    Rear bed size didfernce from dt to ds?

    Take your bed rug to the dealer with you and see if it fits in a new truck. I’d say it will fit, but maybe not to perfection.

    Do You Keep Your Cummins Exhaust Brake Set At Full?

    I always had mine on full. The actuator still **** the bed at 164000kms. You think an $800 driveline fluid change is expensive? Wait until you see how much a dealer charges for a turbo actuator. They wanted $4k just for the part.

    Yikes! Look What the Dealership Wants For This Easy Service

    If you can’t do it yourself, you will pay someone else too much to do it for you. Redline 75w85 and 75w90 is $24/L here, so $150 to do the front and rear. MT-LV is $30/L, $60 to do the transfer case. Brake fluid will cost you a few beers to your buddy to press the brake pedal repeatedly. For...

    REACHING OUT

    You can get redline 75w85 and 75w90 for your differentials at Canadian tire for $24 each. Lordco had MT-LV transfer case fluid for $30. Done those a couple times already. Wait until the stock warranty is up before doing the transmission.

    Should I change my trans fluid?

    Almost at 97000kms, 2 yrs. Would you get more oil out by draining it at operating temp of 81C when the internal thermostat and valves are open or would draining it in the morning at 5C yield the same or better results? I’d rather not work on piping hot equipment, but it’s not the end of the...

    Gas vs Diesel

    If you’re really set on gas, check out a 5500 with 4.88s and the aisin behind the Hemi. But personally, this is diesel all the way.

    Max Care quote for my used 2021 Classic Warlock: No?

    Don’t waste your money. I have pretty much the identical truck as you. In exactly 2 years of ownership I’ve put on 96000kms. There’s nothing mechanically wrong with this thing. I’ve learned over the years that unless you have visible oil leakage or a check engine light, on, in the service bay...

    2024 Camping Season Campsite/Tow PICS

    I don’t do much summer camping in Alberta or B.C. anymore. Reservations get bought out the first day and planning of the summer activities often needs to be done with only weeks of notice instead of months. I have, however, had great luck getting short notice spots in the western states...

    2025 Ram 1500 First Drive: No More Hemi

    I like that they’ve added all the things to the higher level trucks. But I’d like it even more if the decontented the tradesman and bighorn trucks. Remove all the screens, features, garbage, and cut $5-8k off the price.

    Max Paylod?Max Towing

    In some of the other charts over the years similar to the one you’ve posted, I’ve read that the 300lbs passenger weight is included in the payload. Some don’t specify. Always wondered if that’s true or not.

    Engine hours/oil change interval

    I recall reading somewhere in the owners manual to change the oil every 350hrs combined on vehicles that idle a lot.

    Looks like I'm never buying RAM again...

    Everyone has their limit on what they’re willing to pay, monthly payments, years of payments, and interest rates that change their $60k truck into a $75k truck that sucks $10k in fuel per year. My wallet is more important than having the new shiny or something slightly bigger than Bob next door...

    Help! Can’t decide how to upgrade

    You are going to be spending a lot of money in gas daily driving a 6.4….. you will spend slightly less daily driving a 6.7 if diesel and gas prices are the same. If you can’t pay off said new vehicles in a short amount of time you’re going to spend a fortune in interest. I’ve had both. They’re...

    2008 vs 2016 Turbo

    I believe what you’re looking for is called a 2nd gen swap. Try Cummins forum. You’ll find a lot more information on how to do this.

    The forum title says 2019-2023 Classic so is a 2024 Classic a different vehicle or the forum title hasn't been updated yet?

    I paid $58kcdn for my heavily optioned warlock almost 2 years ago. This is what the most optioned one at the local dealer is, along with the cheapest Rebel.

    TO Sell or Not

    A dealer is going to offer you less than $39k, you might be able to barter that up. When I was at the dealer at just shy of 60000kms to see if I could get my door panels fixed under warranty, a new s!eazy salesman tried his best to put me into a rebel and I made him run back and forth many times...

    Upgrades capable of towing maximum

    This is what 6000lbs with 900lbs tongue weight with 3.55 looks like behind a pentastar. Since your build sheet says you only have 4400lbs of capacity behind your 3.21 you would need to spend a couple grand to upgrade your front and rear end. A better option would be to find a $5k ok ish 3/4-1...

    Fifth Wheels By Keystone For 1500

    The point of a small trailer: They fit anywhere! This was 3 trucks and 3 trailers ago. At 20’ from hitch to bumper you could take the last minute trip and not worry about having to reserve your spot 6 months in advance for the 3 spots in the park that can accommodate your behemoth. Case in...

    Careful if you want RAM EV, it maybe more expensive than you think

    I love my Milwaukee tools… but I won’t be buying this.

    2017 6.7L Cummins 2500

    Look at the rust on the bottom part. That’s been broken for a long time. Driving on the dirt, eventually the crack worked its way up to where one small bump made it pop.

    Stellantis’ new Ram pickup is an EV — with a gas-powered generator in case the battery runs out. The end of the Hemi???

    I know. There’s quite a few 4 cylinders out there that can put out 268ft/lbs. There’s also a lot of people out there that think a 4000w Coleman generator can charge an EV and drive forever.
