    Train Horn Mounting Locations

    I think train horns are yet another tool to use against people that might want to impede my path while they’re protesting some boogey man. In my case, I don’t have the horns…..yet, so they get the ranch hand up close and personal.

    What are you running for a console vault/safe?

    I can neither confirm nor deny if I have said object….console vault, Laramie, under center seat console….

    2021 3500 HO Cummins won’t crank

    Although I buy batteries at Wally World, I don’t let them touch my truck…..they are even worse than the dealerships in my book. Sometimes, we don’t have a choice and I understand, but that is my stance at this point in life.

    I have had one on my 21 coming up on 5years now. Still looks like new.

    2025-2027 Cummins R&P Ratios

    I looked long and hard before I bought my truck, 4:10 gear was a must for me. Sad that they don’t offer it anymore but if you want it now, you are going to pay. Nothing is cheap and easy. My advice would be to skip the 3.73 and go right to 4.10. My 17 had 3.42, my 01 has 3.55. Both of those...

    UO1OE after replacing DPF Sensor (3rd time in a year)

    Anybody else detect an ai bot possibly? Repack the wheel bearings? Tech subscription? Double charge on cam? My spidey senses are gearing up.

    2025+ Active Grill shutter operation

    I have yet to install the winter front on my ‘21. I do not drive it much in the winter unless roads are dry, but my thinking on it is that the thermostat and shutters do their job and no real need for the cover. If I was in Canada, or the interior of Alaska, it would be a different story. My 01...

    UO1OE after replacing DPF Sensor (3rd time in a year)

    Looks like they charged for the cam itself, twice. Also, after a Hamilton conversion, 15-40 is the recommended oil. How many miles on this truck?

    2014 5500 rear axle blown

    Be aware that you maybe looking at putting in a new transfer case as well. Driving on pavement in 4wd is extremely hard on it. Ask me how I know? Been there done that. In my case, the axle shafts and spiders were worn out and drove it home in 4wd, approximately 8-9 miles. Did the axles and...

    UO1OE after replacing DPF Sensor (3rd time in a year)

    That stuff should have fell off after the 1st trip to the dealer…

    General maintenance advice please

    AAA membership or something like it and do the belt, or at least have it with you, do the flush and fill and keep an eye on fluids and do oil changes regularly and should be fine. Duct tape, electrical tape, fuses, spare fluids, a small tool kit, jack, etc. are good to have along

    Low coolant light

    I occasionally get the light. Have been for several years now. All is well.

    Blower motor removal

    Did you find signs of mice? Although I can’t help you on the blower motor on the ‘19, my 01 had mice and I would turn on blower and blow all kind of shredded material out the vents. Turns out that they had a nice “crib” built right against the heater core. My son took care of that when he...

    2025 Ram

    Thank you Jimmy07 for pointing this out. The fuel filter changes should have been painfully obvious for everyone. Bottom line, I want to hear how good of a deal acm85 gets. Let’s also not forget, trucks are only “perfect” sitting on the lot once….life happens, first boo boo is the worst, but we...

    New Ram HDs in 2027 or 2028

    Maybe not the same company, but still popped up in the search as the right product. Anyway, I do have the kit on my truck and it works flawlessly. Honestly, I don’t use it a lot, but it is there when I want it, like backing the toy hauler up grade into tight spots at slower speed.

    2019-2025 Major Differences

    I have a 21, but if I were looking, I would look to 18 and back. Or, give it another year or so and look at a new one….mosts bugs will be exposed by then.
