    Best 1/2 ton configuration for towing

    I’ve got a 7k TT bumper pull and looking to configure a 1/2 ton p/u for pulling it. We mostly travel out west and wonder what is the best combination. TIA

    Performance at higher altitude

    I have a 2018 CTD that performs and runs great. But if I get above 5k ft ASL it acts crazy. Running with cruise on, it will start to pull (towing) and then kind of hang up until the speed drops then downshift and take off. The transmission and exhaust brake act screwy as well. My question is...

    Electrical Problems

    I have been having intermittent electrical issues. They wouldn’t throw any codes and very sporadic. For a while now my engine oil temperature would drop 15-20 degrees when I would slow down or stop. Never the same amount and not every time. Was at my daughters house and started to leave and the...

    Maintenance Schedule Updated?

    I have the Mopar/Ram app and was looking at the maintenance schedule and it is completely different from what it used to look like. It says to change oil when the oil life indicator says to and change fuel filters every second oil change. No mention of mileage or time period. Has anyone else...

    A/C Turning Itself On

    I read a previous thread about the a/c turning itself on but the thread ended without anyone saying they found out what it was. Mine is doing the same thing but only seems to do it when it’s first started. Mine doesn’t have the climate control system and sometimes I can turn it on and back off...

    First Dealer Visit for Warranty Work

    Took my new 2018 in today to get them to check out the oil temperature gauge situation I’ve been having. They couldn’t find anything wrong. I asked if they would check out the grease on the engine fan and the fan clutch had to be replaced. 5169 miles and the fan clutch is bad. The dealer had it...

    Oil Temperature ?

    I have a 2018 Tradesman with the CTD with the EVIC gauges. While driving the other day I noticed the oil temperature varying a good bit. It would go up to 195 and then drop to 177 and slowly go back up and drop again. Water temperature would rise to 192 then drop back to 188. I understand the...

    Another Oil Question

    Anyone tried or running Delo 400 XSP 5-40? I ran Delo for years in Class 8’s but before the DPF emergence. Delo/Chevron has supposedly developed better wear preventative additives than Phosphorus and Zinc to reduce Sulphated Ash in the exhaust. Just wondering if anyone is using it and how it’s...

    Oil Filter Bypass Valve or Not

    I've got a new 2018 6.7 CTD and I'm gathering up my parts and supplies for my first oil change. I was planning on using the Mopar filter and the new Rotella T6 15-40. I keep reading people recommending the Donaldson Blue filters but they say they don't have a bypass valve. My question is do the...

    How to add a bug screen for your coolers

    I looked and looked for a good ready made bug screen for my 18’ 2500 with no luck. So I pulled the grill today and made my own. I started by pulling the grill and layed it on a blanket to keep from scratching it up. Then took a piece of 1/8” mesh hardware cloth that came in a roll 3’x10’ and...
