    Swap out center console for middle seat

    They are easy to switch out and you will be able to fins a center seat on ebay for a couple hundred dollars. Good news is that your console is worth over $1000. Ive changed a few of them going both directions and its easy but lengthy. The hard part is finding all of the dash trim pieces to...

    Oil pressure question

    The oil pressure sensor was an oem mopar unit. I’ve used a mopar filter a couple of times and nothing changes. The truck has had the same readings for almost 20,000 miles with 4-5 oil and filter changes. I’ve used PUP, royal purple and mobil1

    Will I regret not getting the V8 even if I don’t tow? Debating which truck to get…

    My son-in-law has a v6 and says its good, as long as he doesn’t tow anything heavy. Pulling a large atv and utility trailer up hill is a big issue for it. His next truck will be a V8 Personally I wouldn’t consider a v6. I’d rather have more than i need than need more than i have. Just my...

    Backup cam jacked?

    I fixed mine the same way Randy did but I smeared the connectors with dialectic grease. No issue since.

    Disgusted

    I’m really sorry you have had the issue with your brand new truck. But with all the electronics on the new trucks it’s amazing to me that more crap doesn’t go wrong. In fact my fourth generation ram with less than 40,000 miles had a weeks cell in the battery. My dash look like a Christmas tree...

    Oil pressure question

    By the way, at 40,000 miles I did change the fluid in both differentials, the transfer case, the coolant and I intend to change the brake fluid this weekend. Being an old-school mechanic I can’t leave things alone knowing that they will ultimately go bad if they’re not maintained properly.

    Oil pressure question

    I checked with my owners manual and it does not reference 5W-30 at all. That reference is from an older ram I think prior to 2014. Also I’ve been going to the same dealership for about 15 years and they’ve never given me any trouble whatsoever. And it’s always the same service writer and...

    Oil pressure question

    Well, I stopped into the local dealer today and talked to the service writer and to a tech guy. Both agreed that my oil pressure is in spec and there are no worries. I asked about changing to 5w30 or 0w30 and they both agreed that 5w20 is the proper weight oil for my hemi and for maintaining the...

    Oil pressure question

    I’m using the reading off of the dash screen. The oil pressure sensor was changed about four months ago because the oil pressure was all over the place, but the readings i get now are exactly the same as the previous sensor before it crapped out.

    Oil pressure question

    I’m wondering if i should consider switching to a 5w30 on the next oil change, just to see if it makes a difference????? Suggestions?

    Oil pressure question

    On initial startup the pressure is high 50’s. At warm idle it is 26-28 I’ve been using mobil1 5w20 and mobil1 filter.

    Oil pressure question

    I know my oil pressure is a bit lower than most ive seen on this forum. It’s right at 47 psi at 70+ mph when warm, but i believe that is in spec. The question is this: when i start the truck (2019 classic Hemi) the oul pressure gauge immediately jumps to the midpoint….all good and no ticking...

    Is 5k over sticker a good price?

    That’s absolutely insane to ask that much or anything over msrp. The dealers are taking advantage of customers in anticipation of the next market slowdown with an impending recession. Then they will be giving them away at $10k under msrp just to get them off the lot.

    Advice before buying

    I would look for a truck with a 3.92 differential and a factory tow package which comes with heavy duty components….far better than an add on hitch. Remember too, that a 5,000 pound trailer is closer to 7,000 pounds once you get it loaded. I agree, a 3/4 ton truck would be better….only towing...

    Toyo Open Country A/T III for a 1500

    I had them on a 2wd silverado 2500 for towing a 10,000 pound 5th wheel. They were the best tires i ever owned on a heavy duty truck. In winter i thought i suddenly had 4wd in the snow. They worr very well. I wouldnt put them on a half ton daily driver because they are heavy bit quiet. Way...

    Transmission Fluid / Service

    Well, thats what they say. But, at 100,000 miles i assume you’re out of warranty. So if/when it goes they’ll be glad to replace/rebuild it at your expense. My son-in-law has a 2015 with 175,000 miles. He changes the oil when he thinks of it, and has never changed the transmission fluid. So who...

    New A/T tires throwing rocks, solutions?

    Probably not, but it’s pretty easy. I used fishing line to saw behind each badge to cut the double sided tape. Then i peeled of the remainder and cleaned it up with wd40. I used 3m auto tape to reapply badges after I installed the flares.

    Rear coil spacers with stock shocks?

    I replaced my rear springs with 2” drop springs, which i know is not what you want. But the point is that when i removed the springs, the spring pockets were not very deep… l would estimate less than two inches. Hence, with spacers added to either end of the spring, i dont know if any of the...

    2nd Ram first 4WD

    Ive owned four Rams. Only the first was 2wd. The only time i ever used 4wd was on the test drive when i asked the salesman to show me how it worked. I just never needed it. Why do i keep paying for it? I guess I'd rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it. Ha

    New A/T tires throwing rocks, solutions?

    I have/had the same issues. I first tried mudflaps but they only helped about 50% of the problem. Rocks flew off the tires from the top and even the front as the tire rotated if they had been jammed in pretty tight. The only thing that really worked for me was fender flares. Not my favorite but...

    Paint for Ram Side Steps

    Nope. Never thought about it. I thought that scuffing it up pretty good with a wire brush on a hi speed drill would do the trick as the herculiner bedliner can said it wont come off once dry. Ugh.

    Looking to low rear 2 inches

    I used pro suspension on my 2019 classic. Worked great, took an hour to install, rides the same without any issues. Mine is a 1500. Not sure you can do it on a 2500 for a 5th wheel
