    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...

    Catch can dynamics

    Thank you for the detailed info. I understand now. BTW, on oil use, I previously posted that my new truck was down on oil and thought maybe it was burning it. Dealer added 1.5 quarts at 1,400 miles and now I'm over 3,000 with no drop on the stick. So as some mentioned, it was likely down...

    What Color Of Truck Bed Mat/Deck Would You Want To See (other than black)

    Yes grey would make it easier to to see dirty spots. It's also a little cooler in the sun, primarily on the tail gate. I use a fold out mattress that does not cover the entire floor so have to crawl on the mat to get out. I also have a cot I use on occasion so I can store things under it...

    Catch can dynamics

    I'm pretty new to this RAM forum and have seen several posts about catch cans, seemingly only on the 5.7 hemis. What is this all about other than what is mentioned above? Without one I assume the oil (mist?) goes back into into the engine as designed by the engineers but why is there an issue...

    What Color Of Truck Bed Mat/Deck Would You Want To See (other than black)

    I would like to see one that is smooth. The ribs hurt my boney knees when I crawl inside. I have a camper shell and sometimes camp out/sleep in it. So I added a Bed Rug but would rather have something I would not mind spilling oil/gas on when picking up supplies. And grey would be nice...

    2023 Ram steering issue

    I cannot exactly address the 1500's but I have an outstanding/open recall on my 2023 2500 for a problem with the electronic steering. And my left turn signal does not always cancel either. Dealer told me the steering issue has something to do with the computer module causing some trucks to...

    RAM Computer Download

    Got a download just as I stopped at a restaurant for dinner. Screen said I could not drive the truck and to put it in park along with some other instructions. So I shut it down and we exited the truck. Could not lock the doors or do anything. It struck me that what if there was an emergency...

    Voltage readings on 2024

    If you have the buttons on the steering wheel that you can scroll thru and one will have the voltage but if you really want to know what the battery voltage is before starting and when running you will need a multi meter. Be sure your door is closed because the interior lights will pull down...

    2024 Ram Limited 1500 - Failed less than 200 miles

    Your help is going to come from the service dept at the dealer since this is a new truck. But I am surprised you did not have it towed there. I live in a mountain area and would not have tempted the gods by driving a failing vehicle to have it worked on. I have AAA tow and it's well worth it...

    Know forward gears

    If you can drive it and shift manually then the trans is likely okay except for an electrical issue. I suggest you head to a reliable transmission shop and find out what is going on. If you were in the water maybe something really simple like an electrical short.

    Help! Can’t decide how to upgrade

    Depending on your annual mileage driven consider that a diesel will cost you 10K more than a gas rig. You can buy a lot of gas vs diesel for that amount. If you drive enough to use the DEF (5 gallons) up in about three months or less, you likely would not have a problem with the diesel. A lot...

    Rear Differential Clunking

    One other thought. If you have a limited slip rear end and still have the clunk after service add a small bottle of limited slip oil, available at parts stores, and see if that quiets the noise. Manual says it is not needed but I have put it in a 2003 and 2004 with LS that were making noise on...
