    Amp Research BedStep2 on 2014 Dually?

    There is another option for side steps on a dually...I went through this issue going from a truck with full length running boards to a Longhorn with factory running boards. Luverne makes a side step that is retractable and very strong called Step-Up. Like the Amp step it is not very cheap but I...

    Alcoa rims on a DRW 3500

    I posted back in 2011 about this very issue with my early production Longhorn. The inside of the alcoa alum wheel is a very rough "turned" surface and would look terrible if visible. After 22k mostly heavy towing miles my rear tires have worn very fast and flat...not uneven at all. The fronts...

    Longhorn seat issue

    moparguy, I haven't tried anything else since my last post back in February because the hairdryer trick worked that one time for the remainder of the winter and to date still continues to work... however I do expect the "spew" to reappear once our snow does. If you do a google search on...

    Disable Integrated Brake Controller

    I didn't care for the lack of performance from my 11 brake controller so I bypassed it as well... it's really not that hard and all the factory parts and computer programming stay in place and intact... no need to delete anything. Crath

    2013 oil filter change

    From the standpoint of an experienced professional mechanic this is a good idea... however many readers are not professional mechanics and should be aware that this practice has risks for those that don't know what to look for or have detail oriented work practices which would ensure proper...

    2013 oil filter change

    The max oil change interval on the 13's is now 15K, but like any other interval that depends on the type of driving (duty cycle). The oil filter location was brought up at the rally and the Cummins guys addressed it by saying it was a sticking point that neither Ram or Cummins wanted to...

    Fuel filters on 2013.5

    I was wondering the same thing about the lack of an answer from the Ram folks at the TDR gtg, then it dawned on me as to why they didn't really provide an answer and why anyone would put that that filter in front of a newly designed 5/3 micron filter. Capless fuel filler! I don't care how good...

    Placement of Brake Controller in 2012 2500

    I don't have any worries about a pet bouncing around... lol... but in reality I rarely even look down at the controller while I am towing my fifth wheel. Braking is so predictable with it that once I set it initially I can feel how well the trailer is braking every time I step on the pedal and...

    Placement of Brake Controller in 2012 2500

    Took some pics of my maxbrake install location for another member... in case anyone else is curious. This location works great for me and the controller is mounted with adhesive velcro so if I need to remove it nothing has been damaged. Crath

    Placement of Brake Controller in 2012 2500

    I didn't have anything disabled... quite the opposite. I followed instructions from another post here(which I can't seem to find) which still powers up the factory controller but doesn't allow it to recieve or send brake signals which in turn keeps any messages from showing up on the EVIC. I am...

    Placement of Brake Controller in 2012 2500

    I used my factory 2011 controller for the first year towing my 5th wheel before I finally said enough and install the maxbrake from my previos truck. I don't have any firsthand knowledge of the 2012 controller but I can tell you that the maxbrake does make the truck and trailer feel like they...

    Milage sucks

    Normally I wouldn't post to a thread like this as there doesn't seem to be much we can do about the mileage of our 4th Gen trucks but in light of the responses I feel compelled to go back in history. I am far from rich and I dislike my mileage as much as anyone out there and can't help but...

    MY 2013 3500 Build status?

    I visited one of the larger dealers in eastern ND about a week ago and saw 2012's everywhere but not a 13 in sight. Maybe the plant goes through some sort of shutdown during this time of year... the reason I say that is when I ordered my 11, I ordered it in Jan 2011 and it didn't arrive until...

    Thinking about a DRW vs SRW

    You guys are much braver than I... the last thing I want is to get into a drive-thru with cars behind me and find out I might not fit or a curve is too tight. I value my mirrors, fenders, and expensive aluminum rims way too much when I can just use the parking lot.

    Thinking about a DRW vs SRW

    I agree with the other post on here... I love my DRW and can't imagine ever going back to a SRW truck. I have owned 4 different slide in campers over the years starting with a 1500lb pop-up to the last one a 12' Caribou w/slide that scaled at 5000lbs (what a beast that was). Although I could...

    Longhorn seat issue

    I used Lexol conditioner on my first test patch... Update... Last night I used the hair dryer on the white residue and it disappeared like frost on a windshield. From what I have read, spew melts and soaks back into the leather when heated so at least it's not mold. Unfortunately I also read...

    Longhorn seat issue

    I can't imagine the residue could be mold unless mold likes winter temps here in ND. I am going to do some experiments tonight with a blow dryer. From what I have read spew is supposed to melt when heated... that should tell me whether or not it is mold. I also have some Skidmore cream I am...

    Longhorn seat issue

    Thank you for the replies so far... I have used Lexol for many years on many leather products with success and have tried a test patch with mixed results. The biggest difference between "longhorn" leather seats and "laramie" leather seats seems to be the surface of the leather itself. On most...

    Longhorn seat issue

    I posted 3 pics of my 2011 longhorn seats (hopefully they downloaded ok) that have developed a white residue over every leather surface in the truck to include the leather on the door panels. I have been doing some research on this and I have found that this residue is called (spew) or (spue)...
