    Drag link weld question (sorry!)

    I know this is old news but I'm at the point where the Ram dealer cannot complete an alignment due to the so called fix. I contact RamCare and was told they no longer handle it. It has to go through the dealer to the regional office (or something like that). Dealer started it on their end, I...

    Warning! DPFTunes

    Just a heads up that may save someone else a headache. Back in May I ordered a 60 gallon replacement fuel tank for my '18 dually from DPFTunes.com. They had it in stock (or so it said on their website). My card was charged, an order shown. I was to get an email when the product shipped. Several...

    HVAC fan quit

    The heater/ac fan in our 06 stopped working yesterday. Fuses all check out. Any suggestions before shop time?

    Are there better dually center caps?

    2018 dually with aluminum rims. The cover on one of the front wheels fell off after bouncing around on dirt roads for a few weeks. Almost all the tabs that hold on the lug nuts were broken. I pulled the other one off and a few tabs were broken. Does anyone know of a cover with metal tabs? Or do...

    Service air suspension light

    Has anyone else had this warning? I've only seen it once. Truck has almost 13K on it. No problems with the ride. I haven't had it loaded or hooked to the trailer so I don't know if it will level or not. Temps have been cold but nothing crazy cold.

    Something went wrong, please try again (USB connection)

    I've been using my Samsung Galaxy 8 via the USB connection to make calls, receive calls, and make and receive texts. It was working great. Now it doesn't. Whether I specify CALL X, TEXT X, or ask a question it gives me the "Something went wrong, please try again" message. I recently downloaded...

    Alternate DEF setting, and trailer miles

    My buddy has a 2011 Ford F250 that allows him to set the DEF for towing so it doesn't use as much. There is also a setting that, when a trailer is hooked up, tracks the miles towed for each specific trailer. I haven't located such an animal on my 18. Does it exist? Seems like it should if Ford...

    Can't make 8.4 do a few things...help!

    I have looked and looked, both here and around the web. I have the 8.4 with navigation and Uconnect in my '18 3500. I have it pretty much figured out except for two things. I can't return a text with talk to text; I have to use one of the pre-determined responses. When replying to a text I get...

    Andersen and B&W not compatible?

    We just got a new 2018 Ram 3500 with the puck set up. We didn't get the ball for the center hole because they were on a "Do not ship" from the factory according to the parts guy at the dealership. Wanting the Andersen hitch I looked around and found a B&W ball for that application. Curt also...

    New tow pig

    My wife and I took the plunge today and got a 2018 Laramie 3500 DRW with the Aisin and 3.73 gearing. We kept the 06 Mega. Nice truck.

    Which specs denote the 930 torque engine?

    I've been looking at numerous dealer sites for a 2018 3500 dually. Many show the Aisin transmission but only the lower powered engines and a tow rating of <17K. I thought all the trucks with Aisin trannys were the 930 lb ft ones. Is there a way to find this without relying on a possible mistake on the...

    Signs of carrier bearing failure

    I have a chirp (sounds like squeaky rubber) coming from under the truck. It does it at idle when moving and speeds up until I can't hear it over the engine. If I put the truck in neutral it stops even though the truck is still moving forward. No clunks but I do have a slight shudder at take off...

    Good bye 06, hello 17 or 18

    We are currently looking into getting a new ram truck. We currently have an an 06 Megacab 3500. I am thinking Mega dually or longbed crew cab dually. We pull a fifth wheel that maxes at 15000 but I want to be ready in case we ever get something bigger. I also want the stability. For those who...

    How much torque?

    I purchased a Dewalt 1/2" 20v impact wrench hoping to use it for trailer and truck lugs. It is rated at 150lb ft so I figured it would work since the lug torque is less than 150. I was wrong. What is the minimum torque I'd need to easily remove the lugs? Dewalt has a 400# and a 700# 20v setup...

    No neutral indicated, no 4x4 low

    I went to back my 5er in and tried to put the truck (2006 mega) in 4wheel low. I put the trans in neutral but the little square light around the N didn't come on. I didn't think anything of it but then it wouldn't go into 4low. The indicator shows all other gears. Is there a probe or switch that...

    RV camping in/around Rocky Mountain NP

    I'm looking for info on good full hook up RV sites in or near RMNP. We'll have a group of at least 5, maybe 10+ RV's/trailers, most of which are 32'-38'. We've found some online but when looking at aerials, they don't look as nice as the web pages would have you believe. Planning on July of '18...

    Got an oil sample done, high results

    I sent an oil sample in to Blackstone. This is the first time I've done this and the truck has 155,xxx on it. I got this back ANDY: Chrome and iron read high in this sample compared to averages. Chrome shows piston ring wear, and iron comes from steel parts like shafts...

    Losing my mind with suspension pops and clicks

    I'm about at my wits end with my front end. It tracks well, tires wear well, but there are just these barely noticeable pops/clicks that I can feel through the wheel and floorboards. This happens on any surface, but not all the time. I have replaced the shocks (Bilsteins), steering box, tie rod...

    Which years' bumper will fit?

    I managed to put a big dent in my rear bumper this past weekend. Which rear bumpers will fit a 2006 3500? Are the bumpers on 1500 and 2500 the same as 3500? I want to expand my net at the junkyard.
