    $70k Truck Falling Apart at 38k Miles

    I get a new fleet vehicle every 3-4 yrs, not one has made it to 20k on the tires, most were shot at 15k mile. My wife gets about 15k miles out of her tires. Has a lot to do with where you live, your driving conditions, roads and driving style. My truck tires have lasted to the point that they...

    Pacbrake Oil Filter relocation kit /Oil pressure drop

    I am pretty sure it's this one. More of a 45 degree but brings the filter out where it is easy to do. I RTV'd some plastic from a jug on the cross member so I can just loosen the filter and it runs into a pan and doesn't get anywhere on the frame or anything. Oil Filter Adapter - Mopar...

    Pacbrake Oil Filter relocation kit /Oil pressure drop

    I have the one without the additional lines, much easier to do. FYI the TRX plastic drain protector #11 under this won't bolt onto a 4th gen.

    Sanity Check - Wheel price

    IF they are 8" wide inside then, that's still on the high side but not too bad. IF they are 7" wide then not a good deal at all. Not Rebel wheels and make sure that your truck can accept 5 lug wheels not 6 lug.

    Ball Joints After 42K miles?

    Doesn't your Bilstein shocks have a lifetime warranty? Same for the suspension parts as many do?

    Rear end whine

    Since you started at the front, are you sure now that it is in the rear end? Did you change/or lube the belt tensioner? If not, the belt just might not have enough tension on it.

    Seized or rusted spare tire cable or lift mechanism

    I pulled mine down when new (2016) and coated the cable very liberally with marine bearing grease.. As far as I know it will still drop down haha

    Seized or rusted spare tire cable or lift mechanism

    They do come in handy! It might be easier to cut the bracket that holds the tire up with a sawzall than cutting the cable itself. Or do you have a cutoff wheel? Grinder that you can put a cutoff wheel on? etc.

    Seized or rusted spare tire cable or lift mechanism

    What he said. ^^ A torch will make short work of the cable and let the tire fall down, but you should be able to cut it also.

    Electrical System Crash With High Beams On

    I would start with checking all the grounds (or do the Big 3 upgrade) and positive connections. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/big-3-4-upgrade.183346/ You could probably trace the issue doing voltage drop tests if you know how to do those. But it might just fix the issue upgrading the grounds...

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    I've gone to the foot on pedal, pause cruise, crest overpass, reengage cruise - this is usually when towing the boat. At least it is 100 times better than my Pacifica was, it used to drop speed a couple of mph, downshift 1 or 2 gears, then fly over the crest of the hill and go 10+ mph over the...

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    I agree. Since most of my mileage is long highway trips, I can't not use cruise! haha Part of the problem is with it wanting to exactly keep the speed it's set at. I wouldn't mind a drop of 1-2 mph on an incline to prevent a downshift, esp. on going over a highway overpass. On my 01 Dakota...

    3:21 rear vs 3:92 gas mileage?

    On mine with the 3.92's, it also downshifts at the slightest hill when using cruise, it's not as bad using the foot but i would prefer for it to bog just a bit instead of the quick downshift. In the Florida keys, on cruise and doing 45-55 mph (45 zone with a lot of police), I can pull 28-30 mpg...
