I finally got it to the dealer for a brake software reflash that was on recall. No problems found and this is the first time I had it back to the dealer and it was only for the recall. I figure this is a isolated incident and am not going to worry about it any farther.

I am updating this because Metal CLoak is having a 25% off sale in April 2026 on Ram suspension parts. Rear springs that offer a heavier weight rating for our PW $269 for the 4.5 + inch rear springs and $299 for the 3.5 inch and shipping is free. This will net a 2 or 3 inch lift in the rear on...

I have never had fo back to the dealer for anything. I know there is a brake reflash recall and tailgate adjustment recall. O might have to take it back to the dealer just for the recall updates. I am not worried about. I had to do the battery disconnect several times on my Challenger Hellcar...

I was driving my PW today it started doing funny stuff. The transmission would not go above 5 the gear. At first I thought it had somehow been shifted into low range. The axle unlock button was blinking and would not stop flashing. I cycled the transfer case lever several times and all seemed to...

When Marcus installed my sliders he took several pictures and measurements of my sensors and was working with others. I am sure they work with sensors and has block off plates for those trucks who don't have the sensors.

Dethloff MFG. announced a new rear armored bumper for the 2500/3500 Ram trucks. It adds higher rear clearance and has a modular design with a drawer for those who have relocated their spare tires. I saw the proto type a while back in his shop and this looks very strong.

I think the traction on the Dethloff sliders is much better. The dimples on the WK provide very little grip compared to the Dethloff sliders.

Doc, I agree and glad that the SDHQ skid can be used as a lifting point on the inner support frame they supplied.

The rear Thuren track bar can be a bitch to install from what I have read. I had a local shop do mine and they confirmed what I said.

I think the inlets on the after market front skid plates are meant to let air flow over the inner cooler for the Cummins diesel turbo.

Just a observation on air flow for helping to cool the engine. I recently took the front air dam off the PW and installed a SDHQ front skid plate in its place. I noticed that the hood has more flutter to it now when driving on the freeway at 80 mph. It seems the skid plate with its open plate...
