    New HD owner

    Some years back I towed a 30 foot TT with an F150 and switched to an F250. Not only was the truck heavier, but the different gearing also contributed to an overall improvement in the towing experience. Congrats on the new ride.

    Height and Parking Garages

    Parking garage construction can vary. In other words, the concrete beams are not all necessarily the same height from the deck and ramps between floors can be particularly hazardous where they transition between flat and slope. When I worked in Charleston (WV) I drove an F350 dually that had a...

    2025 Power Wagon Tail lights issue while hooked up to trailer

    Not sure I like that! Instead of coming up with new automatic junk they should concentrate on getting the old automatic junk to work correctly...

    2025 Power Wagon Tail lights issue while hooked up to trailer

    Mine has a trailer light test selection but I have to initiate it. It doesn't do it on its own.

    DEF QUESTION

    Especially in winter. If you are in an area that gets cold enough, DEF can freeze without causing a problem, but frozen water expands and a full tank will rupture which is something you do not want to have to mess with.

    Waaaay to much base on the factory stereo.

    Not that I know much but I always thought the negative side of the scale increased the bass response. I've got mine on -2 (IIRC) and treble on +1 and I think it sounds great. Much, much better than our 2004 OEM JBL (9 speaker) equipped 4Runner.

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    On mine the divider flips up and seems to be quite a bit wider. I’m going to have to take another look at it.

    First road trip with a diesel; best fuel sources?

    No, this was on a Ford which has a low fuel flow warning indicator. Perhaps I wasn't clear, so your warning concerning the anti-gel versus de-gel additive is on point. I would say in my case the temperature had reached the point where the fuel was between cloudy and gelled. In other words, the...

    How wrecked are your local dealers service departments?

    I bought my 2017 F350 DRW new and started working for an RV transport company in Indiana part time. I was averaging 3500 miles a week and the Ford service near me rotated the front tires, changed my oil and filters and topped off fluids for $300.00 (IIRC). In theory they were also checking...

    Diesel fuel tap ideas ?

    On the frame mounted filter there is a drain valve, why not just use that?

    First road trip with a diesel; best fuel sources?

    There was always that transitional time of year where I would leave a warm part of the country and head into a cold part, or the weather itself would change drastically overnight. For those times when I had a tank of "summer" fuel I would add an anti gel to the tank until I was sure the stations...

    First road trip with a diesel; best fuel sources?

    Once when I was out west I purchased 50 gallons of Sinclair diesel and the truck ran noticeably better on it. Power was up and mileage also went up dramatically. On this side of the country I used BP primarily because I got a discount but so many of their stations closed that I switched to...

    Extra Interior Storage ideas in my new 2026 Limited Mega Cab

    In order to get the back seat flat the bottom cushions go down to the floor, so storing under the seat is a no-go. I usually only fold the seat back down which forms a barrier to keep small items from sliding forward. I keep ratchet straps and such in the storage compartment on the driver's...

    Night Edition delete? '22 2500 Limited Megacab Patriot Blue

    Night Edition vehicles were cool the first 500 times I saw them, now it's been done to death. Especially blacked out wheels. Chrome does provide a hard, easy to maintain surface. Our Lincoln has polished stainless steel trim, that's the way to go in my opinion. You should be able to easily find...

    railyard frustration

    That's why some people, like me, end up with "not exactly" what they wanted. In order to buy off the lot and get the model and options I wanted I had to go with a 2500 instead of a 3500 HO. I wasn't going to wait weeks or months when I needed a new truck NOW.

    New Member, Some Friendly Advice Requested

    Is there a 5th generation? I don't really keep up with this sort of thing very well, but I do feel my '23 embodies all that is the best Ram has to offer in any year thus far. You might want to reconsider the diesel though. It's a lot more maintenance than a gasser, especially if you don't...

    New Tire Search

    The LTXs are what I had on my dually. The Bridgestones have a good reputation and used to be popular with the Jeep crowd IIRC. Edit: "Mediocre" is being kind.

    New Tire Search

    I had Michelins on an F350 DRW that worked well for transporting RVs. I averaged 80,000 miles per set on those tires. However, the only way to get that truck to move on wet grass was in 4WD. An empty dually has less traction than a SRW pickup, but generally speaking, tires that provide higher...
