    Rattle Noise In Cab

    I have a 2024 6.4 2500. I too have the rattle/clink from right rear cab area. I’m wondering if anyone has had any luck fixing this on 2024 models?

    Towing 9k trailer with 2500 and 6.4 hemi

    Hi Everyone- I have a 2024 Ram 2500 CC Tradesman with 6.4 Hemi and 4.10 gears. I am looking at buying a TT that’s 7800 pounds unloaded, probably 9000 or so loaded. From what I’ve read many people comfortably tow this weight, and more with my truck. I just wanted to check and make sure I can...

    Hot engine light on briefly in cold weather

    I have a nearly new 2024 2500 with 6.4 hemi and only 8K miles. While commuting on the highway this morning the hot engine light came on for about 2 seconds, then went off. When I checked the coolant temp right after it was about 217. The rest of my drive temps were between 209-224. Light never...

    245/70R17 on HD ram?? Why?

    What are all the specs for your wheels/tires? Was thinking of doing 35s on an 18” wheel with a zero offset

    2022 3500 Creaking Noise In Steering Column/Wheel

    Yeah. I don’t know how many I need to test drive to convince myself that most of these will make the same noise. I feel like any truck or SUV I test drive has some kind of noise. Whether it’s a rattle in the dash, or something else. My last Ram I owned had a buzzing hood release cord.

    Does snow plow prep group change suspension?

    Looking at different 2500 models and wondering if the HD snow plow prep group changes the springs they use in the front end? I’m never going to plow snow, and dont want stiffer springs to give a harsher ride. Window sticker lists a skid plate and an alternator. I didn’t find a consensus during...

    I’m in Denver. Thanks for the offer, I’m looking to grab some method wheels here pretty soon!

    2022 3500 Creaking Noise In Steering Column/Wheel

    The noise I heard wasn’t a click, but more like rubbing on leather. My truck broker said the dealership GM said all the 2024 rams are making the noise

    2022 3500 Creaking Noise In Steering Column/Wheel

    I’m in the process of buying a 24’ 2500. I test drove two trucks so far and both had the steering noise rubbing issue. Brand new.

    245/70R17 on HD ram?? Why?

    Makes sense. But starting out with smaller tires/wheels won’t limit the size of tires/wheels I can move up to right? I don’t think they would make a smaller wheel well or other components for the tradesman’s with the 245s I assume

    245/70R17 on HD ram?? Why?

    So there isn’t anything structurally different in a 2500 tradesman (suspension, wheel well size etc) that comes with the 245 tires compared to a tradesman that comes with the 275 tires right? Same truck just smaller tires/wheels? I know the snow chief/snow prep package has some extras, and the...

    245/70R17 on HD ram?? Why?

    I’m looking at buying a 2024 2500 ram tradesman and I’m seeing so many with these tiny 245 tires that look absolutely ridiculous. I always buy different tire/wheels when I get a truck anyways, but I’m shocked that Ram could put tires like this on a truck and think it looks right. I usually at...

    2024 Ram 2500 Steering wheel column noise

    Hi- I am in the process of buying a 2024 2500 6.4L tradesman. I’m working with a broker, and both of the trucks he’s shown me have a subtle sound coming from the steering column. I wouldn’t describe it as a grinding sound, but more like something is stretching or rubbing. There is no friction or...

    First Regen? New diesel owner

    Lots of data here and a lot to learn. As a science teacher I’m very into it all. I’m trying not to be paranoid, and to use this as a motivator to get out on weekends and explore beautiful Colorado. I will be doing a significant amount of in city driving, and some short hops taking kid to...

    First Regen? New diesel owner

    Thank you for all this info. But I’m still asking the same question: To make up for short hops, what frequency and duration do I need to get this truck on the highway? We are an active family, and have lots of short trips to mountains on weekends and such.
