Found this article this morning. Are we looking at the end of our diesel trucks? The article does include RAM in the list. I’ve had a premonition that diesel would be heading out of our lives. It is one of the reasons I purchased my RAM when I did. Bruce...

After some 32,500 miles, I finally got rid of those awful Firestone tires my truck came with. i elected to go with my standby, Michelin. In this case, the tires are the new Defender LTX M/S in the stock LT 285/60-R20 in an E load range. My dealer gave me a competitive price, got tires with date...

We are about 2 weeks from getting a new trawler that is powered by a Cummins 6.7 QSB engine. This Cummins is the 480 hp version and out of curiosity, I went looking for the specs... Holy cow, this thing produces just shy of 1200 pounds feet of torque at about 1600 rpm! I hope the ZF transmission...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eJdI80O1Dlg Who knew that Germany has a thing for our Rams too? They apparently set a Guinness record for the largest parade of pickups... what a hoot! Bruce

One of the features I was looking forward to the most in my 2016 Ram 2500 was an updated Navigation system. The system in my 2010 F 150 pre-MyFord Touch was feeling pretty dated by the time I'd traded it in. Dated, but very functional. I had installed a Lockpick device in the Ford so that I...

I've been sitting around for most of the last 6 weeks with a broken foot. I'm finally allowed to drive again (short distances only!) and it's been 6 months and 8500 miles since I purchased the truck so, it is off to the dealer for a couple of issues and my first oil service. I purchased the...

A good friend of mine just purchased a gorgeous 2016 GMC Denali 2500. It is a truck I looked at before purchasing my Ram and although I have my reasons for wanting the Ram I understand why he likes this Denali. Aside from my really disliking the fender flare design on the new GMC's and not...

http://www.fuelly.com/car/ram/2500/2016/brucerbeard/423884 I've begun tracking my fuel mileage using Fuelly. It reports back exactly what you are getting for mileage along with the usual other quick numbers like total fuel used, cost per mile, average mileage etc. It's an awesome way to...

I'm curious if anyone here has used roof racks on their 4th generation Ram? When I discovered the RamBox option I had to have it knowing that my trusty TracRac's were history. We used the racks to carry ocean kayaks (17' long 35 and 50 pounds each) with us when camping. I figured that we...

Got my paper manuals today... Holy cow! No wonder I am having to work to master this trucks systems! It is one thing to read these in .pdf form and entirely another to see the actual books. Wow, Bruce

I'm guessing...not as accurate as I thought as we certainly didn't get wet last night!

Maybe someone here can help? When we are traveling, we frequently find ourselves midway along a route (using nav always) when we decide that we want to look for something, say a rest area. In my previous vehicle there was a category for "along route" whenever we were looking. That way you don't...

Had to drive into Boston yesterday from southern RI in late morning commuter traffic. This is something we thankfully have to do only a few times a year. We decided to take the Ram... I'm probably beginning to sound like a broken record but "who knew it would be this good"? Between the extra...

Just home with our new 2016 Ram 2500 Limited. A little over 2000 miles after leaving the dealer, a break in of 400 plus miles before towing and then into the hills of NC and Tennesee before heading home to RI. A careful check of fuel used vs miles impressed the hell out of me! The final 1000...

I'm confused, on some mornings this week, there has been a wait for the grid heater to warm up before the engine can start. This has happened at just 60 degrees out. We did drive some 900 plus miles yesterday and got in at about 1:30 am this morning but at 8:30 am I hit the start button and she...

Don't you love it when your brand new truck has its first issue? After a day spent towing our little 16' Airstream about 400 miles, I was feeling pretty happy with our new Ram! Now I understand why people love their diesels for towing! The sounds, the exhaust brake, the fuel mileage!!! We got...

Lots of research and lots of thought finally led to this... I'm stoked!

We pick up our new '16 this week and I'm reading everything I can find on the subject of owning a 6.7 Cummins. One thing I find lacking is advice about fuel brands or even where to purchase fuel. No recent Diesel engines in my history so I am out of the loop... I always purchase "Top Tier"...

I've used a Truxedo tonneau (roll-up) with decent results in the past but now I'm thinking about something different for my new, RamBox equipped, 2500 that I will be picking up next week. The factory tri-fold is not well represented online and I'm wondering who has seen one and can share their...

I am in the market for a 2500 truck. There are a few that I will be traveling to see in the next week or so but I'm wondering if the headroom in the various Ram models is more or less the same? I looked at a 1500 Longhorn (2016 model) recently and I found that the headroom in that model (with...
