    Trailer Wiring Issues

    The bumper is a separate harness, so that should be easy as well. BUT, my bodyshop broke the body side plug to the bumper harness, and mine is held together with a ziptie now. Clean the bail handle before trying to rotate the disconnect. Yes, it is all cheap crap.

    You still have a back seat?? :)

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Got the Wolfstorm preliminarily installed Saturday, I'll try to add pics later today. In summary, it is a very low quality unit. It has about 40% of the needed welds missing or incomplete, shipping wore off paint in many places, and there is no primer under the paint. You get what you pay for...

    Snorkel

    Technically, the 2500 is still 4th gen sheet metal. They may be close enough to work. You may be able to adapt it to your truck, or any other part # if things under the hood don't scare you. Would you consider any universal fit snorkels then? Wish I had more help.

    Towing the new camper

    I'd be in favor of adding a camping sub forum. Another moto site I'm on does sub forums like this proposed very well.

    You are correct. OEM -2+3.5=~1 mph.

    Towing in Aero mode?

    If it felt better in aero, you probably need to adjust the WDH again, in aero mode. When you lowered, you got more tongue weight transfer (spring bar action) to the truck front axle, so you didn't have enough at NRH.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Thanks for the clarification guys. I don't think I have that piece anywhere else then either, and I guess I don't know what my tailgate does with the door locks. And the reason I had to change it: All the cracks made the bumper too floppy to use.

    This is from ADD's website directions, but mine is empty there. Wolfstorm pics didn't explain anything.

    DT Acceleration Slow Compared to DS

    Thanks for doing this work Darksteel. Sad that a FCA engineer got paid to program crap like this. I would think gear zero is a release of hydraulic pressure to make stopping easier (in winter) and smoother with a tight converter. In an auto trans, without hydraulic pressure applied to a certain...

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Got the Wolfstorm in the mail yesterday, gonna need some cleanup grinding, welding, and repaint, but it's still a nice unit. Backup lights came with it, but I don't think I'll bother with them at the moment. No comments on backing into somebody again! 😄 Anybody know if Tradesman has a key...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I don’t know what series red chose, but stiffer bushings or heim type joints would help reduce sway when towing.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    I ordered the Wolfstorm. Will check the welds and repaint as needed. Probably Rustoleum flat black and then bed liner.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    Update on my slight accident. Plastic rear bumper couldn't be pulled back into any reasonable usage, so my body guy called for a price - $900 for the plastic bumper (out of pocket, at fault). Uh, no. So I'm looking in earnest now.

    Extended Travel CV Shaft

    '19-'24 will be the same IN THE 5TH GENS. Now, the 4th gen continued on in production also, so that is the question that you need to ask Trakmotive. Any love for RCV?

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I pulled a dump trailer half full of shingles and other non-burnable-in-town plastic trash to the dump. If your trailer dumps, they send you to the top of the pile, and you drive around on trash to a spot they point you to to dump. Now, trash does not hold your weight like solid ground. In 4wd...

    Replacement Lug Nuts

    Costco said the same, altho they really wanted an upsell at the time, one yr old. I have no idea how anyone could pay $12 per nut; that's ridiculous. Shop around.

    Aftermarket rear replacement bumper revisited

    The upgrades from your crappy situation also likely cost the insurance co' less than OEM, so they probably say sure for that reason. I like the idea of strength, but I got etorque already cutting into payload, that I wish I never ordered, so I probably am looking for a slimmer, simpler design. I...

    Cost of living OT posts from What did you do to your Ram today???

    Apparently political. A 5th grader could see that the quote was because all 5 states listed are coastal states. Politics in mcds prices? Would've got more respect if you left politics out of it. Back on topic...
