    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    I’ve thought about the hemi ( except fuel economy has to be terrible at highway speeds of 75 mph ) I got rid of a 2021 F-350 with 7.3 Godzilla V8 gasser. At highway speeds fuel economy was 9.8 empty. Wanted to order a 2023 with power stroke dealership laughed said good luck. CEO Farley is trying...

    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    Went by there today to see about recall for DPF, they told me I’m 3rd in-line. As to your question about dealer looking at it, yes just before my trip to Montana for a bear hunt. That’s when they told me about recall for DPF SENSOR, they tried to check for software updated but couldn’t because...

    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    Hard starting. I live 25 miles from town and never drive a distance of less than 15 miles. Breaking in engine and wanted to keep first few oil changes close. Plan on going 12,500 per change. Most of my trips are couple of hundred miles at a time. Hauling the trailer I could never go more than...

    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    Didn’t matter road conditions, RAM built the truck with multiple recalls. Now they have to add a DPF Sensor and re-program truck ( 4th ) recall. I’m constantly getting a dpf plugged reading of 50%, idles rough as hell and hard starting. My toy hauler is about 8,800 pounds empty, I can tow it on...

    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    I would argue that the standard 6.7 Cummins isn’t worth the money. Not sure if the H.O. with Aissin tranny is any better. Seriously thinking of dumping RAM for Ford F-350 with power stroke and 10 speed tranny

    Excessive fuel consumption while towing?

    Just came back from Montana with my 2022 RAM 2500 Crew Cab with 6.7 S.O. I only managed to get 8 - 9 mpg with Cummins. For the cost of def, oil changes and anti gel fluid it’s not worth the money.

    Heated steering wheel issue

    I have a 2022 RAM HEAVY DUTY CREW CAB with the 6.7 SO CUMMINS. The problem with mine was a loose fuse I pushed it back in and was good for a couple of weeks. Started doing it again, so I checked bolts holding fuse box in place and found all were loose to varying degree. And tightened them up and...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    Just curious is there anything we can use to clean the DPF and the rest of fuel system. Saw an add for RISLONE for DPF, Exhaust and Emissions cleaner

    Oil, Fuel filters and air filter changes

    Thinking about doing own service, the problem is the cost of filters from dealer. I found a place that claims to sell Mopar filters as well as Cummins brand. I’m wondering if place is legit it’s called KLM PERFORMANCE out of Conneticutt. Any suggestions ?

    Fuse box

    No, but I continually need to check and push in fuses that must be vibrating loose. The heated steering wheel is what originally started my checking for fuses not completely seated. Has came loose more than once

    Fuse box

    Just curious what torque is for nut in fuse box. Seems like vibration / torque of motor causes constant loosening of fuses. Any suggestions appreciated

    Front coil springs

    Beef up rear suspension so it doesn’t drop so much with 1250Lbs of tongue weight

    Front coil springs

    Ok, are they taller ? Heavier capacity ? Can I use them on my rear suspension and are they the same diameter as the 2500

    Front coil springs

    So first time RAM owner and since I have a 2500 Bighorn Crew Cab I know nothing about the front suspension of RAM 3500’s. Do they have coil springs and if so are they different from 2500 ?

    Heated steering wheel issue

    Check fuses in fuse box they vibrate loose. I had same issue on my 2022 2500 Bighorn Crew Cab, I found a lot of fuses and some relays not seated completely.

    Clunking noise

    Thanks for getting back with me, I’m taking my truck into dealer tomorrow for heater grid relay replacement . I’m having ready lift blocks installed on my truck and they were able to tighten body mounts and eliminated clunking noise. Also, want to mention I’ll be running Fleetgard filters and...

    Clunking noise
