    Toyo AT III 285/65R18 on OEM 18's

    The OEM Transforce tires are done at 14k on my 19'.... Time for new shoes. I've run Toyo Open Country AT for years... Looking at the latest AT III 285/65R18 to replace the factory 275/70R18's. The truck is leveled. Was looking at wheels also but it's almost dizzying trying to figure it as the...

    Chemical smell from heater vents

    Well, Been getting chilly here so I've been using the heater but after a few minutes a weird chemical like smell permeates the cabin and if you leave it on it gets stronger to the point that you have to shut it off and open the windows, Eyes and nose burn slightly. Something is outgassing or...

    I think my CP4 has started to eat itself....

    Decided to do my fuel filters early today... EVIC said I had 20% of life left on them, I'm at 12,000 miles as of now. Started with the rear chassis mounted fuel/water separator... Drained it first, Not a bit of water or debris in the jar, When I got it unscrewed and the filter out I noticed...

    Rear diff cover options for 2019 3500?

    It's time for me to do the diff fluids, I figured I'd look around and see what the offerings are for aftermarket covers. For the life of me I can not find a rear cover... Is it a AAM 12". I know I now have to use a friction modifier for the LSD as it's no longer a Torsen type. Is my front still...

    Had VB6 and W03 recalls performed today...

    Just picked the truck up and have yet to really drive it, They did the transmission recall and the "engine calibration" recall. My ECM was flashed from 52371931AF to 52371931AI. The transmission recall is more than a separator plate... It's also a valve body and 6qts of fluid from what my...

    Code P203E / Service DEF System message

    Driving home and the EVIC says to service the DEF system. Checked the code..... P203E, Reductant Level Sensor Circuit Intermittent / Erratic. Oddly today is when I filled the DEF tank with close near 5 gallons of fresh DEF. I wanted to use up as much stuff in the tank before I filled it up...

    Rear bumper taco'd at 1.5mph?

    Backing my 2019 3500 into a parking spot today and bumped a sign post at (I"M NOT KIDDING) a mile and a half an hour and barely kissed it. Well, It bent my rear bumper like a taco and then it kissed the stupid duck-bill flared tailgate lip. Give me a break FCA, You call this "Heavy Duty"? I...

    2019-20 Ram 2500 and 3500 truck bed step recall

    Got wind of this today... Sasically says the optional bed step can snap off if you put too much side load on it. Must of made them out of pot metal. https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/20/ram-2500-3500-pickups-recalled-faulty-bed-step/

    Saw this gem for sale..... 2001 with 34k miles!!!!!

    2001 3500 Laramie SLT DRW with 34k original miles!!! Man if this Corona stuff wasn't happening right now I'd be on this. I am not a dealer or a seller or affiliated in any way with this rig.... Just when you see a 19 year old truck with 34k on it for sale you stop for a moment. What's this have...

    Corona free time...

    Well... With work slowing and the kid home from school what's on the to do list. I did the first oil change on the new rig right at 5000 miles, Amsoil synth and EAO80 Filter. Didn't spill a drop, I got the filter plug tool from Geno's and it made it a breeze. Put my one-touch oil drain valve in...

    Always been an Amsoil EA oil filter guy.... Anything better ?

    Since 2005 I've been filling my CTD powered RAM trucks with Amsoil Heavy Duty Diesel synthetic oil and using their EAO80 filter. Fast forward 15 years and 4 CTD trucks later... I'm still keen on the Amsoil oil BUT.... is there a better filter or should I stick with what's worked for the past 15...

    Speed Limiter

    Just discovered that my 19' is speed limited at 102mph.... Not like I need it any faster but they could have rounded it off at 105.... just sayin'. :cool:

    Tired of fueling up every 10 days!

    This new 2019 3500 fuel tank drives me nuts. My 06' would take close near 33 gallons of fuel once the low fuel message appeared.. Now with my new 19', once the low fuel message appears I can only get 26 gallons in the tank. I don't let it get down past a 1/4 of a tank so....... I'm finding...

    FYI on the 2019 OEM Power Running boards

    After having put 3 sets of AMP Research power running boards on my previous RAM's I decided to add in the optional OEM power running boards when I ordered my current rig for an extra $995. Well after 3 months now I can safely say..... They suck. They deploy slowly.... Half the speed of the...

    FCA Recall W03

    Just got notice from my Uconnect app that there is a new recall, Checked my VIN also with FCA's website which shows my truck is in it. FCA says: In certain circumstances, a build up of pressure and heat inside the transmission may result in transmission fluid being expelled from the dipstick...

    What's up with this DPF % gauge on my 2019

    So... After checking my DPF capacity % gauge on the center cluster off and on for the past 2000 miles it has always shown 0% of being full but twice now I have smelled it doing a regen, When I smelled it I checked the display and it said it was in regen. Now with 2200 miles on the odo I...

    2019 3500 Two-piece driveshaft...

    Hmmm, When I was underneath my new 2019 3500 I noticed that it has a two-piece driveshaft like my old 2006 2500 MC had. My old 2018 2500 MC had a one piece aluminum shaft in it. I remember years back when my 2006 had eaten it's carrier bearing I ditched the 2 piece shaft for the newer 4th gen...

    CP4.2 Owners Club

    Well, There's a few of us here with our 2019 Ram Cummins Heavy Duty CP4.2 pumped 6.7 engines so... We should have a "club"... Somewhere we can reference back to for all and everything CP4.2 related here on TDR.

    2019 Baseball bat gear selector

    Man, This thing is about 3" too long. I'm thinking about ordering one from the parts department and seeing what's needed to be done to shorten it up from the handle down. The 2018's shifter had some bends and offsets... The 2019's are straight as an arrow... Can't be that hard to cut it down...

    Today is the day my 2019 3500 custom ordered truck arrives!!!

    Ordered on July 9th: 2019 3500 SRW MegaCab Laramie LO 6.7 4x4. I went with pretty much every option available except for the rear air suspension. I did go with the RamBox delete as well as sunroof delete. It landed at the dealership on September 20th BUT it was caught up in a recall where...
