    bilstein 5100 shocks on Stock 2500 4x4

    Did you fail to read that he has tried Rancho, as have a couple of others, and hate them for towing?

    Door hinge bearing

    I still think a body shop will fix it fast and cheaper than the dealer, but if you are going in for an inspection anyhow, can't hurt to have them look.

    Door hinge bearing

    So did ypu ever take it to a pro and have them look at it or are you still trying to figure this out yourself. If the later, i think enough time has passed to know the second approach isn't working too well.

    Who else leaves their alfaOBD MX+ plugged in?

    You can't leave alpha permaanentl installed, except in the sense it is on your phone. You cannot leave it connected to the truck permanently. I leave the security cable installed permanently. I do not leave the obdmx+ reader installed. I carry it in the glove box in case I need it.

    bilstein 5100 shocks on Stock 2500 4x4

    They come from the factory with 80 psi to keep them from flat spotting during transport. pPDI should have set them to your door sticker pressures but most dealerships miss that step. Anything rides like crap with 80 psi. I run my 2500 with 45 front and 40 rear unloaded. I only air it up when...

    So little time, so few posts, so much bad information. Amazing.

    BW44-44 Transfer Case Fluid

    If you read this thread the answer has been posted right on here more than a few times. 2016 and later is the same fluid and the new fluid is the result of the changes to the clutch packs. Buy that.

    Voltage drop

    Have them test the amperage and voltage output at different engine rpm. Alternators don't usually go bad slowly, they normally work or don't but it is possible that something is weak or failed and causing low output.

    Power Steering pump pulley replacement?

    Last resort get one at the wreckers.

    Voltage drop

    Excellent points JW. Serpentine belt is an often overlooked maintenance item that can affect performance. Pulley can too but a lot more rare. Still worth looking at.

    Voltage drop

    If you have massive draws on your system, a higher output alternator isn't the only thing you may need. You may want to look at installing a second battery and splitting the load between the two batteries. Typically you run the sound system off the second auxillary battery. That leaves the main...

    Voltage drop

    Good luck getting an answer. Showed up June 3, 2023, got the info, last seen June 3rd. Not even the courtesy of a thank you or a post about how it gets fixed. About 95% of new memebers that come on and ask for help follow this pattern. I rarely answer first time posts anymore because of that...

    You are completely wrong about airbags not helping with towing. If that was true, Semi Trucks and their trailers that are used on our highways would not use them extensively. You need to quit parroting internet lore and learn how towing dynamics actually work. You need a WDH, the right springs...

    Issues with 2024 HD 2500 RAM

    Five pages of posts, months of elapsed time, weeks with the vehicle at the dealer, multiple return visits, still not fixed. Is there some point where you actually realise that continuing to do the same thing over and over with bad results is ineffective. As much as we try, we can't help someone...
