    0-40 PUP Oil

    I too recall the paraffin based Pennsoil that left a gummy residue in the engines. Terrible stuff to use for long milage. Maybe just for one change if you could not find anything else. The synthetics are different. I'm going to use the stuff RAM recommends now because I am under warranty. I...

    5th Gen Tailgate Width?

    61 3/4 inch inside width. I ordered a Bed Mat for the entire bed and tailgate but I believe the gate pad is available by itself. Very durable and washable.

    0-40 PUP Oil

    Thanks for the reply on B&S. I will go ahead with the order. As for the barrel of oil...does that come with a pump? My first job in high school was at a Richfield (now ARCO) gas station and I always liked drawing oil from the hand operated pumps. Acquired one of those years later which had...

    0-40 PUP Oil

    Looking on Amazon for Penzoil Ultra Platinum 0-40 synthetic oil I see it comes from B&S Supply. Never heard of them and curious if that's anything to be concerned about. Comes in a 7-pack which is just right for an oil change. Google search did not pull them up either. The dealer just did my...

    Well this was not nice - computer did a hard reset I guess.

    My reset changed me back to day one in some settings and it took some time to reset all the things it changed or left blank. Other settings remained. The most inconvenient was the comfort settings. Screwed them all up. Can't wait for another one. Next time I will not OK an update until I...

    Birds Keep Sh!tting on My Side Mirrors

    On my '04 truck I have the black mirrors and they get pooped on too but I believe it's the proximity to their nests in the trees and garage where they build nests on the motion lights. These are small birds (finch type) but the stuff adds up. This time of the year they are very busy raising...

    Well this was not nice - computer did a hard reset I guess.

    I posted recently about a similar update except I could not lock or start my truck during the update. Nothing. If the screen asks if you would like to update now be sure you are parked for awhile. The potential liability for RAM is huge. Imagine someone being assaulted, died because they...

    2022 6.4 3500 long crank and drinking fuel

    Maybe crank position sensor? Would seem they would have gone there first but maybe the codes sent them in a different direction. That sensor could really throw things off but usually just gives you a no start condition when it fails.

    2021-2500 6.4 Trans and T-Case mind of it's own?

    I'm curious if you drive the truck by letting it do it's own thing or are you using the + and - to select gears. Or maybe placing it in tow/haul. Maybe it's another module connected to "select" drive.

    New Power Folding Mirror Question

    Thank you for the feedback. I will try again on my truck. I did put some pressure on mine but was concerned about too much pressure. There seems to be quite a bit of resistance.

    Suggestions for 2020 Cummins 2500 tires with no scrub on 18" Stock Steel Wheels

    On my 2014 diesel(sold) which had a camper on board I replaced the Firestone rock throwers with Michelin Defenders in stock 18" size and was very happy with them. Quiet and excellent traction. Got them from Costco. I don't care for their service techs, in my area anyway, who use the NASCAR...

    RAM Computer Download

    Update...looks like everything came back to normal. sorta. I can use my temp buttons again. But there is some different appearances and I probably will notice more changes as I go along. Still do not know what this download was supposed to accomplish and it would be nice if RAM would tell us...

    New Power Folding Mirror Question

    No. It's too close to the vertical supports to have anything extended. I also noticed that even when flipped down the mirrors extend further than my towing mirrors on the 2004 2500. With one (drivers) tow mirror out I can watch hand signals from someone in the back. I've been looking into...

    New Power Folding Mirror Question

    With power folding mirrors, can you fold just one in to avoid brush or obstacles? Sure doesn't seem like you can but maybe there is something in the computer set up that allows that? Under the carport where I park my trailer there is very little clearance on the passenger side. With my 2004...

    Bed Liner

    Really depends on your use. It saves the bed from rusting when the paint is scrapped off. I have had the MOPAR liner in my 2004 since new and it's still in excellent shape despite the abuse. But if you have seen bed liners alongside the road then you know you must secure them. The new truck...
