    Full Size Dodge Thread

    If you are seriously considering a 4th gen with a g56 find one and drive it. Also look at the specs hard. Cummins detunes them when sold with the g56. I believe they are rated at a similar HP but the tq is down graded to 650ft/lbs from the 800 of the auto trans. AND it has severe "torque...

    Full Size Dodge Thread

    I suppose I just want the xzl's for the ************ factor. I'm running 3rd gen brakes and tie rods so I'm committed to 17" and up. I'll have to make the decision between 35x12.5 and 37x12.5 when I'm ready to spend $1500....and that's not soon. [emoji55] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    I'm a big fan of the tall/narrow giant tires, Michelin XML and such. Does one know of anything in the 35-38x 11-12 range for a 17" wheel? Here's a current pic for fun and to contribute to the post [emoji41] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Dodge RAM 2500 reliability as expedition vehicle vs. others?

    I think one of the biggest reasons for comfort is cabin size, and tire size. You can put 35" or larger tires on most fullsize trucks with little or no modification. My dodge is about 7500 pounds and I run my tires at 25 psi all day long and they ride so so nice. The turning radius is the...

    slow build- 97 Ram CTD family truck/expo rig

    Well the truck has sat in the driveway a lot lately, but I did take a nice back country camping trip with some friends at the beginning of summer. I finally wired up the fuel transfer pump that I plumbed months ago. I learned that fuel had been siphoning and transferring back and forth...

    https://vimeo.com/126118354 My dad bought a new work truck last month, so we gave it a good break in this weekend camping in Monache Meadows and then crossed 395 and did a night in an adopt-a-cabin near Death Valley. We drove north through the Saline valley and climbed the back way up to Cerro...

    2nd gen Dodge, largest size spare in stock location

    I don't know how you guys do it. I stuck a tape measure down there, I recall it being like33" wide and figured it couldn't be done. I've had my 285-75 17 in the bed ever since. And it sucked with my camper. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    slow build- 97 Ram CTD family truck/expo rig

    Well I put about 350 miles on the truck today and yesterday. 50+ miles of dirt and I am very happy. I had no idea what my tire pressure was set to by the tire shop, it felt like a lot. When I hit the dirt I checked it, it was at about 70#. I dropped it to 50 all the way around and with this...
