    Remove your bed to cab seal asap!

    That is the reason I removed the part on my 18 in 2019. There was a mountain of tree litter down there just rotting away. The 3 pieces on the front of the box are just fairings for aerodynamics and are not supposed to touch the cab.

    Best engine oil for 2013 5.7?

    How about regular old up to specs dino juice? Works just fine when we're already changing oil 10 times more often than we used to in the 60's and the engines now burn at least 10 times cleaner. Engines are just regular machines and get hot. I guess nobody remembers vegetable and whale oils in...

    Poll: Reliability vs. Comfort

    Let's just say bad poll question. Why would you buy anything that doesn't give you both comfort AND reliability? Something like a 2018 Ram 5.7 auto 4x4 crew cab shortbox?

    Which models are stolen most?

    No I am not referring to remote start. Push-button or keyless whatever. The ones that get stolen because no key gets inserted. You know. All the stolen ones.

    2016 1500 5.7 Died, Please help!

    The starts/dies situation sounds like the key fob chip reader inside the column where the fob is inserted. Happens while driving on the highway or parked doesn't matter. All dash warnings and dead at the same time. Will restart and then die again. I think there's a timer on the starting...

    Anyone else get real nervous after their first oil change at their own hands?

    No oil under the truck on the ground? Then I guess it won't evaporate into space.

    Do you use anti seize or impact drill on your lug nuts

    As a retired industrial mechanic. Never lubricate your threads without understanding lubricated bold thread torque specs.

    New Dexter brakes now check wiring message

    Because I have sporadic manual control I am thinking of checking the ground 2 ways before lifting the trailer and pulling off the wheels again. - unhitched at the ball using an ohmmeter frame to frame with only the trailer 7 pin plug connected - hitched at the ball testing frame to frame without...

    New Dexter brakes now check wiring message

    I just replaced my electric brakes with new brake plates and within a mile got error message-'check trailer brake wiring' Then 'trailer brakes disconnected'. All worked well with the old setup. Pulled off the inline crimp wire connectors and rewired by twisting and taping strands. Same problem...

    Weight distribution vs air bags

    The lift height matters less than the ball height. The more lift you have the more of a dropped ball is needed. As long as the trailer is not running nose high the WDH system will work.

    Sway and Level on Enclosed Trailer

    If this trailer is on a bumper mount ball then you are correct at tongue weight of 500#. OP says he has the potential for a drop mount I think. That' would be a frame mount class 4 hitch rated to about a 1100# tongue load. He needs a lower than 6" drop ball then go from there with weight...

    Oil Filter Thread

    I know that this oil filter issue is top of mind for some people. Not me. 50 years of driving and a lot of those driving full time in company trucks that never even saw oil changes. Never ever seen an engine fail or show any signs of problems on those trucks. I change my oil and filter every...

    Cut one wire to disable my truck- Which One ? (Theft Protection)

    Never own anything that you fear to be stolen. You'll live your life in fear. Do what you want to protect your truck but remember most vehicle thefts whether admitted or not are keys left in the vehicle OR flatbed tow trucks just grabbing it from your parking spot. Hot wiring doesn't really...

    HVAC and Radio switches not working

    There is a single inline mini fuse all by itself on a small harness pretty much right beside the brake booster. Follow the wires leading from the negative battery post about 6 to 8 inches. It is under a flip up cap and is yellow. When a mechanic pulled that fuse to shut down my failed update...

    Looking at 2013 1/2 Laramie with 147,000 Miles. Thoughts?

    Yah I beleive that but until you or me or my local shade tree garage can get into starscan diagnostics we're kinda screwed aren't we. Meanwhile after 5 or 6 thousand dollars parking it on winter ice would have been a better option in thousands of peoples cases.

    Need another key

    No second key is the sign of a repo. Go back to the seller and find out why no second key. Quite often people that stop payments also stop giving any due care to the vehicle.

    Looking at 2013 1/2 Laramie with 147,000 Miles. Thoughts?

    Computers and electronic related stuff put me in the hole on my last 2 high mileage/aged vehicles. My 07 Wrangler unlimited Rubicon would have been better off parked on frozen lake ice waiting till spring than the computer repairs I paid for before getting nothing realistic on a trade in...

    60 days waiting for parts

    What area do you live in? I don't want to need parts there. The parts are made at a supplier factory every day of every week not a Ram plant. Your problem is with the people who have your truck with weeds growing around it. Where they decide to get their parts from is a mystery. In the real...

    60 days waiting for parts

    60 days??? Your repair has fallen off their repair schedule. Ask them where your truck is. Why do you need the spider gears? Is this a repair issue or upgrade issue
