Military Roll Call!!
Always good to hear from a fellow Vet who lived it. Was always more comfortable on convoy when either the cobra gun ships were cab high next to us or one of the quad 50 gun trucks was near by. Land Mines were the luck of the draw. Ambushes are what we thought about,,,,a lot. Our run's North in...- Fitz-0518

Tire pressure 2500 Crew cab?
Robin, I agree the Firestone Transforce tires with 80+ psi on a HD 3/4 ton coil spring truck is stupid harsh. * Had my TPMS minimums reset by my tech at 30 front and 40 back. * The Firestone tires were done at 25k miles. Center tread worn out because of high pressure. * Replaced with correct...- Fitz-0518

Edge Pulsar
Have a 2018 2500 6.4. Hate the MDS ignorance. Want to disable so that we do not need to select gear every time. Cost is under $400 now. Only need the the module and that has 8 functions. Would like to know what others think of this. Good results? Issues? etc Thanks Fitz- Fitz-0518

RAM CARES and DRAG LINK RECALL !
The only way FCA will ever "replace" the defective drag links on "all" trucks that they were installed on voluntarily, is to increase the number of complaints to NHTSA.com (simple on line form) and make our our local news channels aware of the potential safety issue that FCA corrected by just...- Fitz-0518

Gas cap missing?
Once again some self proclaimed brilliant designer at FCA junk car company, came up with a cost saving, aren't we cool, progressive feature. Guarantee that over time dirt and dust will get into the gas tank. Nice to see that a aftermarket company took advantage of a clear opportunity and... -

Synthetic Oil
With only 20k miles on our 2500, I have thought about doing the same for Oct-April. BTW replaced the Firestone Transforce 275/70 tires at 21k with Michelin Defender 285/65. Lowered the TPMS values to 30 F 40 B and set tire pressure at 40 F 50 B for around town. Big difference in ride and...- Fitz-0518

Multifunction Tailgate ram
You need to re read the post. If Benny is Shipley, then we agree. He is doing what most other dealers won't do. As stated FCA as always is the problem.- Fitz-0518

Multifunction Tailgate ram
I find this incredible FCA ignorance. Big shout out to SHIPLEY for being a World Class dealer guy. Very rare today. Surprised that AllMopar can't nail this down. Clearly this is a manufactured part of the tailgate.- Fitz-0518

Finally got a chance to tow with the 6.4
My wife tows her 2 horse goose neck sleeper with our 2018 2500 6speed 2wd quad cab. The wet weight is 7800-8200 pounds with water tank, horse and all the comforts of home. Her "Horse Camp" tow trips are from Central Ca to the Coast or up to the Sierra's. Many up and down hills and a couple...- Fitz-0518

Finally got a chance to tow with the 6.4
^^^You are making a good point that for some maybe obvious but for others needs to be explained. The Diesel versus Gas choice in the 2500 and 3500 is a choice that many of us considered carefully. I do not believe RAM did a good job explaining what and why the 6.4HD for our trucks was/is a...- Fitz-0518

Should you replace rotors with every break job
^^^^^^Amen fully agree. When I do replace the factory rotors, I go with the high carbon steel, severe duty rotors. -

How Many Miles Can I Get Out Of The Pentastar?
I have the 2018 1500 Tradesman QC 3.6 8 speed. Have had GM V8's since the 60's and HEMI's since 03. First V-6 in a truck. Could not turn down the price but was wary of the V6. Have 6k miles now. This truck has grown on me. The HP is surprising and the 8 speed trans is a perfect match. Gas...- Fitz-0518

Synthetic Oil
Way back in this thread you will find some great information about the long term owner dilemma. Thought it would be helpful to bring it forward. Our focus on oil and filters has always been from the perspective that we are the ones generally, that keep our trucks for more than 36 months and 70k...- Fitz-0518

Alright Gents I owe you good people a Redline report. My 2018 3.6 V6 1500 Tradesman QC 8 speed. Now have 6000 miles. Have had start up internal engine rattle. Some of you will remember that on the last oil change, I used a mix of PUP 5-20 and 5-30. Same problem. No change. Today 6 Redline 5-30...- Fitz-0518

MDS....Did you turn it off or leave it on?
Harley, excellent help and explanation of how this sophisticated system works. But,,,,it reinforces the owners POV who want it deactivated. However I respect your point that using the wrong oil (0-40 is spec for 6.4 HD) can cause engine misread/codes and potential malfunction. Some of what you...- Fitz-0518

MDS....Did you turn it off or leave it on?
The one question that has yet to be answered. (At least I have not been able to find the answer in any of our threads on this subject) When towing with the 2018 2500 6.4 6 spd. 1. When you set the tow button,,,is MDS turned off? 2. If you push the tow button on "and" set the gear selector to...- Fitz-0518
