    2020 3500 6.7 HO speed limited??

    I haven't topped out my 3500 DRW w/HO 6.7 and honestly don't ever intend to. Most people buy these for towing capacity and not speed anyway! But, funny story, I had a 1990 RX7 Turbo that I bought new and asked the dealer why the cruise control only held at 105 when the speedo went to 160. He...

    Auxiliary Gas Tank in Bed

    How's this, note Section (5), as I recall you have a one ton dually, probably with a GVWR over 10k https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/49/393.67

    Gear+ / Gear- buttons on steering wheel?

    I use them all the time when I'm towing my TT and coming up to a stop. Of course, once stopped, I have to hit the + button repeatedly until the numbers go away and the D is completely lit. And I actually LIKE where the buttons are located.

    Auxiliary Gas Tank in Bed

    EXCEPT for the fact that it's ILLEGAL to plumb gas straight into the filler tube. That's the reason it's difficult to find an Aux tank actually RATED and legal for gas. If you read and actually adhere to the descriptions of MOST available tanks they explicitly say "Not for Gasoline use." I...

    Secondary diesel tank?

    I had a 46 gal tank on my old gasser Ram and had a fuel pump hooked to it with a nozzle, since it's illegal to gravity feed gas. Kind of a pain to have to stop and use the nozzle, but it worked fine. Never had to mess with my ECU, as the fillups automatically reset my MTE display. Over the...

    Whats biggest thing you've towed with your 1500?

    I towed a 34 ft TT that weighed dry around 9k lbs, with stock bump stops and a reese antisway platform and NEVER had an issue. This would lead me to believe the weight distribution platform wasn't set up correctly. Sounds like it took too much weight off the steer axle. I now have a 40ft fifth...

    Whats biggest thing you've towed with your 1500?

    For the first 3 years with my 2017 5.2 RAM, I hauled a Trail Runner 302SLE travel trailer with a 2002 Sportster trike conversion attached to a receiver hitch with the front wheel off the ground. Towed MANY a mile with this combo, estimated 9k lbs. Recently bought a 2020 Puma Unleashed toy hauler...

    Vibration at 70 mph and above

    Maybe a bit off the wall, but my 2017 1500 would vibrate between 70 and 75. Granted, it did not shake the whole truck as you describe, but it was noticeable in my butt and throttle foot. I took it to one dealer and after they ran out a full tank of gas trying to diagnose the issue Dodge told...

    Tailgate lock recall notice

    It wasn't a recall for the park thing with the door open on my 2017 1500 and it's a BIG PITA when hooking up a trailer and having to adjust forward or back an inch or two! Does anyone know if there is an override for this? I had the tailgate recall done on Saturday when I was in for an oil change.

    Trans, adapters, modifications and labor ran me $3500.

    Help a new TT owner out...

    Some of the assumptions were correct, I absolutely cannot stand automatic transmissions. So I had a local speed shop put the 6 speed manual trans in after I bought it with the automatic.

    Help a new TT owner out...

    Looking at your pic, the front of your TT seems to be lower than the back! IMO, you need to take up one link in your bars! Just my 2 pennies!

    Help a new TT owner out...

    I have a 2017 Ram 1500 Crew Cab with the 5.7, 3:21 gears and a manual transmission. I tow a 38 ft. Trail Runner TT that weighs approx. 7K loaded. Now attached to the frame of my TT, I have a 2 in receiver that I use to tow my 1200 lb. Harley Tri Glide with the front wheel up and a Predator 3500...

    Manual Trans no longer available?

    I contacted my local dealer last week to ask when the 2019 2500/3500 would be available for dealer ordering. I was told that they could order one right away, so I drove to Autonation South in Columbus, GA and began placing my order. I got as far as the diesel engine and MANUAL transmission...

    Poll- Would you buy a Ram again??

    I am waiting for the 2500, and 3500, to be offered. I have an '18 1500 with the hemi and SRW. I want DRW and a dually with the Cummins and a MANUAL transmission. Ford and Chevy do NOT offer this combination. And I never really cared for Detroit based diesels anyway. The Detroit diesel is the...

    Does it bother you when people call your RAM a Dodge?

    Just TRY to order a Ford OR a General Motors(Chevy/GMC) with a diesel AND a MANUAL transmission! I cannot wait for the 2019 3500's to be orderable!!!

    Try calling it Government Motors and see what you get!

    Does it bother you when people call your RAM a Dodge?

    You do know that Cummins is NOT a division of FCA, right? Cummins INC. made diesel engines for OTR trucks LONG before Dodge approached them to design a downsized version.

    I wonder if he calls Chevy's & Jimmies as 'Government Motors'?

    Custom Factory Order

    I hope you are shopping for a 1500! The 2500 and 3500 are NOT orderable until January 1, 2019. I have a similar issue, because I want a 2500/3500 DRW, 4x2, with a diesel and a manual transmission. I have visited my dealer and was told that I could not order these models before January 2019! I...
