    I'm growing impatient.

    Been waiting for months to order a 2021 Ram 2500 and dealer says they do not have the software yet. You think it's because the local dealer is small run of the mill in rural area ? I've got 3 people wanting to buy my old truck but can't sell it. Lol

    Nothing but respect for 5.7 Hemi.

    Getting ready to trade in my 3rd gen for 2021 6.4 Hemi to pull our 7500 lb trailer but before I do I wanna give my respects. Just got back from a 2 week trip pulling our trailer , 4 passengers and bed loaded to capacity through the very steep mountains of WV. The truck " 2004 2500 " spent most...

    Do you get gouged when building a truck.

    I've bought several new trucks but never had dealer do a build. Pretty much made up my mind that's the route I'm taking on a 2021 HD. It feels weird sitting down talking to the salesman and trying to figure out a negotiation strategy when I'm ordering a truck. How did ya'll do it ?

    Got myself in a Jam.

    Time for a new truck as my reliable 04 Ram 2500 is getting up in years. Here's the problem : My best friend is GM at a huge Ford dealership and said he'd put me in a new Ford Super duty 2500 with the 7.3 gas at his cost. The truck I was struck on was a 2020 Bighorn 2500 with 6.4 Hemi. Now...

    Wife wants a bigger camper.

    The wife and I have been RVing for many years and lots of good times but she won't let me hang on to a trailer very long. I have to keep upgrading my trucks to pull them which downgrades my wallet. So I'm back to the dealership looking at trucks and wanna be done playing. Currently have a...

    I'll never own another one.

    Thought I was gonna say Dodge Ram ? Nah, talking about the useless, whistling, squealing, screeching throttle body spacer. I'm old and always put them on my small blocks back in the 70's. My current 5.7 Hemi sounded like 2 cats fighting at around 2000 rpms. Now all I hear is the enjoyable...

    Need opinions on gears.

    I'm in the process of ordering new gear set for for my 2004 Ram 2500 5.7. I've decided on Yukons and thinking 4.56 gears with 35" tires and 5spd auto would be about right. Should I consider 4.88's ? Truck is not a daily driver and is used mainly to pull an RV.

    Liking this new brake controller.

    Been towing for many years and have always fought with brake controllers, always readjusting on the fly to prevent trailer tires from skidding . Yes I know how to adjust the drum brakes. So I tried a Curt kinetic and find it fantastic....set and forget. For anyone looking.
