Cabover camper
Hi I'm just seeing this now; wish I would have responded sooner. I had this exact issue with my camper a few years ago. I installed Timer Grove air bags and Bilstein shocks and it has been great ever since. I have thousands of miles driving with this combo and it drives great. I have even...- 6.4LMegaMan

Anyone selling their truck in this crazy market?
I've been keeping track of the KBB trade-in value of my truck for the past few weeks and so far it looks like this (Average / High): July 12th: $46,166.50 / $49,491.00 July 19th: $46,200.50 / $49,512.00 July 26th: $46,005.00 / $49,189.00 Very little fluctuation yet. I have a camping trip...- 6.4LMegaMan

Anyone selling their truck in this crazy market?
I've been keeping my eye on used prices of these trucks and they are absolutely ridiculous. KBB is showing a trade-in range of $43,022 - $49,671 as of today, July 15 for my 2016 2500 Mega Cab Laramie with 80k miles. Just for giggles, I went to Car Shop (previously Car Sense here in Pittsburgh)...- 6.4LMegaMan

Towing and shocks
My set up is very different than yours but I thought it would be helpful to provide my experience. I haul a Palomino SS-1251 truck camper, loaded around 3000LB on my 2016 2500 6.4L. I had Fox 2.0 shocks and it had extreme side to side body roll. Very dangerous. I swapped to Bilstein and that...- 6.4LMegaMan

Best Brakes
I had the identical situation happen to me. Front right was hanging. I ended up replacing everything. One good thing about this truck is the front calipers bleed super easy. Just crack the bleeder and let it sit for a few minutes and she'll fill up on her own. Pump and bleed once and I was done...- 6.4LMegaMan

Best Brakes
I have had good experiences working with Nick at Got Exhaust with the R1 Concepts rotors and Posi Quiet pads. I put slotted rotors and Posi Quiet pads on front and rear and I feel the truck stops stronger and smoother than stock. He also set me up with steel braided lines for the front and I...- 6.4LMegaMan

Need HID 9005 5000K Replacement Bulbs
About 4 years ago I installed the Diode Dynamics HID kit with their 5000K 9005 bulbs. This morning I had the driver's side bulb burn out. I contacted them for a replacement but they replied that they no longer sell HID kits or bulbs. They referred me to either hidkitpros or theretrofitsource for...- 6.4LMegaMan

Transmission issues after gear ratio swap
I'm coming to the conclusion that RFE transmissions are wear items. Like brake pads. I'm fully expecting to have to do a replacement in the next 70k miles. It's such a shame, the rest of the truck is awesome. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk- 6.4LMegaMan

Transmission issues after gear ratio swap
Yikes. Sorry to hear your troubles. My valve body went out at 75k. On the bright side you now have a beast of a truck. Sucks you had to get it this way but don't look back and enjoy it. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk- 6.4LMegaMan

Heater Not Blowing Hot
My truck was not getting up to temp. It would make high 180s and then drop down to 170s. To me I figured it was something with the thermostat. I bought one off advanced auto parts online with a 20% off coupon for around $70 shipped. Easy to swap out and now my temps are back up to 210 or so and...- 6.4LMegaMan

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
A friend of mine has a 5th gen 3500 SRW Mega with Cummins and auto level suspension and said it hauled his camper well which weighed most likely north of 4,000 lbs. I doubt you'd need bags on a 3500 with that light of camper. I run 10psi unloaded and it rides very nice. I'm very happy to this...- 6.4LMegaMan

Hemi Vs Cummins for slide in camper
Yes. This. I went through this with mine. Although, after installing air bags and stiffer shocks it hauls great but before that it was nothing short of terrifying. If you go 2500 be ready to upgrade your suspension. If you look at my posts you'll see a big write up I did on my experiences...- 6.4LMegaMan

Boats, camper and occasional landscaping. This truck has been a good one. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk- 6.4LMegaMan

Brake calipers needed - what to buy?
I now have 2k miles on this set up and wanted to do a follow up. Everything is holding up very well. Still looks darn near new. The braking feel is much improved over the last set up. I'm not sure if it's the stainless braided lines or the new fluid but there is pretty much zero brake fade now...- 6.4LMegaMan

2016 RAM Cummins in WI w/ 105K miles. Should I replace the calipers too?
I'm in PA and the salt here is horrible. My first set of pads lasted 40k and the second set 30k but I had a hanging caliper. I ended up replacing EVERYTHING including pads, calipers, rotors and even removed and replaced the rubber brake hoses for stainless steel braided lines. It turned out...- 6.4LMegaMan

Battery felt padding
Thanks for the input everyone. I called Pep Boys first thing this morning and the manager asked the tech who did the battery swap and he said the battery cover tore apart when he took it off so he just threw it away and didn't say anything. The manager was courteous and apologetic and said he...- 6.4LMegaMan

Battery felt padding
Woke up to a nearly dead battery this morning. Local Pep Boys had an AGM on sale for a good price so I let them put one in for me on my lunch break. Just got back to work and figured I'd pop the hood and take a look to make sure everything looked right and I find they didn't reinstall the felt...- 6.4LMegaMan

Brake calipers needed - what to buy?
In a sad turn of events, R1 Concepts was not able to create a BBK and still let me run my 18" Method wheels. I would have had to run spacers which I did not want to do. @Nick@GotExhaust worked with me and we came up with the best solution he had available. Went with the Power Stop red powder...- 6.4LMegaMan

Brake calipers needed - what to buy?
Well, in a bit of a surprise even to me, I made quite the decision on brakes today. @Nick@GotExhaust worked with me and is setting me up with an R1 big brake kit. Going to be rotors, calipers, pads and stainless braided lines. Having the calipers and rotor hats anodized in dark gold to match my...- 6.4LMegaMan

Brake calipers needed - what to buy?
Yes I have a hot right front and right front pads were worn substantially more than left front 2 times in a row now. I don't have much time in my life right now between work and family and am the type of person who wants to do something once and be done with it. If I have to spend more or...- 6.4LMegaMan

The hoses appear to be in good condition. I am on a Thuren 2" front lift. Stainless lines is a good idea. I'll look into that when I do the job. I'm only on a computer at work really and only do the forum from my phone. That's why I don't have a signature. Sent from my SM-N975U using Tapatalk- 6.4LMegaMan
