Took it to the dealer this morning for oil change, tire rotation and multipoint inspection including all the differential fluids and factory air suspension. We are ready to roll on our first trip in a couple of weeks....

Well, I've sort of having an odd tow vehicle day. My Ram 2500 is down with a bad vibration in the rear end. I'm hoping it is something simple like a bad universal, but I will not have a chance to take a look at it before Saturday at the earliest.

To make things even more interesting, my wife's Ram 1500 is currently sitting along the highway with the water pump blown apart. We have to be in 2 completely different places tomorrow. Looks like a call to Enterprise will be happening first thing in the morning.

That's exactly what I was just thinking. And, if I wasn't so dang cheap, I would have purchased one when I started looking at them.

I just past 25 years of owning a Cummins Powered Ram at the beginning of May. I've never had as much trouble with any vehicle as I have with my current 2500. It is enough to keep an open mind about what to buy next.

Don’t blame you at all. I just like to get my ford jabs in where I can. Ford Motor Co put profits before my family and for that I will never buy another. Between Ram and GM I hold no loyalties but I can’t buy a blue oval, not yet anyway. Going on 5 years now since the debacle.
Sucks about the Ram though. I hope you find a solution.

I think the solution is to treat it like a pavement princess. I actually work my truck and this one just has never been able to handle it. Granted, I've had it a long time, but the number of repetitive repairs has been rediculous. Ball joints, u-joints, suspension parts over and over again.

Changed Out the OLD Air Intake

I changed out the cold air intake. Truck already is more responsive with the cold air upgrade. Now will be changing the exhaust from factory to Aero- Turbine exhaust, which I know will boost my diesel horse power by 10 to 15 more hp.

I changed out the Cold Air Intake with upgrade from factory CAI. Truck has more response already. Next, I'm changing the exhaust from factory to Aero-Turbine Exhaust for increased diesel hp which should give me 10 to 15 more hp with the new cold air intake.
