    New Truck Tire Pressure Question

    Look up your tire chart. Running over inflated tires (for your weight) is almost as bad as under inflated tires. In my 3500 SRW I run 50 front and 45 back when not towing. Even that is probably a bit too much when empty. I also use the tire fill alert system when filling and deflating. I...

    ECO mode / Cylinder De-activation / MDS - How Do I Turn It OFF

    When the green eco light comes on you're in MDS. I can't notice any performance change but I drive with a heavy foot so it doesn't come on very often.

    Camping

    Mountain View Campground, Hiawassee GA. Got a slide topper installed Saturday morning at my dealer in Acworth, GA. With a last minute reservation Louie and PJ the owners of Mountain View Campground were able to squeeze us in for 5 nights. Then a reservation canceled at the last minute and we...

    HD HEMI would be my vote. The rest of them no go. Have you checked to see if any of these are available?

    Anyone use a ladder rack for a boat? Do they work with tonneau covers?

    That totally depends on your tonneau cover and your ladder rack. I have a low profile soft roll tonneau cover. It gives full access to your bed rail cutouts. If you have a ladder rack that works in the bed rail cutout slots then it would work together. My last tonneau cover covered part of the...

    Factory Air Ride While Towing

    This is an interesting thread. I have a 3500 with aftermarket airbags (Airlift 5000 ultimate). Before the airbags my truck would buck bad when towing my 12,500 5th wheel. Added the airbags and inflated to 75 psi which took the squat out. It tows much better now. Was pleasantly surprised this...

    Which soft tri-fold tonneau do you guys like?

    My last truck had the lowest model TruXedo soft cover. It basically sat up on the bed rails. It was cheap and worked okay but......... With my new 3500 I went with the TruXedo x-15 pro. It's a low profile soft cover that barely sits on the bed rails. I like it much better. Has a tighter fit and...

    Based on everything I’m reading, it seems I made a mistake in the truck I bought

    Not sure what I think of this post considering I'm a RV forum guy who pulls a GVWR of 1395 5th wheel with a 3500 Hemi 6.4. Considering you are just snooping the RV forums where I actually participate in both this Ram forum and a couple of different RV forums........

    Changing to telescoping steering wheel?

    Supposedly that is what the telescoping pedals are for. Unfortunately they don't come straight back towards the seat. They come back and up at the same time so if you have short legs and feet and you bring the pedals back your feet are dangling in the air to use the pedals. Another example of...

    Missing Blind Spot Monitoring

    Wouldn't there be a chip missing somewhere. When the packages marked "2" got changed to packages marked "B" wasn't that because of a chip shortage relating to the BSM chip? Am I missing something?

    Don't let the dealer put their crappy flat mud flaps on. I have Weather Tech. Custom molded, fits like a glove and no drilling. Takes about 10 minutes to install all 4. 3500 SRW.

    Camping

    Me and Mrs skreef go geocaching when we go camping. If you pick your caches carefully, geocaching can take you to some strange and wonderful places. We also have a few caches we've placed out in the world including one we placed last year in a small private RV campground in Hiawassee GA. The...

    Remote Tailgate Release

    My 2021 3500 Laramie has tailgate release on the key fob. It also has a button on the inside above the rear view mirror if I remember correctly. Used it once to test it. Now I just use the key fob.
