    Rear slider window switch – why is it backward?

    Thanks for the write up. I did my 2012 the week after I got it, annoyed the hell out of me too, never thought about it after that until now.

    Rear tires wearing more than front?

    X2 on normal at those miles, rear tires have slip from torque from normal driving much less towing, rotate every oil change, check the pressures regularly, unless the frontend is out, the rear will always wear faster than the front. EB has no more effect on wear than normal braking.

    2018 ram ram 3500 Big Horn can I add GPS

    One map update will cost you more than a Garmin with lifetime maps. Get a Garmin, if you want maps and directions get a gps, if you want to talk get a phone, just my 2cents of course. I have the Nav radio in mine, never updated, use my Garmin IF directions are needed.

    Delete Questions

    Any of the RaceMe products should work good for you. Mine is a 2012, but zero codes, and they have them for the Def trucks like yours as well. No magic in their programmers, in the stock power deleted program, it is the same as a Ram from the factory for the Middle eastern market, ie. the Me in...

    Time for Batteries

    Get the 94R from somewhere you can get them replaced under warranty out on the road if needed. I have bought batteries online before, but if they go south you are basically on your own, worth the extra price to walk into a building to pick them up, right now I am running NAPA AMG 94R made by...

    k n air filter - intake opinion?

    If you insist on running a K&N, and don't delete your truck, your wasting time and money, the stock exhaust is much more restrictive than the factory air box and filter. If you can't get air out, no need to try an put it in. My deletes are, no dpf, no NOx, factory muffler, factory pipes, and a...

    Oil Change Anomoly

    As a side note: if it is only 2 quarts over don't worry about it, mine made that much in un-burned fuel in 4800 miles before I deleted. Now, no worries.

    Oil Change Anomoly

    Back to the over full problem, this same thing happened to me once, I put three jugs of oil in a truck before I realized they were 5qt. jugs. Automatically 3qts over, just an idea you may want to check. We all make errors sometimes.

    need new tires - will these fit?

    I have the TOYO 285/75R17 AT2 on mine with the stock wheels, no issues, but I do have carli's leveling out the front, do know for sure, but don't think they will hit with stock height. no rub on the suspension . I think they are 34.5" new.

    Retractable running boards

    Thanks seafish for the info. More concerned with durability than price, I plan to keep her a long time also.

    Retractable running boards

    Did a search, but couldn't find any information on the AMP Research retractable running boards. Any one have them, how do you like them, how hard were they to install? If you have any pictures it would be nice. Thanks for any information in advance.

    oil filter info

    Factory OCI on the 2012 is 7500 miles, if you can get that far. Fuel dilution always caused my change oil light to come on much earlier. That shouldn't be a problem with the DEF trucks 2013 on up. Oil analysis on a couple of changes to set a base line, then extended drain intervals after that...

    oil filter info

    Before I deleted, I was getting less than 5,000 miles before the oil change light came on, first change after deletes the light came on around 7800, at that point it was still black, but to the eye it didn't seem as dark, or sooty as before. I assume this was from residual soot in the engine. I...

    oil filter info

    Not the recommended OCI from the factory. These are utility fleet vehicles, and we go by oil analysis, not factory spec's to set a base line for different vehicle types and applications. We have some 1500 gas engine trucks on 15,000 OCI. On our 9 liter engines we change at 500 hrs.Just some...

    oil filter info

    We have two 2012 5500's with over 14000 hours on them, Wix /Napa filters all the way and Schafer oil, every 10,000 miles. We do oil analysis regularly and have had 0 engine problems, never even changed an injector. Any quality filter and oil with required maintenance should be good to go. Just...
