2025 RAM 2500 HD : First Impressions

RE: seats, any chance you could upgrade soon off of a salvage late-model Ram of a more expensive trim package?

Sweet truck!!!

Is it just me or are modern day seats just too short? They hit me mid-thigh and dont support your legs enough. On long trips can get really uncomfortable

To me, I think everyone changed the angle of the seat portion. I hated it in my Explorer Sport, and it was a higher trim package.
I hated the JT too, then I heard about Seat Jackers, tried them, and the change in angle of the seat made a HUGE improvement.

they did, measured the JL against the JK and they are shorter and also angled the opposite direction if you adjust the height.
first I tried the seat extenders to allow them to slide back further, helped a little but when I installed the seat jackers, much better.

I'll be removing the extenders and using only the seat jackers
 
I deleted my 2023 ram mega cab. Look up dirty diesel customs. That’s who I used. They don’t have anything out for the 2025 yet but they will. I deleted it myself also which was pretty easy. Just a tuner, unplug a few things under the hood and remove the crazy exhaust and bolt/weld a new one on. Your fuel mileage will go WAY up. I’m driving a gmc right now but I will be getting a new ram 3500 in February for sure.
 
Eddie you probably already know. But there's 2 fuel filters on the Cummins motors or there was on my 3500. One was around $300, it can be changed every other oil change. And the spare doesn't have a tpms on it, at least my 3500 didn't have one on the spare.

Definitely cost savings with DIY, when my Dad takes his 3500 to the dealer for oil/filter and fuel filter change it’s around $600 to get out of there.
 
The really expensive one I actually changed it every 3rd oil change. I had a extra 115 gallon tank in the bed that had a filter from it to main tank. When I didn't have a camper hooked to the truck, I could fill up in Kingman and go all the way back to Elkhart IN before I needed to fill up again
 
LOL - well son of a bitch. Went to pull my dump trailer today and got the following message on the EVIC.

After doing some looking around, I noticed that the minus button on the gain control was stuck in the pushed in position.

I tried tapping at it and looked to see if there was any way to pull it out but no go :(

Needless to say, I guess I need to take this truck with just 1500 miles on the odometer into the dealership :rolleyes:

Sucks to waist time at the dealer. Had the same message on my truck which turned out an update to the trail break module was needed.
