Do a deep dive search of all the in-stock 1500's in your area. I was in the same boat as you, I wanted to special order a Laramie but that would take months and there were no good deals on ordered vehicles. So, I started looking at what was in-stock and then what was dealer-ordered and coming...

This is correct, no pressure washer or foam cannon can replace hand washing. The pressure washer is great for removing the outer layer of mud and dirt, but the only way to remove the film that remains is by hand washing. Soft brushes also work but they seem to always miss a few spots...

Before you buy a WDH, look into this one. It allows you to precisely dial-in the amount of weight you want to be distributed. No other WDH has this feature. I've researched every WDH out there and this is the one I'm going with. The build quality is incredible. Setting up most WDH's is hit...

You're correct, the RAM engineers made the brackets that big for a reason, although it might not be what you think. When the MFT doors are open in the side configuration, they are basically huge levers that can apply considerable force to the frame of the pickup box. In normal operation, where...

I'm sure, point made. Even an oil change requires some skill and training. Things can go wrong that can result in serious consequences. The oil filter can be particularly an area of concern with rookies. It has to be properly cleaned, threaded, and tightened. Obviously, that sure went wrong...

This is excellent advice. If RAM or the dealer ever does anything that could compromise the longevity of your truck, request an extended warranty. This is exactly what I did. It took a while but the dealer went to bat for me and got me a free $0 deductible Mopar Powertrain Care Plus warranty for...

There are some excellent replies here and I want to reiterate a few with some additional comments. I know it's a pain in the a** to change your own oil but you should always do it yourself if you're able. Why? Because no dealership or shop is going to assign their higher-paid qualified techs...

Good catch.

No other vehicle seems to have been involved. I'm thinking he accidentally wandered into the deep culvert on the side of that road at a decent speed and flipped. Just a guess.

Looks like the safety features did their job, the driver looked dazed but otherwise ok.

It just went down to $374! It won't last long at that price.

Both should be great. I use 303 products a lot but Turtle Wax has been on a major roll lately. Here are a couple of good videos from trusted sources:

The newer graphene coatings are supposed to repel dust but I won't believe that until I test it myself. I ordered a bottle of Turtle Wax's new graphene protectant. I'll report back on if it works. I have a Black Diamond Crystal truck as well.

Note: I've updated the RAM 1500 5th-Gen Power Distribution Centers website in this thread yet again. In addition to expanding the fuse descriptions from their esoteric acronyms to their full meaning, they now also include web links to help explain the function of the components that each fuse...

I noticed that too. I'm a test engineer and we see those kinds of discrepancies all the time. They're generally caused by accumulations of errors, rounding numbers, measuring device tolerance inaccuracies, and subtle physics that takes complex formulas to understand. Generally, up to 10% plus or...

Yea, it would have been great if the airbags worked for that, they came with my Limited and a good WDH is expensive.

The airbags are simply lifting the rear of the truck causing the trailer tongue to rise, thus picking up a bit more weight from the trailer. The WDH is shifting the weight distribution point back toward the trailer distributing a bit more weight away from the rear of the truck onto both the...

Here is another very interesting video showing the effects of a Weight Distributing Hitch. This video demonstrates the advantage of a WDH over airbags, but it also shows the advantage of a WDH over not using one, as well as what precisely occurs concerning all the weights involved. There are...

Thanks!
