Your truck is pretty much identical to mine except I have the 2500. Nice rig!!!!! And welcome to the forum.

Crispyboy hit the nail on the head. Short oil change intervals... my first one came on at 2100 miles. hope it does't keep doing that! And yes, I use Diesel, not "GAS" - its just a general term. My milrage is actually better than the ram 1500 4. 7L that I had. it got 10-11 back and forth to...

I love my 2012 2500. There are so many negative articles and comments out there though that will deter you from buying one. bottom line is... treat your truck right and you shouldn't have many issues. My only problem was a bad serpentine belt tensioner at 1,000 miles. The 12's have great break...

I don't know about the oil due reset, but you should get a 2013. Im sick of hearing about all the problems with the 2012's... . feel like it's just a matter of time before my truck explodes or something. So far my 2012 runs great, but I get 13. 5 avg mileage, and had my serpintime belt tensioner...

Nice Bear! I shot one a couple years ago that dropped, made noise - then stopped making noise and ran off into a deeply wooded ravine. I could not find him. Glad your son was able to get another shot off. Black bears are known for being able to run for a mile or two after being shot through the...

Is there a lift kit on it, or is it stock? What type 5th wheel do you have? Maybe try to put some weights wherever you have room in the bed, to get the end to sink a little...

In reference to the load knocking coming from the radiator area. I had a very similar issue that sounded like metal clanging together when the truck was at idle, and it got worse in reverse. Tured out to be a bad serpintine belt tensioner. My truck only had about 1,200 miles on it, and I had...

I want the deletes. I just can't afford it at the moment. I think there should be a recall on the 2012's and update them to run like th 13's will. That is, IF they work as well as advertised.

Ok, so I'll be buying a camper soon. However, I really don't know what the advantages are of having a 5th wheel vice a tow along. I've never had too much of a problem with a tow along camper, but I've never towed a 5th. Is there any advantages in towing a 5th? Personally I thought I would stay...

Likewise, If I didn't own a Diesel Ram Truck I would never own a 5th Wheel :)

No it's not harsh, and I understand why you would think that soley based on the original post. I can't help where I live in relation to where I work, though I could take the long scenic route around the Island to get there... I bought this truck with the forethought of future needs. So, in...

Glad somebody gets to work it like it should be. I don't have the opportunity to drive the truck "like it should be" most of the time because I'm in the Military, and I can't just take off any ole weekend. I will be towing my wifes car across to Florida in Feb, at which point I will be buying a...

I'm a bit confused at the fact that the oil change message seems to come on randomly. What makes our trucks show "Oil Change Needed" at 2,162 miles, or 3,278 miles... . it seems too random. Does it have some sort of oil sensor? Might be a stupid question but I'm new to diesels. I asked the shop...

I called the dealer this morning, and they said that the first oil change is always really early. I booked an appointment for Wednesday.

Some city, some highway, but mostly county roads 50 and slower 6 miles one way to work. I've only towed once with it so far.

So, today when I started my truck, a message popped up that said I need to change the oil. My rig only has 2,162 miles on it... . Gonna have to ask the dealer about that one!

I'd love to park it in the garage, but I have the wifes car in there... . and the boat, and the kids toys... Anyway - I just wasnt' sure if the block heater was actually working, becuase I had a hard time getting it plugged into the block. It didnt seem to want to go in allthe way, but I was...

I plugged in my block heater cord for the first time, and put external power to it and left it over night. In the morning when I went out I expected my truck to be fairly warm. I checked the coolant temp and it was sitting at 109 deg F. There wasn't really any warm air coming out of the vents...

Anyone know what the coolant temp should be after the block heater has been plugged in for a bit. I installed my cord yesterday, and left it plugged in all night. When I went out to my truck in the morning and checked my coolant temp it was at 109 degrees F. Not really any warm air coming out...

Mine hasn't budged from 13. 4 to 13. 6 in 2 weeks. No more, no less. I drive 5. 5 miles to work every day. when I haul on the highway I see around 14. 5 mpg, and doing 55 with CC on, and on flat road I see pert near 20mpg on the overhead... . and that doesn't last long at all. 2012 Ram 2500...
