2018 3500 that I bought with 53,XXX miles on it (from a dealer). I’m starting my log and I’m thinking I want to set a maintenance baseline and am looking for some input. Specifically or particularly on those fluids the truck is not monitoring. For context, I’ll probably put 2000 - 3000 miles...

Hey all, So I got my new to me 2018 3500. As part of the licensing, I needed to get a weight on the vehicle. The truck has an A.R.E. toolmaster HD topper on it and a Buckstop bumper with a 16k winch. Nears as I can tell, these should total 400#’s for the bumper/winch and 300#’s for the...

Hi Guys, I just closed on a new (to me) 2018 3500 Laramie. I am contemplating putting a warranty on it - not through dealer though. The truck has 53k miles on it and drives/run perfect. Anyone else decided to do this and if so, what level of protection and with which company. I get in the...

Hey All, So I’ll be installing a new Valair DD Quiet clutch this weekend. I have looked through the forum’s in search of some consensus on fluid type and if aux. coolers are of any value. My max & typically tow weight will be under 12K lbs. and will likely not get to that. My GCVW (truck/5th...

In my continued pursuit of fitting and tuning my truck for good 5ver towing, I am considering a rear sway bar. Here are a couple of questions and I’ll appreciate the live experience from all on this forum. Some context - my 5ver max’s at 11,995#. It is usually in the 10,700# range when...

Hi All and Happy New Year! So I finished getting my new BD pulse manifold and exhaust brake in over the weekend. Really like the performance of the components and the install went fine. Seems like EGTs are lower and that might also be contributed to by resetting my Smarty Touch to #3 with the...

Hello All and Merry Christmas Eve day! I hope each of you have the opportunity to spend some quality time with the ones you love as well as a prayer and shout out to those men & women serving our country who are away from their families. Having made the decision to keep my ‘06 in lieu of buying...

Hey All, I’ve got my exhaust manifold and turbo out and am going to replace the heater core tubing from the water pump area (behind the alternator) to the heater core as they are looking a bit rusty and this seem like the time to do it. There will be a PAC-brake in the way when it is back...

Hey All, For the last 5 years or so, my up/down adjustment on my passenger side mirror has not worked. In/out still works fine. Is there a “trick” to removing the glass to see if there is a connector broken or is it better to just get a new assembly? Mirrors are heated and manually folded tow...

I am getting ready to install a new PAC Brake and thought I would upgrade the exhaust manifold. Do any of you have opinions (strong or otherwise) regarding DPS or BD, 2 piece manifolds? Perhaps there are others that should be considered. I don’t have any turbo work/replacement planned, just...

Hey All, I would like some input on what type of periodic maintenance cleaner to use - if any. I have been running (almost) exclusively the Kum & Go diesel - Extreme is what I think they call it - as it has the Power Service additives in it. The truck is in my sig and in addition to the Stage...

Hey Guys, 2006 Dodge 2500 w/ G56 trans. Isn’t there supposed to be a rubber seal in the clutch master cylinder? I found this rubber “cross or plus sign” looking seal about 1.5” long that fits perfectly in the cap. It was laying in a place it wasn’t suppose to be. I’ve tried to upload a...

Good Morning, I am contemplating selling my ‘06 2500 4x4 manual to my son and purchasing a used 4th Gen. I would like any feedback from this community on the why’s and why not’s. An alternative, is locate another ‘07 or older (which is not real easy). I have been contemplating ‘08 to ‘12...

Hello, I had picked up a new (to us) 5th wheel and had 2 6v batteries installed in series in lieu of 12v parallel. Pulling it home from Utah, I live in Colorado, about an hour into the pull the CEL came on. Checked the code through my Smarty Touch and found it to be P0606. After reading what...
