2017 Longhorn; all the bells and whistles and yes a Cummins.

I have a 2017 Cummins with a 68rfe transmission. I am pulling a 5th wheel and total weight of both is 23675 lb. I bought the truck never thinking I would own a 5th wheel but life has its turns. Here is my question, last week the weather was very warm and my Tran temp went to 217, is that too high...

Wow, if I had seen 10 at low idle I would be turning it off and calling wrecker. Thank you for your response.

This is my first diesel, a 2017 Longhorn 6.7, and my question is what is considered normal oil pressure. The truck has just barely over 8,000 miles never pulled anything yet. The engine temp seems normal at 190-195 and engine oil temp 198-201 has never been over 203. While idling it shows 30-35...

I want to lower the tire pressure in my rear tires, 2017 2500 Longhorn to improve to ride, at least some. Can the TPMS be reset to a lower pressure to keep the warning light off.

How long is long enough. I run my 6.7 until the water temp, oil temp and transmission temp all reach maximum and usually run for a few more miles. I only drive my Ram maybe once every couple of weeks so I don’t use it for local trips. I make a point to drive round trip 40-50 highway miles every...

Did you have you show a picture with a Ford hauling a Ram.

It is hard in my area to find a diesel, 1 or 2 that doesn’t show 5% biodiesel. Until there are no choices I will not run anything greater than 5% bio. Do they even have a non-bio diesel in the marketplace. I have so far only used Quik Trip diesel. I only run the top tier gas in my wife’s jeep...

I drive a 2017 Longhorn and this is my first diesel. When I rode motorcycles I would keep a battery tender on my motorcycle which always gave me a charged better and longer battery life. My Ram may sit for two weeks or longer before being driven. With there being two batteries my questions are...

Where I normally fuel up I don’t have to worry about fuel grade, they carry the recommended fuel for my 2017 Ram, however; I am traveling out of state and can only find fuel labeled #2. Can this fuel be used in my Cummins without problems? Also, what brand of DEF is the one most people like?

I read in the manual about not letting the diesel idle for extended periods as it will cool down and not burn all if the fuel causing varnishing. When we travel we sometimes take or dogs and while they can stay warm in the winter in the truck the summer is my concern. I would like to leave the...

Thank you, your response will prove to be very helpful. I will try this tomorrow and see what improvements are made. I didn’t realize all of the benefits of using EB along with toe/haul. Again thanks

Thanks I will

I just purchased my first diesel, a 2017 Longhorn 2500 automatic I don’t know the transmission type, I love the truck. Not being familiar with the characteristics of the 6.7 I have two questions: 1. When driving to work approximately 7 miles one way the transmission seems to upshift very fast...

Yea, I guess there’s no way of knowing when the FOBs are produced they could have been sitting for a year or two before going into service. Thanks for your help
