    Let's see your Ram in cool places!

    Had a similar thread on the 4Runner forum I was in and it was cool to see where people were taking their vehicles and what other places in the US looked like. I thought I'd try the same thing here. Here's my pickup yesterday when I was out hiking for morel mushrooms in Idaho. I found a...

    Who else hates campgrounds?

    I grew up in Idaho with three siblings and a stepfather that was a young policeman. We were poor. Not destitute, but not spending money on vacations every summer. But, we had a `74 Dodge W150 and a pickup bed camper, so our vacations were camping within about 300 miles of our home in Northern...

    How much can this thing tow?

    I bought a used ambulance to convert into a motorhome for weekend camping trips. The plan is to get it converted, then use it tow a trailer to the camp spot, then use the ATV to explore. However, I also have a Jeep Wrangler Unlimited 4xe on 35s that would make a nice logging road explorer...

    Bought a used IH ambulance. Now what?

    I am on a public auction site primarily for land in AZ that gets abandoned due to non-payment of taxes. But when there are no land sales, I will see what other items are available in my area. Couple of weeks ago I see an auction pop up for a very nice heavy duty ambulance 300 miles from me...

    Might win an auction for this ambulance. Then what?

    I was perusing a public auction site looking for land in AZ to buy when I came across an auction for an ambulance. Normally, I have no use for a used ambulance, but this rig is in great shape and a few hours from me. It was bid up to $1500. I put in a bid for $4k. Then I started searching...

    Milestar tires ignoring me. Time to go nuclear?

    I bought a set of Milestar Patagonia X/T tires in 37" for my pickup about three weeks ago from Discount Tire. On the 75-mile trip home, I noticed that they were not properly balanced. Since the cost of going back to Discount Tire in terms of fuel and time was excessive, I just went to a local...

    Why is tire noise a thing?

    I have been driving and modifying vehicles for over 40 years and in all that time, and dozens of vehicles, only one vehicle had tire noise that was noticeable and obnoxious. It was a 1979 Dodge W100 that was lifted and on 36" Interco Super Swampers. I owned it in 1990 while stationed on Kauai...

    How bad is all that extra weight up front with a new bumper and winch?

    I added a cheap Chinese steel bumper up front and a 16.5k winch. The bumper was about 100lbs and the winch another 70. I didn't notice any issues at all with the minor weight increase. But, I want to upgrade the bumper to something higher quality such as a Steelcraft bumper, and the one I...

    Going to 37s with the wrong offset; what's going to rub?

    Currently have a 2024 diesel with a 2.5" leveling kit and Mickey Thompson Baja Boss AT pizza cutters in LT255/85R17 on 8" rims with a 0 offset. Great tires, but am taking the truck on a road trip and will be doing a fair amount of trail running in the desert and wanted a wider and taller tire...

    Cheapest option to soften the ride?

    I herniated a disk at work back in August. I've been going to therapy and finally was declared as good as it gets with my condition. Basically, I'm 57 years old and have been abusing my body for 50 years. I've had a lot of fun, but now I have a bunch of arthritis in my back, some still mildly...

    First road trip with a diesel; best fuel sources?

    I'm going on my annual 3000-mile road trip from Washington state to the Arizona/Mexico border and back in March. I've only done in it either a lifted 4Runner or a lifted Jeep Wrangler, so this trip in the Ram will be a treat. My first oil change was done at 3900 miles using Rotella 5-40w T6...

    Camera system unavailable.

    This started glitching the other day. Was off and on, and now it's permanent. It's not just the back up camera, but all of the cameras. I thought it was just a loose connection, but not so sure with all camera's affected. Taking it in for repair, but was curious if anyone else had this...

    What did you do WITH your Ram today thread?

    Is there a thread for sharing what fun, tragic, stupid, or boring stuff you did today WITH your Ram HD? I know on my Jeep JL forum, they have both the "What did you do WITH", and the "What did you do TO" threads. Here, I only see the "What did you do TO" thread. I made the mistake of sharing...

    Affordable ditch light brackets for the 2500.

    Apparently some folks have had issues finding them and thought the only option out there was some boutique shop $200 brackets. I bought these last week off of Amazon for $59 and they arrived in 3 days, good quality, and were a perfect fit...

    Other Vehicle Fun...

    My other automotive vehicle is a 2024 Jeep Wrangler UL 4xe that is mildly built and used as a daily driver and weekend exploration rig. My girlfriend and I took it on an exhausting but epic 10hr/185 mile drive from the Idaho/Washington border over into Idaho, and then into the deep Idaho...

    Tattoos?

    Does the perfect diff cover for me exist??

    I thought with the popularity of the Ram 2500 Cummins, that there would be a plethora of choices in differential covers and I could find one that checks all the boxes. Apparently not. 2024 Ram 2500 with coil springs, no air, 6.7 Cummins regular motor... Only light towing, but some...

    Winch bumpers and intercooler radiator issue?

    Because Ram decided to mount the radiator for the intercooler in the worst spot ever for a 4x4 pickup, I'm wondering if anyone has had any cooling issues after installing a front winch, which has to go directly in front of the radiator in order to be inline with the frame and bumper mounts. How...
