Hey Guy's, New to rams, had Ford's before. I have enjoyed reading everybody's posts and I thought I would share a quick picture of our new truck.

Thanks. I like it also. I haven't figured out how to make my signature permanant.

Did you find that gem on the lot? Or order it?

Its under settings at the top right (tab).

Then you will see edit signature on the left.

Thanks for the info.

Pur-D!

Use FleetGuard/Mopar filters and keep it stock.

I got two years of free oil changes and planned on keeping it stock. I am going to put a gooseneck hitch in it next week with a in bed wiring harness. That will probably be it. My last ford had a bunch of mods on it and it just meant more up keep.

Forgot to add my signature!

I have been looking for stock fender flares can't seem to find them.

Check on Ebay I found a few stock sets of Flairs ended up buying a set that came off a black rig they look really nice on my dark blue Ram, and the price was lessthan half a new un painted set would have cost.

Are you installing the gooseneck yourself? Which GN are you looking at?

Congratulations on the new truck, welcome to the TDR forum, have a look at the printed magazine.

Yes I will be installing a B&W gooseneck hitch myself. I will also install a draw tite in bed seven way plug at the same time. On another note I went out in the hills today and put it into 4 wheel drive. Everything worked flawlessly but, on the evic it showed "4X4 lock". Does that mean the rear end locks in four wheel drive?

Thanks

Congrats! I find that folks who DRIVE a Ford 6.7 don't actually OWN them.

Your window sticker or build sheet will indicate if you have a limited slip differential. But I don't think 4x4 locks the differential. On my 2013, 4x4 low turns off the electronic stability control.

Good choice on the BW. We put a deposit on a 2016 at Dave Smith yesterday and it doesn't have the 5th/goose package. After I saw the cast China parts in the Mopar kit, I'm opting for the BW goose hitch myself. I had BW in my former 04.5 also.

Installing on these newer frames is so much easier than the older ones.

Ya, the biggest deal about installing A BW goose hitch is drilling that monster hole in the bed. 0.25" off and and the cussing commences.

I was sweating when cutting that. But got it almost perfect! Maybe 1/16-1/32 off.

That's a one shot deal. No fixing it if you get it too far off.
