I have heard of a 08 or 09 3500 fleet truck have one fall apart, but that was a after they hit something offroad making contact with the T-Case, not a problem with the truck but it did take out some wiring and front driveshaft. Also, I thought the new trucks had a CAD in the front axle... for...

That is an amazing plan! I especially like the beach camping idea... I have always wanted to drive along the beach and camp, but it is not something that is easily found when landlocked in the Canadian mid-west ;) I look forward to a trip report if you decide to make one for that trip. As you...

Thanks for everyone's experience! It seems the end goal is achievable, but I will definitely need a unit with bigger tanks compared to the 80RB for longer journeys. The Lance 825 or even the 650 would have been perfect if I didn't have a long box. I'll have to keep an eye out for a Lance 815...

Good call on the battery! Something I never thought about and I plan on adding a slide in camper for these types of trips. It would be a bit expensive as I would need an AGM but and easy spare to carry in that regard. My theory on the starter and alternator is that it is the brushes that...

As explorernil indicated that was an 5.9 CR issue and an issue that is more along the lines of preventative maintenance/fix as I wouldn't want to crack open the HP fuel system on the side of a gravel road as there is way to much of a chance of getting dust in there and taking out an injector.

I think you hit the nail on the head.. staying ahead of the maintenance is key. I think in most cases things give some sign of warning before needing replacement. The previous bearing failures have been on company vehicles that I do not go over in detail like I do my personal vehicle so I...

I agree it is definitely not an easy road side fix, but some routes I am thinking of are in northern Alberta into the NWT on little traveled roads were cell coverage was gone 200kms ago and you are 300km from the closest community. For those trips within 50 or 100km off pavement I would call...

Recently I have been wanting to get out and travel/camp more. I used to do a ton of camping and backroad travel, but work has since gotten in the way and interests shifted a bit, but now I am wanting to get out more and more. Currently I have a 2012 Ram 3500 CTD G56 Crew/Long which I have had...

I have a 2012 Ram 3500 diesel manual crew long with about 80,000kms. I have owned it since new and been meticulous about maintenance on it to the point were it still drives like new. It has been tuned (+40hp) with some parts missing and recently has ARP 2000 studs installed for reliability...
