I have a Cummins in my HD but in my 4th gen Ram 1500 this spark plug socket was the key to making it way easier to change the plugs. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0014ZVSVK I don't know if it would help on the 6.4 but I bet it would. A topside creeper is also helpful.

We recently upgraded my wife from a Chevy Bolt EUV to an Equinox EV before the tax credit expired and now I daily the Bolt. They make great commuter cars, especially with what utility rates are here in Alabama.

Has anyone installed the Integral Trucks rail kit on their truck? What do you think of them? This is what I am looking at. https://integraltruck.com/collections/ram-hd-2500-3500-integral-panels/products/integral-rail-kit-ram-2019-hd-standard-bed-64 I'm not sure it's worth the cost but I like how...

Mine does the same thing a lot of the time. It will clear on mine by shifting back into park. I took it to the dealer and of course they said that they couldn't replicate it and I asked them to install any software updates anyways and they said there weren't any. Of course they also said they...

My son has had to replace the rear bumper on his truck. It is a painted bumper and he ordered an unpainted one and is trying to spray it himself to save money. He bought Duplicolor spray cans from O'Reilly's that are supposed to be the same as Ram's "bright white" and the color matches but the...

I think you are thinking of the Tow Technology Plus package that adds the "Trailer Reverse Steering Control". The package that the OP posted does not contain that and does not remove aux switches.

Sorry, I thought The Drive was just an automotive news site.

[MOD: replaced link with approved agency link] https://www.epa.gov/newsreleases/iowa-state-fair-epa-administrator-zeldin-announces-diesel-exhaust-fluid-def-fix It sounds like DEF limp mode changes are coming and they won't be nearly as harsh. "It’s a similar story with heavy-duty pickups...

I am planning to buy the Bak Revolver x4ts for this same use case. It has t-slots for a rack.

If you have a Rural King where you live their brand DEF is about as cheap as you'll find anywhere. It is comparable to pump prices. https://www.ruralking.com/prime-guard-ultra-pure-def-diesel-exhaust-fluid-2-5-gallons-prim00250

If I'm not mistaken the Aisin transmission calls for the Mopar ASRC transmission fluid or Mobil 3309. I don't think any others are "approved" but I am not an expert. There certainly could be other options that meet the requirements.

It has to be bracing. I have a friend that unhooked a gooseneck trailer and then closed the tailgate out of habit before trying to drive away and that truck now has outward divots on it and that truck has never hauled anything like gravel in the bed.

An alternate option would be to get the night edition and then swap the leather to a color of your choosing. You could go with the factory dark red option or something completely custom. That would get rid of all the chrome on the interior as well IIRC since it's a limited. That way you wouldn't...

I know that the 5.7 had issues with exhaust manifold bolts/studs breaking. Even the aftermarket ARP eventually break. On my 2010 1500 I had to do them at 40k and 210k but I don't consider that a major issue even it is is somewhat common. There are far fewer reports of that on the 6.4 and I...

Has anyone used a SyneticUSA Tonneau Cover? I am considering this one https://www.syneticusa.com/collections/ram-1500/products/ram-1500-standard-bed-off-road-pro-auto-retractable-hard-tonneau-cover because it's a $1000 less than a Retrax Pro XR, seems to have similar features, and the canister...
