    I'm a graph kind of guy, or maybe I'm just a simpler guy... :) Gas 2500 - 11.5" Gas 3500 SRW - 11.5" Gas 3500 DRW - 11.5" Diesel SO 2500 - 11.5" Diesel SO 3500 SRW - 11.5" Diesel HO 3500 SRW - 12.0" Diesel SO 3500 DRW - 11.5" Diesel HO 3500 DRW - 12.0"...

    2020+ OEM tire options Firestone Transforce HT VS. Firestone Destination A/T

    I don't understand why Ram sticks with these Firestones, I'll hand it to Ford for making their upper model Super Duties come with nice Michelins. An old boss of mine hauled hay for a living with his F250, truck ALWAYS had weight on it, Max GVWR I'd say 80% of the time, the rest was over... He...

    Sometimes the peace of mind knowing that there won't be any issue is worth the price.

    I’m always amazed at how de-tuned these engines are. A simple adjustment to fuel and air and these engines bump 75ft/lb torque and who knows the hp but 30 sounds good to me!

    To my understanding it doesn't actually hang lower than the differential, but extends outward like you said to catch air. Although I do agree about the hitting road debris and whatnot, definitely a downfall. I personally really like the way the aftermarket covers look, but the flat back doesn't...

    I plan to do the Banks Cover, have heard a lot of good things, and I like that it retains stock fluid capacity.

    Interesting.. I'm not doubting you, but did you actually take measurements of the axle? Maybe they do this to order a bunch of the same axle housings and save cost that way by just changing the R&P. I'm surprised to not see a cooling finned diff cover on the 3500 DRW HO.

    It's to my understanding you can only get the 12" rear diff on a Dually 3500 Max tow, read that on the Ram website and you'll notice it when you build a truck, but all 2500/3500SRW are 11.5. 2018 and lower (not sure how old back), with the Dually/H.O./Maxtow you got the 11.8 w/ the finned rear...

    Ah, yes my mistake. Yeah the route they take when they top the tank off two times.

    Well I decided I'm gonna have them do it... we shall see. i figured the truck is already there.. So does anyone know about the factory batteries if their AGM or not? I guess when I get the truck back I could see if theres caps on them or not to top them off and that will tell me. Definitely...

    Cummins goes to 1075 lb-ft

    I couldn't agree more, I think TFL needs a little more science to their test.. those Lie-o-meters are different on all trucks and I wished they monitored temps.. thats like one of the biggest factors on longevity of an engine, sure it can tow it fast but how long can it do that for? I also have...

    Yeah I kind of figured it was inevitable at some point after owning my 01. Hmm... I'm not second guessing my decision, they're gonna call me back in a little bit to discuss again. Maybe since its already there.

    Just got a call from the dealer.. really cool guys actually I have to say. Batteries tested OK apparently over 1100 Cranking amps apparently. The meat of the conversation was my oil leak. When crawling under the truck last month I noticed the front of the pan to be wet. They just called me...

    Maybe its something in the 18s..? I have a friend with a 2017 and I don't remember him ever complaining about starting issues. I have a friend with a 2016 and will try to get contact with him tomorrow, I wonder how he is making out.
