    Fuse type?

    On the left is the OE fuse. On the right is the "micro" fuse I bought. Clearly not correct. What is the type I need?

    Are any gooseneck balls better than others?

    I'm shopping trailers. Might possibly end up with a gooseneck. My truck does have the 5th wheel prep so I think I'm golden, all I need is a ball and the safety chain connections. Are there any particular gooseneck balls that are better? Or are they all about the same?

    Off Road ride height

    Do the 2500 Off-Road package trucks sit higher? If so, is it just longer coil springs?

    Gooseneck vs Bumper Pull

    I'm looking at 14k rated equipment trailers. Roughly 24' long. I'm seeing gooseneck and bumper pull both in this spec. All my trailers over the years have been bumper pull. What are the advantages of gooseneck? Thought I'd pick your brains in case there are things I hadn't thought about...

    Keep Gear Indicator on Always?

    Is there a magical way to make the gear indicator default to always on? not R/N/D but the actual gear the transmission is currently in? It's annoying having to use the buttons to pull that up on the screen each time, and even without turning the truck off each shift out of drive resets it. Ugh...

    Will 17" wheels clear the brakes?

    I've got a set of practically new 35x12.50R17 tires. But will a 17" wheel fit the new Rams? Or are the brakes too large?

    Do ALL 6.7 SO engines get 3.42 gears?

    Used to be, under the line item for the diesel engine, it also showed a change to 3.42 axle ratio. My truck does not show this. It never mentions any other ratio besides the 3.73 ratio that’s standard. Anyway, I towed an enclosed trailer last weekend. Probably around 11k total weight. Truck...

    68RFE shifting feel

    Question for you guys with 68RFEs... My truck has 46k miles on it. The trans shifts VERY firm. As in, it feels like the old days when guys would put "shift kits" in their transmissions. If I leave a red light, and apply 50-60% throttle and hold it there, the truck will actually bark the...

    Telescoping steering wheel?

    One thing I do not like about my Tradesman is the lack of a telescoping wheel. When I get the seat where my legs are comfy and my feet aren't bent weird to use the pedal, my arms are almost straight out. Ram didn't do a very good job designing this for men. Does the Bighorn 2500 have a...

    Trailer outlet won't stay in

    The 4/7 pin outlet keeps popping out of the bumper. Both silver metal tabs are still on the sides of the outlet, but when I push the outlet back into the bumper it never "clicks" and holds. What's up with this? Anybody else seen this issue?

    F-250 vs. Ram 2500 thoughts

    I had a '19 F-250 CC 4x4. It was bone stock until 100k then I deleted it. It was a standard F-250...no camper package, heavy duty payload package, nothing. Just standard F-250 suspension. Now I have a '24 Ram 2500 CC 4x4 which is bone stock. Also standard suspension, no upgrades. Both...

    Warranty Concern

    I just bought a used '24 6.7 truck. It has 46k miles, so technically it should have 3 years or 54k miles of factory powertrain warranty remaining. BUT, the Carfax shows first oil change at 13k, second at 33k, and last one at 46k just before I purchased it. I'm afraid that in the event of a...

    Can the 12V be swapped to ignition power only?

    The 12V outlet on the top of the dash....I found out today via the owners manual that it stays hot 100% of the time. Is it possible to switch this to only being hot with ignition on? I had a truck several years ago where you could swap a relay or fuse to a different position and change the...

    Went shopping for a HD truck finally....

    I've been bugging guys on this forum, as well as the Ford forum, for years. Gathering information about HD trucks and thinking about what I want to buy with plans to keep it forever. Well, I *finally* made a decision and brought a truck home. It's a 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Supercrew 4x4...

    How many miles is too many?

    A 2016 3500 MegaCab Laramie Cummins with 171k, very clean inside and out. Frame looks great. No rust anywhere I can find. Super nice truck minus the miles. Clean Carfax. They're asking mid $30k range for the truck. Should I pass?

    Curb weight base model 2500

    Anybody here have a truly BASE model Ram 2500, crew cab 4x4 with Hemi engine? Have you ever weighed it to see where it tips the scales?

    Looking at a 2018

    Looking at a 2018 model Tradesman 2500 with Cummins. 100,000 miles exactly on the odo. I drove the truck and the steering feels tight with no slop, brakes feel great, engine starts and runs great and seems to have good power compared to some used ones I’ve driven. Truck has typical dirty...

    What do y'all make of all these bent frames?

    NOT trying to start a flame war. I'm just seriously wanting to know. I've seen several Ram 3500 trucks, some dually, with frames that are bent between the cab and bed around my neck of the woods. Obviously if you look around online there are Rams with bent frames from hauling pallets of...

    Bighorn or Tradesman Diesel Lease?

    I realize it's not as common on HD trucks. But I just want to know if anybody here leases and what's the payment look like?

    2017 Tradesman Power Wagon?

    For the 2017 model year, did the Ram 2500 Tradesman have a stand-alone Power Wagon package like it does now, or was it simply a single trim level back then? My dealer took a 2017 PW in on trade but they have no pictures of it yet. 75,000ish miles they say, asking low $30k money for it. I'm...
