    Anyone swapped wheel studs on their 2500?

    So my 2015 Ram 2500 4x4 Tradesman was in the shop for a loud clanking sound and vibration. It started on my drive to work Friday. I jumped out, did a walk around and couldn't see anything wrong. I shook the tires a bit, but everything seemed tight. I thought, "crap, please don't be gears or...

    Guy that sell red line oil...

    Shout out for Nick@gotexhaust! Ordered Monday and Tracking says on truck for delivery today. I also have to say, after getting his quote, I looked around for a better price (this stuff ain't cheap) and after 15 min or so of web surfing, he had the best price. Thanks Nick.

    Rear floor bins.

    Same as just about everyone else... Tire patch kit with mini air compressor, ratchet straps, bungees, med kit, gloves, 2 water bottles. Under the rear seats... breaker bar, 2 old towels, roll of blue towels, tool bag (wrenches, sockets, etc), spare hitch. I think that's about it. One of these...

    Tranny thunk

    I noticed mine like to clunk overly loudly when going into gear from Park. Does it in reverse and louder going into drive. The truck also bucks a bit. Even if I'm mashing the brake pedal. I figured it's the torque converter. I haven't really noticed it doing it when driving. Every once in...

    Tradesman Transfer Case Shift Linkage?

    I posted this in the Engine / Performance section, but not responses after 79 views, so I'll drop this in the HD section since it pertains to a 2500. My cousin has a 2010 2500 4x4 - Tradesman. It's been raining here lately (surprisingly heavy in S. TX). He was messing around on his property...

    Transfer case shift linkage?

    My cousin has a 2010 2500 4x4. It's been raining here lately (surprisingly heavy in S. TX). He was messing around on his property and he went to shift into 4hi and his shifter went..."limp?" Turns out, one of the rubber grommets that holds the linkage to the shifter arms fell out. Luckily the...

    Observations after Trans solenoid body recall.

    It should be the same as running in tow/haul mode which locks out 6th. From my observations, lets the RPMs run up about 1K higher before shifting to the next gear. I was watching my shifts this weekend on a hwy trip. Before tow/haul, it was shifting at about 2500 rpms. With tow/haul on, it...

    6.4 Hemi Gear Swap

    Wish you were near South Texas. I'd love to give your truck a test drive. Looking to swap gears next month if I can swing it. 2 quotes so far. $2600 & $2900 with Nitro kit. I'm gonna request a re-quote from both shops with AAM & Yukon gears you posted above ("Just Differentials. AAM 11.5 and...

    Level Spacers vs Thuren or Bilstein

    @dbrock What mohemipar & mtnrider said, air down your tires a bit and get an alignment. Try airing down to 55/50 PSI (front/rear) or 50/50. That should help a lot. I've even see recommendations from other members as low as 40 psi for the rear. I usually run 50/50, but it's travel trailer...

    Price Quote for 4.56’s...

    I emailed Just Diffs about their Nitro-Gear GPRAM2500-5.13 kit. I gave them my VIN and they said for my truck, I would NOT need a new carrier or ring gear spacer (unless I was going with an ARB or other aftermarket locker/carrier). Now, they could be wrong... but that was the response I got...

    Price Quote for 4.56’s...

    WOW!!! That price isn't bad at all! I would let them use their gear oil to when they do the swap. There is usually a 500 mile break-in period, then you're supposed to change the gear old. That's when I'd switch to the redline. The first time you change the gear oil, there will be a LOT of...

    2000 mile trip with the 6.4 and Travel Trailer

    Those are awesome mpg #s. I took my crossroads 18ss on a 150 mile trip to the coast a few weeks back and mpg were about 8 - 9. But, when you head down from San Antonio to Padre Island National Seashores, you get a pretty good headwind. That and running at 70 -75 mph killed my gas. When I'd...

    Level Spacers vs Thuren or Bilstein

    MOST of the jarring in my truck comes from the rear, so I'm not positive a change in front suspension will make much of a difference, since I want to keep the payload capacity. That's why it's at the bottom of my list. IF you don't need the payload, then Thuren or Carli are definitely worth...

    Level Spacers vs Thuren or Bilstein

    Well, I'll throw another opinion in.... I have a spacer kit, 3" front / 1" rear. Stock shocks with extensions. I had a good alignment done and I didn't feel any difference in ride, with the exception of speed bumps. The truck hops a little more when I hit speed bumps/humps hard. I figure...

    6.4 Hemi Gear Swap

    So is everyone going with AAM gear sets? I was looking at Nitro Gears from Just Diffs. They have the front & Rear RP sets with master install kits for $1,325.00 / GPRAM2500. These are the gears I was planning on buying. Labor on the last 2 gear installs was about $900 ~ $1100. So I'm...

    6.4 Hemi Gear Swap

    Dang! I was all set on 4.56s, but now that I've seen some posts with 4.56s on stock tires, it has me thinking I might want to go 5.13s or at least 4.88s.....

    Bumpy ride after 2 months ownershipDodge can’t

    Seems like PSI has been discussed in a lot of threads. 60/80 psi daily driving empty or near empty is pretty brutal and jarring. Some get used to it. I was running mine at 55/50 empty and tires feel firm but not jarring and don't have that floaty feeling. That's been true for my 295/65r20...

    Help! After market AMP keeps shutting off

    ^^ This What are the 12 rated at and at how many ohms? How are the subs wired? I'm not expert and it's been a looong time since I messed with subs & amps, but the ohms the amp and subs are rated for make a difference. Also, the way you wire the subs can pull a higher load from the amp and...

    6.4 MPG dropped suddenly

    I'd say A/C is the culprit. With hot temps the compressor kicks on a lot more. More load on the engine, more gas consumption ... Although it's hard for me to tell, I use AC like 8 or 9 months outta the year in S. Texas. The coolest it's been the last 7 days was last Monday @ 98*. It's been in...

    2015 to 2018 Rams, new ecu option

    Any updates on the 6.4 ? Couldn't find anything on the Edge website, but didn't know if Hemifever had any inside info? Would really love the option to tune for the 6 spd trans in the 2500 or a factory tune for the 6.4 that also adjusts the trans shift points to make it a much more enjoyable /...

    6.4L Hemi Exhaust

    How did you mount the muffler? One his website, the largest he has is a 3" inside diameter muffler. The exhaust on the 6.4 is 3.5" - can you snap some pics of the muffler installed?

    Those who have had Linex sprayed after buying their truck...

    Mine was linex'd from the dealer when I picked up my truck. The only issue I had was the the drain plugs don't fit back in the holes. It was a pain in he ass to get them in looking bowed and they kept popping out. So I just threw them away. I have a tonneau cover that keeps most of the dust...

    Mileage Concern

    The OP posted a pic of his cluster with 137K tow miles and 33K total truck miles. The price point between a 33K mile truck and a 137K mile truck will be significantly more than $2000-ish it would take to do the above. Just a quick jump on Kelly Blue Book for a 2016 3500 crewcab 6" bed...
