Hey guys. Im new in trucks, finally i bought my first truck a ram laramie 2009 full equip. I got the truck with 52,000 miles (84,000 km). I´ve heard that at 50,000 miles (80,000 km) is the maintenance for the 4wd and for the transmision. Can you help me with that, what is the maintenance that i must give to the truck?

First, I'd say follow the owner's manual, but here's what I do to my vehicles: Drop the trans pan every 50,000 miles clean magnet, replace filters, put the pan back on. I use Mopar RTV and follow directions. Refill trans with 8quarts of Mopar ATF+4. Change front and rear differentials, refill with Mopar synthetic gear lube + 1 bottle friction modifier if you have rear limited slip. I pump out old power steering lube, refill with ATF+4. Check antifreeze, top off if needed. If you have it on a lift, inspect u-joints, tie rod ends, ball joints, brake pads and rotors. I run washable air filters K&N and Vararam, clean when they start to look dirty. My Dodge Magnum has 300,000 miles, Ram 200,000. I also send oil samples to Blackstone Labs.

Best 22" wheel and tire combo for 2009 1500 4x2

I'm looking for the best looking 22" wheel and tire combo and to keep it within the body line and good on all clearances and tire pressure sensor acceptable. I was looking at Centerline wheels because I like cast aluminum, to me they're the easiest to take care of in Florida and will last a lifetime. What size and spacing will work? And I need tires too? Thnx:)
