    Anyone tried the ball joint delete option?

    Stumbled across this option on Youtube and hadn't seen it before. I haven't checked mine yet but the steering has been a little wonky and the steering column insert bearing option only made a slight improvement. I've got 85k on it and have been running wide 35's since it had 5k on it. Not...

    Anyone using Wix fuel filters for the 6.7l?

    I ordered a package off of Amazon with a Mopar oil filter but both fuel filters were Wix. The rear filter was exactly like OEM but the front fuel filter looked very different from the OEM. The OEM has an oval opening in the bottom with an O ring, approximately 1" x 1/2". The Wix was wide open...

    I want 37's, what are the consequences?

    I'm creeping up on new tire time and I'm starting to obsess about moving from 35's to 37's. I've got an 18+4 14k lb tilt bed trailer and an aluminum slant load 3 horse trailer. Aside from the unlikely possibility of towing my best friend's camper, I don't see me ever towing heavier loads with...

    I'm a neglecftful owner :(

    I bought my 2018 2500 CTD in November 2018 and now have 41k miles on it. I keep a busy schedule with lots of travel and I neglected to stay up on the scheduled maintenance as far as the differentials go. I need to change the fluid in both but I'm finding conflicting info on what I need to do...

    Who has the best deal on filters?

    I'm coming up on another oil change and fuel filter change. Is there a vendor/sponsor who offers the best deal?

    Anyone reversed the rear window switch?

    It's a little thing and I'll continue to live with it if I have to but the switch for the back window drives me nuts. Pull the switch left and the window goes right, push the switch right and it closes, precisely backward as my brain works. Just wondering if it could be as easy as reversing...

    Pocket style flares for the Rebel?

    Talked my wife into taking advantage of the 0% interest offer from Ram so we got her a 2020 Rebel yesterday. She's already wanting it lifted/leveled, bigger tires and pocket flares. I've been searching but haven't found any that are made for the Rebel model. Does anyone know of any on the market?

    Man I love this truck

    Had an incident this morning and got very, very lucky. Limped back to my truck, grabbed a tow strap, put her in 4wd Low and she pulled the tractor back up on the hill with very little effort. I'm not sure I even hit 1500rpm and it was up. I've got 37k miles on her now and have yet to find...

    Is there a clear "best" aftermarket gooseneck hitch?

    Unfortunately my 2500 didn't come with a gooseneck hitch so I need to install one. I've never towed a gooseneck so I don't know anything about them, is there a clear winner as far as aftermarket hitches go?

    If I have the factory backup camera, can I also have a factory cargo camera?

    Title says it all. I'm getting ready to install a gooseneck hitch on my 2500 and would like to have the cargo camera to see while hooking up to trailers. Does Ram offer both the tailgate and cargo cameras on the same truck? If so, could I install a cargo camera and get it to work like it's...

    How are the 6.7L front suspension components holding up?

    I've got 37k miles on my 6.7L, this is my first diesel. I was cruising through Youtube today and watched a video of a guy replacing the front axle U joints and front wheel bearings on a 2011 6.7L and he said it only had 44k miles on it. I've heard the diesels go through front end components...

    Front driver's side suspension popping

    I'm starting to get an occasional pop/clunk sound from the front driver's side suspension when I turn the wheel to the right at or near full lock. I'm not sensing any vibrations or differences in how the truck handles while driving, just getting this sound. I'm going to have a friend...

    Air Lift Load Lifter 5000 rear bags question

    I ordered in the rear bags and remote controlled compressor which I intend to install on my 2018 2500. I have already installed the Thuren Overland kit which raised the rear by 1" and the front by 2.75". The thought just occurred that I may need a spacer to use the rear bags but thought I...

    Tranny hunting for gears

    Since I had my 6.7l deleted my transmission is not happy at all around 40mph and/or 50mph. If I stabilize my speed near either of these the transmission shifts up and down several times like it can't make up it's mind which gear it should be in. I don't know if this is a trans tuning issue...

    6.7L Fuel Filters

    Are there good quality aftermarket filters which are safe to use or is OEM the only way to fly? I’m about to turn 15k so it’s time to get them ordered in.

    Having an issue with my Leer Cap

    I bought my cap second hand a month or so ago and I'm having an issue. The tailgate end of the cap does not want to stay drawn in where it should be on the bed. As a result I can usually only get one side to latch/lock. Last week I loosened the bolts, pulled the sides in together with a...

    Installing muffler into straight pipe?

    I thought the new exhaust I was getting when I had my truck deleted was going to have a muffler or at least a resonator on it, turns out it doesn't. My truck is currently straight piped and it's just a bit more than I want to deal with. I see that the Flo-Pro Twister seems to get good reviews...

    Larger tires on stock wheels

    I've lifted my 2500 2.75" up front and 1" in the rear. I'm getting tired of my current wheel/tire combo rubbing and am thinking about going back to the stock 20" wheels. If I go back I'll go with a 35" but I don't know how wide the factory wheels are or how wide I can go with tires. Can I run...

    Which muffler?

    Just got my 2500 back deleted yesterday. The replacement exhaust was supposed to have a muffler but I ended up with a straight pipe instead. I don't think it's too obnoxious, I haven't noticed people looking at me like I'm nuts but it sure seems loud within the cab. I suspect I need the drone...

    Best class V drop hitch?

    I'm a newbie to 3/4 ton trucks and I've been looking and trying to decide what hitch I should pick up. I've got a Thuren Overland kit on my truck and 35" tires so the rear end is up a little higher than stock. There is a chance I'll end up going taller down the road. Currently I tow a 16'...

    CTD block heater cord access

    I installed a lightbar in my hood shortly after I bought my truck. It required switching to a different set of tow hooks and I didn't pay attention when I installed it and now it's block my access to the block heater connector. We've got some really nasty weather visiting this week and I'd...

    Getting deleted

    I’m scheduled to have my 2018 2500 deleted this week. The shop I’m taking it to uses a 70hp tune as their standard offering. I’m honestly not really worried about more power, I’m really after better mileage and longevity. I’m curious as to what others have experienced after deleting and if...

    2018 Laramie radio losing presets and memory seat settings

    I've had my 2018 2500 Laramie for a little over two months now. Last week for whatever reason I got in the truck and noticed that all of my radio presets were gone. I also noticed that the seat memory settings I had saved were gone as well. I have an appointment with the dealership after I...

    Is this normal for HD brakes?

    I just rolled 5k miles on my 2500 CTD yesterday and I've heard the brakes squealing a little bit here and there and I already have a pretty healthy coating of brake dust on my front wheels. I know it's a heavy beast but I'm still a bit surprised to see this within 5k miles, is it normal? Are...

    Wheel offset for 2500

    My irritation at the tire rubbing reached a fevered pitch today and it's time for something to change. I stopped by 4WheelParts to see about lifting but that was gonna cost me $3000, I'd love to have a few more inches of lift but that stings a bit too much. My only other option is new wheels...
