    Ongoing abnormal treadwear issue?

    I made a post about this the other day but I'm also dealing with this issue. Took to the dealer and they saw no issue with the alignment. It's the very outer edge. I'd say about 1/2 of the outer tread pattern is measuring 8/32-9/32. All other tread is at 11/32. I'm on General Grabber ATX...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    All you guys are making me want to expedite my plans for an "RV barn". Plan is to have a lean to dedicated to housing an RV of some sort. The main portion of the barn will be home gym/man cave with potential for living space. The other lean to will be a dedicated sports area for my kids/grand...

    Brown Sludge on Coolant Dipstick?

    I completely flushed my Mazda and went back in with the Peak 10yr. It's been doing great thus far. Probably do that on my truck once I hit 100k. I've not had a single issue with my coolant gelling or running hot since I saw this many miles ago. Thanks for the write up.

    Question on alignment and tire wear

    Went to Discount Tire yesterday for my normal rotation. They informed me that the insides of all 4 tires are at 11/32nd but the outside of all 4 have worn down to between 8/32nd and 9/32nd. Recommended to have it looked at. Took to the dealer today and they said the alignment looks fine. I...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I wash my truck sparingly because I honestly don't have time and don't want swirls from car washes. I've been having great results with the simple ceramic spray "waxes". Paint stays slick and I usually get the enhanced ease of washing dirt off. I'm sure there are benefits to ceramic coatings but...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    You can tell when it's stopped working when the water during a wash stops beading/sheeting the way that it was prior. Nothing major but did an oil change at 64k. I'm averaging about 6500 miles between oil changes. Attempted to do my transmission service with the blauparts kit. Got under the...

    When to do transmission service ?

    Just had mine completed at 65k miles with the blauparts kit. Was going to do it myself but the fill plug gave me fits. Found a transmission shop with great reviews near me who charged $150 for labor. Immediately scheduled an appointment and took my truck down off my stands lol.

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    Yea I get what you're saying but I'm also telling you I got 2.75" of lift with a 1" spring and clip 3 on my 4x4 truck.

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    Interesting that they changed from this graphic apparently. With brand new ORG springs and 3rd clip I got 2.75" of lift on my truck at time of installation.

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    Yep, I believe when I was deciding everything that I went for a total of 2.8". somewhere along the way I'd read that more than 3" of lift would cause issues unless remedied by additional suspension equipment. Check out this post and the one below it. Post in thread 'Eibach E60-27-011-03-10 -...

    Eibach shocks/level - WOW

    My truck has the ORG and I have my clip set at 1.8". You'll be fine.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Ordered the Blauparts ZF8 service kit. Gonna change it out during my Thanksgiving vacation. Transmission service always makes me nervous for some reason but I got it.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Gotcha, I wasn't making the connection about the new one being easier to replace because it's not had time to get "set" in.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I'm confused - you have upgraded cv axles you want to put on but you're having the dealer replace the OEM one? You just want a spare OEM or something?

    Purchase for High Miles '19-'22 Longhorn/Limited

    Yea, I'd agree that 80k is on the low side for what I'd consider high mileage. Depends on the year too however. Regardless, I've got a 2020 hemi with the etorque sitting at right around 63,000 miles. Truck has been near flawless save for the exhaust manifolds. As mentioned previously some...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    That's what I've done on other vehicles. This video suggests taking it to 2nd gear and I feel like the official ZF recommendation is the same. Idk that it would matter really but it's one small thing I'm willing to handle.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I plan on following this. The hardest part will be moving the exhaust system to get the oil pan down and figure out a way to be able to shift gears without a lift. Was thinking maybe taking the tires off while the rear is on jack stands would suffice. I'd leave my front supported by ramps. Could...

    Rebel Suspension on a Big Horn

    Your post is giving me ptsd from when Ram shipped several hundred BTS trucks with the wrong springs lol. I also recommend eibach. When I got my warranty work done to put the proper springs on I got the dealer to install my eibachs for free. They've been great for 40k miles.

    Battery Tender for E-torque

    It's jscan for iPhones. Alfaodb is the equivalent for android devices. I use an OBDLink mx+ that I've had for several years. Great device. I'd say you may have a bad 12v tbh. Unfortunately I want to say I've read reports of the AGMs testing "good" but not being legitimate. I'll have to test...
