    Ram Puck to Gooseneck

    I have a 2019 3500. I purchased the Ram puck system parts from our local dealer and had a local mechanic install it, as dealer would not do the install. That's the 4 point system for a 5th wheel hitch. Now I'm about to sell the truck and buyer wants gooseneck. Does he just need to drill the...

    Reducing Tire Pressure?

    I have a 2019 3500 Tradesman. The door tag specifies 60 psi front, and 80 psi rear. That's great when we use it for what we bought it for: towing a 5th wheel. Now we want to use it on some rough road with no load, e.g. combined hwy/city/mountain use. The ride on the mountain roads is too...

    How much def usage is normal?

    Got my 2019 in November and now it has 3000 miles, about 900 of that towing an 11,000 lbs 5th Wheel. It has used 5.5 G of DEF. Is that normal, or is something wrong?

    I hate tire chains....

    ... but due to chain laws I have to have them, and there have been a few times I've actually used them. But, I haven't had to buy a new set in about 30 years. Now with our new 2019 3500 I have totally different beast... It has the LT275/70/R18 tires. Any suggestions, or are all they all...

    Noob, tastes like chicken....

    Thanks guys! Good to know about the block heater being there. I put the cord and and a finish plug in my cart on Amazon. Video shows it's simple. I had seen the B&W Companion with the puck for the Ram, but I had thought that it required the Ram 5'er Prep to attach to. They have the other...

    Hi, We called the dealer and arranged to pick up a new 2019 Ram 3500 Diesel with the 68rfe and a Tradesman 2 package, spray-in liner and trailer brake controller, 12,300 GVWR. We are planning to get it tomorrow for purpose of pulling an RV. Mostly likely a 5th wheel. It will be our first...
