    Drivetrain Concerns

    I couldn't find the weight for the tires, even on Cosmo website. Granted, you already ordered them, based on price I'm sure, but might have been better off getting a lighter tire.

    Drivetrain Concerns

    There is no way each wheel/tire is 100lbs. I looked it up and the wheels are 45lba each. Tires don't weigh 60+ lbs

    Drivetrain Concerns

    There is absolutely no way your new wheels and tires are twice as heavy as the factory set up. They would have to be over 100lbs per corner.

    Strange issue

    Make sure you didn't accidentally hit the button that toggles whether lights come on when doors open or not. It's on overhead console

    Key Fob Issues

    Common issue on the 25s. There is a software update to fix it, supposedly.

    180 degree thermostat

    Shutter will open up if engine gets got. I do not know what that temp is, but since the fans don't turn on until 224 Is imagine the shutters are about the same temp range.

    180 degree thermostat

    The heavy towing is definitely a cause. The engine has to work harder to therefore the cooling system has to work harder. If you haven't disabled the grill shutters, then until the engine gets too hot, they will block some crucial airflow, with engine under constant load. then the efans don't...

    180 degree thermostat

    You do have the active grill shutters that restrict some flow at highway speeds. I can almost guarantee it isn't a thermostat issue. Unless the one you have is failing. Which should show up when not towing as well because the thermostat doesnt know if there is a trailer connected or not

    180 degree thermostat

    Change the fan turn on temps in your tune and you will not see that 222 coolant temp. When the fans don't come on until that temp, it's not a thermostat issue

    What’s everyone doing for wiper blades these days?

    It's recommended to change your wiper blades at least once a year. Walwuid you live in areas of extreme weather, like extreme heat/sun or extreme cold/ice

    180 degree thermostat

    Volume doesn't increase. Just timing of when the thermostats open. Your coolant is constantly circulating in the block, and through heater core before thermostat ever opens. You said you were hitting 220+ when towing. That's not something a lower temp thermostat will fix, unless there is an...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Possibly just a test or orogramming connector for the module.

    180 degree thermostat

    You completely misunderstood everything I said. Once they are open the flow rates are the same. A 180 thermostat, fully open by 185, flows the same as a 203 thermostat fully open by 208. If your engine, with a 203 thermostat is hitting 220 degrees, dropping to a 180 thermostat isnt going to...

    180 degree thermostat

    S that's not how thermostats work. The amount they flow is pretty much the same whether you have a 160 thermostat or a 210 thermostat. The only thing that changes is when they open. And as bigDodge said, if your thermostat isn't opening until 220 then you may just need a new thermostat. My...

    Overheated?

    Check your radiator hoses to make sure they arent leaking. Also, there has been several recent posts about radiators leaking. As for your engine temps sound alien the truck is performing as designed from factory.

    180 degree thermostat

    What "major" benefit do you get from a 180 stat exactly??

    180 degree thermostat

    If you were hitting 220, when towing, with the factory thermostat, going to a 180 or 190 won't prevent it from getting that hot again. Will just extend the time it takes to get that warm. the factory thermostat was fully open by 205, so the only reason it should get hotter than say 210 would be...

    RWD Lifts

    There is no difference between Rwd and 4wd lift kits. Other than you won't need the transfer case lowering stuff if going tall lift on RWD I would suggest the Bilstien 5100 for a front level.
