I've learned that passive regen is occurring at 650+ degrees (I think, depending what/who I listen to) but I have a heck of time getting the DPF to those temps. On the highway (empty), even at 80mph, the Banks EGT3 will usually show somewhere between 600 and 650, with the occasional short-lived...

My last three regens (which are always time-based at 24 hours, never soot-based) have all come at the very worst of times. Because I'm bored at the moment, let me share.... Most recent regen-- Taking the grandsons camping, we left the house and towed 3 hours north. It was dark by the time we...

I have the Uconnect 5 with NO NAV, I'm supposed to use my phone and Android Auto for NAV-- with which Uconnect 5 is supposedly compatible. However, the map just freaks out on the truck screen every time I connect my phone to it (Samsung S22) . It will locate me on the map, and it'll look ok for...

Something Ive noticed with my new truck that seems completely bass-ackwards. When I start the truck from cold, the cooling fan howls like mad. As the truck warms up, usually after just a cpl minutes, the fan disengages and the howl goes away. I never hear the fan again after that no matter how...

My new 285/75r18 tires get installed tomorrow and I fear the new tires, being taller, will look silly unless I level the front end. I have a LB CC so the standard forward rake appears more exaggerated than it does on a regular bed truck, and while I don't need any added clearance or modified...

I just spent the past hour searching for info on tire upsizing, found some helpful stuff but I'm looking for specific answers to my specific questions.... 1- Fit. I have a 2024 Bighorn 3500 SRW, stock tires are Trashfarce AT 275-70-18. I want to upsize to 295-70-18. I will use the Bighorn...

Anyone ever run Wild Country XTX tires? They're made by Cooper Tire under the Multi-Mile name and distributed by TBC Brands. Walmart has em in 295/70-18 for $199 apiece and I'm thinking about replacing/upsizing the 275/70-18 Trashforce before we head to Pismo Beach in a cpl months. Any user...

I'm looking at airbag kits from my '24 3500 SRW, came across the Torque brand kit. Has anyone used this kit who can offer some advice or experience? I know airbags don't increase payload, I just want to avoid sag as much as possible.

So Ive been doing alot of reading lately on multi-weight oils for our trucks, and Ive come to the very non-professional and barely educated conclusion that probably the best option for a year-round oil weight for the 19+ 6.7 (at least in the valley of Commiefornia where 30 degrees is COLD) would...

Any of you Bighorn or Tradesman owners with the "mid-line" instrument panel, I can't figure out how to see options such as trans temp or DPF regen info or any other parameters not already displayed by the stock gauge layout. Ive been thru my owners manual and it discusses the ability to scroll...

When discussing payload capacities, such as pin weight of a 5th wheel, it is often advised that the thing you really need to pay attention to is the rear axle weight rating. But since rated payload already accounts for axle weight ratings, why is this advice given? It seems to me that the rear...

I bought this truck in July ('24 3500 Bighorn CC LB HO SRW) and on the test drive I noticed it pulled fairly significantly to the right and the steering wheel was slightly clocked to about the 11 o'clock position when driving straight on the freeway (necessary to keep the truck going straight...

I did a forum search and couldn't find the obligatory "how many miles" thread, so here it is! How many miles have you racked up on your 4.5 gen (or 5th gen, depending on your perspective) Ram diesel truck? Please list year, model (2500, 3500), trim, standard or HO, and whether or not you've had...

My new truck is a 2024 Bighorn 3500 LB CC HO/Aisin. I've only had it 5 weeks so I'm still learning its quirks. I've noticed that when I start the truck from cold, there is a noticeable "rattle" from just behind the grill area, almost like the sort of racket an older AC compressor makes. Problem...

Just bought a 2024 3500. Got it home and grabbed the fabric zipper pouch of new truck stuff outta the glove box, assuming thats where the owner's manual would be. Nope! No owner's manual, just a few thin "quick-start" guides with very limited info. Next day, I called the dealership to let them...

I just bought a new 2024 Ram 3500 6.7 HO and am thinking about adding the IDash gauge to monitor certain parameters. On my previous truck, a 2006 Ram 2500 5.9, I had the IDash and used it with the Economind tuner and Banks brake. I loved it. I liked being able to monitor things like trans temp...

Just last month I purchased a new 2024 Ram 3500 Bighorn CC LB 4x4 HO/Aisin SRW. A dealership in Reno (two hours from me) had pretty much the exact truck I wanted, and since last month Ram dealerships stopped accepting new orders for 2024's and with inventories dwindling, I drove up there and...
