So Long Ram
But your post doesn’t make sense. He recently has a Ram and that’s why he was here. He didn’t but a Ford to come here. He was already here….. Plus it’s the general discussion forum. I don’t see the problem. it’s not like he’s going into the Lifted section talking about lifting his Ford….or...- rwhjr

So Long Ram
Come on man. I bought a Ford after years owning a Ram. I still love this place because the people who post here are great and we at least have common interest in trucks. Content should stay Ram for the most part but that doesn’t mean us traitors can’t stick around.- rwhjr

Girl needed new shoes!
Gotta admit it is a good color. My Ram was delmonico red and loved that color in the bright/direct sun. -

Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!
Looks great now you just gotta get the front lower air dam back on and it’ll be complete. Does the front sir higher than rear or just the driveway angle? -
What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?
I thought white letters weren’t a thing anymore until I bought my new truck and found out they still exist lol. Have to admit I have no urge to change it either. They’ve grown on me.- rwhjr

Just lifted my Lonestar Ram
My oem big horn wheels on my old truck would rub with 35x11.5s. Had to run 1.25” spacer to make them clear the knuckles in the front. Rear would’ve been fine but fronts rubbed. I think the real deciding factor is lift brand hence it comes down to what knuckles you have. So I can confirm the... -
Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!
6.2 Wanted something tried and true and have seen nothing but good stuff about the 6.2 being bulletproof with proper maintenance. Will tow 10k lbs with ease. Was going to try the 7.3 but I don’t generally like to try new engines out. It’s definitely the more flashy engine but with no real... -
Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!
Bittersweet day today was the last with my beloved 4th Gen 1500. I feel like the time flew and I’ll always appreciate the timeless sharp curves of these trucks. I’m definitely going to stay around watching what you guys do to yours going forward and live vicariously. Heres the replacement... -
Lifted 4th Gen Pics - Show Em Off!
Last few pics I’ll take....getting traded in either tomorrow or Tuesday. Was the 1st truck I bought after business became successful and was able to get a nice truck (aka more than the single cab 2wd work trucks I was used to). Next truck won’t be welcome here (but I’ll probably always check... -
5000lb trailer/550lb tongue weight
Im in Calvert county. The work’s spread out in DC/MD/VA. but the guy driving it comes from almost 80miles down in Virginia. So we will be looking to locate the trailer no more than 20miles out from most of the jobs in an effort to limit percentage of time towing.- rwhjr

5000lb trailer/550lb tongue weight
Well it looks like we decided on the following setup. Due to the trailers empty weight being 3500lbs (and I mentioned 5000lbs as a guess to how much it is with all tools/equip). 2019 big horn 1500 classic w/5.7 engine going to keep trailer remotely at a storage yard to limit total miles...- rwhjr

5000lb trailer/550lb tongue weight
Truck door sticker lists payload as ~2050lbs if we go f150 it’s either going to be a Ram 1500 5.7 or an f150 with the eco boost.....would get an extended powertrain since I know we’ll be using it if we go with a lightly used truck Another option might be to store trailer closer to the region...- rwhjr

5000lb trailer/550lb tongue weight
Will a half ton tow this trailer with 5000lb total weight/550lb tongue weight on a daily basis without getting ragged out? this is a work setup that will be driven about 100miles per day Monday thru Friday. So we’re talking roughly 25,000miles per year towing. I’m hoping it’s not asking too...- rwhjr

Tyger Vs Mopar Rivet flares
it’s not too hard. I had flares with PPF under them. 1) You just “dry mount” the flares 2) use painters tape and put it on the body right up to the flare 3) remove flares 4) put PPF up right to the painters tape 5) rip off the painters tape & permanently install flares did mine that way... -
Stock wheel but bigger tires

2500 Cummins, good for towing or not?
I looked at a 2500 Cummins truck with mega cab and the payload was below 2000lbs. It was only 1,8XXlbs. I was shocked in not so good of a way. No way I’d buy an HD truck with such a weak payload. By the time you get even close to what it can tow you’ll surpass payload. So to me the truck just...- rwhjr

Widely Known Issues
I need the diesel to tow my massive manhood around. Duh! No but in all seriousness I’ll periodically tow a directional drill around. The 6.4 is limited to 16k lbs? These drills themselves weight that much (so including the trailer the 6.4 truck won’t last long). Now the 6.4 will be fine for...- rwhjr

Widely Known Issues
Hey crazy jerry relax lol. I’m pointing out flaws in each. I know the good parts of them (and they’re all good in those respects). That’s why when a person spends this much (HD trucks are expensive) I wanna make sure it’s the possible/likely flaws of each that I could live with. And the...- rwhjr

New Cummins HO vs Non-HO spec
So guys with the HO Cummins/Aisin have contradicted your opinion on the harshness with their actual real world experience. Along with overstating the “neck-breaking” shifts of the Aisin you also overstated the payload difference. Yes losing 300lbs payload isn’t desired but it’s not the end of...- rwhjr

Widely Known Issues
Okay....we all love our Rams. But they’re expensive now and I know each brand has their hang-ups/common issues. What seems to be the most common issues with the 2019+ HD trucks??? I’ve seen guys with the new Power Strokes complaining about transmissions, Duramax guys complaining about...- rwhjr

Diesel Emissions...
My driving is a mix. It’d be a mix of 30-50mi (each direction) and then occasionally (usually weekends) where it’s roughly 10mi each way trips. and as I said there will be times towing 12-15,000lb trailers for work tested stuff but not on a daily basis. So really it’s a mixed bag. I’m not...- rwhjr
