What did you do TO your RAM today?

[matski]

Have a question, I just travel from AZ to Oklahoma, 16hrs, 1060 miles. I was averaging 17mpg before I hit 40mph crosswinds. I went to multiple truck stops looking for DEF, they only had the big nozzles, what does everyone use when they come across that? I ended up buy a box of DEF. Truck looks good on the ranch. Also the truck did better on fuel at 85mph then 75mph

Every truck stop that I have stopped at has had the same size DEF nozzle. It fits perfectly. The only nozzle that should be larger is the diesel pump nozzle and it fits into Ram's diesel filler neck. Sometimes you might have to wiggle it a little to get it out. The DEF nozzle is separate and usually to the side of the diesel nozzle. Under a rubber flap-type door.

My cruise control maxes out at 85mph, how did you get your to go higher?

Alpha OBD, also corrected for my tire size and did the tank size when I put the Titan 50 gallon .

Gave her a quick but much needed bath and finally order some RokBlokz.

Thats what I thought as well, the 4 i went to had the huge nozzle like for the semi trucks, wont fit at all.

I guess this is as good a place as any for a question. Does anybody know what the limiting factor is in putting a larger fuel tank in a Regular Cab 8’ Dually? Why isn’t it an option? Why won’t it fit?

Factory cruise cannot initially be SET above 85, but once set you should be able to bump it up to the speed limited max of the truck. BTW, hold for increments of 5MPH.

I can SET mine all the way to 100 (don't ask) and will now only get the warning if above, but don't recall where that is in AlfaOBD.

Explored a little

I really like the RokBlokz too. Fit great!

As promised.. some more pics of BD OnX6 light bar installed recently.View attachment 33815View attachment 33816View attachment 33817View attachment 33818

Sweet bumper. Do they make it in chrome?

 

[GBB]

Changed out light bar in lower grill.. removed the Heise and installed a Black Oak.

No they do not. It is always in AEV's ''A-coat'' for durability. I am sure you could have a shop make it chrome for you for some money.

Paint it the same color of the truck in a smooth matte.

Drove It 548 Miles

Day two of terminal leave spent driving from Beaver Creek, Canada to Watson Lake, Canada.

We’re making our way to Oklahoma City, OK to make that hike post 26 year Air Force career.

I had a spray liner put on the bed with a gray color that almost matches the Billet Silver color on my 2022 Ram 2500 Laramie with the ORG, sports package and snow chief package. I also had the AMP power running boards put on. They are great, 5 year complete warranty and you cannot see them until they drop after opening the door. They are not, however, inexpensive but keeping the wife happy is important and it will make getting in a bit easier for the dogs...getting older. I also put in "Exact" Husky liners for the front driver passenger side. Price has definitely dropped on those vs my 2015 1500 at 69 bucks on Amazon. I am noticing that they are using a slightly stiffer material over the 2015. I'm sure it is because you will eventually wear through the older softer versions, right where your heel hits the floor per experience. This one looks tougher... I got a rolling tonneau cover off of Amazon I will finish up today and it was a steal at 169 bucks. It looks tougher than the Tuxedo Truxport at twice the price. I've used those now on a couple trucks and have NO criticism of them. I will be getting the MOPAR bed step here in a bit. It is EASY to install yourself.

Of interest, I got one off the lot and the build sheet and the Monroney (window sticker) did NOT list the wheel well liners so I was going to have them put those on the truck and the installer said, no need they are already on there... I'm not going to complain... but it is interesting that they are an add on that cost a bit. Maybe they made a mistake...in my favor...at the factory? Does that happen?

I really recommend the Snow Chief package for anyone at like 995 bucks. You get the bigger alternator (220 vs 180), limited slip differential, the auxilliary switches inside and the lights on top. I could live without the lights, but the rest is a deal unto itself when you consider the limited slip alone costs like 500 bucks. And the aux switches give you options for additional things down the road like lights etc. The Off Road Group (ORG) is worth it if you want to do any off roading even light and the Bilsteins/different springs? alone are a nice addition along with the off road pages on Uconnect. One of the things I like about the off road pages is the altimeter. We go lots of places in the mountains and its neat to see how high you are... I don't particularly care for chrome and thus the Sports Package but am wondering about rock chips over time on the bumpers.

One last observation... As the gen 4.5, the interior is NOT as big as in the Gen 5 1500 I traded in. We have big dogs and the back with the seats up and flat floor set up for dogs is more like the old Gen 4 1500's of which I had two over time. The Gen 5 back interior is almost as big as a twin bed, really...huge... The 2500 you lose around 3 to 4 inches of flat space in the back width wise front to back. The dogs don't seem to care, but the wife noticed right off the back. I got this for the travel trailer. The 1500 was..."adequate..." for the trailer, this will be more than adequate and we could potentially go fifth wheel if we wanted... I don't, she does...

Yes, the new 1500 cab is close to the same size as the mega i believe. Pretty sure the plan for 5th Gen HD trucks is to get rid of the Mega cab and just use a larger crew cab like the 1500. I also noticed when i went from a 5th gen 1500 to a 4.5 HD truck that the back seat felt very small.

I've been stalking Bestop topper for months and it finally paid off. For one day only, their toppers were in stock. Called and confirmed, ordered, and it was on my doorstep in less than a week. Got around to installing it today:

 

[Mustangmike66]

Day 3 traveling the Alaska Highway was so nice. The roads weren’t bad at all. We saw a couple of Bison herds and probably the most beautiful place I’ve ever seen. Manchu Lake in the Northern Rockies. This is my second time through there and it is so stunning. Kevin seems content with the back seat mostly all to himself.

The AMP power Running boards are FANTASTIC... My wallet is substantially lighter though... But the wife and older dog love them, so we are good.
