    Magnaflow exhaust installed and I like...

    Wanted just a little more rumble but nothing that would make my neighbors hate me. The direct fit/swap Magnaflow 19493 was just right. Under normal circumstances it would be a 30-60 minute job but mine didn't want to go without a fight. Had to cut brackets off as the nuts wouldn't budge (darn...

    Is this truck lifted?

    Quick backstory. Bought my dream truck and love everything about it. It's running 35x12.50x20 instead of the original 18s. I'm assuming what I'm seeing is a small lift as the tires don't rub at all (and my understanding is that 33s would be pushing it on stock suspension). I also know based on...

    From 06 Mega Cab to 17 Hills Green 2500

    While I liked my unicorn 1/2 ton rated, 2006 Mega Cab (if it looks like a duck, quacks like a duck, why is it not a duck?), I absolutely LOVE my new ride - 2017 2500 6.4 HEMI. I've driven her all over the place the last couple of days, finding ANY excuse to take her for a spin. I know the color...

    Three changes for Big Red - mirros, grille, brush guard

    Big Red got three little updates - one cosmetic (grille - have always loved the controversial 4th gen pig nostrils), one functional (2500 towing mirrors - Moose pic included just because) and one arguably both (brush guard). She's 13 years old, turned 124,500 miles, but she's still happy doing...

    Negative offset rims and towing

    Thank you for the feedback on running larger wheels/tires. Is anyone running negative offset rims? I have fender flares and would like to get some wheels that would line up a little better with those. How much is too much on offset? Spacers I'm thinking I would want to stay away from, though the...

    Towing camper w/ bigger wheels/tires

    Hey peeps. I just replaced my stock 17s with stock 18s off a 2500 (275/70/18). Max PSI on these is 80 (cold). What should I run them at when towing? I have a 32 footer weighing in at around 5,000 lbs. Right now I'm running them at 50 and ride is great w/ out towing anything. What say you? Much...

    Fan issues

    Hey guys. My blower fan has been working intermittently for a couple of weeks now. Some days, it works as intended. Some days, it will start working after driving a few miles. Some days, it just won't come on at all. A/C compressor kicks on and everything seems fine. I have done: 1. Replaced...

    Blower fan not working at all or intermittently

    My blower fan started working intermittently and sometimes not at all. I have replaced the ignition switch, I have checked the resistor. Nothing has helped. Could it be a faulty switch/selector? Any other ideas? Thank you in advance. ('06 1500 Mega Cab)

    What's the extra hole for?

    It's probably an easy answer but I can't find any info on it. This is not my assembly exactly but similar. What's that extra smaller hole for? I'll probably feel stupid after asking, but I just can't figure it out. :shrug: I bought mine used. TIA.

    Tow haul mode on all the time?

    If I read correctly, the Dodge manual recommends using Tow Haul mode only when the situation demands it. If my truck is happy towing our camper (especially if no bad hills are encountered), should I keep it off until needed? I've always towed the camper with the Tow Haul mode engaged the entire...

    Oil change light indicator?

    Guys, I am feeling dumb as I've done all kinds of research and can't find what I'm looking for. Bought my truck ('06 1500 5.7 HEMI) with 97,300 miles; it's at 100,800 now. I'm assuming small dealership I got it from changed the oil before selling, but don't know. I have no indicator light on to...

    Ready to roll! Thank you!

    Thank you for all your advice and help. I'm still dealing with a little faulty tank sensor, but I think we're ready to roll. Thanks to all of you, I have a brake controller, Reese dual cam WDH w/ sway bars, new anode rod, new heating element, fridge working, etc.

    Modify weight distribution hitch?

    Ok peeps, help me out here. :) I bought this WDH rated to 10,000 lbs and it looks very sturdy. I would need to drill a couple of holes for the rear brackets (see red arrows). I wonder if it's overkill for our smaller camper (say 6,000 lbs). Should I remove chain and hook up straight into sway...

    How bad to to with no brake controller?

    We just purchased a 24' travel trailer (tried to keep weight down to make my 1/2 ton happy) which is rated at 4,000/5,000 dry weight. I have a 7 pin connector, trailer has brakes, but I don't have a controller yet. I will be picking it up tomorrow and driving it about 50 miles total. Two...

    Replacing drive shaft in preparation to tow

    I have enough rust on my drive shaft to make me nervous adding a good bit of weight in tow. Shaft may be ok but joint would probably give out. Anything else I should consider/look for? Any other areas that need to be checked out? TIA.

    Installed backup camera

    Instructions are junk. I found some good wiring diagrams on the net though. I ended up splicing the power wires for the camera into the tow hitch wiring and I didn't hot wire the monitor into the battery. I just wanted this system to be used when in need. Most times I won't rely on it but when...

    Holes in truck bed; missing plug/cover

    I just noticed one of these is missing. They are at end close to cab. They are not drain holes (or maybe they are?). I tried searching and can't find where to buy a replacement. Thoughts? Thanks guys.

    In-dash brake light comes on intermittently

    Ever since I bought the truck (2006 1500 Mega Cab), the brake light indicator has been coming on and off at random times. I thought it was brakes - I replaced all pads today (they still had a good bit of life in them). I checked the brake fluid level - all good. Tonight, while out for a drive...

    Missing jack/lug wrench/24mm lugs?

    I just realized my truck is missing the spare tire set - I have no jack, wrench, extender, etc. I almost ordered a bottle jack (will need one anyway) and a nice set which should fit my Ram (and assuming any 2500/3500), but I just checked and my lugs are 24mm (or maybe 15/16" - I only have a...

    School me on wheels/tires please

    2006 1500 Megacab (2500 frame and suspension). Stock, as far as I can tell. Would like to replace the 17s (265/60/17) with 20s at some point. I don't want to trim/modify anything. What setup would work/look best? I'm coming from the BMW world, so truck are very new to me. :) Thanks in advance.

    Greetings from South Carolina - 1500 Mega Cab

    Just got her home yesterday. She's a 2006 1500 Hemi. I've been wanting a truck for a while and finally pulled the plug. Running boards have been ordered (it's really funny watching our girls trying to get up in it). A proper photoshoot will happen once they are installed. Glad to be part of...
