    2019 Truck cap/topper/camper shell thread

    I built an internal frame in mine so I could run an RTT for the family. Turned out pretty stout!

    2019 Ram 2500 hesitation issues

    Would be worth making sure you've got a new air filter in place as well. Check the fluid level in the transmission, make sure its not low or slipping.

    Tire Up Sizing/Up Grading

    I've been running 35x12.5" tires on a +18mm wheel offset since day one on my truck on stock suspension. I'm at 66k miles currently and the only rub is at full lock to the left if I'm backing up and hit a bump or transition. A heat gun will take care of it pretty quickly.

    Diesel repair shop Fort Worth Texas area

    My brother is down in the Weatherford area and has used NBS Diesel Performance and been pretty happy with them. They did some front end work and flushed and installed a deep oil pan on the transmission of his 2500. He's in Weatherford.

    Hard Shifts all of a sudden to 2nd and 6th gear - 68RFE

    My thought exactly is to get another new tranny on warranty if it needs replacing and then have it built and be done with the dealerships for good

    Hard Shifts all of a sudden to 2nd and 6th gear - 68RFE

    Definitely keep me posted on your prognosis! My replacement transmission is acting up like the initial did.

    Reinforcing my canopy for RTT install

    All finished. The only other piece I will add will be a removable cross bar near the rear to give some additional rigidity when driving on forest service roads

    Reinforcing my canopy for RTT install

    Got an opportunity to pickup an ikamper from my overlanding buddy on the cheap. I started looking at Alu-cab and RSI canopies but didn’t want to spend 4-5,000 on another canopy plus mine is already paint matched. So I set to work sourcing aluminum and steel unistrut. I swapped out all the...

    Hard Shifts all of a sudden to 2nd and 6th gear - 68RFE

    That's great to hear they stepped up and took care of it. My 2nd tranny hesitates pretty bad until it gets up to operating temp if i dont get the throttle into it heavy enough so we will see. I'm at 60,000 miles and have 3 years left on my powertrain. I'm at 25,000 miles with the second so I've...

    Falken 35x12.50r20 ATW

    The guy at the tire shop praised me for religiously rotating the coopers when he swapped in the Falkens because he couldnt believe how even the tread wear was. I laughed and said they were rotated once at 35,000 miles and his jaw dropped. It was pretty funny. I hope to rotate the Falkens a bit...

    Falken 35x12.50r20 ATW

    I run 60 in the rear loaded and unloaded. I tow a 12K toy hauler and a 10k dump trailer and daily drive mostly unloaded. That gave me a very even wear pattern for my last set of tires (Cooper Rugged Treks) that lasted 60K miles with 1 rotation.

    Falken 35x12.50r20 ATW

    I'm running the same and i run them 65 in the front and 60 in the rear. Pretty happy with the ride quality. Great tire.

    Towing a Brinkley - offset required?

    I ran a B&W turnover ball with a 5" offset ball and a Reese Goosebox on my last GD Reflection 31MB. It was a great setup and turning radius was not hindered much. I could get to about 75-80 degrees without too much worry of cab strike assuming the ground was relatively level. The towing manners...

    Camper Shell compatibility

    I made a cap plug to plug into my fifth wheel 7 pin in the bed. Works great and kept me from having to splice any wires and no hanging wires if I need to take the cap off.

    Camper Shell compatibility

    I grabbed a pre-2019 canopy for my 2022 with the 3rd brake light camera. I had to push the canopy back about a 1/4" to clear. You would never notice it from an aesthetics standpoint. If the color is a match snag that thing! $500 is a good deal if its in good shape.

    NEW 2024 3500 Diesel 2000 miles DEAD transmission!

    My tranny in my 2022 blew at 35,000 miles last year. Took 2 months with no loaner offered as well. Extremely frustrating situation but the new transmission has been good for the last 21,000 miles. hope you get resolution soon. I rented a 2500 pickup when they didn't provide the loaner and they...

    Hard Shifts all of a sudden to 2nd and 6th gear - 68RFE
