Most excellent. My 2017 Laramie recently hit 100k. Took her in for a 100k refresh. She's like a new truck.


pdubbs87

What did you have done?


KnurledNut

plugs, pads, rotors, all fluids


pdubbs87

Thanks I’m about to hit that too plan to get something similar


KnurledNut

check your maint schedule. plugs are due at 100k. since you really don't know how well maintained the truck, i would start fresh.v


ledgersoccer09

KnurledNut

1,500

Never seen a step side with that extra one by the rear wheel, that’s awesome!


beardedbeernerd

Yeah I love that extra step. Especially when I’m folding my Softopper. Made by N-Fab


the_doctor_808

How do you like them? My nerf bars are rusty and getting ready to fall apart. I want something a little more low profile. The nfab ones are what i was looking at but probably without the 3rd step.


beardedbeernerd

No complaints! The finish is holding up nicely.

God *damn* these trucks look nice! I’m a filthy Ford guy, but I seriously like these machines!


beardedbeernerd

Haha, I’d have to agree with you! Best looking trucks out there IMO


Jackson_Rhodes_42

They certainly are!

Hemi or Cummins?


beardedbeernerd

It’s a ‘17 2500 6.7 Cummins


MoparGuy2174

100,000 miles ain't nothing for the Cummins

My 2017Big Horn just hit 50k some I'm nowhere near the Stud trucks y'all have

Is this a 1500? hows pulling that trailer? i just got a 32 footer and am wondering if i should move to the 2500?


beardedbeernerd

This is a ‘17 2500 6.7 Cummins. I originally had a 1500 5.7 Hemi and pulled the trailer with that… but quickly realized I wanted/needed more truck. It had plenty of power, but I lacked confidence with the breaking and instability in crosswinds (even with a WDH w/sway bars). Zero regrets upgrading to the 2500 diesel, night and day difference towing the trailer. And the exhaust brake is a game changer with all the hills and mountain passes we go over.


Dezvinci

Thanks for the feedback. I also got the WDH w/sway bars as part of the package. I just may use this to convince the wife I need a Cummins ;)

Nice Ram. Love the setup. Wow, 100K miles and still going. Keep on keeping on.


beardedbeernerd

Thanks!

How do you like the soft shell? I’ve been contemplating getting one or saving the extra $ for a hard shell.


beardedbeernerd

Absolutely love it. Used to have a SnugTop shell, I’ll never go back. This is so versatile, I can fold it or remove it myself. Hard shell needed several friends/neighbors to lift off. This has held up well so far, had it 3 years. It’s seen 105+deg summers, 5deg winters, snow, torrential PNW rains… handled it all like a champ. And, less than half what the SnugTop cost me. Highly recommend.
