    Anyone got a line on a 2019 - 20 Ram 3500 - REAR BUMPER ?

    Anyone putting an aftermarket rear bumper on & wanting to offset the cost w/ selling their OEM Chrome bumper? I'd like to pick up a chrome bumper without paying MSRP.

    'Best' / most liked seat covers for 4.5 gen. Ram HD Crew cab ~ German Shepherd dog to join the family soon...

    Sounds like a good system U have; we're all coming at this from diferent perspectives - I realize... My German Shepherds have always sat 'loud & proud' (de-facto 'shotgun') in the front passenger seat; - should I have two legged passengers they have to ride in the back, lol... Just the way I...

    I guess time will tell if your "got" ends up working out better for U w/ the girl or the dog, lol... (sorry, just the casual way you phrased 'getting' a g-friend made me laugh). I did see some Carhartt covers though they didn't look quite as snugly fitted as others doing a 'Google' pic...

    'Best' / most liked seat covers for 4.5 gen. Ram HD Crew cab ~ German Shepherd dog to join the family soon...

    Though I'm really rellishing the 'new car smell' & the dust free surfaces of my new Ram 3500 I am fatalistically practical in this regard ('new truck) ~ tis soon to be a thing of the past, lol... What I value more than pristine interiors is the companionship of my dog! That being said, (before...

    Have an apt. today at my local VT Ford Dealership to have 'Fluid film' undercoating... should I wait?

    Well they've been at it for close to 2hr. now & still going, very thorough job! They started out drilling holes in all the doors - tailgate & any space they couldn't access & blowing the stuff in before plugging it back up. The stuff doesn't look bad at all, just gun metal gray & slick looking...

    Have an apt. today at my local VT Ford Dealership to have 'Fluid film' undercoating... should I wait?

    Does it look unsightly - fender arches, from the rear undercarriage etc?

    Have an apt. today at my local VT Ford Dealership to have 'Fluid film' undercoating... should I wait?

    The more I think about it & the more I read up on it, I'm more inclined to wait. I have a sparkling new truck & by all accounts this stuff looks kind of like snot. Also, can I expect some of it to get washed away in the next mo. / mo. & a 1/2 before the snow starts to fly. Also wondering about...

    New to my 3500 DRW Aisin high output 4.10 ratio 34K towing rig - transfer case / 'tow haul' / 'exhaust brake' ?'s ...

    Is there any way to 'pre-set' the exhaust brake to kick in at a certain speed / w the first application of the brake etc. (I don't fully understand the synergistics)? Otherwise it just seems rather arbitrary... I have watched plenty of TFL Truck 'Ike Gauntlet' reviews, however, they seem more...

    New to my 3500 DRW Aisin high output 4.10 ratio 34K towing rig - transfer case / 'tow haul' / 'exhaust brake' ?'s ...

    So I flew out west on vacation & on the way back, in TX, bought a 3500 Aisin HO 4.10 equipped w/ all of the utilitarian fundaments that I had to have & some that where just niceities (tow prep, rear slider window, bed liner & that modicum of Chrome, lol...). So I drove back to VT luxuriating in...

    Beware of the new Cummins 6.7

    Though I very much want to buy a 2018 diesel dually right now, the potentiality of a x 3-ish MPG bump would be a tremendous boon for me w/ the new engine / 8spd transmission. If it turns out that there is not a significant bump in efficiency, I'll probably just go with a 4.10 2018 Aisin...

    TKS, 'DD' informative post, I learned something.

    I'd be tempted to go with ford but I can't get over the 'slapped on' look of the DRW side fender arches...

    I test drove a 2018 $76K Ford F350 DRW diesel and really liked the interior, esp. the tech aspect. I did the walk around examining every inch - then backed away at various angles etc. I can't get over the 'hurried' / 'cheep' look that those rear fender arches present. Even in the high priced...

    Beware of the new Cummins 6.7

    Do you think 2018 HD truck prices will drop much after January, or only toward the end of the year when 4.5's actually are rolled out en masse?

    $$$ What to expect to pay for a new 2019 over a new 2018 similarly equipped (3500 drw diesel)?

    There are many theories about steel tariffs being more fully realized in 19 (although they should have been realized with the 18's as well); more expensive CGI engine block, more expensive transmission (8 spd).... etc. I would love to hear from some that follow HD truck stuff more than I, on...
