    66RFE Experience

    Kona3085, I completely neglected to say "thanks" for posting your experience with your transmission. While I hope not to ever need to use it, great information!

    Busted drag link

    Pretty much what I initially went through. I just made it clear that I didn't agree or approve of the weld "fix" and insisted on a new link. That's all it took.

    Busted drag link

    Very similar to my experience as you will understand if you read one of my previous posts on this thread. Again, I say contact Ram Cares. I am confident that they will take care of you as they did me and from what I have come to see, many others too. It may take some time, but don't give up and...

    66RFE Experience

    Just my thought's and experiences with transmissions..... Prior to buying my current RAM I had a 97 F250 with the 7.3 TD. Go ahead and bush me for this fact if it makes you feel better :). It was an amazing truck and one of, if not the best, vehicles that I have ever owned. According to all of...

    Busted drag link

    My drag link was welded right after the recall came out. My dealer did this when my truck was in the shop for an unrelated issue. I wasn't given the chance to say "yes" or "no" to the "fix", they just did it. I reached out to RamCares and voiced my displeasure with their "fix" for this issue and...

    Underground Lighting HID’s

    Thanks for posting this. I can see from one of your photo's that you have projector headlights; correct? I have been on the fence concerning switching to HID's in my low beams but just haven't been able to come to a conclusion as to are they better than halogens or LED's. There is so much...

    Blackstone oil report is in.

    I prefer to think that I am getting "too smart" for that nonsense rather than "too old"! :cool:

    LED Headlight Bulbs

    Thank you! I have done more research and reading on this than I care to think about but my conclusion is that HID's are a better choice than LED's, and your opinion confirms this.

    LED Headlight Bulbs

    Thanks for the update. I have LED's in my 2017 with projectors and while they are okay, I am not a fan of the light pattern. A bit too much scattering for my liking so I have been considering making the switch to HID's. I am curious to hear how you like the HID's after a bit more use. I sure...

    Synthetic Oil

    You are absolutely correct. IMHO, the oil could go much, much longer if I wanted to push it but I don't want to push it. And again you are correct with the seasonal switch. My limited and old brain capacity has a hard time wrapping itself around the idea that an oil can perform well in a 0W-40...

    Synthetic Oil

    For the last 15,000 miles or so I was using Amsoil SS 0W-40 year round. While I have no complaints on it's performance, I decided to switch to a dedicated winter and summer oil, primarily because going with a 5,000 mile OCI means I change my oil twice a year anyway. So this fall I switched to...

    Blackstone - used oil analysis

    ^^+1^^ Couldn't agree more. Oil is cheap. Engine parts, not so much.

    E rated tire pressure question

    My turn to add to this. My truck carries a very heavy camper 99% of the time. I am currently using BFG All Terrain T/A KO2's (E rated) tires. I have used the All Terrain T/A's since the mid-1990's on my previous truck which also carried a heavy camper, but my current setup is much heavier than...

    Transforce Tire Recall

    This was 22 years ago now so I cannot provide an answer to your questions. I do know that there was no recall on them, were E rated and they had plenty of tread left. Tread separation.

    Transforce Tire Recall

    I have stated this on this forum before but I will state it again anyway; my experience with Firestone is not good. I cannot believe that they are still in business. I came really close to loosing everything that is so dear to me: my wife, dog, and let's not forget ME! I will spare all of you...

    Avoid Cooper Tires Especially Discoverer at3

    Then apparently my mistake, and my apologies for the misinformation. So my previous tires were just BF Goodrich All Terrain T/A's After a quick search the All-Terrain T/A's came out in 1976, KO2's were introduced in 2015, as you stated. The All Terrain T/A's are what I started using as my...

    Avoid Cooper Tires Especially Discoverer at3

    Since tires on my vehicles hold everything dear to me (myself, wife and dog) I take them very seriously and never skimp on price. What is a couple/few hundred dollars price difference between a very good tire and a poor tire really matter on a $60,000 vehicle and my dear ones? I got rid of the...

    Brake's, make sure your checking the rears also.

    Also, don't forget to change the brake fluid! Every 2 years is the recommended interval and is very easy and quite cheap to do.

    Brake's, make sure your checking the rears also.

    From my experience, if a vehicle has an anti-skid function, the rear brakes will wear out faster than the fronts. The rear brakes are used by the computer to keep the vehicle moving in a straight line.

    Shocks for a 3500

    I went with Bilsteins and have no complaints after around 25,000 miles. But my gasser is lighter than your engine by about 400#'s so not sure if this would be the best option for you for your front shocks.

    Oil Filter Thread

    After a bit more run time, oil pressure remains consistent and what I am used to seeing over the past 5 years. I am convinced that it was a defective filter, although no way to absolutely prove this theory. To me it seems that this could probably happen to any filter brand, just one of those...

    Oil Filter Thread

    First and foremost, I hope that this is the appropriate place to post this; I thought that it is and therefore starting a new thread was't necessary. It details my experience with RP 20-500 filters. After all of the reading that I have done on this particular thread (thanks to all that have...

    Mickey Thompson's D38AT Or BFGoodrich ko2？

    Several months now on my most recent set of KO2's and no issues whatsoever. And they carry a very heavy load (just over their maximum weight rating). I monitor their air pressure regularly and keep it right at 80 psi cold.

    Mickey Thompson's D38AT Or BFGoodrich ko2？

    I have been using ko2's for years. Must be on about my fifth set on two different trucks. Always been very happy with them.
