    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    You‘re correct about power. With my EcoDiesel Jeep I had a 18 foot enclosed trailer that I used for moving, but kept it to transport motorcycles from Corpus up to San Antonio hill country to ride. Its basically uphill the whole way, with a 30 mph head wind straight down the interstate. Yes, I...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    Spot on. I just posted about this, but you nailed it. My someday truck is a Ram 4500 flatbed with a Can Am or a camper on it, and 200 gallons of diesel on board. Think about fueling up once a month. My 1500 EcoDiesel with 33 gallons basically means I can do San Diego to Vegas and back on a tank...

    Full Size - Small Diesels: why so unpopular?

    I won’t be doing a full build, but I just purchased a 2022 Limited with the EcoDiesel as it checks every single box for me, so there are plenty of us out there that like and use the small diesels. Previously, I had the Grand Cherokee with the ecodiesel, and had 80,000 trouble free miles...

    Simple rims for modern full size trucks?

    A year ago I wouldn’t have even considered Raceline, most of their wheels were outdated. It seems like they have caught up and passed Method. I realize this is on a 1500, but the proper offset and interior diameter meant I could clear the new, larger brake rotor with the Raceline wheels, which...

    Finally!! Direct bolt 1 piece aluminum 20x10 super singles F450/F550

    Thanks for starting this thread and bringing this wheel to our attention. Has any progress been made on the wheel becoming available for retail sale? I think you about nailed the requirement for a super single wheel. Since no one has bothered to ask yet, I'd be very curious what kind of...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Thanks for sharing, something to consider. Of course the goal is to build something that can earth roam, just not immediately. I don't ever want to think about payload or tow limitations so I can just keep on trucking. I've under-bought enough vehicles in my life that I'll never do that again...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Would it actually be dangerous, or just massively uncomfortable? The goal, since I am not rich, is to get where I'm going in complete comfort. Running MTRs down the highway for 500 miles might be more uncomfortable than the last hour on a dirt road on stock tires before dismounting. Certainly...

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    Do you know what the pattern is on the 4500/5500 when you remove that factory spacer? Any benefit or drawback to removing it? And for the 3500, do you mean the chassis cab?

    2020 Ram 5500 DIY Composite Panel Camper Build Thread

    I've went back and re-read the post and searched the pictures a bunch of times, but I can't find anything about the spacers that you are using. In your most recent photo of the front wheels removed I can see spacers, but I'm not clear if they are only on the front axle, or the rear axle as well...
