    Slowest-selling vehicle in America is the Dodge Ram 2500 truck

    Hmmm, got my Ram 2500 4WD Tradesman w/hemi & 7.4” Uconnect delivered to TN for $46,400 in Feb 2022. I guess prices do matter.

    5th Gen seats in a 4th Gen?

    I have 2017 1500 2WD Std Cab Tradesman Express(= Ram Classic now). I added Katzkin leather to my two front seats, arm rest box etc... I bought an 2022 2500 Tradesman with vinyl seats because I'd measured the bolt pattern and they will swap... I did realize later that the wiring harnesses do...

    Audio Upgrade & Modification Basics!

    Audio install novice here…. So I had help installing two powered slim subs in my 1500 and now have my 2500. I’ve already moved the speakers over but the SL powered subs are still in the garage & I’d rather put them in the 2500. Question - Since the SL powered sub draws 12Amp & I’m putting two...

    2500 warranty & extended warranty? Worth it?

    2022 Ram 2500 4x4 Tradesman 11months owned, 8,000miles. Is it worth buying the extended warranty early, or waiting a couple of years?

    2500 Tradesman LED bed lights?

    Has anyone added the Ram LED truck bed lights after taking possession of the truck? If so, is the wiring loom there and you just have to clip in the lights & switch?

    That’s too bad. I’d think they woulda fixed it by now.

    power running boards

    I added AMP boards to my 2500. It was a HUGE pain. AMP still hasn’t fixed the clearance issues of the pinchweld on the 2500. All they need to do is make the rubber stoppers 1/2-3/4” thicker and it won’t jam on the pinch weld. Now that they’re installed, I do like the step height but for the...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    If a spray-in liner… I’d just get a more powerful magnet but detaching the access panel may be difficult.

    Can I add airbags to 2019 Ram 1500 and not void factory warranty?

    I have Ram 1500 Std Cab with 5.7 Hemi. I fled CA in Feb 2020 & made two trips with a PACKED U-haul 6X12 trailer. I added Air-Lift 1000HDs & looped them both together to a schraeder valve in the gas fill compartment. The combination of the Weigh-Safe hitch and Air-Lifts helped me to manage the...

    2500 Amp Research Running Boards installation issues.

    Bought Amp Research Powered running boards for my 2500. A couple of YouTube videos mentioned “minor” issues with the pinch weld contacting the boards on retraction. I figured Amp would’ve fixed the problem but after installing according to their instructions… it’s definitely an issue. Upon...

    2500 Tradesman (2022) Looking for in floor storage part numbers

    That’s definitely not the “foot wells” in the pic. That’s the storage bin behind the seat of the standard 2-door cab… I know because I’ve removed it a few times to swap 6X9 speakers in the A-frame. Not much confidence in the Mopar parts list right now.

    2500 Tradesman (2022) Looking for in floor storage part numbers

    I know my vehicle… I ordered it & have the VIN. The local dealership looked up my VIN & said it was not available… even though all the access points are in the body. I realize that I’ll have to cut my rubber floor but that’s ok. I’ve trim-fit plenty of things.

    2500 Tradesman (2022) Looking for in floor storage part numbers

    Yeah… our local dealership has 0 (zero) Ram 2500s on the lot. After bringing mine in for warranty software update, they’ve been writing & calling me to buy mine. (Didn’t buy it from them since they wanted $4,000 over MSRP on the order so I bought/ordered it elsewhere for $4,500 under MSRP.)

    2500 Tradesman (2022) Looking for in floor storage part numbers

    My 2500 Tradesman has the cut-outs in the body for the in-floor storage. Does anyone have the part number for the “bucket” & “lids” that come on those? My dealer will only give me part numbers for what my truck has & not what I’d like it to have.

    MPG Update on 2019 Laramie 4X4 Hemi 3.92

    I found about 2MPG difference between running 93Oct vs 87Oct so I never felt bad about paying for it on road trips. In town, I usually just run 87 but I’m a strange man with odd ideas.

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Added magnets under tailgait access panel so when fixing things on the tailgate, screws etc… stay in place. It takes a T35 Torx bit.

    Recertify a 2500 to a higher GVWR?

    So… I don’t want to burst anyone’s bubbles but… the internet can be wrong(Santa’s real). There are lots of “fees” added to the DMV final registration cost that isn’t included in the on-line data. The true registration cost is how much lighter your wallet is when you leave with your plates &...

    Recertify a 2500 to a higher GVWR?

    In CA three years ago… a buddy bought a 1500 Limited & his registration was $700 for the first year. He’s down to $550/year now & thinks he’s getting a deal. I left CA for TN & my 1500 Tradesman went down from $575 to $74/year in TN.

    I did it!! Ordered a 2022 2500 Laramie Night Edition

    Congrats! I ordered my 2500 Tradesman on 12/27/2022 & it came in Mid-March. The cool thing is that your name is on the window sticker. This is the second time I ordered from that fleet group in SoCal(prices are better from the fleet guys). The first was a Ram 1500. I framed the window sticker &...
