    Canvas Camper Shell, Bestop or Softopper??

    Ive had the SoftTopper for about 10 years and it still looks good. I've seen the BestTop close up in person and I think the SoftTopper is much better. Just one opinion for ya.

    G56 clutch won’t disengage

    I had similar symptoms when my factory hydraulics went out at 50k miles. In my case it was the slave cylinder and there was a few drops of fluid on the bottom of the bell housing. Replaced the master and slave assembly and its been good so far. Gary's test above would be a good idea.

    ditto - stays on if the trailer is still hooked up.

    Decked Bed Drawers

    They are holding up well so far. I keep my tools in one drawer and my fishing gear in the other. It all stays dry. I also like the corner buckets for storing things like tire chains. I have no complaints at all - its a great solution for storing all the items I want to have with me while still...

    I've had mine about 2 years. I love it.

    How hard is it to remove the Laramie fender lips ?

    haha - To each their own... I think those tires look fine.

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    The REGEN indicator config is easy - it's either one or zero on the dial. Makes it simulate a "light" Here is a screen shot.

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    I was also Leary of that warning on my 2016 but I have used it for over a year with no ill-effect. I should mention that the DPF capacity has a lag - the value with continue to drop for up to a day after a regen. Not sure why but it does. As for your question about the EGT sensor, I went with...

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    CiscoEd, It was over a year ago - I read many forum posts and googled anything and everything on that very question. I figured out just enough to make it work but I am certainly no expert. I found a custom PID for the torque app on a forum thread (not sure where) and basically copied the...

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    DPF Capacity is a "User-Defined PID" see screen shots for the specific settings... EGT is using one of the included PID's "Exhaust gas temperature bank 1, sensor 3" (I went with this sensor because it was consistently giving me the highest readings) REGEN is using one of the included PID's...

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    Yes, That displays regen status - Orange=active Last time I was paying attention to it, the regen lasted 25 minutes - much longer than the EVIC would have you believe. My setup is fairly simple compared to others I've seen but that's the nice thing about the app, you can customize it to your...

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    I realize this question was not directed at me and I'm not sure what others are using but I was told that the Bluetooth wouldn't work with OBD Fusion app - I bought wifi OBD adapter and it works great. That was over a year ago so things may have changed. Mine is called a ELM-327

    “New” 2018 2500 Ram. No way to monitor EGT & Regen

    I've been using the OBD Fusion App for over a year now and it works very well. My setup is very simple and basically just monitors regen status. I've observed that the EVIC message has only ever come on a handful of times in 45k miles and it doesn't stay on more than a few minutes. Regen will...

    Can elevation affect clutch hydraulics?

    Thanks for the responses. Nukegm - 29 days in the shop is crazy! Gary - I'll try the test you suggested before I burp the system. I'll be watching closely to see if any air bubbles actually burp from the reservoir. I suppose its possible that a negligible amount of air in the system that is...

    G56 not shifting when Hot

    I'm running stock fluid and cooling. Since posting here I've realized that in my case it has something to do with elevation which is really weird. Only happens at higher elevations (hot or cool)

    Can elevation affect clutch hydraulics?

    Three times since May I have been up at high elevations and noticed that my clutch is failing only to have it return to perfect working order when I return to sea level. At first I thought it was heat related because I was pulling my 8k bumper trailer up the passes and while I’m sure heat is a...

    G56 not shifting when Hot

    “My issue with my G56 I am referring to is that when I have been driving the truck for a length of time everything gets hot and it then gets hard, almost impossible to shift into 2nd at a stop without feeling like the shifter is going to snap. Highway driving, holding power and shifting when...

    Ordering new work truck

    Auxillary power switches on dash. They are only 140 bucks and cannot be added later - makes it really easy to add an accessory later. Opt for the mid level radio - it gets you hands free via bluetooth. I believe its called Uconnect 3.0 and it does NOT have a stupid touch screen like the 5.0...

    An aberration of sorts.

    Saw this truck today while driving through Alameda, CA. I'm sure it is a custom mod and I wonder if there is any practical use for it other than bragging rights on who has the longest truck... Thought maybe some others here would get a kick out of seeing it. The sticker on the bumper seems to...

    Quality dash mat for a '16?

    I haven’t used any of the Velcro and it seems fine. I ordered it from Geno’s garage.
