    Official thread for pictures of Ram towing campers

    I also have sumos and they are bumpy stiff. Sumo said they can be cut tapered to make the engagement softer. Interestingly, I used the spacer on an ORP truck and they ride on the sumos, so maybe skip that spacer. They do help towing.

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I think it’s been mentioned here before that the manifolds are lightened as much as theoretically possible, and real life and time will crack them. They could make perfectly fine manifolds that weigh 3 lbs more each, and suffer mpg and payload, but bean counters won’t allow that.

    How big have you towed? w/Pics no tricks!

    I’ve been thru all these problems also, both this and my previous truck. I emailed sumo and they said I could cut the “spring” to any tapered shape for the initial hit. I’ll get to it next summer.

    WTH are these?

    On previous street racing cars, I simply removed all of them. They have them on trans mounts, exhaust, etc.

    WTH are these?

    Hmmm - placeholder till I get home tomorrow. Looks like active units on mine, see year/trim/options in sig line.

    Engine stalled / shut off

    Just thinking out loud, but would you try dielectric or light bulb grease on the connectors first? Silicone spray, rtv ?

    Engine stalled / shut off

    The factory advances the VIN’s as customers come in and complain, loudly, often, and through Ramcares, and regional manager, and national manager of customer service.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The dealer washes my truck whenever the dealer needs to work on it, whether it needs it or not!

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I just hit 60k as well. I had both replaced a year ago, at 28k miles, and one side is leaking again. I have $100 deductible warranty thru 100k.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    The vent tube comes from a charcoal canister, and the same fueling symptoms happen when you overfill and soak the charcoal, so you want to spray liquid in it? It has been diagnosed as a sticky check valve in the vent solenoid, and if you had the time and finesse, I guess you could take the vent...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    What tool is the hub bearing assembly bolts? (#1) 4th gen uses a flexi shallow 18, especially the top, that must be jammed in and risks the boot as the bolt/socket comes out. PITA. GM is much easier, but more often 😄

    2019 Ram Hemi Engine Failure.

    If you're referring to the above pic, notice oil and trans temps. Idle time in "at temp" police cars is the usual failure mode. Just some thoughts of mine, not really diehard on anything. Goes in Monday for a loud engine rpm whine, probably etorque bearings. 59k

    Tread width vs tire width

    Tread width is a measurement given on tirerack or discounttires, etc, websites. You can look for that measurement on most tires. 275 is the sidewall bulge width on the listed measuring rim width. Tires like BFG AT's have a very wide tread width compared to bulge width, while a scorpion atr has a...

    Mid Travel Build

    Sumo recommended to me in an email that I could trim these progressively, like a cone, to get a softer initial hit, and in your case, more travel. I used to be a gunsmith, shaping butt pads, I'm sure a belt sander would work great on this material.

    2019 Ram Hemi Engine Failure.

    The video explains that the hellcat pump generates more psi at idle than a truck, charger, etc. I currently use sparingly remote start in MI winters, so idle pressure is important to me. While a small difference and somewhat anecdotal, if it's apart, why not? Now, what percent of police have...

    2019 Ram Hemi Engine Failure.

    Thinking this thru so I wouldn't be running around like a chicken with it's head cutoff. Preplanning keeps me calm and focused. I would assume the oil filter catches the lifter debris. Besides the cam and lifters, I would replace the oil pump with a new hellcat pump, and not get too worried to...

    Tie-rod end help

    I don't know if the tie rods are bad or not, but that looks like pickle fork damage to me. Which is why I never use a fork if I am going to reuse the joint, or at least boot.
