    2025 order run around

    I ordered a New 5500 4x4 diesel Chassis Cab last fall. Got caught up in the 2025 new model chaos, and order was not confirmed until pricing in December. Now I've gotten a message that Ram may not build my truck at all this year, reasoning that they are not taking any more orders. I asked why...

    Check engine light

    '21-3500 The dreaded "ding" & CEL came on about 500 mi from home. Seems to run fine. Is there a way to pull the code out without my scan tool ? I'm curious before we start the trip home.

    Lube/service/transfer case question

    I have plenty of old pre def trucks to play with. I wouldn't consider tampering with this one. Besides the $$,$$$.$$ just too much at risk. And I agree the folks that choose to are just ruining it for the rest of us.

    Lube/service/transfer case question

    Topzide thanks I really do like the truck (so far). It's a pleasure compared to my 2005 3500. Just have to get accustomed to all the emissions and electronics. I really don't miss shifting the 6spd. What is your opinion of the Centramatic balancers ?

    2005 Engine Vibration resolution/advice

    I have been chasing an engine vibration in my 05 4x4 6spd H.O. short bed quad cab for about 6 months. It varies but most noticeable at 2,000 to 2,400 rpm and at idle. Truck has 135K on it. I tow a 6 ton equipment trailer and plow with it. Had an injector coil fail around 90K and replaced that...
