    8 speed questions

    Just crawled underneath my 2024 3500 6.4l to change the oil. And I noticed that the Transmission pan is plastic ! No protection for rocks or anything else, except for the transfer case skid plate further back. When did this madness start? I can just see a goodsized-rock getting kicked up...

    greasin that hitch

    For a square receiver hitch, if you don't want gunk buildup, spray some silicone on it - it's a dry lube. Like others here, I remove it when I'm not using it actively. For my goose-neck ball, I use a light coat of lithium-rich bearing grease which I regularly wipe off and apply fresh, before...

    Why should I stay with RAM?

    I ordered a 3500 last June and have been driving it since November. I did not order a diesel - in my opinion, these are way oversold. I have the 6.4l Hemi and am very pleased with it. I tow a gooseneck dump trailer on a fairly regular basis. The truck (LongHorn crew cab, long bed 4WD) rides...

    Using the HD 3500 Auxiliary Switches

    @Badger 13, thanks - I've gone a looked for a few videos, I want to understand how a protective diode is placed into a circuit, and also want to know what kind of diode should be used - but oddly enough, I'm having trouble finding such videos. There's quite a few of these videos out there on...

    Using the HD 3500 Auxiliary Switches

    Thanks crash68, I'm using the manufactured harness that came with kit, and the relay that came with it is already plugged into it - I haven't changed the terminal assignments. The power is coming into #30 from the truck's auxiliary switch, via the auxiliary PDC, and #87 drives the auxiliary...

    Using the HD 3500 Auxiliary Switches

    mtnrider, thanks for the reply. I'll read up on this. I think my BCM might be in the cabin, so this would mean a firewall penetration. Ugh! My last truck was new 27 years ago, and things were a little bit simpler when customizing. If you could point me to a handy resource on how you did...

    Using the HD 3500 Auxiliary Switches

    Thanks Badger 13. The Auxiliary PDC is what I was referring to, it comes with relays and fuses already wired in place and assigned to the 6 auxiliary switches that are on the dash. As for not using Scotchlock quick splices, what would you recommend? Is there another product available to tap...

    Using the HD 3500 Auxiliary Switches

    OK: 2024 Ram 3500 with the Snow Chief package: I have 6 auxiliary switches at my disposal, and want to add front auxiliary driving lights that are triggered by the high-beams. Looking for well-informed input and confirmation that I'm not going to burn my truck up ! These are LED driving...

    I may have missed this, but do you have a vise and a hack saw?

    Remote Oil Filtration System

    I second the Royal Purple 20-500, which is significantly bigger than the stock filter (actually makes it easier to get at) and also to change the oil around the 5k mile mark. You incur additional risk by having a remote filter setup. Those hoses are potential leak paths, potential catastrophic...

    6.4L Oil Pressure - Idle vs Cruising

    Pretty much exactly the numbers I have with my 2024. No worries, the numbers are fine. On the other note, oil filters don't control the oil pressure.

    6.4 Oil Filter Part Number

    Here's what I am running in my 2024 Ram 3500 6.4l. Royal Purple #20-500, as others have stated; Its the same thread M22-1.50 and gasket, but the canister is a little longer at 4½". To me this makes it a little easier to access. For oil, I'm using Mobil1 European Car formula Mobil1 FS 0W-40...

    Dreaded tailgate meets trailer jack

    Interesting. I have a 2024 Ram 3500 and dinged the tailgate recently. All the bodyshops I visited made mention of the 'aluminum' issues, but when I got home I got out a magnet. It sticks. So the 3500s have a steel tailgate still, I guess.

    *New Rebates* on 2024 HD orders

    I just took delivery of my 2024 Ram 3500 Big Horn, which I ordered back in the latter half of June. Happy Customer ! Anthony was extremely helpful throughout the process and all of the rebates / incentives / bonuses that were mentioned above, were applied to my purchase - all there, without...

    Mopar bed/box reinforcement brackets not needed

    Asked dealership this question today, as I'm soon taking delivery of a 2024 Ram 3500. The brackets exist, apparently. If you have ordered the tow prep package (gooseneck or fifth wheel) then the bed reinforcement brackets have already been installed as part of that package. I'm not sure if...

    2500 or 3500 for 5th Wheel Retirement Towing

    Can't get the 4.10's with a gas engine, only the diesel. For this kind of towing, I would say diesel is the better option. As there's about $5K difference, do some homework on whether you need the high output or not. Get at least a handful of opinions on the dually / single wheel question...

    2023 Ram 3500 ordering NO MORE!

    So - I went to a dealer today to spec out a 2023 Ram 3500 and get a price to put one on order. Guess what? Ram is NO LONGER accepting orders for the 2023 Ram 3500 model. Yes, it's only mid-May - order lines were closed in mid-April sometime, apparently. This dealer still has some 2022's left...
