Your Truck looks good with the bigger tires. My last 2 Rams were silver, wanted something different this time although the next one will probably be back to silver as it is a low maint color.

Pretty sure the dealer could of changed the pressure threshold for the tire sensors since the Powerwagon comes with D rated tires. With the Bullydog tuner, you are supposed to be able to change the threshold as well as the tire size.

Worch and Phil I am interested in the post, my 2500 has 3.73s and is stock across the board. I have a tonneau cover from my Chevy 1500- that doesn't fit but works until I pick the one I want out. I get avg 15.2 mpg with driving 90% on highway speeds between 67-70mph through mountain areas of Pa. I dropped to 10 ish in neighborhood driving. I have only 2500 miles on the truck right. I did get 17.2 on the same highway route driving 60-65 mph. Here is a pic of mine. Keep the info coming thanks.

hi joe, i got the dealer I bought the truck from to put the levelling kit in, that way if there were issues with install or warranty it was all on them. They put in the 2" Rev Tech kit, it still rides really good and that's with same stock shocks up front and bigger tires.
question: do u guys notice a faint squealing when u give it gas when driving? sort of like an exhaust leak sound up front?

There is a slight noise on the 2500 up with the Hemi, as you mention sounds like an exhaust leak. It is normal, lot's of guys have reported it. I believe that it is the thin heat shields on the front Y pipe resonating. Could be wrong though.

This is not the famous Hemi tick sound. Totally different.

Are there any solutions yet? It's a little annoying.

There is no fix that I know of. On one of the other forums, there was a big thread with no resolution. Guys have added the JBA Shorties and it still made the noise. I installed a Corsa Catback, no change but has a nice rumble out back. The only thing left would be the Y pipe and convertors with the thin shields hence my thought on that being the source of the noise.
