Has anyone noticed a downrating of towing capacity of the Hemi 3500? I could have sworn that when I was comparing the 3500 to the f350 godzilla there wasn't a big difference. I went on the website when I was figuring out which vehicle to invest in. I was sure I saw the page relaying that the Hemi with the 4.1 axle, 8ft box and crew cab with 4x4 SRW was capable of just over 19k, now the website is showing that they are only capable of 16.8k.

Did I see wrong or am I suffering from the Mandela Effect?

Looking to get a cold air intake from K&N ( 77-1578KP ) for my 21 limited 1500. Hearing that it might cause issues with the sensors since oil from the filter might get on it.. can this also lead to throttle body issues? Looking to hear from others’ experiences. Thank you in advance

Hi All,

I have a paid off Tradesman 2500 year 2022 and I’m looking to improve the ride quality, and not buy another vehicle, and make this one last.

I’m looking for your recommendations and advice on how to improve the daily commute ride quality. Max I tow is a 8,000 lb Center Console boat every other weekend, and this truck is my daily driver to and from the city on highway and city roads. Rarely do I go off-roading. 100% city truck.

I’ve so far changed the stock Firestones, to Michelin Defenders R18s, and Added Bilstein 4,600’s
I do need to get the TPMS reset so I can go below 50 PSI I’m currently 52 psi front, 60 in the rear.

The ride has improved a bit, but you still bounce around in the cab, and I’m looking to further improve the ride. Wife dreads riding in my truck and complains of car sickness as you feel every bump in the road. Even when towing.

I have budget set aside and would like to ask what you recommend in regards to upgrading the suspension, changing out the coils, adding airbags, sway/track bar, steering stabilizer, etc

Reminder goal is to improve ride quality and not have whiplash from every bump on the road. Especially the side to side whiplash.

What are some of the tale tell or early signs of a possible cam/lifter issue?

Just making sure I’m not headed to that route, my truck the past couple weeks shudders alot when kicking down in different gears or when I suddenly mash the gas to kick down gears, going up a hill etc,. I tried driving it with mds off and still have the same issue. It’s not a violent shudder, but it’s definitely a spitter or some sorta imminent misfire and as I mash on the gas it tries to lags its way back up to speed

The check engine light has been on all this past weekend for p291b code bank 2 imbalance fuel/air and just went back off on its own today. Some places on the internet also suggested it could be the differential on the back? I’m just trying to fish out any common fixes and by the way it’s looking these trucks are pretty worrisome at this point

My truck: 2016 ram hemi 5.7 132k miles

I’m looking into ram rebels. And I see the two different packages. The gt and the x. Those who have either one, what are the differences. The pros and cons. Any insight is great. Thanks!

New ram rebel tier 1 interior 2026 for 62k @ 72 months 2.9%!!!!

My 2021 Ram 1500 with 103k miles suddenly died while driving it, no power steering it just shut off. Truck was dead key fob did nothing. Got it towed to the CDJR dealer where it’s been for over a month.
They charged me $1100 for a new RF hub, and that didn’t fix it. Now they’ve had it diagnosing for a month now with no leads on fixing it.

Worth noting is that the truck has died before it ended up fixing itself. The first time it had codes: P1DDE, P1DB6, P215C OR P21SC, P1DAF AND P0701.

They told me they tried a swapping a PDC from another Ram to mine with no luck.
They can’t scan the codes bc the trucks electronics are offline.

I’m not really sure what to do at this point. They said the truck is “breaking their head” but they still are trying to fix it.
I have no warranty and I don’t wanna keep throwing money at it blindly.
Any ideas on what I should do?
