It is great to be back. After my 2016 was wrecked, I decided to enjoy driving a Jeep Wrangler for awhile (great vehicle) but I found myself wanting to be back in a Ram again.

Searched and searched for a suitable 1500, but it seems no dealer in my area even orders them with 3.92 gears anymore. I refuse to have 3.21 in a truck.

So, I changed directions, and went for a 6.4 heavy duty. First gas 2500 I have ever owned, other 5 we're diesel. Got a great deal, and 100% trade in on the Jeep for what I paid for it a year ago.

She's a 2018 Harvest Edition, 6.4 in International Harvester red, 4x4. So good to be back!

Nice truck!

Interesting that your running boards only have 2 mounts

I see you already mounted an Amp Bedstep. I have one and absolutely "LOVE" it. So does the short wife and kids. Congrats.

Awesome truck !!! Welcome back [emoji16]

Looks like your step is missing a center mount ??

So what Differential gears did you end up with ?

The steps are factory, and I thought 2 mounts were weird too. I plan on ordering a set of wheel to wheel boards, so won't be keeping these anyhow.

It has the 3.73 gears, which works fine for me. I no longer tow, and primarily just load up the bed.

Welcome back. It's hard to live without a truck once you have had one. Very nice 2500. Enjoy.
