Has anyone replaced the washer reservoir on the 2017 Ram 2500. Thanks Eddie

When you say "Mint Oil"--exactly what did you buy. I am in Mexico so locating something usefull might be an issue. Brand name would be useful then I can search. Thanks

Just checked with storage facility and they have no reliable access to power for a battery tender BUT they said if I remove both batteries they would put them in their shop and I can attach a tender to them there. So, with these new razzle dazzle vehickles with all them computers—what will...

I am going to be storing my 2017 for 8 weeks Out doors in a warm climate. What do I do abotu the batteries. Will they be dead after 8 weeks and if so what problems will I encounter after a re-charge. If I disconnect both batteries--what happens after start up 8 weeks later. I MIGHT be...

It has been close to two weeks on the road with the new 2017 -2500 and all is going exceedingly well. I am astounded at the smooth, quiet ride and am even more impressed now that we are towing "The Load!" As you all predicted, the difference between by '97 5 speed stick and the new 2017 with...

This is my 97 Ram and sailboat 13,400 as pictured approx 950 lb TW ---Looks like it could use a bit more EQ Spring Tension. Will try for 1100 on new trailer next week. Eddie

Thanks to all! Will post again after I hear from Blue Ox and also after I load the trailer and hit the road. Just for the record, with my old trailaer---a duplicate of the new one, I was running just under 1000 lb TW and after tens of thousands of miles have never had a problem with sway. I...

They dont seem to know. The recommend comes from the mfg of the Hitch set up----Blue OX. I guess I could give them a shout. Eddie

That's what I was planning to do, unless someone can give me a good reason to change. Perhaps the recommendation assumes NO EQUALIZER hitch. I plan on 1000lb of tongue weight with a level trailer. It is a CLASS V Hitch 2 1/2 in shank---no reducer. Blue Oz set up all the way. Your thoughts Oz? Eddie

Actually I dont rightly know. The truck is new to me and I am still in the process of discovering just what I have. Eddie

This question concerns a 2017 Ram 2500 68RFE auto Trans, 3,42 Rear, 4wheel drive LT285/60R20E DWL On/Off Road Tires and the Offroad Package. The trailer is a 2 axle boat trailer with 4 wheel electric over hydraulic DISC brakes---total weight approx 13,000lb. Normal procedure is to level...

The truck is 2017----the tires are LT285/60 R20E DWL On/Off Road tires. It is certainly quiet and comfortable. I know what you mean about not noticing speed. It acellerates quite nicely when I need to pass. The only unknown at present is the HEAVY load--which is why I chose this one. I will...

Ozzie, I am looking forward to this. I was very happy with the way my 07 5 speed handled my load. This has got to be at least the same thing! Eddie

At 1750 RPM in 5th what speed were you going up that hill pulling all that weight? And then what speed in 6th at the same rpm. Just curious. In a recent experience with my 97 5Speed----Towing my 14,000 lb boat, I regularly cruised on the flat in 5th at 60 MPH, until one day the 5th...
