    Positive rear end

    I believe that there is now a "Toesen" style LSD kit available for the rear axle used in the RAM 1500. Why not simply install one in the 2018. Probably less hassle and reasonable cost than swapping things around. Then you will have the LSD in both trucks. I have the factory LSD in my 2017 and...

    Looking for AGS delete solutions

    Anxiously waiting to see if the electric fan "on" - "off" temperature thresholds are identified. I have been curious about this parameter for some time now. I also have AGS shutters removed and I do in fact find that the bugs commit suicide at the radiator. I have also found that it is not...

    Camping 2024

    when netshadoe said it ws cheaper for him to RV in the US, I said I found it the opposite when I go to NL. By "opposite" I meant more expensive in NL. ( even with the favorable exchange rate ) Point was even with the increase expense we still go.

    Camping 2024

    I am not sure if you are saying I have it better when crossing the border or worse. However, I can tell you that even with the exchange we pay much more in NL for everything we purchase. Not to mention the 15% HST! We have wonderful friends there and own a small one bedroom cottage in an...

    Camping 2024

    Sounds like you are somewhere just north of me. We experience the exact opposite of what you describe. Summers in Newfoundland. But , we still go.

    2017 3.6 wants to run hot 226-230 before cooling down

    I have the same year truck and the same engine. I have over time experimented with the active grill shutters. Originally I was running just the top and bottom. After a while running like that I added two shutters back. Honestly I cannot remember what position I put those two back into...

    I think you may be correct.

    Oil Filter Thread

    Just had a light come on in the ancient gray matter riding above my shoulders. A while back I came across a filter that was allegedly full synthetic. It was apparently made by Fram for Advanced Auto Parts and sold exclusively under their name . I don't know where it is made and cannot...

    Oil Filter Thread

    Gotta show my ignorance. What is the pedal to the floor and crank with no ignition thing? Is there some way to avoid ignition while cranking the engine thus getting some sort of prime? I guess I might be lucky in that the vast majority of my miles is long distance driving. At 72,000 miles...

    Oil Filter Thread

    I am with you on the 1500 Pentastar RAM. I needed a truck to travel in. I am 6'3" and 215 pounds. It is extremely comfortable for me to travel long distances in. And, being a truck the Commodore can bring along anything she wants for 3 months in Florida during the winter as well as 3-4 months...

    Oil Filter Thread

    I also own the Pentastar V-6. I did some research a while back on the Fram filters. The cartridge for the V-6 is made in Brazil while the spin on type is made in the USA. I first started looking into this when I noticed that the same model filter for the Commodores Prius Prime looked like it...

    8 speed transmission oil change

    I had contemplated doing this after installing an aftermarket pan with a repeatedly reusable drain plug. I am not sure how many times I would want to reinstall the OEM plug if at all. Not to mention that when I did do my transmission service the OEM replacement pan I purchased does not even...

    2017 3.6vvt

    Search the forum. Someone did exactly what you describe with a truck that they inherited. The person who did it had some difficulties along the way and they seemed to a competent wrench turner and owned a good selection of tools to to the job. I own the V-6 and don't find it lacking in power...

    Here's a Stupid Question

    OK, before I get flammed let me say that everything I type here is entirely from memory. I am an old fart and that's my excuse! And, I am NOT going to research this topic again! I also own a 2WD RAM with LSD. I have come to feel as though we are odd balls. I ordered mine that way and I had...

    Emergency parking brake question?

    About 16 months ago I noticed my cable sagging. It looked exactly like OP's photos. I took up some slack with the adjuster on the cable. No issues arose and the parking brake works fine. I was even **** and tested on a slight grade after the procedure to insure that the truck would roll...

    I need a dash mat!

    Any Pics? Or can you give a part number for the mat that matches your brown interior? I have the same interior and was wondering what I might get to match.

    I need a dash mat!

    I do believe that they only made dash covers. I would bet that the one that the Dodge dealer sold you back in 2009 came from the same place that I bought mine. EDIT: I think the business was called "Dash Guard". Googling leads me to believe that they are no longer in operation. Too bad if...

    I need a dash mat!

    Thanks, That does not sound familiar but I will check it out. The address is in an area that I am quite familiar with and I don't think it is where I purchased mine. I did a bunch of business almost right next door with the off road buggy shop for a Baja conversion I used as a toad and off...

    I need a dash mat!

    About ten years ago when I was RV'ing and wintering in the Southwest I bought a couple of dash covers from a small operation in or very near Yuma AZ. They had a VERY nice product and the fit was perfect.I cannot remember who it was and have not had much luck locating them. There is a person on...

    Stellantis’ new Ram pickup is an EV — with a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out. The end of the Hemi???

    A regular cab, 6 foot box would definitely push me over the edge!

    Stellantis’ new Ram pickup is an EV — with a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out. The end of the Hemi???

    If they do this correctly it will be a success. Especially if you can plug it in at home. I have been talking about something like this for over five years. Here is why. When I bought my RAM new in 2017 the Commodore bought a new 2017 Prius Prime. I KNOW, it is not a truck but it is nothing...

    Does anyone make a filler or 3D printed part for this?

    Any chance that dash cover you have came from a small shop in Yuma? I spent many winters on BLM land in the area and purchased one for the small MH I had. They made a nice product and I would like to get one for my RAM but I don't seem to be able to find the place I purchased it from online...
