    Rear tires wearing more than front?

    My rear tires wear faster than my fronts due to the weight when towing. If those towing miles are in hot weather or decent grades the tires doing the work will wear faster. Unloaded, the fronts take more abuse. That is my experience.

    Looking for new used truck . Lemon law?

    I wouldn’t buy a lemon law truck, if it couldn’t be fixed in time before that law was used, it is a very bad sign. Just my opinion

    Convenience group on Laramie.

    On main screen on center of dash, go to settings, safety and driving assistance, and unselect rain sensing auto wipers.

    Convenience group on Laramie.

    I prefer manual, I have them but switched it back to manual. Auto high beams act weird on curved roads, works good if road is perfectly straight though. Wipers, I don’t like them to come on too early especially with bug guts to smear around. Other gripe is I leave truck running when filling...

    New-to-me 2016. Have a question...

    I have the 17 with Aisin and it had the stamped sheet metal cover. I replaced it with a finned cover, but did not come with one from the factory.

    coolant and temp issue

    I would have left it running, the fan helps, but to keep the coolant flowing. When it sits it boils if it can’t keep moving and transferring the heat. You also want to let the turbo cool down too from what I understand.

    Opinion on heavy towing with brand new pickup

    Per the manual, and my memory, the engine is ready to go out of the gate. They suggest random speeds and no hot rodding for 300? Miles. From what I have read this it to break in drive train and gears. I had about 600 miles and have been all over the west with my 15,000 lbs toyhauler. I think...

    Ford owner looking at Rams...

    Well I had 44,000 trouble free miles out of my 13 Ford 6.7, my Ram 3500 is my first non Ford truck I have owned and my 3rd diesel so I am hoping to have a good run with this one too. I was Loyal to Ford until the price went through the roof and I shopped it this time and I love my Ram Mega Cab...

    Any owners of factory Auto Level rear air suspension on 3500 ?

    I only have normal height and Alternate height, which Alt lowers the back so my truck is level and the trailer isn't nose high. How do I turn it off when parked?

    Any owners of factory Auto Level rear air suspension on 3500 ?

    I only have a 3500 SRW, but I do have the factory air and I would buy it again. I tow a lot, the system works great and comes in handy.

    Ford owner looking at Rams...

    Yes, I have tried with it on and off. The exhaust brake works much better in tow haul so I use it all the time but I tried everything. The 6 speed in my 13 Ford shifted so much better, but that isn't the end of the world, just my only complaint.

    Ford owner looking at Rams...

    So for a die hard Ford guy, only owning Fords since I started driving 24 years ago I bought my first Ram 3500 SRW this year. From my research the known issues are weak water pumps that fail from 50-100,000 miles. I haven't seen anyone that really understands why they fail so early. Other issue...

    Trailer Lighting

    Did you happen to lock or unlock the truck 30-60 seconds before? That would activate the lights, otherwise they should not be on.
