    Kinda Bummed Out About the New HDs

    As the details trickle out, I'm kind of bummed about some of the things on the new HDs. Obviously, no one's putting a gun to my head to make me buy one but it feels like competition is pulling away from us on the new HDs. Specifically: Have to step up to a 3500 & High Output package to get...

    2019 Ram 1500 IIHS Crash Tests Available

    Most folks gave zero f**ks about this when the 4th gen flunked small overlap but it's reassuring to see the improvement nevertheless. 2019: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/ram/1500-crew-cab-pickup 2018: https://www.iihs.org/iihs/ratings/vehicle/v/ram/1500-crew-cab-pickup/2018 I...

    Parking Brake Release Handle Part Number?

    Like the other folks, my parking brake release handle broke off in my hand this week. While annoying, this appears to be a fairly cheap & simple fix. What's the part number for this cheap piece of plastic? Google searching says 1NL97DX9AB but that part does not appear to have a raised *white*...

    "Magic" Suspension: Stock Height, Rake, Better Off- & On-Road

    The answer might turn out to be: don't do anything because FCA already engineered what you want and stock is as good as you're going to get. I think I want a "magic" (AKA "have your cake & eat it too") suspension: Stock height Stock rake 100K mile durability Not too pricey (under $1K...

    New Shoes & Ongoing Review: Hankook Dynapro ATM RF10

    Is Going to 3500 SRW Worth It for HO Cummins & Aisin?

    Question for you wise HD veterans: if you were going to buy an HD (2500 or 3500), is it worth the extra money to get the 3500 (SRW) for the High Output Cummins & Aisin? I tow almost never and haul only occasionally (the load's never beyond 2500 hauling capability). 3500 Pros: More payload...

    Cummins: Max Idle Time Between Regen or Problems?

    I don't sit around idling often but every once in a while, I find myself sitting in the truck idling for 1+ hours. Got me thinking: 1. How long can you idle the 6.7 before you have to regen? 2. At what point will idling a 6.7 cause you problems? My 5.7 LD truck has 155 idle hours &...

    Cummins Cold Starts: How Long Before Cabin Heater Works?

    For the Cummins folks - how long do you have to sit in a cold truck before you can get warm air out of the HVAC system? The 5.7 is really good at this - probably no more than 120 seconds before warm air comes out of the vents. Assume it's been outside all night, around freezing but not...

    Transitioning from 1500 to 2500: Miss 4Auto (AWD)?

    Almost pulled the trigger on a 2500 this weekend but we were too far apart on my trade (1500). Then, it poured rain this week. I drove exclusively in 4Auto, which the 2500/3500 do not have. 4Auto is great on wet pavement or even dry if you need to hustle across an unprotected left turn. In...

    Vacuum-Based Brake Fluid Flush: Ripped Off?

    The manual says nothing about replacing brake fluid on any interval but I have usually changed the fluid when changing pads and/or rotors on all my previous cars. In theory, brake fluid absorbs water and over time and that could be bad. 1) Is this a waste of money? My most recent brake...

    Titan 51-Gallon Fuel Tank for Cummins Mega Cabs

    Haven't seen this posted yet - it's a pretty penny for sure but maybe it's just the ticket for someone on this forum. https://titanfueltanks.com/shop/dodge-mega-cab-short-bed-super-series-2013-2016-7030213/ Too bad it's not available for the HEMI (yet?)

    Cooled Seats Losing Effectiveness; Need Maintenance?

    So the cooled seats are not cooling very well after 40K miles. Searched the owner's manual for anything (filter changes, etc.) but didn't find anything. Any tips from the old pros here? Want to restore their icy cold nature ASAP. :) Does the seat back get cool? This was a thing from day 1...

    Mega Cab 6.4 4x4 w/ 4.10 Performance?

    So ramtrucks.com says the closest mega cab 4x4 w/ a 6.4 hemi & 4.10 gear ratio is ~700 miles away. Guess a test drive is pretty much out of the question. Can anyone with this combination (or just past experience) comment on performance vs the 3.73? Things like: Merging onto the...
