    The bigger the truck, the greater the (misplaced?) concern about payload?

    I'm pretty sure my RAM 3500 Cummins has twice the payload of a equally equipped RAM 2500 Cummins. If you took a 2500 and loaded it to my 11,700 gvw I doubt the two trucks would drive the same. You'd be on the bump stops in the 2500, so it's more than just tire pressure. I've always wondered, in...

    This is a nice mount and simple solution, but what do you use the Hi-lift for on your rig?

    Tex's 200 Series

    What color wheels would you be planning? It looks so clean with the silver now, it would be hard for me to pick a wheel color for that white. Anything but black, please. Part of the fun for me is the planning, good luck with figuring out exactly what you want to do.

    2000 F250 with stock 7.3L / 2020 OEV CampX #40

    Is that a exterior door lock added to the door? "Serviced every 3k". That's a lot of service.

    Ram 2500 long term reliability

    Are you planning to use the truck "out of the box" or plan to modify it? Also, will this be your daily driver as well as the tow/travel vehicle? If you do plan to daily, go drive these trucks around the places you frequent. I specifically got a 3500 so I wouldn't ever have to worry about...

    Lets see some full size pictures...

    What you would estimate is the total weight you have on that roof rack? Is the rack attached using rivets? Any deflection in the mounting areas? As I'm sure you have some miles on this install I'd like to hear your thoughts.

    need advise for full size truck choice

    Just a note, RAM removed the manual option for the 2019 model year and on. I ordered my '18 Cummins manual and it is a pleasure to drive on a Carli Backcountry kit and 37s. My only complaint is that reverse could be deeper. The BD 2-lo kit is a life saver backing my trailer up the driveway...

    How much are slightly used Ram 3500 OEM parts worth?

    I think you will get pennies on the dollar if you are comparing to some online parts cost for most of those parts. The wheels might be a different story, but are also a crapshoot on price vs. actual buyers. I also swapped out the full suspension on my '18 3500. Almost all of the parts you...

    Simple rims for modern full size trucks?

    I have Method MR314s and they are a cleaner, nicer "Dakar" style wheel. If you liked the AEV, you might like the MR314 style.

    Need help finding proper relays

    I'd recommend looking in to micro/mini relays from the car audio side of things: https://www.qualitymobilevideo.com/5083pwmr.html This is just an example, but these are great as the size allows for incorporating them in to your harness. I have a 20A version of these in heat shrink behind my...

    Roaming Lost: 2022 RAM 3500

    Great looking tray bed. That winch almost looks like it is mounted to the existing top of the factory hitch, could you explain how you mounted that?

    No longer for sale

    That's an awful big, grand, once in a lifetime, travel the whole world, in a Ram pickup, story. Are you not planning to do any of that anymore? Or just not in this pick-up? Looks like you've been a member here for a long time, but no posts. If you were just a lurker you should have expected the...

    Installing 30L calorifier in FWC

    I won't be able to offer any comments on the calorifier, but, as you have a 3500, I would recommend looking in to the RAM ambulance prep package elements. Some of the engine integration for the coolant lines can be done with OEM parts if that is something that interests you.

    Before Electronics, the complaint was all the vacuum lines everywhere. I'd rather plug in a little computer to tell me what's wrong than break out the smoke machine.

    how to design a water system that is operational below freezing

    How much water are you planning in the main tank? What kind of noise would an aeration system make? Would you hear the system bubbling and burping the air? Simplicity may be insulating the tank and using a heating element external. Trigger the system to keep the tank above freezing, but I...

    RSI Smartcap questions?

    Has anyone seen one of these for a full size in the wild? They have quite a few applications listed, like 6'4" RAM, but any actual pictures? I can find quite a few pics of short beds, but I'm wondering how they handle the area in front of the wheel on the full size models.
