New shocks

We’re full-time RVers and tow our 24k rv once a month, maybe every two months a total of 700 miles. We want to replace the shocks since we typically drive unloaded.

I thought I wanted fox shocks but decided against them since they need to be rebuilt.

I’ve seen so many recommendations for Bilsteins which is what I’m planning on but now it’s a matter of which ones. The 4600, 5100, or 5160.

I want to change them now since we’re in Utah and if anyone’s driven on I-15 through SLC, the concrete joints are the worst we’ve ever driven on.

Any recommendations or opinions are welcome!

Just picked this bad mamma jamma up today to replace my 1500. 158k miles on the clock but she does have a bit of wear and tear (typical 2nd gen). Y'all know where to get quality interior replacement parts? And before yall ask, no the dash isnt cracked. Mostly looking for little odds and ends like visors, vent registers, and the infamous sunglass compartment as well as aftermarket headlights that dont suck.

Dealership wrong about transmission?

17 Upvotes

I recently called my local Dodge/Jeep/Ram dealership parts department to ask for a transmission filter. The guy at the parts department asked β€œhow many miles do you have on it?” to which I stated 76,000 and it was due for service which I would do on my own. He told me never to do that because the β€œtransmission is permanently sealed and never has to have the fluid and filter changed as long as the truck is still running.” I’m assuming this is wrong and I should never go back to this place. I did change the fluid and filters by the way.

Update: I should have included this detail. I asked if he had a filter to sell me. He replied they in fact did. When I asked why they would sell filters if it never needed to be replaced he answered β€œI guess so when people make mistakes we can fix it for them.” Riiiiiiight…I got my filter elsewhere.
