    My first tow,and it was very nice indeed......

    Normally when descending a hill if you apply the brake lightly and hold there is a strategy to downshift and reapply the TC. So a 6th gear would downshift to 5 and apply TC for engine braking. This along with an exhaust brake will slow the vehicle(s) in most situations. BTW this is not new. My...

    Truck cap 3rd to 4 th gen.

    You could check with a canopy dealer. I would think not, most are year & make specific. Also would you try to match a new truck color to cap color of a cap that may not look right? I traded my 2005 (white color) with the canopy because I was sure it would not look too good on a silver truck even...

    Accessory power in a 2015?

    I would STRONGLY recommend the Painless products that provide a dedicated and isolated power source. These new multi-plexed vehicles don't tolerate tapping into harness or repurposing wiring for an unintended purpose

    Recall/Buyback

    That's sounds right to me. Remember MY 2007.5 to 2012 are pre DEF and have a bit of a rep for emission problems and poor fuel economy. This hurts resale. IE my 2005 Ram 2500 got me $27575 against a new 2013 Ram 250 Outdoorsman at 45K in the fall of 2013. That was for an immaculate low miles one...

    fuel mileage with 900 ft. lbs.

    I would think you would lose 10-15 % of the EVIC number once the math is done. The parameters used in the ECM calcs are not real world

    Tow Hall Mode

    1st thing I do after starting is engage tow/haul and EB. If I could get it to default to those setting I would be happy.

    2015 auto or manual trans?

    Too noisy for me. Sounds like my friend's 2004.5 straight piped. One of the things I like about my 2013 is the fact it goes about the tow with out a lot of commotion. No grabbing gears, no tach swing past 4000 RPM to find its power range AND NO EAR SPILTTING DRONE IN THE CAB. That wears on you...

    High idle on at factory on '15's?

    My 2005 AT did not have the fast idle feature enabled. Smarty Jr enabled it. The 2013 does out of the box from factory with AT.

    RAM 3500 towing observations

    Just remember DEF consumption is about 2.2 % of Fuel Consumption. When towing fuel and DEF consumption should increase significantly

    Newby Asks: Travel Trailer Shock Absorbers

    If you are trying to solve the ride of a long TT while towing. There is one and only one solution IMO. That is the Air Safe Hitch. They are about 1200.00 but the difference is astounding. My wire talked about following in the car because of the harshness. The Air Safe is the cure...

    Pyrometers for 2015 3500

    True None of these are pre turbo. So you would add 300-350 degrees to those sensor reading

    My 11.8 / 300mm AAM Rear Axle Experiences in my 2014 RAM 3500 Crew Cab 4x4 DRW

    Yikes! That seems like a skimpy labor time considering an all new R&P and having to set the backlash and gear pattern etc. If these the AAM diffs are like Dana's they put the pinion depth shim between the large pinion bearing and gear. The Dana's also set the ring gear with shims under the...

    Seeking recommendations on suspension upgrade for back-country TT touring

    If your issues are when towing (?) I assume you have WD hitch and anti-sway (?)There is one and only one solution. The Air Safe Hitch. http://airsafehitch.com/ Check out the videos of towing travel trailers. I had similar issues and read the shock, air bag & spring solutions on a bunch of...

    Diesel Particulate Filter

    That seems frequent. I can see a regen with Bully Dod as the DPF EGT sensor will spike about 400 degrees above the post turbo EGT sensor. I drive 70/30 highway. The truck does this at around 1000 mile intervals. The use of DEF allows less EGR so exhaust entering DPF @ higher temps on 2013 &...

    Drive vs setting transmission to 5th for pulling?

    If I am not mistaken the 13's & later SRW's come W/3:42 ratio. Earlier trucks 3:73 or lower were more common.

    def

    Buy @ pump if you can do so conveniently. I have kept & refilled my last 2 empty 2.5 jugs. I keep one with me just in case.

    RAM 2015 Regen Frequency

    You can see a regen on a (PID) monitor such as a Bully Dog GT. The DPF sensors temp on the outlet side wil spike about 400 degrees higher than inlet temp. Mine does it about every 1000 miles of mostly highway use. Yes the DEF reduces NOX by injecting it into the SCR catalyst. This is compared to...
