    "Creaky Door" noise on startup

    (Ram 2500 Cummins) On startup, I hear what sounds like a creaky door noise in or around the drivers fender area. Can't hear it when i'm in the cab, only outside. Anyone else? Thank you.

    Oil type, 10-30 Synthetic or 15-40 straight? Ram 3500 Cummins HD

    I'd start with the weight they put in? For Valvoline Blue, 10w30 is a synthetic blend and 5w40 is full synthetic. Emphasized in the manual, 15w40 CANNOT be used.

    Recon Grapplers vs Ridge Grapplers

    Yep, no trimming or rubbing. Should have been stock size from Ram, in my opinion.

    Service coupon? What's the catch?

    Seems reasonable. Valvoline Premium Blue (10w-30, synthetic blend) is $17/gallon. $17x3 + $15 filter would come to $66 in parts and $55 in labor to get to the $120 price they advertise.

    Recon Grapplers vs Ridge Grapplers

    Just had 35x12.50r17 Recon Grapplers mounted on AEV Saltas and absolutely love the combo! I did a ton of researching before landing on these tires. As quiet as stock, tires are 67lbs versus 74lbs for the same size Ridge Grappler. Load index is 125 versus 121 on the Ridge. Very pleased

    Rear End Rattle, Possible Pinion Slop

    Looking for some insight before my truck goes to the dealer. I have a couple symptoms that i'd like to see if other Ram 2500 CTD owners are experiencing. With the windows down, and my left ear pointed to the back: under acceleration from a stop, I hear a tinny-clanky rattle that is seemingly...

    Getting AEV Saltas on 35s installed on my 2020 Ram 2500 without lift or level today

    Looks incredible. Thinking of doing this exact setup. If not too much trouble, you mind posting more pics? Thanks!

    How do you guys haul bikes?

    I needed a solution for transporting bikes while towing. Cover is the RetraxPro XR with RhinoRack crossbars and Yakima Raptors

    Low Speed Driveline Clicking

    I'll try to get a video and update this post. Problem: when my windows are rolled down, I hear a clicking noise coming from the front end area when I accelerate from a stop. Seems to go away once I hit about 10mph. I believe it to be driveline because in park/neutral and revving it, I do not...

    Engine Overspeed/Overrev Possible?

    Backstory: was at a drive-thru and must have bumped the gear limit - button which locked me in 1st. Pulled onto the road and didn’t realize I was locked in 1st until I noticed no shift and looked down and was around 3200-3400rpm. I assume this is the rev limit. I checked the manual and it...

    Where to buy OEM Parts and Accessories Online?????

    https://www.moparpartz.com/ They charge shipping based on the order cost, not the part size. This is a major benefit when order physically larger parts. I ordered 4 flares and 2 fender liners and shipping was only $75 from NY to CA, and did not collect tax. Other sites were $200 shipping.
