    It’s Here! Jeep Wrangler with Diesel News

    I have a 2008 Grand Cherokee with OM642 and this build has crossed my mind several times. I would honestly pull the entire electrical system out of the WK and put in the JK. The issues with the WK is gearing as someone else mentioned. It is geared too high for a diesel, great low end power...

    2019 RAM Power Wagon - PeeWee

    Great looking truck Dendy. I recently bought a 2012 Ram 3500 from a fellow expo member. I am really glad I have the RamBox. It is a convenient storage concept. Allows you to store everything that normally floats around the cab.

    It is a “farm” truck. It will be used to haul a tractor. About 10,000 lbs for the tractor and trailer. Also other farm stuff.

    Ram 3500 OEM 17” vs 20” wheels.

    This is a 2012 Ram 3500. Stock tire was a 265/70/17. It is has a max load rating of 3195 pounds. The tire I am using is the 285/75/17 and it also has a max load rating of 3195. Not sure I understand what you are saying???? Front axle is 5500 and rear axle is 6200.

    Ram 3500 OEM 17” vs 20” wheels.

    Negative. The 18” wheel has a different offset than the 17” wheel. That offset will cause the tire to rub at full lock.

    Ram 3500 OEM 17” vs 20” wheels.

    When I bought this truck it came with the 20” OEM wheel, but rubbed slightly in the front at full lock. Found a set of OEM 17” limited wheels, which originally came on the truck back in 2012. Painted them Dupli Color Graphite and put on the Cooper 285/75/17. I think it turned out really...
