    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    Haven't come across anything yet that I would consider a negative. I'm very picky, but pretty realistic. Nothing's perfect. We ordered from the factory, so configured the truck to our needs. Bed liner and wheel well liners were two pretty cheap but great options. The 12" Nav system has been...

    Turns out I need a real truck. Kindly help me choose one!

    We've ended up in a Ram 3500 built along the lines you're considering. We've been off-road traveling and camping for 15 years in Colorado and Utah with built Jeep JKURs and ground tents or off-road trailers. We wanted a rig that could carry a small off-road popup camper but still be capable of...

    Flemster's 22 Ram 3500 Build - Sherpa Edition

    The shop that did our work told me that they had seen (heard) the same problem on a number of other Rams, but they saw it more frequently on a couple combinations of model and year. Lifted 2022 3500s were definitely one of them whether it was a Carli or AEV lift. Sounded like some change in...

    Flemster's 22 Ram 3500 Build - Sherpa Edition

    It might be the front driveshaft if you're still running the stock one. We had a rattling (almost grinding) noise when turning in 4wd with our 2022 Ram 3500 diesel as well. Also heard it occasionally when the suspension flexed enough in 4wd. It started after our build which includes the 3.25"...

    Ram 3500 - Spare tire options for 37s.

    I run the Rig'd UltraSwing on our 2022 3500 with 37s. It is limited to 10,000 lbs towing like the smaller ones. It works very well but, at least for me, takes a few tries to get it all lined up as you torque it to spec. For our needs, it works very well. We added their drop down table and...

    FWC Victron DC/DC charger update help - 2017 Hawk

    Iota doesn't publish any specs on the DLS-nnIQ4 chargers that I could find, but posts from others who have called Iota list charge profiles that match the numbers I found for the older, separate IQ4 module ( I bought one of those years back with an Iota DLS 30 to charge a Lifeline AGM battery )...

    FWC Victron DC/DC charger update help - 2017 Hawk

    You might be okay keeping the Iota for 120VAC to 12VDC charging if it has the IQ4 module. The IQ4 was marketed as a charge controller for lead acid batteries, so charge profile voltages may not be ideal for your lithium batteries. If you plan on using AC as your primary charging source, the...

    FWC Victron DC/DC charger update help - 2017 Hawk

    Here's a picture of the power connection on our 2022 FWC Hawk. We have 6awg wiring from the truck battery to an Anderson SB50 (50 amp max) mounted to the side of the truck bed. The camper has the other side of the SB50 connector. The SB50 connectors are in Anderson environmental boots. The...

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    Those numbers are from the online Ram towing/payload config site. On the site, our truck is rated at 4060 lbs. We added dual alternators, transfer case skid plate, rear wheel well liners, bed liner, block heater and a decent (but not top of line) set of interior options. That cut our payload...

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    Our base truck is a Ram 3500 Big Horn / 4x4 / crewcab / 6'4" box. The payload capacity of this base configuration with the 6.4 hemi is 4250 lbs and 4060 lbs with the standard output Cummins. I searched around before we ordered and there is about a 570 lb diff between the 6.4 gas and the 6.7...

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    Oh yeah... add another 260 lb for a pair of White Knuckle sliders to the other items. I knew I'd forgotten something that bumped the weight up there. They've already seen a bit of rock up on the White River Plateau this summer.

    I need to upgrade my truck to a 250/2500

    I'm in the 350/3500 camp as well. We took delivery of a 2022 Ram 3500, Cummins standard output, crewcab last December. Campers and off-road equipment add up quickly and as others have said, the coil springs in a 2500 Ram don't cut it for modest payloads and up. We ordered from the factory...

    Advice needed. Adding bumpers, winch, and lights on a 2022 Ram 3500 Megacab

    Just adding some specifics on what we bought for our 3500: AEV front bumper. Expensive and a tough install. Some complain of final fitment issues, but ours looks good to my eye. I like the easy access to the winch, and it does take a 16.5 winch. We put a Warn 16.5 with synthetic rope in...
