    Mice in my cab

    Last week I noticed the paper towels under the back seat were a bit chewed up. Small pieces of tissue were scattered around under the back seat area. I did not see any nest area or smell any urine. I thought to myself "I can't imagine how critters would get inside the cab!" So I cleaned the...

    The time has come to replace the Firestone tires on my '21 3500 SRW truck. 33000 miles. Truck is stock with stock auto air suspension. I would like to go with a taller tire for a bit more clearance. Not looking to go wider really. Concerns are rubbing while turning, road noise and wear...

    oil relocation kit

    Hi All. Just pick up my 2021 3500 4x4 Laramie that I ordered in December. Awesome truck. Looking at the oil filter...looks like a pain to remove without making a mess. I have used the Zip Lock Bag method in the past so this might be an option. I was looking at the PacBrake oil filter...

    buying a new Ram

    thinking of buying a new Ram. Haven't really started looking. Thinking of a 2019 or 2020. My 2006 runs great. No problems. New trans a few months ago (to be expected) but that's it. I just retired and sold my business. Only draw back is my "shop" is gone and no place to tinker around on my...

    Gear indicator issues

    My gear indicator is acting up. The square box that lights up "D" goes on and off and clicking sound under dash while driving. Sometimes will not light up "P" when parked and will not start.

    No Climate Control lights

    My lights on the climate control and also on the light switch itself are not working. The dimmer switch still operates my radio, overhead console & instrument cluster. I checked the fuses and all seem ok. Any Ideas? Regards, HJR

    2006 vs 2016

    I am thinking about buying a new CTD Ram. Tax man says it's time but I really like my 2006. My 2006 runs great and the front end issues have been resolved. I would like to hear the pros & cons. Also, I get to purchase at employee cost so that a plus. Thanks for your advise HJR

    Auto Trans Shift Lever Loose

    On occasion my shift lever does not fully engage (spring) into Park. It is locked in "park" in the trans itself but the indicator shows it is in "R" and will not start until I push the lever a bit further up & forward and then the "P" lights up. Is this a bushing issue? Thanks

    I replaced my steering box about two years ago with the Borgeson Box. 26,000 miles ago. I notice that there is about 4 to 5 inches of play in the steering wheel...truck off--turning steering wheel back & forth until I feel resistance. Also I hear a clunking noise coming form the box. Also I...
