    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...

    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...

    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...

    12" U Connect Radio Shut Down

    Had the truck 6 months and the last week or so I have noticed the radio does not shut off immediately when I exit the vehicle after shutting down. Like always before. The first time it happened I went back thru the starting procedure and shut down again. The radio went off. Last night I shut...

    Can You Pump Up Your Brake Pedal?

    On my 2023 6.4 I've noticed the brake pedal is not as positive as my other vehicles. I can pump the pedal once and get a better/harder/higher pedal which feels more normal. Are these new trucks and ABS doing this or do I have air in the lines. That is what it feels like. Pressing hard on the...

    6.4 Oil Filter Part Number

    I've been hoping to find something in posts on oil filter number and best source for the 0-40 oil on the 2023 6.4 Hemi engine. Cannot find anything on the forum and the local O'reillys does not show it yet in their computer. I know the oil will be PUP or equivalent. Some discussion on the...

    New Truck Oil Consumption

    Have 1400 miles on a new 6.4 truck now and took it into the sealer for a couple possible glass issues and to document oil shows down what I though was a half quart. Tech says it was actually one and a half quarts low. Have any readers here experienced that kind of oil loss on a new engine...

    Rear Sway Bar Link Bolt Issue

    A friend of mine has had two 6.4 2500 4x4 trucks left rear sway bar lower nuts become loose. One was a 2016 w/36K before it was totaled and the other is his current 2021 with 44K. He does do some off roading (hunting) and he has a small ranch. But these nuts (18MM) are compression fit and...

    Laramie Headlight Switch

    My 2023 turns the headlights on when running, in gear or not, at dark. There seems to be no way to turn them off at night. Is this normal for these new trucks? I plan to use the truck in a night parade and do not want the headlights on. The DRL might be okay but I would like the option to...

    6.4 Hemi Badge Gone?

    Bought a 2023 Laramie and now notice other 6.4 Hemi trucks have a fender badge showing the type of engine. Some of my friends have asked if it has the hemi or the Cummins, which is always identified by the C badge. Have these been removed for later model 6.4's? My friends 2021 has it. Or...

    8 SPD Transmission Shifting Question

    The new 2023 I have is the first 8 spd trans I have driven. The truck is so quiet and smooth I have to look at the rpm gauge to know if I am in 6-8 shifts. A few days ago I tried the manual down shift button on the steering wheel when at about 60 MPH and noticed the RPM going up as expected...

    Push Notifications

    I believe I asked this question somewhere on the forum but cannot find it now. What does the term Push Notifications mean at the bottom of the page? Text says the forum wants my permission to enable them.

    Heavy Duty Shocks On A 2023 2500

    The new truck I just purchased came with an option optional off road package that includes front and rear Performance Tuned Shocks. Would anyone know if these affect the ride of the truck? My 2004 with leaf springs rides better than the new one. It's got a Cummins and the new one is lighter...

    Tailgate Assist Step

    The 2023 2500 has a pretty high tailgate level even when down. Unlike Ford there does not seem to be an option for a step assist, etc to help get in the truck bed. I'm aware of the corner bed step but with a camper shell on that is almost useless. Does anyone out there have something they...

    Does A New 6.4 Have Special break in Oil?

    Just brought home a new 2500, 6.4 yesterday. The salesman who has been selling RAM hemis for over 20 years told me the oil is a special break in oil and should be run for at least 4,000 miles before changing. After that you run what is recommended in the manual. The manual shows the milage...

    RAM Bed Toolbox

    Drove a lot of miles to look at a highly optioned 2500 yesterday before I knew it has the Ram bed toolboxes. Does anyone know if you can place a camper shell over those.? Seems a thick seal might cover all the groves and gaps but maybe someone has done this with bad results. The cargo...

    Auto Level Rear Suspension Question

    On a couple other threads I have been posting about finding a new truck with what I might need for towing and off road or severe weather conditions. Today, I found a 2023 on line that is a highly optioned Laramie. More options than I would order but has all the options I want except the color...

    Does A 4WD Truck Need Limited Slip

    My current 2004.5 2500 has a limited slip rear but honestly I can't tell if it has ever engaged. I believe once in soft sand in the desert I felt the rear end switching back and forth for traction. Considering I have 4WD and wish to buy a new truck, is limited slip necessary? Our climate does...

    Laramie Options Question

    Priced a 2024 Laramie 2500 4x4 at two dealerships and both said you have to order at least the level one equipment group. It's $3,840 this year and has several items listed in it that are standard on a Laramie. So it would seem the Laramie should be priced accordingly with those options in the...

    6.4 Truck engine

    Looking at reviews on line I saw a recent video that stated the 6.4 MDS engine is not put in the 2500 RAM trucks. Is this true? On another video a talking head stated that on the gas engines, when towing, you are limited/governed to 35MPH going uphill. I've not seen reference to these before...
