    Thanks for replying to all. As I sit here and think about the global environmental policies I imagine that's all the same. I can't imagine Canada is as wild as it was 30-40 years ago. (Not weather wise but modern roads, bridges, etc)

    I was looking to see if the big 3 still spec-d different for different countries. Canada trucks were more robust than US trucks. I remember back in the day when going to parts, you had to know production date and country of origin in order to get the correct pieces.

    Do all Rams come from the same factory in mexico? Does your truck have the same exact emissions crap on it that the ones in the US have? (This is not related to the DK vs HSS conversations) I'm just wondering. I remember back in the 80's and 90's we would specifically look for trucks that were...

    Sway bar recommendation

    I wonder if the off-set on the rims you all are using is causing the rubbing. The wider tires may need more off set to relocate the tire further out?

    I stand behind diesel kleen as well. I've got 500k on my 06, original cp3. The injectors were replaced but I got 345k out of them so not complaining. HSS is pretty available at most auto parts stores where I'm at in Ga it's just a little pricey.

    As an addendum, that PDF doesn't ssy No. I tend to over juice the 06 a little bit but I was worried about the emissions system on the 19 so I followed the directions to the letter. Also, I didn't see what engine (s) that PDF was referring to. It could be approved for older cummins engines w/o...

    I use diesel kleen in my 06 5.9 but not in my '19. I used it once in my 19 and it kept regen-ing until that tank of fuel was gone. Diesel kleen has an ash content that the system detects. I use hot shots secret EDT with the lx4 (ashless) and just turned 50k miles. never regens and so far no...

    Rattle Noise In Cab

    I just rolled 45k miles today. They didn't show me the bolts so I have to take their word for it. But it is much, much better. It will bang around ever so slightly when I get into the wash board roads but nothing like it was. It's kinda to be expected tho when you get into rough stuff. Mount...

    Rattle Noise In Cab

    Just pick my '19 2500 C/C up from the dealer after they did the TSB for the rear cab mounts. So far so good after 30 miles with 5 being dirt roads. Only time will tell if it lasts. Here are the part #s that were used. 2 - 68349250 - AF Isolator (cab mounts) 4 - 6510855 - AA Screw Hex ( cab...

    Discussion of what made you choose Ram

    Prior to 2000 I owned nothing but Ford and GM. You couldn't get me in a Dodge if you have one to me back then. But I was wrong. I thought people were kidding when they would say a body will fall off a dodge before the Cummins quit. Finally had a deal I couldn't pass up and have never looked...

    Discussion of what made you choose Ram

    For me it's all about reliability. I have owned several Dodge/ rams over the last 20 years and all have had problems. From stupid stuff like a/c vent doors breaking, dash board breaking like glass to bigger stuff like ball joints and trannys. But not one time have I ever been stranded. Even when...

    Mine still opens and closes but you can feel it kinda hanging up on the strikers. I'm personally not to worried about it because I'm changing it out for a fifth wheel tailgate anyway. The OP should check his just to be sure as well. I also had a gear shift lever that was not tightened down and...

    All the way down the side. Looking at the hinge, it looked like it was crushed in. I waited for the warranty to run out before I massaged it to match the other side but really like didn't gain much in closing the gap. I'm not sure how to adjust it or even if it can be done. I really don't care...

    3/4 on passenger side. I'll take a pic when I get it back from the dealer after new front and rear cab mounts. "Supposedly FCA updated the updated front and rear mounts"? Dealer said I was going to be first to receive them. I'm skeptical until I see part numbers and compare them to the "new"...
