With your 5100’s in the front it will ride much better with matching shocks in the rear. I ran the icon springs on my last truck and they were fantastic. Since they are dual rate they ride 25% softer with no load in the bed. But if there is payload or towing it is 75% stiffer, it doesn’t hardly...

Looks great! I had the 5100’s on my last truck and the icon rear lift springs. I’m toying with running that set up again or doing the Mopar fox lift. What size tires are you running?

V6 VS. V8 Two different hammers for two different jobs. When you pound a nail in the wall to hang a picture you don’t go in the garage and grab your 5 pound sledge hammer. You use a small 16oz claw hammer. So in other words not everybody needs a hemi. I’ll chime in since there’s not a big...

They also changed the compound of the rubber to be more friendly in the rain and snow. You are right, wet conditions were a big issue with the old design.

But that’s always been part of having an eco-diesel. The oil changes have always been expensive compared to hemi or Cummins services. Bottom line is ram does have the nicest truck. This will all get sorted out quickly and we won’t have to deal with this going forward. Worst case scenario you...

Thank you Mark

But what is a light duty diesel? Are we talking about a 1.4 L Volkswagen TDI? It is not specific and again SN oil in a diesel Defies the rules. Technically yes the dealer you had it serviced at would need to pay to change the oil again. However you’re going to have a hard time convincing them...

API - American Petroleum Institute This defines whether an oil is suitable for gasoline or diesel engines. Gasoline engines: The service level category contains two letters. The first letter, S, indicates the oil is for gasoline engines. The codes are as follows: • SN: For vehicles manufactured...

Tires look awesome! 285/60/20 seems to be a perfect size. I’ve had my eye on these Toyo AT3’s since they came out. The design is much better than the old ones and they are much lighter. The Falken wildpeak’s that come on the off-road package is actually sold in the Europe (Falken Wildpeak...

That’s awesome. What upper control arms are you running? I see they are much dirtier than the shiny new coil overs

Parts department of the dealership. Most likely you will have to order them. Find a truck that has the night (black) appearance package and the eco-diesel engine then give that Vin number to the person at the parts counter and they can order the badges. You may be able to order them without a...

Thank you Mark for the explanation. I really appreciate you and Ram reaching out to members of a forum and answering questions professionally. Just another reason why I wholeheartedly support FCA When I purchase trucks. Please keep us updated on this but I have two additional questions. 1...

Any update? Also throw a third tire into the mix Toyo open country AT3....

I just want to make sure the correct fluid is used. I have a degree in automotive technology and I know for a fact an API SN Oil is never designed to be operated in a diesel engine. Some manufacturers make oil that can be used in both gas/diesel engines and it would be rated API SN CJ. When I...

It’s not worth it to do the oil change yourself. The oil filters are different with this new motor and the engine takes more than 5 quarts… Additionally the fact is you run a risk of having your warranty claim denied. FCA is really tightening the screws on this. I have firsthand knowledge of...

Time out.... so you mean to tell me that an oil that is SN rated which is rated for spark ignition engines NOT compression ignition engines is what we are to use?!?! We’re gonna need a good explanation why we should not be using a diesel oil in our Diesel engines. Can you please provide us with...

Just an FYI the gear ratios that were posted in that chart are no longer accurate either.... We have minor gear ratio changes with the new 8HP75 transmission 4thGen / 5th Gen 8HP70 / 8HP75 First – 4.71/ 5.00 Second – 3.14/ 3.20 Third – 2.10/ 2.14 Fourth – 1.66/ 1.72 Fifth – 1.28/ 1.31 Sixth –...

Toyo AT2 or AT3? It’s in your best interest to not get the older AT2. Lift looks great!

It’s the cost of parts... Oil change should be between 200 to 250. They are very proud of the oil filter and require synthetic diesel oil. It’s insane... When it comes time to do the fuel filter expect to pay another 200 to 250 on top of the oil change. And yes def fluid. That runs about $10 a...

About the only thing you can do other than swapping the front diff and rear axle out is to install a taller tire that is still lightweight. Best option would be the 275/65/20 NItto Terra grappler G2. That tire weighs 47 pounds as long as you get the P rated tire. It is 11 inches wide same as...
