Factory tech……..tires set to 90 for transportation, when tied down on train or transport truck they won’t flat spot. That’s the reason, should be adjusted to door sticker at time of delivery. All fluids are in truck when built, including 5 gallons of fuel.
The 2 hour ride home was garbage and then I realized that I bought a RAM.
I tried hitting the traction control off button after a friend of mine said it would help increase MPG, and found it added about 2 MPG with my 6.4L Hemi in my 2018 Power Wagon. Takes a bit to keep remembering to hit it every time I get in the truck, but after a while it becomes a habit. Also started doing that with my 2016 Wrangler JK and got about the same improvement.
They sell them to do work not just drive around. Most people that by trucks use them as trucks. Check your manual for weight load
I put light duty tires on my RAM 2500 and drove around with 30 psi. It was a standard cab with gas motor and rear wheel drive. This was before tire sensors. The truck, empty, was lighter than a four wheel drive light duty truck.
My 21 Ram 2500 was also set at 90 psi. The ride was terrible! I was so bummed. I keep mine at 70ish so I don’t have to air up when I tow heavy. MUCH better ride. Ride also has gotten better as springs have been loaded/unloaded several cycles.
On my 2017 Ram 2500 Cummins, even 200 pounds in the bed dramatically improved the ride-on stock tires and PSI
Great talk about dealer prep. My tires are at 74-ish psi from dealer still having only about 1,050 miles on new truck. I just had all the snow plow equipment mounted and I built a ballast box for behind the rear wheel well of the 8ft bed. Plow is about 740 lbs on front and 540 ballast in rear to even axle weight distribution. I was thinking of getting a leveling kit....still deciding which one. I am definitely going to lower psi on tires and see what that does. Appreciate the user experience you share in your videos.
$500 for a sway bar? Nah.. ill get used to the stock ones..
Brand new 80k truck, I would bring it right back to the dealer and make then fix the tire PSI.
Nick, great vid and totally true on the front. I pull trailers long freeway miles 6,000lb-10,000 on my 2021 Power Wagon. The Thuren rear track bar is totally needed too. I was fish tailing so bad i thought i had flat tires and The Thuren kit solved the issue.
Thanks for posting this. I just got a 2022 3500 Limited CTD HO a month ago. I've been trying to deal with the rough ride. I checked the PSI as you suggested, sure enough, all tires are between 88 and 92 psi. Much appreciated!
Your truck looks awesome. When I watched your first vids and you talked about replacing the chrome with the black trim, I wasn't sure where you were going with this. But then with the replacement bumpers and the fender flares, and the leveling, now I see it. It looks good. I hope your channel grows. I think it's a good resource for straight talk about moderately big projects you can do yourself. Can't wait to see what else you do with your truck.
Thanks for the tire video! Learned a lot thinking about the variances in researching tires for my f250.
Thank you for the great videos packed with great information
excellent explanation of exactly what im contemplating. Thank you!!
Great info! Wish I knew about the tire pressure issue a couple months ago when I test drove a new 2023 RAM 2500 Rebel with less than 10 miles on the odometer. The ride felt terribly rough around the town roads and county highways. It sure would have helped to know about checking the tire pressure, as I ended up walking away from the deal. 🤨
I run the recommend 60 in the front because the truck is still heavy in the front. I keep 40 in the back when not towing. AlphaOBD will allow you to change your own min pressures.
Pretty good info. I am about to begin the effort of doing whatever I can to improve the ride of my 99 F250 7.3. Was going to buy a new 2024 truck but seems like there is millions of new trucks around and the drive out price was ridiculous. And I like my 99 7.3 so have decided to budget in a full suspension change plus new wheels and tires. Plus new paint etc. And keep it.
Good stuff. I had my TPMS changed at the dealer to my happy place. I add air when towing or with payload. Thank you.
