I have a Tradesman 2500 with about 56,000 miles on it. I change the oil every spring since the truck only is driven about 2,000 to 3,000 miles/year. Most miles are pulling a trailer that weighs around 10,000 lbs. I use Valvoline Supreme Blue 15W40 and when draining it (hot) I grab a sample...

It's time to replace the Falken tires (275/70R18E) that came on my 2017 2500 Tradesman that I purchased used. I've not been happy with the road noise that I've had with them for the past four years and now, the "lugs" (not sure if that's what their called) on the tread are starting to fall...

While hauling my camper back (~10,000 lb) from a camping trip with my 2017 Tradesman, running down the interstate in 2 WD a warning popped up on my dash "SERV 4WD". I rarely use 4WD and can't remember the last time I did put it in 4 WD. As fast as the light came on, it went away and repeated...

While vacumming under the rear seat of my 2017 2500 I found this connector under the rear seat on the passenger side. Can't seem to find any information on it. Does anyone have an idea what it might be for? Thanks in advance! Mark

Like others, I was disappointed to find that the factory service manual only works with the Ineternet Explorer browser from Microsoft. Now that Microsoft has pulled the plug on Internet Explorer on June 1st, I wondered if there was a way to make our service manuals work with Microsoft Edge or...

Once again I hope I can impose on fellow RAM owners for some guidance on an issue with the TPMS system on my 2017 Tradesman. We were on our way back from the Dayton Hamvention yesterday morning and after ~ 50 miles of pulling my travel trailer with the RAM (~7500 lbs), we pulled into the rest...

Once again I have to impose on this knowledgeable group for guidance. I can't thank you guys enough for your help! I bought this RAM late last summer and have put about 3,000 miles on it and figure it's probably a good time to rotate the tires since I don't when it was last done, if ever...

I posted last month how I had installed the OEM backup camera kit in my 2017 2500 with the Uconnect 5 radio. When I shift into reverse I get grid lines and they move with steering wheel. Since I often tow my ATV (Rzr) on a utility trailer I was thinking it sure would be nice to be able to...

I am a ham radio operator and would like to install a UHF antenna on the roof my Tradesman. Installing it entails drilling a 3/4" hole in the roof with a shallow metal hole saw, fishing the coax cable through the headline, down on of the pillars and slipping the NMO mount in the hole...

I hate to impose again on this group again but I am unsure if I have a problem or not with this RAM I picked up late last year. It's a 2500 Tradesman with the 6.7L Cummins. I've never owned a diesel truck before and am on a learning curve and appreciate any and all advice! Yesterday we took...

Since I have the Uconnect radio and frequently hitch up to a travel trailer, I really would like a backup camera. I bought the kit from a Dodge dealer and am almost done with the install. It is not a simple installation! You have to remove pins from a connector below the tailgate and install...

Hi, Hoping once again I can impose on this fine group for guidance. New to the diesel world and am not sure if I am creating a problem or not. Winter storage. Last truck I had never saw snow. Owned it for 18 years and accumulated 42,000 miles on it. In winter, it sat on a concrete...

As a fairly recent RAM owner (2017 2500 with 41K miles) I have been looking into the factory extended warranty and also have a question about the FCA "Customer First Award for Excellence program." The factory warranty is very affordable (~$3,200K) until I was told by the local dealer here in...

Once again I have to ask this fine community question on extended warranties other questions and appreciate any and all input. I bought this 2017 Tradesman from a private owner. It has 41,000 miles on it and the in-service date was December 2016. I am in the fourth year of the 5 year 60,000...

Once again, I have to impose on this group for advice. I want to replace the Halogen lights in my 2017 RAM 2500 with LED lamps. I like the higher color temperature lights. The original bulbs are H11 low beam and 9005 high beam. My first attempt didn't go so well. I couldn't get the caps...

Hi, May I once again impose on all you knowledgeable owners of this marvelous machine? I have a 2017 2500 RAM that I just purchased with 41,000 miles on it. I've been reading about the issue with water pump failures and not sure I have a defective water pump or not. While it's not...

I posted earlier today and really appreciate the input on the received regarding a cold air inlet. have another question and would like to impose on this wonderful group again. This is a learning experience for me and appreciate your patience. This truck that I bought came from California...

Hi everyone. I have a question and please forgive my ignorance. About me: I'm a recent convert (1 month) to the RAM family and a new subscriber to this great group. I purchased a 2017 Tradesman Crew Cab, single rear wheel 4X4 with 41,000 miles on it. Previously I was a Ford man (gasoline)...
