Bad first experience
So how did this turn out? In recent years on vehicals of several brands I've had weird things suddenly happen out of the blue. Reseting all the Computers can sometimes help. For example on a 2014 Corvette the butt9ns on the steering wheel quit working. The car still started and drove...- Ratman6161

Help with towing. New to owning a dodge
I just put it in tow/haul and let the transmission edo what it wants. Sometimes I'll push the - button to turn on the limiter then press the + button until 8 is displayed. This is actually completely unnecessary, but I like that it let's me see what gear its in.- Ratman6161

Fifth Wheels By Keystone For 1500
The reason I've been looking at smaller 5th wheels in the 30 foot range is 1. everybody tells me they tow easier and 2. I want to stay at no more than 30 feet total length to make it easier to get in and out of places and that some places I want to go have a 30 foot limit. On my 29' 8" travel...- Ratman6161

AMP vs Go Rhino Power Running Boards
I have the GoRhino boards on my 2022 2500. I've had them since March 23 and love them. See the link to my video below. Can't compare them to other brands since they are the only ones I've used. But I definitely didn't want the ODB interface as i use that for other things. I also can't say...- Ratman6161

Highest towing capacity for the 5.7
You will find this posted many other places. But when looking on dealer web sites, they usually post the VIN number. Copy the VIN from the dealer web site and paste it into the Ram web site below. https://www.ramtrucks.com/towing/towing-guide.html/vin-lookup#/landing/bytowing- Ratman6161

Anyone tried low profile tires for towing stability
Out of curiosity I did a search on tirerack.com and confirmed my suspicions. Best load rating available on a 265/50-20 is XL and there are no LT tires in that size. They may exist somewhere but if tire rack doesn't have them then they would be rare if they exist. I would agree to go with a...- Ratman6161

40" to truck bed....
I found a knock off strp on Amazon that looks identical to the one from the mopar accessories catalog but was half the price. It mounted perfectly exactly like the mopar part amd functions exactly the same. The only difference I can find is that the mopar part claims to have a 600# weight...- Ratman6161

Winter Operating Temps 6.4
Mine is a '22 so I don't know how differ3nt my engine is from yours. But mine runs at aboutnthe same temperature year round and regardless of conditions. I.e. if I was out last week with the sub zero temps, once wormed up the coolant temp would be about the same as if I was towing my travel...- Ratman6161

Towing/Cargo Capacity Charts
But....depending on the type of trailer, towing capacity may be the least important and most deceptive number. I long ago got tired of correcting 1500 owners who think they can really tow 11000 pound travel trailers. Most will run out of payload capacity long before they reach the...- Ratman6161

Redline High Performance vs Professional Series
Yup, I've seen w Yup, ive seen what forum members report and it does not change my position. "Hundreds of reports" is not a significant sample size given that Ram sold 468,344 trucks in 2022 and 569,388 in 2021. And there still isn't time in my life to be crawling under trucks. I'm very...- Ratman6161
