    5w-40 whoops

    I usually follow the manufacturer recommendations in the owners manual, I figure they know more than me usually. My truck runs quiet, hardly any valve train noise and doesn’t use any measurable oil between changes. I have no problem running 5-40 but my climate doesn’t fall below 0° where the...

    Is this a normal amount of transmission leak?

    Most all of my Ram Cummins have seeped like that when new. Clean it off and keep an eye on it but more than likely main seal assembly lube

    2025 3500 Laramie Ventilated Seats Stretching

    Just an up date, I got the new warrantied seat cover installed and all the recall updates done Thursday/Fri. It looks much better and the dealer seemed to do a good job from what I've seen so far anyway. Apparently somehow a fire was lit! I don't think my dealer is thrilled with me however but...

    New truck but not happy with the paint job!

    My 2025 Laramie has an area under the passenger front door that looks thin, flat and orange peel like. Its just above the drip edge approximately. a foot long and 3" wide. I took it in and the dealer body shop wasn't surprised saying a lot of new ford and Ram trucks come in like that nowadays...

    2025 3500 Laramie Ventilated Seats Stretching

    Nice to hear from you Hannah @RamCares, thanks for chiming in. I took my truck in about six months ago and the dealer said the parts are still showing backordered. Could you please look into my warranty claim. Thanks I'll send a private message

    2025 3500 Laramie Ventilated Seats Stretching

    What a hassle but I’m sure the Katzkins will be an upgrade! It’s too bad @RamCares isn’t stepping up to help out, they seem to be MIA lately. Supposedly my dealer ordered the new cover and foam months ago, they just keep saying it’s on back order when I call!

    Looks better than new, thanks for the update. Yeah mine wasn’t denied but all I hear from the dealer is “ still on back order “. I think Ram still offer this choice in leather so apparently they have some laying around! Hopefully @RamCares can get back to us on this

    The shop said they would replace the bottom piece of perforated leather with a new one to match with a proper fit. They also said they could add a small amount of foam if needed. They quoted me about $300 which I thought was reasonable. They also install Katskin Leather in their shop

    2025 3500 Laramie Ventilated Seats Stretching

    Thanks for the update OP. Hard to believe they denied your claim, maybe some heads should roll for that one. I thought @RamCares would certainly help you out on this. If not there’s a lot of people that won’t purchase a Ram again. So far the dealer has told me my parts are on back order. I did...

    Hey OP, any news from Ram or @RamCares on your loose leather drivers seat? It's been months since I took mine in for that same issue. All I've heard from my dealer is "It's still on back order". Hopefully they can get the necessary parts soon!

    Pop Up Cash

    Try logging in and do some truck builds. After a few builds I got the $1000 pop up cash

    2025 3500 Laramie Ventilated Seats Stretching

    OP, my drivers seat did the same thing and I weigh 160 lbs. The passenger seat is fine with the same use. The dealer is ordering a new lower cushion and cover under warranty. The cover is on backorder! I did take it to an upholstery shop prior to the dealer, they agreed it wasn't correct. They...

    Running Board Mount - Factory

    I’m 65 and still do my own filter’s, oil changes and regular maintenance. I still trust myself more than someone else doing it and cheaper. I don’t think I’ll be washing any 35 footers either

    Slutzk, how's the ride with the Bilstein Shocks? Road and off road?

    Leveling Kit

    No the Track bar connects your front axle to the frame and keeps the axle centered. https://www.thurenfabrication.com/products/front-track-bar-ram-2500-2014-2023

    Leveling Kit

    My buddy put a 2" Bilstein level kit on his 2018 3500 and he's happy with it. He mainly wanted a level kit without the use of spacers. The silver Bilstein shocks will give a firmer ride than something like Fox shocks but nothing wrong with Bilstens. Also consider a new Track Bar, good upgrade...

    Anyone buy a 2025 Cummins yet?

    With 3,700 miles the only problems I've experienced so far is a defective drivers seat cushion and loose leather at the bottom of the seat, hood insulation falling down "self fix with some contact cement". I've also noticed on the cab under the passenger side door there's an area of orange peel...
