Just picked my 2022 6.4
Glad you like it. I have a Laramie 2500 with 6.4 and 3.73's on order. It's built, just waiting on shipping. Also 8.4 Nav screen. I hope the 3.73's don't disappoint and that my truck's cargo camera will work. Coming from a 2011 1500 soerra with 6.2L, 6 spd trans and 3.42's. If anything my new...- matemike

2500 Order placed
Cool. I hope all that works out for you. I guess I was wishing for the moon and the stars when I wanted a limited, but I wanted the 8.4" screen, 18" wheels, and solid running boards as well. I simply could not get any of that done. So I ordered a Laramie. Sounds like your truck is going to be...- matemike

2500 Order placed
May the ram chips be in your favor. I ordered mine Dec 18. Laramie, night edition, hemi, 3.73, Level B equip group, offroad package, cargo camera, digital rear view mirror. It was built March 5th. Been waiting on a train ever since. I was given 16-20 weeks as estimate. April 9th will be 16...- matemike

I ordered a 3500 2/5/2022. Just wondering if I'll see it this year?
It really is a mind boggling thing to try and figure out. I ordered a 2500 Laramie with Night edition and Hemi a week before with Christmas 2021. It has been built and passed QC inspections since March 5th of this year. So that part only took 77 days (11 weeks). It is not a heavily option truck...- matemike

Class 5 or 4: Which tow RECEIVER comes STANDARD on the 2500HD Laramie gas 6.4/HEMI ?
True, not too worried about capabilities. But I already ordered a new wd hitch with 2.5" shank as well as an adjustable height multi-ball BW hitch with 2.5" shank.- matemike

Tapping into your air ride suspension
It would be funny if you blew the horn and all the bags deflated, squatting you down. I don’t know the system obviously, but I’d refrain from messing with it the way you want. I’m sure the air horns are supposed to work of their own supply, or a waste supply like exhaust???- matemike

6.4 Hemi MPG differences 3.73 vs 4.10 gears
A friend of mine has a 2021 tradesman Hemi 2500 long bed 4x4, 50gal tank with 4.10's. He lives in open country, so a lot of his daily driving is highway/freeway, not exactly interstate. He claims around and just under 15mpg, personal best was 15.9mpg on an interstate road trip and not towing of...- matemike

What have you plugged into 110v?
mobile video screens for the kids can use either the 12v round plug or the 110v plug. The round plug falls out sometimes if the wires get caught or kicked, the house style plug never falls out. Also I use a hand held VHF radio and a battery powered antenna for positioning for work. I keep...- matemike

diesel or hemi?
This has been discussed once or twice before. How often do you tow and what is trailer weight? goose neck or 5th wheel? tongue weight? How far is the drive to your VT house? Is it hilly? I believe it is having visited Killington, VT a few times in my life. Are you going to keep the truck for a...- matemike

What to expect going from 1500 to HD?
Not really sure if this is a gas to diesel change or a 1500 to HD change discussion. I would say if you get a Diesel to get the 3500 so you keep the payload number high. A cummins in a 2500 has a payload of around 2k pounds. (that's almost 1500 numbers) Also, if you get a 3500 get a SRW and...- matemike

2023 Gas 3/4 ton
What would you want to see? I know plenty of people who are happy with the Hemi. The 6.4 has been in the trucks for a few years now. But a weak present and unknown future in the auto industry is not good for creating new things, so I doubt this is the time to be making changes/updates with the...- matemike

Considering a 2020 Power wagon
The one that was 2020, barely used, available, had leather bucket seats with vents/heat for $56k sold the day before I got back to the dealer. So went back to the drawing board and ended up ordering a 2022 2500 exactly how I want from Mark Dodge. Not a bad deal I must say.- matemike

Black Grilles Matter
Ya! My NE is a bright white. I might color match some emblems and decals to the body color. But your red pops are nice! Nice touch with the tow hooks too.- matemike
