https://www.hdrams.com/caught-2023-ram-2500-rebel-crew-cab-4x4/ All the test trucks caught in this article have a mirror design that matches what Ford - and more recently, GM - have had for a while. The Ford and GM mirror designs allow the arm to extend manually or electrically, while the Ram...

Just for giggles, I went into Build & Price, started with a 2022 Tradesman crew cab dually 4x4, and added every option it let me. MSRP: $78,485. For a Tradesman. :eek: Fully loaded Limited crew 4x4 dually: $94,965. I don't even have enough Monopoly money to buy that...

According to this article posted today by industry journal Automotive News (subscription may be required), the Ram HD trucks will receive another refresh of the 4th gen body in 2023, but will not receive an actual redesign until "around 2027". AN generally speaks in calendar years instead of...

Automotive News, the industry's leading trade publication, has updated their brand forecast charts for Ram, showing that 2023 (AN goes by calendar, not model year) will have a refresh update to the 5th gen Ram 1500, but also just a refresh for the Ram HD... meaning a continuation of the 4th gen...

Announced today (December 1 2020), the Ram 3500 with the HO Cummins has increased it torque output from 1000 lb-ft to 1075 lb-ft, besting Ford by 25. The gooseneck tow rating has increased in turn by a full ton from 35,100 pounds to 37,100. Cummins achieved the extra torque with increased...

The 2020 Ford numbers are in... 475 hp @ 2800, 1050 lb-ft @ 1600 hooked to their new 10-speed. Granted, the I-6 design has limitations, but this will certainly test whether FCA and Cummins are willing to test the limits of the 6.7 to keep up... and it will likely require a new transmission with...

In the 2020 product info, FCA announced the Ram HD crew cab long beds will offer a 50 gallon tank, besting Ford by 2 gallons and Chevy/GMC by 14. Definitely something that is needed in this class by Ram, especially when towing something heavy or traveling through areas low on gas stations.

The redesigned Ram 1500 now uses an electric parking brake, so there's good reason to believe when the HDs get the new cab in a couple of years, they'll have it as well. The new 2020 Silverado/Sierra HDs also have gone to the electric parking brake. The Ford Super Duty along with the updated...

This article in Automotive News today (Feb 12 2018) has the following quote: "An FCA representative told suppliers in a three-minute conference call on Jan. 26 that they should continue planning to support the launch of the next-generation heavy-duty Ram in Saltillo in January 2019, with their...

Per Automotive News FCA reporter Larry Vellequette: "Later in the year, Ram plans to freshen its line of heavy-duty pickups, but it altered earlier plans to redesign its heavy haulers onto its new DT platform in favor of refreshing the current generation for another product cycle."...

According to ARI Fleet, a well-regarded vehicle management service, Ford will begin production of the 2018 F-150 3.0L diesel at the Dearborn Truck Plant on February 26 2018. So it's very likely Ford will have some numbers (hp, torque, mpg) ready for the Detroit show in an effort to combat the...

Traded the 96 on the 05 on March 8 2005. The 05 has definitely been a better truck than the 96 in most ways. The very few things I miss from the 96 are the better fuel economy of the 12-valve, and I prefer black gauges over white. Ironically, one of the few things I have a complaint with on the...

Asking for a friend... 2001 2500 Quad Cab, NV5600. ECM is going south, but FCA no longer offers. Cummins is asking $3500 for a new one :--) (not happening). What should they look for when searching parts outlets and ebay? Thanks for all suggestions!
