    Seriously cracked panhard rod mount

    Hi all, I'm not a regular contributor but hoping you may be able to help me nonetheless. I’m an Aussie who bought a 2014 Ram 3500 Cummins Aisin Megacab in the US and imported it into Australia through a right hand drive conversion company. I’ve just discovered that the panhard rod mount on my...

    Thought I'd grown up ...

    Until I got this truck I've been driving full time 4wds or front drive VWs for the last 10 years. So we had the first rainy day for some weeks. Roads greasy, quiet evening with no-one around, on my own in the car, glance around .... traction control OFF ....coming off a roundabout ... pedal...

    Thuren - is it worth $700 extra for King shocks over Fox 2.0s?

    That's the price differential (net of freight) Thuren is quoting. I'm looking for more comfort, towing a 10k TT bumper pull and with a moderate load in the bed, on backcountry bad bitumen and dirt roads. Is it worth it? They're saying I'll get personalized design on the Kings, but what...

    Help! I can't find the fuse for right turn signals

    I installed a different trailer connector and must have messed up, because now the front and rear right turn signals are out. I'll reverse my modifications in the morning, but in addition I want to check the fuse and can't find it!! According to the manual fuse 81 is the turn signals for...

    Is mirror control reversed (mirrored?) when mirrors flipped up

    Hi I just discovered that when the mirrors are flipped up on my truck, 'up' on the switch moves the mirror down, 'left' moves it right, etc. I assumed it was a glitch in the RHD conversion but the conversion company says it comes that way from factory. Is this right? Cheers

    Seeking recommendations on suspension upgrade for back-country TT touring

    Hi all, OK, there are a million posts here about suspension upgrades, but I'm getting confused by all the choices, and it's not always clear where the author is coming from - some folk are into off-road racing, others heavy hauling. I thought if I set out our needs, some like-minded experts...

    How/where do you carry your second spare?

    Hi all, For remote travel in this sunburnt country it's smart to carry a second spare. Puts off the dreaded moment when you have to fish out the tyre levers and bead breaker. I'm assuming some of you do the same. Where/how to you carry it and anchor it in the bed? Do you have a hoist or...

    Can you please post photos of truck racks on a megacab with ramboxes?

    Hi all, I'm looking at getting a truck rack made for my 2014 3500 Megacab with ramboxes. None available off the shelf here in Oz. I'm hoping to still be able to install a tonneau. I'd be grateful if folk could post photos - both the overall rack and also close-ups of where and how it's...

    Can you please post photos of the 'full set of manuals' you can order online?

    Hi all, Odd request, I know. The truck comes with a 'User Guide' and manuals on disc. But the first purchaser can go onto the website and order what people call the full set of hardcopy manuals, which they say makes a pile about 6" thick. Can someone please take a photo of these for me for a...

    Seat easy-exit function stopped working

    Evening/morning all, I have the 'easy exit on engine off' (forget the precise words) setting turned on, on my sig truck - so that the drivers' seat powers back a bit when you switch off. Small but convenient feature for my well-fed bulk. Last week it stopped working. All the seat manual...

    Can my truck manage this tow without mods?

    Now tell me honestly. I know the CTD is pretty powerful, but I'm really worried that I might be overstraining it ... Perhaps I really need duallies, lower diffs, a tuner? :) It's a 14' (but 4 berth!) offroad van, GVWR 1600kg (3500 lb) bought to be towed by my father in law's Nissan Pathfinder.

    Snorkel on newer machines

    Hi, Snorkels are a common addition for outback travel in Oz, partly for engine protection when wading (rarely a good idea, but occasionally a necessity), but mostly to get the air intake up above the self-generated dust when travelling on our infamous 'bulldust' roads. I know our trucks now...

    What would you recommend as PID alarm set points?

    Hi, I have an Edge Insight CTS. My truck is stock and will stay that way. The Edge lets me set 'alarm points' for each PID, at which the device will beep to get my attention. Can some of our more experienced or technical readers recommend what values I should set for the most important...

    How do you set up your bed for remote travel bumper pull?

    (Posting in the right forum, this time.) Hi all. For those that bumper pull, especially in remote areas, how do you have your bed set up? Obviously the way one will setup for a 5er is very different, but I'll be doing a bumper pull so have the full bed free. I'm especially interested in...

    Archived How is your bed set up for remote travel (with pics)?

    Whoops, sorry, posted in wrong place. Mods can you delete?

    Which lights are the day running lights?

    I see from other posts that it's possible to turn on DRL with the dealer tools, or that they come turned on in Canada. But which lights are they, on a 2014 Laramie? Fog lights, turn signals, or something else? Can someone who has DRL activated on a 2014 Laramie, please post a photo? I'm...

    What alarm settings, on what PIDs, for an Edge Insight?

    Hi all, Well I've got my Edge Insight and in a week will have a truck to put it in. I wonder if some of you who have experience using one, would be willing to post a list of your recommended alarm settings for critical PIDs? Unless there's an official list out there somewhere - but I...

    Really really basic question - "3500" what?

    OK, so the wife asked where the model name comes from. Ie. what does the "3500" signify? I assume there's some parallel between this "3500" and the "350" in the Ford F350 model name. Is it payload? I see my SRW payload is about 4200 pounds which is kinda-sorta the same, maybe. Also, while I'm...

    Tapping high beam feed on a 2014?

    Hi, I will be installing additional driving lights, and want to switch them to only come on with high beams. Normally I would tap into the highbeam wire at the back of one light, use this as one leg of the coil circuit in the spotlight relay, and run the other leg of that circuit to earth...

    Are you happy with your CHR-588 Lockpick?

    Hi, I see from some posts that some of us are unhappy with either the product or the manufacturer. Is this universal, or have some of us installed the latest Lockpick successfully/gotten good service with any issues? I'm mostly after the multiple camera feature. Navigation or video...
