    How to disconnect the stupid seat belt dinger

    I go thru two cattle gates about 200 yards apart that I must jump out to open and shut each before I get out to main road The ding is a pain in the butt.

    2015 Ram 5500 with 4.88s - thinking of going to 4.44 or 4.10

    You're not really asking a question, just kinda showing us what you got. It is a tough problem having bought too much truck. My sympathies...

    2016 3500 Error Code

    Yesterday my 2016 Ram Longhorn Cummins threw an error code of 218F. This is according to the diagnostic that a guy at Autozone got on his diagnostic device plugged into my truck. He gave me a printout of the code. I then stopped by the Ram dealer in Tallahassee, Florida this morning who looked...

    To Buy or Not to Buy

    I bought a 2016 Ram Long Horn, long bed, SRW, Aisin in March 2016 and really like it. But, I continue to drive my 96 2500 diesel auto everyday. Something about those 12 valves.

    2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission Sell or Not to Sell?

    I also had to get rid of a truck when I bought my new 2016 Ram last spring. Sold off my 96 CTD 5 speed manual 4x4 with less than 150,000 miles on it. Sold the same day I listed it on Craig'slist. I did keep my other 96 12 valve with a built auto.

    1st Oil Change

    I know there's been lots posted about the first oil change, but thought I would add my experience. The filter was on *****-tight, but 4 busted knuckles later I got it off. The drain plug was easy getting off; I replaced it with one of those easy-drain nipple plugs with the lever to open. I've...

    Blackstone tour and sample

    Great idea on the stock pick! I think Bernie Madoff used to specialize in companies like Amzoil.

    RamBox...what's the general consensus?

    Looks like a lot of over-priced Chinese plastic. Okay if you don't use your truck like a truck.

    Trailer Brakes

    Not to sound flip, but, your trailer manufacturer should be able to tell you or at least the axle manufacturer. Of course you'll need make, model numbers and that kind of thing.
