I’ll be curious to see if you notice a decrease in fuel economy.
One thing I noticed with the MH cover on my 05 was a decrease in economy from the fluid taking a lot longer to get warm, and never fully warming up unless towing. The MH also doubles capacity, so that will have an effect too but I think the banks will be more effective at cooling.
The cooler fluid could help passive regen thou.

I haven't noticed any difference in fuel economy after two years
I will pay attention to mine over the next month. I’m around 14-15 usually. A little closer to 14.3-14.5 with winter here now and high idle warmups for a few extra minutes in the mornings.

Why someone would make a diff cover that’s easier to smack on something is beyond me… but it says banks on it

Yellow lines on the pavement won’t cause no harm
Next year they'll release one with a radiator.

Bought a 21 3500 Cummins CrewLB 68RFE with 21k on the clock. Drove it home, tore it down and installed Banks monster ram intake/grid heater fix, Banks cold air intake, boost tube upgrade and over-axle 5" exhaust. Looking forward to the Banks tuner (hopefully with transcommand built in). This is my first RAM/Cummins truck. Nice truck, good quality and ride. No regrets!!

A little elbow grease with some compound will restore the bumper

Equal amounts of hate (cynicism) and love for Banks around this joint! I’m in the love column but I’m realistic on the performance gains. I think I just miss modifying my 2nd Gen and need to do something!

The dent (not shown) wouldn't buff out.

Sorry to hear, way too many dumb-asses out there who have no respect . One of the perks we would do for our customers was if they ever had a scuff, they could come in and have us remove as much as possible - no charge. I retired and sold my collision repair business.
Eastern Oregon has some of the most beautiful scenery. We usually plan our motorcycle road trips to include the majority of E. Oregon, great twisties!!

Installed my new Homelink visor and only broke one clip on the overhead console!
Well, not exactly today but this is what I’ve done in an attempt to come closer to the 2016 Ram 2500 ride I enjoyed before buying my 2024 Ram 2500 CC Hemi 4WD w/4.10 differential ratios.
Thuren +2” soft front springs, front swaybar, front track bar w/ bracket, + 1” soft rear springs w/sway bar connecting links, rear track bar, Fox 2.0 IFP shocks (subsequently replaced with Rancho 9000 shocks to reduce the high speed compression dampening), Fox steering damper, Synergy steering box brace, Michelin 295/70R18 tires (to get a taller sidewall and run at low pressures.
For my use, driving with truck alone, occasional 8.5K loaded equipment trailer and 14K rated dump trailer, both trailers using an Equalizer WDH, I’m pleased with the results.
I ordered and received the Thuren LCS Boogie Bump setup and am anxious to see how my trailer towing goes with the extended bump stops and revised WDH settings.
With just under 3K miles on the truck, it’s really starting to come alive as far as engine performance.
I wired Mopar OEM LED bed lights to one of my aux. switches and a pair of LED rear lights to a second aux. switch. I also installed (2) Moper OEM under hood lights that have integral gravity switches.
+ Bed Rug liner, AMP bed extender and Wheelskins cover.
