    New 2025 3500 Bricked after 357 miles

    Bingo. A "hard-ass" usually gets nothing but a bunch of pissed off employees who think you're a complete douchebag. NONE of them actually want to help you. But if you're polite and reasonable and treat others with a little respect, you'll find people almost willing to bend over backwards to help...

    New 2025 3500 Bricked after 357 miles

    Times they are a'changin', my friend. These days, many companies train their employees to stop communicating directly with the customer as soon as the customer mentions a lawyer or a lawsuit or any other such related legal gobbliddygook. Bringing up the possibility (or the threat) of legal...

    New 2025 3500 Bricked after 357 miles

    Too much talk of "counsel, attorney, lawyer", etc. Ya know, with ALOT of big companies, the moment you mention "attorney" their policy is to stop talking to you. You'll close more doors than open them with that sort of nonsense. Good luck.

    Banks or Insight CTS3

    Yup. Some might testify that the price is high because Banks is better, but even if its better, its still overpriced. I've been happy with all of the Banks gear I've had over the years but YIKES its expensive. The damn Pedal Monster is up to $350 now! I want one, but not that bad I don't think.

    Banks or Insight CTS3

    I've only ever used Banks, both the old "screen" style similar to the CTS3, which was mounted to the windshield with a suction-cup mount, and now the new IDash with the Stealthpod in my 2024. Between the two I much prefer the look, integration, layout, simplicity, size, and interface/controls of...

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    Its communist California, so like EVERYTHING in communist California, its way more than anywhere else... and not as good. Pay more, get less..... the democrat way.

    Let’s Talk: Lifters & Valvetrain Failure

    If the Hamilton kit was on sale for 95% off, then maybe I could halfway afford to pay the labor to have it installed.

    Absolute Ram Noob looking for Wisdom

    You remember when all those little lowered Honda cars were running around with the wannabe NASCAR paintjobs and massive dragster wings zip-screwed to the trunk lid? Remember how every snot-nosed pimply-faced high school kid would drive those bone-stock grocery-getters like they were a contestant...

    Camper Choices

    Nothing whatsoever.... until I'm paying one of em to work on my RV. I'm a dirty redneck and I wouldn't pay me either.

    Camper Choices

    Yes, I suppose thats true, it is my problem. Its my own reading and research that led me to believe I was buying something better, not some smarmy salesperson who smells like smoke and scrambled eggs. Like AH64ID mentioned, I think something happened during and after the covid sham. I think...

    Camper Choices

    Im a fairly handy fella, I can fix most camper stuff. And believe me, I have to fix plenty on this crappy GD. My complaints aren't about "its a trailer and repairs will need to be made", thats a no-brainer. My complaints are about the overall build quality and materials used from the factory...

    Camper Choices

    I've owned the GD for 5 years, I can tell all of you from first-hand experience and having owned at least 4 different makes of campers over the years (Layton, Rockwood, two Jaycos, and now this GD), the GD has been the worst of all of them. It was also by far the most expensive. Grand Design...

    Camper Choices

    ALL campers these days are overpriced junk. ALL of them. Sure, some might have more problems than others, but thats like saying a cow's ass is just a little less sh***y than a pig's. We did a TON of research before we landed on the GD in 2020, and we paid quite a scosch extra for it thinking we...

    Ram2021 2500 Diesel. Hitch is 2 5/8 not the standard 2 1/2.

    I have a 2024 3500 and I've noticed the same thing, very sloppy hitch fit. It moves around so much that the hitch pin is starting to hog out the pin hole. My 2006 2500, while it was a 2" receiver, fit like a glove and never had this issue. If it matters, my Husky WDH is a 2" so I use a Reese...
