    Dashboard Passenger Airbag Visible

    Noticed last week I can see the creases in the dash where the passenger airbag sits. Wondering if anyone else has the same issue. Not very noticeable but it looks like the material that covers the airbag section relaxed and sunk in. Anyone have any luck using something to tighten that area...

    Oil Consumption

    Truck has almost 70,000 miles. I don't believe I'm under warranty. I hope the dealer topped it off on the last change. I'm not sure what oil they use.

    Oil Consumption

    How much oil consumption is normal? About 6k on this oil change and my dip stick is about dry.

    Hmm. I don't see an option for 2014+ from carli.

    Sure, meant 2019+ or will the older bags fit?

    Towing on 37s

    Are they doing long travel air bags for the 5th generation yet? I think long travel bags with the backcountry kit is the sweet spot for a 2500. It towed fine without them. The equalizer hitch helps level the truck out. Without the timbrens or equalizer it will squat a lot.

    I picked up my truck from Dolan. They were able to get me the best price out of everyone I reached out too.

    Towing on 37s

    Was able to take out the trailer with the new coupling and equalizer hitch this weekend. Sway is completely gone. Took it up to 85mph just to test everything out and it was solid. Going to try and pull the Timbren bump stops off the rig and see how she does next.

    Towing on 37s

    I've purchased an equalizer WDH as well as a cruisemaster DO45 Plus coupling. Moving away from the polyblock setup gives me a bit more freedom when it comes to hitches. Measured everything up and use the equalizer Calc. Ended up with a 6" drop. Hopefully this gives me enough adjustment.

    Towing on 37s

    It's noticeable. I can accelerate probably just as fast with 37s but I'm mindful of the drive train. I just take it easy.

    Towing on 37s

    I really wanted something along the lines of a diesel power wagon with this build. Fully understood what a lower spring rate would do. I'm using the Timbren bump stops. I believe I primarily ride on those when towing. This really stiffens up the rear end. Planning on hitting the scales this...

    I'm using the Timbren system in this picture. https://www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/timbren/products/timbren-2014-2019-ram-2500-rear-suspension-enhancement-system Squats way too much with the carli dominator kit installed. This effectively locks out the rear end and I'm primarily on the...

    Towing on 37s

    Well did a trip out with the HQ21. Measured the height to the frame rail of the trailer and it sits a 1/2" lower at the front than the rear. I did forget to put the Timbren kit in the first time out on 37's. Huge improvement, but still squirley past 55mph. Had to put some water in the black...

    Towing on 37s

    You are correct. It's a D rated tire and it's higher than the GAWR, so I'm not limited by the tires load capacity.

    It's relatively flat. It is a black series hq21 which I believe is tail heavy. Not super stoked about the weight distribution

    Towing on 37s

    Had 35" ridge grapplers on my rig for a while. Towed well, e rated, not a lot of flex. Those went out and I had some 37" nitto trail grapplers sitting around and threw them on. Going to go trailer a camper out and in a short trip around the town it was sway city. 1) I'm asking for trouble...
