OK, need some advice here from you guys who know. Last week I borrowed a trailer from my brother to bring home a load of fertilizer. The trailer I borrowed has dual wheels. Before I left on my trip I checked the air pressure on the trailer tires and of course they needed air. I couldn't get...

Wanted to ask an electrical rv/truck question. I am considering replacing the worn out lead acid battery in my travel trailer with a lithium battery. The lithium batteries are getting to a price low enough to consider one. My new converter (Progressive Dynamics 9345) in the trailer has a mode...

Recently I had an interesting discussion with a guy I met at a gun range about Mopar brakes. We struck up a conversation about his Jeep Rubicon and found out he was a recently retired mechanic at a Jeep/Ram/Dodge dealer. I was telling him that my truck is going to finally need a set of brakes...

I finally broke down and decided to install a new radio with a wired backup camera and SiriusXM tuner. It was a bit of a job hunting down all the different components and the lack of detail on some of the installation had me scratching my head a few times. It ended up being an all day project...

My nephew has a 2018 cab & chassis Ram 3500 truck with a flat bed and a recessed gooseneck ball. I think the truck has a CM steel bed. He bought a fifth wheel camper that came with a B & W companion hitch which came off of a pickup truck. Is there a way to retrofit the existing hitch to work...

My brother owns a 2012 2500 truck and needs the large clamp on the air cleaner duct work. The smaller clamp is available from the dealer. In order to get the large clamp you have to order the entire ductwork according to the dealer parts counter. $$$ I cannot find a part number related to this...

Seeking some advice. I am on a family vacation and a CEL popped up yesterday. I was coming up a long grade and for the first time ever I had the accelerator pedal close to the floor. I noticed that the temperature gauge was quickly rising and towards the top of the grade I was losing power...

I have a question pertaining to the different levels of biodiesel. I understand it varies from B5 through B20. Can I put higher than B5 in my truck? A few years ago I had the Mopar supplemental fuel filter installed which sits next to the fuel tank. I am led to believe this supplemental...

I have always been a fan of Don Knotts. While perusing Youtube I stumbled on an old promotional video from 1965 with Don Knotts advertising Dodge trucks. I loved the line "These are the times that try men's souls". It is a long video but entertaining.

Hey all, I finally got around to a little job I have been meaning to do for awhile and that is installing some 20 watt work lights on the back of the truck. The job turned out to be successful as the little lights seem to put out a lot of light. This time of year I often have to work behind...

on the way home from a weekend camping trip I noticed that the truck was occasionally puffing out a cloud of black smoke. Engine runs smooth as always. The smoke cloud was random but would happen mostly when you would give slight throttle. There are no codes set. 2009 Ctd, efi live on stock...

I finally decided to upgrade my all around do everything and work commuter vehicle to a newer ride. The old ride was a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee with the high output 4.7 motor. The vehicle had 3.73 gears and would really scoot down the highway. I owned it 11 years to the day before I traded it...

Last year I put a EFI "tow tune" from Anarchy on my truck due to the soot from emissions taking out a second turbo. It seems that every 40k miles the truck wanted a new turbo. I am now thinking about their transmission tuning for the 68 RFE in my 2009 2500 truck. Is this a worth while expense...

Hey guys, My wandering truck has been wearing me out. Wife doesn't like to drive it. The truck has good ball joints. In 2018 I put on a Moog draglink and a new old stock Carli trackbar. Everything else seems tight. 88k miles on the odometer. I was trying to rule out the steering box - as the...
