    Anyone have advice on height of jack stands needed?

    I'm going to be installing an airlift kit soon on my 2500. I don't trust my old jack stands for a truck this big and heavy. Before I buy some, I was wondering if anyone has a recommendation for ratings, height etc? For the project at hand i know I need to be able to droop the rear axle and...

    Adding Airbags and Hellwig Sway Bar

    I ordered an Airlift 5000 kit with the internal jounce bumpers and a Hellwig Big Wig rear sway bar for my 2020 2500. Even though I'm within safe working weights I don't like the way the coil spring suspension rocks with a camper on. (I know, I was warned that would be the case) I fully recognize...

    Is there an aftermarket backup camera that plugs into factory wiring?

    As the title says, I'm wondering if there is an aftermarket backup camera available that plugs into the factory wiring? The reason I'm asking is because I bought a camper that will require me to remove the tailgate when using it. I was thinking that it would be a nice addition to mount a camera...

    Service 4wd light says it's in 4WD, but seems to be in 2.-update repaired

    Out hunting this morning and I used 4wd while turning around in slick spot. When i shifted back into 2WD it seemed fine, but something sounded a little funny. I stopped and shifted back into 4 and then to 2. It flashed the service 4WD message and the same message stayed on. Pushing the 2WD...

    Looking at new tires for stock 2020 2500 crew diesel. sizing input

    As the title says, I'm looking to replace my stock tires soon on my 2020 crew cab long bed. It's a diesel 4x4 with the offroad package. I'm going to go with Cooper ST Maxx based on my past experience with them on another truck and how I use my trucks. (lots of logging roads with heavy black rock...

    What is the best professionally applied bedliner?

    Is there a consensus on the best professionally applied bedliner product? Line-X looks pretty decent, and I've seen Rhino Liner hold up well, although I prefer the look of Line-X. Just wondering if I'm missing anything I should be looking for. I'm also looking at enlarging my drain holes in the...

    Adding airbags to my 2500, brand and style recommendations?

    I plan to add airbags to my 2500 soon. I've been reading what I can find as well as watching some installation videos. I'm planning to go with the manual fill option for now because I won't be using the air assist frequently. I'm looking at airlift 5000, Airlift 500o with the internal jounce...

    Slide in Camper with 2500/experiences or recommendations

    I'll start by saying I realize a 2500 is not the preferred platform for a slide in camper. Mine is crew cab, long bed, diesel. That being said I previously had an 8' camper I ran on an '89 F250 extended cab and towed my ski boat and it did fine and never felt unsafe. I'm aware that the 10k GVWR...

    Do these newer 6.7 get better milage with break-in?

    Do these newer 6.7 get better milage with break-in? I'm curious more than anything. I thought I'd heard no, but lately mine seems better. I'll start by saying I know the gauge that states MPG is overly optimistic. I've had my '20 since January of '21 and it usually shows 18.5, which seems to be...

    Whats a good cleaner for leaked/spilled diesel?

    I changed my fuel filters today and everything went smooth and clean...........or so I thought. I went out this afternoon to discover a big spot of diesel in the driveway. I started it up and discovered a pretty good leak coming out of the filter housing under the hood. Somehow I managed to...

    Good Diesel shop to work with in Western Washington? turbo/actuator issue

    My buddy's truck is having issues with the turbo. He's getting a code and sluggish performance intermittently, that goes away sometimes if he shuts it off and restarts. Just curious if anyone in Western Washington has a shop they recommend. I think it's a 2015 with about 100k on it

    Spare tire size-how much margin is acceptable?

    I'm planning to go up one size on my 2020 2500 Crew to a 295 on the stock wheels. I see a lot of talk on here about needing to match the spare. I understand the principle with limited slips, I just don't know if an inch in height is enough to make a difference. It seems like if they were that...

    Does anyone make polished forged 18" wheels ?

    I'm wondering if anyone makes forged aluminum wheels in 18" that would fit my 2500? I'll admit my tastes tend to be a little more old school. While I appreciate how sharp black wheels look on these trucks,they just aren't for me. I've bee looking around and the only forged,polished wheels I can...

    Burned Ram

    Saw what looked like a brand new crew cab flatbed burning this morning. The fire definitely originated in the engine compartment. Thankfully the guy driving it got pulled over and out safely. He made me a little nervous because he kept heading back to the truck and removing propane bottles, but...

    “Thump or Thunk” sound when braking- discovered cause I'm a dork

    Hey everyone, I’ll be getting an appointment to have the dealer look since I’m just inside of 36 months and only have 16k on my 2500 crew cab 4x4 Cummins. Today while approaching a stop sign at low to moderate speed I heard a thunk when applied the brakes. It sounds like it right under the...

    16k miles low coolant alert

    My 2020 2500 Cummins only has about 16k miles on it. I've been hunting this week and parked on a fairly steep slope. When I started up I got a low coolant alert. I checked it out and it was just under the minimum line. It's topped off now, but it's got me thinking. Did it come from factory low...

    Beware cheap trailer tires

    I replaced my boat trailer a few years ago and only have about 5k miles on the replacement. A few weeks ago, I was heading over a mountain pass on a 5.5-hour trip for vacation when I heard a "whoop" sound and felt a little shimmy. The truck is so heavy duty I really didn't feel much, but a quick...

    discovered some damage to my truck this weekend, good source for taillight lense?

    This weekend I found some light scuffs on my right rear quarter panel up high tapering down to my taillight lense which has a little crack/chip in it. I have no idea what happened. My wife drove it last week, but says nothing happened, so we're stumped. I buffed the scuffs out ok and I'm pretty...

    Fuel filter change- is this unusually dirty?

    I did my first fuel filter change today. Thanks everyone who gave me tips on proper documentation. I’d been hoping to do them at the same time as the fuel pump recall repair, but still waiting on that. These have about 12k on them and the filter life monitor was saying 10%. The front seems...
