper Towels, Snacks/Drinks, Pillows and blankets, Chargers/cables for all devices, a multi-port charger for when you get there. Baby wipes are a great suggestion from others. Depending on the age of your children, stop often if they're young. Get them to nap if...

    beach driving

    Replaced my stock tires with the Wildpeak AT3s. Was down on the beach at Outer Banks. No problems. Just air down the tires. I was running mine about 18psi. I agree with others about sand getting EVERYWHERE! I still find sand in my cab after the kids kept getting in and out! That was 2 years ago...

    Poll best TRUCK tire?

    I am running the Falkens for about 35k mi now. Very pleased with them. They are getting a little louder now that they're wearing down, but have performed very well. For the price, I can put two sets on my truck before I get to the cost of the BF Goodrich or others. They've held up very well...
