    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    As much as I love my current truck, it’s just a bit long. Also I think when I tried the back country package it will not allow the Ecodiesel

    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    Thanks for the replies, got some stuff to think about. I have always thought the 5.5 box was kind of useless, but I really don’t haul a lot of big stuff anymore. Maybe I will go that route with a crew cab to get a shorter truck. Also, the 33 gallon tank which I really want only comes in that...

    Laramie to Bighorn, crew to quad, anyone done so?

    Currently have a 20 Laramie crew 6.5, love the truck but thinking about something new. Kids are both driving now and don’t really need a full crew cab. Also pretty interested in switching from the hemi to a diesel. Been playing around building trucks on Ram site, options have really been cut...

    Dedicated winter tires

    Looking for some feedback. Recently traded for an extra set of 20” wheels for my 1500 Laramie. Looking for some close to factory size LT/E rated winter tires. 265/60R20 is about the only size with E rated winter tires available and they are pretty limited. I have run a few different options...

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Has anyone gotten any resolution on this? Mine has this same metallic clank or pop randomly on startup. Quite loud. Read through most of the thread, doesn’t seem to be much in the way of answers. To me it sounds like driveline slap or coming up against the parking pawl, or possibly the...

    Truck rear end sway

    Figured I would update since it has been a while. Here is where I’m at as of now, upgraded to Hellwig sway bar, upgraded to heavier sway bar links with poly bushings, upgraded to heavier track bar with poly bushings, upgraded tires to E range. There is still a bit of a rattle somewhere in the...

    Truck rear end sway

    Just a thought about some of the above statements, I have heard about some of the issues with the front sway bar links. Maybe have been looking in the wrong place with rear end stuff, might be front end related? Also does anyone have the torque specs for the suspension components, 4 link ends...

    Truck rear end sway

    Interesting that you mention this, I too have noticed a rattle somewhere when if I go over a rough section of road. Can’t quite pinpoint the location. Actually made a trip with trailer today, still a bit of a handful. It just feels to me like there is something not quite tight that allows a...

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Figured I would chime in, got 6k miles on my 2020, Laramie CCLB 5.7 non e torque 3.21. Only change I have made is put on E range tires stock size and splash guards. Average is 13.9 mpg to date, way worse than I expected. I drive very conservatively and watch the instant readout, shows about...

    towing, some questions.

    In relation to tow haul mode, I found mine to hold a lower gear way to long after cresting a hill. I believe it’s more of a learning thing, once you run in it for a while it does improve. Also found that running in cruise control seems to make it want to hold a lower gear. If I drive it...

    Truck rear end sway

    That is the part that bugs me, I bought this truck partly because of the great towing reviews. I have checked all the obvious and easy stuff, air pressures etc first, lots of towing experience. Then started upgrading one at a time, tires, sway bar, to see if each was the problem. Have tried...

    Truck rear end sway

    Trailer is a 21’x7’ v nose cargo weighs 2000 empty no more than 4000 loaded most times less. Have tried tongue weight from 400 to 700 ish doesn’t seem to matter much. My 14x7 does the same thing but is lighter. Pulled friends 27’ same issue. If I need a WDH for this light of a trailer the...

    Truck rear end sway

    Update, went to dealer today, tech did not find anything obviously “broken” or “loose”. Honestly did not expect any different. Service writer said he believes what I am telling him but cannot do much without something to point to or multiple complaints on same issue to kick it up the ladder...

    Truck rear end sway

    I don’t know if the wheelbase is different from the short box but generally a longer wheelbase is more stable and a better towing platform than a shorter one

    Truck rear end sway

    That sucks, it seems there are a handful of these trucks with this problem out there. I agree it is unnerving at best and scary if roads are bad. Truck is going to dealer tomorrow, I don’t have much faith they will find anything but you never know. Going to lean on them pretty hard, I bought...
