Marriage is not the same for a guy as it is for a women. As a guy you will have expectations that will differ from your partner. However, if you want to really enjoy & fulfill your marriage with your wife over time, pursue really getting to know her as the person she is and will become...

After reading the reply posts up to 1/21/2010, I now realize I did not factor in the "towing" capability and/or restrictions. Yes, I do tow. It's a 36 ft travel trailer monster and no, it's not light. Seems after reading the posts that the 20" rim idea is not a good match for the type of...

I have a 2006 - 3500 Mega Ram Diesel 4x4 installed with the stock 265/70 R17 tires/rims. I want to know if I can replace the stock 17' rims with 20' rims and go just slightly wider in tire "width". I want the look of a larger rim/wheel but has anyone actually installed the rim size I am...

Overloads? O. K. Not to sound dumb but what do you mean "when the overloads are engaged"? Mark

Depends When I was in the market (Feb 2007) for a "new" left over 2006 Diesel Dodge Ram 4X4 "MEGA" Cab, I had the same question for the sales person. Aside from all the bells and whilstles one can buy in each unit, for me the difference between the 2500 & 3500 was 400 lbs. That difference is...

Good suggestion. Thanks

Bob are you for real? Nice kit but my wife will blow a gasket when we go over our first sand dune @ 45 mph in our 30' travel Trailer. I'd hate to think what you paid for that bad boy set up. Thanks for the suggestion.

Anyone have any suggestions on a specfic lift kit or components for a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab "diesel"? I want to go no higher than 4"-6" and will be towing a 30 foot travel trailer. Anyone actually install a system that can give me some purchase suggestions or considerations in my...

In speaking with the parts department employee today, he tells me he has not been successful in obtaining an answer from Chrysler on my question in this thread. That was a week ago... ... ... ... . but said he would continue calling. I told him I'll check with my home office... ... Turbo Diesel...

The road I am actually driving on at the time exists. However, the display/NAV map shows green where a field once existed. What I'm saying is that the road I'm currently driving on was built a few years ago (as an example). I never knew about the "update" capabilities" of a factory installed...

I own a 2006 Diesel Dodge Ram 3500 with the factory installed navigational system. At times when the system is activated/in use, I notice the screen map shows me driving on grass (for lack of a better word), rather than the road that was built maybe 2 years ago. I figured I call my local...

MEGA Cab MPG I own a 2006 Diesel 3500 MEGA cab 4x4 with 8,000 miles right now and tow a 8,000lb. Travel Trailer. My experience with gas mileage and what effects my truck is the following. First, I saw a jump in gas milage after 6-7k in miles. Some have told me to wait till 10-15k before...

I drive a '06 Ram 3500 Diesel MEGA Cab. Purchased it new and now has 5k. Since day one, the transmission shifts going from 1st-2nd & sometimes 2nd-3rd, get hung up and kinda jump/bang into gear i. e. not smooth. The shifts will pause (hang up) if I am putting down the gas pedal - very...

I am trying to replace the stock horns with and aftermarket air horns. Is there a trick to removing the plug from the horn on my 2006 Ram 3500, Mega Cab Diesel ? It's hard to reach in and/or see close-up the connector. I know, it's pretty bad when I have to ask a question of such a minor...

I now own the Equilizer Hitch (12,000lb) system - best. I looked into the very, very expenensive Hansley WD system and after ordering the video and actually seeing the unit set up in person I said forget it. I also owned the chain type weight distribution hitch (Blue Ox), though never the Reese...
