    2019 Ram 3500 DRW 2500 Mile Update

    I too had a dash rattle when new, but could not get it into the dealership before we left on a 9,000 mile trip. By the time we returned home, the rattle was gone. I thought maybe Ram had come up with a self healing dash!

    Max tire size on stock 2500

    Mine are essentially a 35/11.50 and they do not rub. My odometer is off by 5% and the speedo is off by 3%. I just live with the difference.

    TFL 2019 Power Wagon... review?

    You are not the first I've seen express this, and it puzzles me a bit. I just had a guy ride in the back seat of my CC who is 6' 5" and 325#. He stated he was very comfortable and had plenty of room. Are you maybe refering to the lack of room in a 1500 Quad Cab versus a Crew Cab

    2020 Ram 2500 HD - looks outdated already

    A sunroof is a deal breaker for me certainly.

    I’m in Love with the Ram 2500

    The one pictured appears to be a 392. I'm getting 15.4 average over the first 7000 miles. I too like the looks, but not everyone does.

    2020 Ram 2500 HD - looks outdated already

    I know the 1500 is bigger than before, but I had no idea it was that much bigger! Take this for what it's worth as it is an opinion.... If I had to choose between bed length or wheelbase over leg room, I would pick bed length or shorter wheel base any day. Even the short wheel base is a...

    2020 Ram 2500 HD - looks outdated already

    Do you mean smaller than a 2019 1500? My comparison is between the Gen IV cab which seems to be the same, as would be expected. I hadn't considered the new 1500 being bigger, but I guess it is.

    2020 Ram 2500 HD - looks outdated already

    I own a "new" 2500 392. It is a Tradesman, but is VERY quiet on the highway. It is getting 1.5 mpg better than my 2016 Bighorn did with 3.73s. It is taller than my 2016 was. I like the styling update and the improvements they've made on these trucks. As for the comment on the interior...

    I'm at 4500 miles right now averaging 15.5 mpg. I'm very happy with that.

    New 2019 Tradesman 2500

    Finally got the truck back today. It's too early to tell if there will be any measureable gains from this, as I've seen in the past, but I like the sound. It's louder under light acceleration around town and when really standing on it, but otherwise it is mellow. My fuel economy was...

    Well as sometimes happens, he did not have a 3 1/2" in and out muffler on hand. So the truck is in the muffler shop until Monday afternoon. I guess I'm stuck with my Jeep 'till Monday.

    New 2019 Tradesman 2500

    I'm sitting at the shop now. It will be a Magnaflow just like I had on my Power Wagon. It seemed to make the motor more responsive and it did improve gas mileage about 1 mpg. We'll see how it works on this one.

    I'm headed to the muffler shop tomorrow for a Resonatordectomy and Muffler Transplant.....both very serious procedures, but the prognosis is for complete recovery and much better performance.

    New 2019 Tradesman 2500

    So here's the weight scoop. These numbers are for the truck with me driving and 1/2 tank of gas. Steer axle 4150 Rear axle 2950 Total 7100 So from this we can estimate true empty wt for my truck as approximately 6600#, which gives me an actual usefull load of 3400#. My...

    New 2019 Tradesman 2500

    I've spent the last hour doing research on numbers. I notice in the chart above there is both a 10000# and a 9900# GVWR. That must be for tax reasons in states like CA. 10,000# or over is probably licensed and taxed as commercial.....maybe? Mine is 10,000# on the door. Sorry for the bad...
