    Remover and repaint or replace?

    Can't really do my own warranty and recall work though, but I get what you're saying! The rear slider actuator was failing so they had to pull the back seats, and the radiator fan wasn't kicking in so they replaced the fan clutch, plus the recall was the nut on the drag link that can come loose...

    Remover and repaint or replace?

    Took my truck in for a recall and a couple of warranty repairs and got it back with a chunk of paint out of the driver door handle. I am not looking forward to the door coming apart, #1, and #2, Its going to have to be perfect or I'm not taking the truck off the lot until it is. How...

    ‘18 2500 Cummins no cooling fan

    Good call. Yesterday the dealer replaced the fan clutch and for the first time since I bought the truck I can actually hear the fan coming up to speed. 16,000+ miles and it only gets hot when idling. I pulled a car on a flat trailer to Carlisle PA in July and the engine never got over 205...

    ‘18 2500 Cummins no cooling fan

    SouthTexan, Yep, everything looks right, fluids are good. I do have a dealership appointment for next week on the steering linkage recall so added this to the ticket. I started the truck yesterday and the fan cycled with the ac on. Strange though that for a good share of the summer- as long...

    ‘18 2500 Cummins no cooling fan

    16,000 miles on this thing and twice recently got hot. One 95 degree day and let it idle 4-5 minutes after it was warmed up. Jumped in and temp was iirc around 235 degrees. Got on the highway and a temp warning flashed and then within minutes the temps were back to around 194. Most...

    side steps, not running boards

    Okay, I put these on a couple weekends back. Easy install with the help of a friend. These are the n-fab nerf bars, I like the profile and the look. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    side steps, not running boards

    I was debating between the rkr system and the nerf bar system and I ordered a set of the bed access nerf bars this morning. I'll post pics when they're on. https://n-fab.com/nerf-step-system/2018/ram/2500 Should be in tomorrow and on the truck by the weekend. Thanks for turning me on to...

    What Else is In Your Garage

    yep, over 100,000 miles, engine has never been out and runs great. I just had the radiator re-cored and the rear axle completely rebuilt. Next is the 3sp auto transmission. I have a complete new exhaust system to hang on it also once it warms up. Picked up set of correct reproduction...

    What Else is In Your Garage

    Have been screwing around with 69 GTOs since ‘86 and 6bbl/6Pack cars since ‘02. Oh, and had a Yamy 225DX when I was a kid. Picked up a couple of Tri Zs in ‘17 to ride and maybe keep around for grandkids someday. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I do like the low profile of the n-fab, could do with solid step sides instead of the skeleton look though. Thanks!

    side steps, not running boards

    Looking to put steps on my '18 2500.. I'm tall and slide right in and out but my passengers have been bitching lol.. Anyone try the Carr's or Bully single steps? https://runningboardwarehouse.com/p/carr-hoop-ii-step/car-109771/...

    Just about to buy.. please help me confirm some things quickly... THX

    2018 2500s get Class V 2.5" receiver hitches. The reducer for a 2" hitch will be in a storage bin under a rear seat or in the glove box if its a new truck. Good luck with your purchase!

    Wheel Hop

    You absolutely can have wheel hop with a coil spring rear suspension. Curing it could take stiffer control arms, stiffer bushings, or maybe air bags. Maybe the racers on moparts dot com or dodgecharger dot com might be able to offer some suggestions. While I've been around the sport for 30+...

    What did you pay for your 2018 Laramie 2500?

    9-10k off the MSRP is probably going to be your best deal. I bought end of November. There were several dealers offering similarly deep discounts. Very few dealers had the 2500 long bed ctd with the options I wanted. The truck I decided on was in Golden, CO, west edge of Denver. Must-haves...
