    Suspension and Ride Quality

    If your willing to spend some doe on suspension upgrades, you can completely get rid of the front coil springs and rear leaf springs and go full air ride with a Kelderman air suspension. Every review I've heard has been glowingly positive. Of course the reduction of weight in your wallet may...

    Are You Missing Out?

    It's no longer the Wienermobile, now it's the Frankmobile, can't make this stuff up... :rolleyes: https://www.roadandtrack.com/news/a43929253/the-wienermobile-has-been-renamed-frankmobile/

    "Got diesel?" Is the nation running out?

    Fuel prices go up immediately when crude oil futures go up... and the crude oil hasn't even been pumped out of the ground yet. But when crude oil futures go down we have to "wait for the cheaper crude oil to get delivered and processed through the refineries" before prices at the pump even...

    "Got diesel?" Is the nation running out?

    Yep, Oil Companies have been CLOSING refineries in the US for several years now, not expanding. The "shortage" of crude due to the war and OPEC cutting back has little to no affect on the amount of refined products being produced domestically since current available refining capacity in the US...

    Genos oil drain valve finger touch ?

    I have the same plug, and have used it on other trucks with successes. However, I differ in that I never pull the plug to get the last tiny bit out, I figure there is way more oil still in the oil galleries, oil cooler, etc, that it doesn't really make a difference. Modern diesels have a...

    EGR Cooler/Valve Clean & CCV Filter Replace

    So by mileage, the RAM 3500 I bought a couple months ago should of had the EGR Cleaning and CCV Filter Replaced about 28,000 miles ago. I have no idea if it has been done... is there a quick way to tell if this service has been recently done, or is it by the time I dig into that far I might as...

    Oil fill

    Legally... unless the bypass filter causes the timing cover leak, the dealership/RAM can not deny warranty coverage. When a company tries to claim warranty is void due to a "owner modification" that isn't causing the issue/problem, they are counting on the customer to not know/be ignorant of...

    need new tires

    Driving style/environment plays a lot into this as well. If one drives a lot of gravel roads, etc, it can chew up many HTs. Some of the comercial HTs (like the Cooper Discovered HT3s) suposidly have a tread compound to handle gravel better. As far as handling and braking, Tire Rack...

    need new tires

    Do you want HTs (Highway Tires) or do you want to change to AT (All Terrain Tires)? HTs generally handle better, stop faster, do better in the rain on pavement and are quieter than AT tires, while ATs are nosier, sometimes don't last as long, and trade pavement handling / braking (and a bit of...

    2012 3500 Steering Improments

    @Topzide, I've heard nothing but good results from the Thuren alignment specs. I've already downloaded and printed the spec sheet to take to the alignment shop... now I just need to find a way to escape from work for an afternoon to get it done...

    2012 3500 Steering Improments

    Thanks for the advice, I feel like a "newbie" again with my RAM 3500, spent the last 15 years with my F350 and know it inside and out... working on getting there with the RAM but will take a while. Agree that I'll likely never get the steering to feel the same as the F350, but hoping to get...

    Good point, I found out there is an open recall on the truck, I'll have the alignment done at the same time.

    They aren't full Loaded Range E but close, and so far my loads/trailers haven't exceeded the ratings.

    2012 3500 Steering Improments

    In another recent thread about steering in a Gen 4.5, it was stated by a few the steering gear brace isn't useful on the Gen 4+... Anyone with actual experience with one on a Gen 4? I've been considering doing this and/or something else to tighten up the steering of my 2012 RAM 3500. Steering...
