    2020 Ram 3500 Flatbed install

    What brand is the bed? I like the look. Kind of combines the look of an expedition style and utility style.

    Dashboard lights up itself

    I believe this is the truck sensing the key fob. My 2021 does the same thing, until I slip my fob into its aluminum case. Yes, I'm one of those that keeps my key in a faraday case :)

    Very Interesting Oil Pan Engineering Video

    This showed up in my email today. I am indifferent with regards to Banks products, but I do own an iDash and have been very happy with it. I was thinking of getting a Banks Monster Ram to protect against the grid heater bolt, but after doing some research, I decided that other brand solutions...

    Aisin transmission fluid change

    I purchased a new transmission crossmember with the plan of modifying it as others have done for easier fluid changes. I am trying to decide if I should remove a continuous notch, following the shape of the pan, or doing radius reliefs at each bolt location. I figure I would use a hole saw at...

    Grid Heater Bolt Failure

    In the last day or two, the temperature has been a few degrees warmer, and the truck starts with a singe tap of the start button. Who knows what hooks are built into the programming!

    Grid Heater Bolt Failure

    My CEL lights up after every three double-tap cold starts now. The relay has been disconnected since the relay issue was first announced. Up until about 2-3 months ago, I only triggered a CEL once when I didn't do the double-tap quick enough. My truck is a 2021 H.O. that I ordered and received...

    Clearing Fault Codes/CELs

    I can chime in on this myself. I have 2021 SB 3500 4x4 H.O. I ordered the truck and received it in May of 2021, just about the time that the first warnings of the faulty grid heater relays surfaced. When I read about the bad relays, I disconnected mine from the battery and waited patiently for...

    @Dinky503 Been following your thread on this issue. Does this apply to your situation?

    Oil drain plug torque

    35 lbs. ft. on my 2021 HO. I would guess it is the same for the newer models as well.

    DEF usage !

    I get right at 600 mpg of DEF usage when not pulling. Pulling a 5th wheel, I get right at 300 mpg. This is a 2021 3500 SB with the H.O. I can get you the exact figures, but these are within a few miles per gallon of the hand calculated use.

    Guaranteed "No Mess" Rear Fuel Filter Removal Tool

    Nice! This is even simpler than mine. What exactly is the rubber "seal" you used?

    I need new batteries. Why?

    I ordered a new truck in 2004 with the H.O. diesel. My batteries lasted 17 years in that truck! I only replaced them because i thought the motor was beginning to turn over a bit slower than normal when cold starting. I can only hope I get half that out of my 2021!

    Oil filter wrench

    The oil filter is nowhere near the firewall. I have seen some that make a small notch in the plastic inner fender, on the passenger side, to allow a little more access to the filter. It isn't really needed though.

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Here's what I made. Absolutely clean filter replacement, without a single drop escaping!

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    I bet he is going to modify it to make transmission servicing easier. I am currently looking for a used one as well for that same purpose.

    Bank's Monster Ram Air install on MY23 Rebel

    It looks like you were able to remove the intake plate without completely removing the fuel rail. Did you have to loosen the #5 and #6 fuel lines to swap the plate out?

    Loss of Power

    I believe that the fix is the Banks Pedal Monster. My truck does not suffer from this very often, and now that I am aware of the issue, I try to drive accordingly. If it starts to happen more often, then i will install the Pedal Monster.

    Loss of Power

    Dead pedal syndrome? Sounds like what my 2021 H.O. does at times under rapid acceleration.

    Blue Def Usage 2021 Ram 2500

    I have a 2021 3500, HO, shortbed 4x4. Everything is stock, including the tires. I have 18,000 miles on it and track all my fuel and DEF usage using exact quantities. My average DEF usage over the 18,000 miles 480 MPG. The breakdown between towing a 5th wheel and running empty is 600 MPG when...
