    Diesel Preignition

    Ok, this is kinda a dumb question, but, in my defense, this has been my first diesel and I still find oddities now and again. My motor sounds like my motor from the 70' that needed more octane. It clatters quite a bit, or, it "sounds" like it anyway. Does the Cummins require an "octane" booster...

    Turbo low boost code

    This code keeps recurring on my 2020 2500 w/48k miles. Dealer keeps clearing the code and scratching their heads. They say "maybe" a crack in a hose. Anyone run into this issue? Performance dosen't seem to be degraded....any help will be appreciated. Thanks Ray

    Brake rotors

    It has been suggested to me that I might consider getting new rotors for a "shudder" issue I have under braking due to possible warpage. I'm not sure I want to put OEM rotors back on.......is there some other brand OTHER than OEM that you guys have used that you like and have had good success...

    Roof/Cab kayak rack input

    Well, I'm contemplating options on how to carry my kayak (LOL....AFTER I bought the damn thing) when pulling my 5th wheel. I thought I had it all figured out but overlooked a couple things. Ok, so, has anyone used a roof rack of any kind for the purpose of hauling a kayak? These racks that...

    Shocks

    I'm sure this question has been ask many times, maybe even by me, but I am going to change my OEM shocks and am having a tough time deciding between Bilstiens 4600's and Rancho RS5000's.

    Looking for a 3500

    Well, wife and I have decided to look for a 2019/2020/2021 Ram 3500 in a Longhorn or Longhorn/Laramie package with of course, the Cummins powerplant...hopefully with the HO motor. We went and test drove a 21 Chevy 3500 with the Duramax motor.....it was ok, lots of power and Allison tranny was...

I have nothing but positive things to say about my 2500, but......my wife has been chatting with me about our 5'r camper and more closet space and on and on....which would mean, a bigger (so to...

    Tires for 5'r pulling and comfort/ride while not pulling

    I put a set of Cooper Discovery HT3 XLT's on my 2020 Ram 2500 about 25k miles back and they have done me quite proud. It seems to be very wear on these tires. I am looking to the future for same or maybe different tire suggestions for more of a comfortable and quieter (not that these are loud...

    3.42 vs 3.73 gearing

    3.42 vs 3.73.....if you had your druthers for your 2500 Cummins pulling your 5'r, which one would you rather have? My reason for asking is, maybe going to trade my 2020 Ram for a 2020 GMC with Duramax with Allison 10 speed but it has 3.42 gearing. Thanks

    Filter usage % trouble?

    Ok, getting caught in the shorts.....fuel filters are back ordered, a couple of unexpected trips, filter % is down to 9%. This is my first diesel....do I need to worry about how low % is right now? Last time, I changed filters with much more % left. Could someone tell me about this? Thanks
