    2013+ longhorn steering wheel swap

    Wanted to tap into people experience on different model years to see if anyone can help. My steering wheel/interior looks like this: What I would like to do, if possible is to upgrade my steering wheel to the newer look. In particular I'd like the plastic bezel covering the 3 spokes to look...

    Compatibility for severe duty fuel filter and combination oil filter

    On my 2012 I have installed the Mopar Severe Duty fuel filter that adds a frame mounted pre-filter and I wanted to report that the Mann Hummel PL250/1 works perfectly as an alternative. I also wanted to report that the Fleetguard LF9028 combination oil filter fits the 6.7 just fine: that's the...

    Just pulled the trigger on a Roll-N-Lock A-Series

    I've been looking for one since I saw it in person on a truck parked next to me at the track. After some research, I found out that they also have an A-Series cover that is full aluminium. I finally pulled the trigger on getting me one and since I was at it, I also picked up their cargo...

    The REAL Dieselgate lands on FCA & Cummins

    The first thread was not really about a "dieselgate" since it wasn't an accusation of lying or cheating; it's a simple a lawsuit between FCA and CMI on who should pay for a recall. On the other hand, this *could* be a real "dieselgate" ->...

    Added connector for battery tender

    Since there's no real practical reasons for me to commute is something that weight almost 7,000 lbs, the Ram sits in the garage most of the week waiting for a weekend trip at HD to pickup yard stuff or towing motorcycles to the race track. I started putting it on a battery tender to avoid...

    Installed Mopar severe duty tank ventilation system & filter

    I'll post this as well, just in case people don't check multiple forum. A few months back I run into a pamphlet from Mopar advertising a series of Sever Duty filters. I think they are from pre-2013 trucks, but in essence it includes a pre filter for fuel (similar to what the 2013+ have stock)...

    Did the dealer reset the oil change countdown?

    I recently had the truck at the local dealer to do the EGR cleanup due at 67.5 When I picked up the truck the "Perform Service" in the EVIC was still on so I asked the service advisor if he could reset it. The guy was obviously clueless since his question was "Have you recently changed...

    EGR cooler and valve cleaning in a California 2012

    If I read the diesel supplement right it sounds like the cleaning of the EGR cooler and valve required in the 67,500 miles of 54 months schedule is covered by the manufacturer for vehicle registered in California. Is it really the case? Can I just call up and schedule the EGR cleaning only and...

    Severe duty filters: fuel & tank ventilation

    My 2012 didn't come with the frame filter like the newer trucks. I recently learned (through TDR magazine) that Mopar has a series of severe duty accessories some years back which included a frame fuel filter and a kit to both relocate the tank ventilation and add a filter. Back when they came...

    2012 oil change interval

    After about 3,600 miles from the last oil change, EVIC is asking for a new one. In general I don't have any particular reason not to just obey (I guess I now have two old ladies that dictate my weekend plans)... In general I buy into the theory that the regeneration requirements (of both DPF...

    True or False: shell with compression boot rubs/scatch cab paint

    I'd like to get a shell for my 2500. I really don't care about something that is completely water tight but I really don't like to have the idea of an extra window between the cab and the shell. I went to a local shell dealer and he advised against the compression boot because allegedly it...

    A Ram owner moment...

    Interesting story that made my day. This morning I was my way to work through my usual route that takes some back roads from my house to the I-15 in an attempt to outsmart the rest of the commuter crowd. It has been "cold" lately and every morning the Ram takes its 20 seconds to warm up the...

    Just completed the 60K driveline fluids change: here's some tips

    The 2500 just turned the 60K and after some back and forth I decided to be the good car owner I am and replace driveline fluids (the 2 diffs, TC and 68RFE): I just picked it up some 5K miles ago and had no history from the PO. I found the 68RFE filter kit on Amazon ->...

    My first truck: 2012 Ram 2500 Longhorn

    Ehi guys, over the weekend my wife and I took delivery of a 2012 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn that we had shipped from Nebraska to California. I spend some time reading around here and looks like there's a lot of good information. I'm a long time BMW owner (my prior drive was X5 diesel...
