    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    Mine just started dinging about this too. 2018 ctd with 60k miles. It appears this site, which I think is a dealer, has a bunch of the new part number. https://www.clearlakemoparparts.com/oem-parts/mopar-anti-lock-brake-system-hydraulic-control-unit-68143491ab Guess I'll buy one and save my...

    Backup camera

    I too have no issue hitting the ball, just think it’s lame for it not to be centered. If it’s fine the way ours is, why did they change it and other trucks have theirs centered? Look again when you hook up, very obvious it’s off center. I guess I expect more from a $70k+ rig.

    Backup camera

    The camera on my 2018 2500 ctd is not centered in the tailgate handle, it’s off to the drivers side. I noticed new ones, or maybe the 1500s are. Has anyone swapped, or know if I can swap mine for one with the camera centered in the tailgate handle? Would make it much more useful when hooking up...

    Steering wheel jerking during turn

    80,000 km and the u joints are going bad? That sounds fast right? ~50k miles....? Did you lift the truck?

    Transmission service 66rfe

    Not just ram on the mpgs, hd trucks are not required to display that. No crash rating on the sticker either for hd.

    My first oil change & LUBE???

    Yep. Under the front of the hood on the drivers side it says to lube the front drive shaft. You need a needle for your grease gun to do it. There are a couple YouTube videos on where the lube hole is. They need to put a little fur around it... it’d make it much easier to find.

    Looks like there are a bunch of videos on YouTube on how to do it. Check those out and see if you pick up any tricks. Sucks...

    Rear shocks

    I haven’t taken my rear shocks off, just the fronts, but they don’t leave much room for much leverage. Can you get an impact on the nut? Maybe it will pop it lose before your hex slips. Or am I thinking the wrong place, I want to think there’s room.

    Apply some heat to it. Careful after all the stuff you sprayed on it you do burn that mf to the ground.

    Drag Link Recall ... Video

    That’s how it comes from the factory. If the fix was completed, those nuts would have been welded.

    2018 2500HD searching for leveling kit

    I also did the rough county 2.5 level kit and kept the bilstien shocks that came on mine. It sits 1/4 higher in the rear, which is perfect for my taste. I did install helper bags to avoid the “Cali lean” when towing our boat. It’s an easy dyi install if you have two jacks and tall jack stands.

    Test drove an '18 Tradesman CTD...

    Pulling doesn’t change much... I got 16 pulling our boat last week with the cruise on 70, 4200 lbs. Blows my mind that it never downshifts, even up hills. My first diesel and have been really impressed so far. Our v8 4runner would get 7 when pulling our boat....lol. To be fair it got 12 on its...

    Test drove an '18 Tradesman CTD...

    My 2018 2500 ctd gets ~18.5 average mpg. Once I put a leveling kit on it, the ride really smoothed out. Or a couple 100# of something in the bed works too.

    Traded in 2016 6.4 to new Cummins!

    Oh, yeah. I’m sure it voids warranty on any parts it effects... ball joints, cvs...ect. I guess it depends on if the dealer cares too though.

    Traded in 2016 6.4 to new Cummins!

    I assume you are making a joke, as the “fix” for that is a joke. Yes, after it was aligned I adjusted the link to center my steering wheel. I can’t imagine how that would effect the warranty.

    The sport comes with the bilstein shocks. I just did the relocation brackets.

    Traded in 2016 6.4 to new Cummins!

    Looks great. If you think she rides a little tight, I found two options helpful. One, add ~200 lbs of something in the bed. Or I just leveled mine with a 2.5 inch rough country kit, for $99, and it rides so much better. Easy diy install too. I’m adding bags now as well so no negative rake when I...

    What mirrors are those? Mines a 2018 sport too, but has the small blinker led on them.

    Better mpg

    Nobody mentioned tow mirrors causing mpg robbing drag. Guess it’s just the cost of looking good?

    What mods /best mods

    Put a Cummins in it?

    Help!! Please!!

    Yeah the diesel is bigger in Kansas and surrounding states.... I assume he got his from a tank somewhere. Not many gas stations tow trucks can get to.

    Difference between 2015 and 2018 model trucks

    Agreed on shying away from the first year model. I thought it was a myth about working the “bugs out” and bought a first year 2015 mdx. That thing was in the shop more than on the road. Not only that but when it was time to sell it, it was not worth what it should have been.

    Cummins block heater

    Nope, shouldn’t change any of that. I installed a cord on mine, no change but warm on start up for me.
