    Bilstein 4600 or 5100 for heavy tow application?

    thanks I installed the 5100 on the front and they are the perfect solution to the bounce I had when towing- A superior experience to the OEM shocks. Now I have to put them on the rear of the dually and looks like I have to remove wheel wells at minimum to get to top of the shock nut. Gone...

    Bilstein 4600 or 5100 for heavy tow application?

    thanks WE pull a 20K fifth wheel full time . The roads are so bad across the country (New Mexico and Wyoming topping the list for now) i think I am off roading! I need a stiffer shock on the front. I have bags in the rear so I can control the rear.

    2022 2500 will not start

    Start with battery. Shops often allow battery to xtsi6. Always think simple first. Try Jumpstart

    Harsh trans clunk and engine knocking dealer no longer responding to me.

    find another dealer, Contact Ram Customer service, The sound is a little difficult to diagnose with a recording- it is a light sound so not likely a severe engine knock. The hard shifting may be electroncic- a sensor, range finder, or computer shift tied to rpms. There are good and bad...
