Great vid mate. I have a ‘23 Ram 1500 Limited. We own a 4t ATM off road van. We are looking at doing some more remote traveling with both units. I’m a tad paranoid re the rear axle & the issues surrounding the thin wall surrounding the wheel bearings. JMACX do a diff upgrade. Is that what you had done?
G'day Brad, it's great to hear from you and I am glad you like the vid. We had a GVM 4.3t upgrade done by Monster Offroad out of Castlemaine Vic - Beau the owner. He's a young fella mid 20s but does an outstanding job on the GVM upgrade. The pros are certainly Beau's craftmanship and quality, our GVM is now 18mths old and it hasn't missed as beat and I had no issues with obtaining the compliance on our WA registration for the upgrade [Post Rego]. The con is the cost and his timeframes, which may have changed since we had ours done. So, we went from 1760kgs rear axle to 2500kgs tested to 3400kgs, the strengthening, gearing, control arms etc. makes a massive difference when driving a heavy van. Like you our van is 4t, but I have the Laramie, with your Limited it is very different in terms of GVM upgrade as your electronic air system is a more complex. On a positive note, Beau has done some excellent engineering work on the Limited including the rear chassis bracing, which is a must on the Limited variant. I initially was keen on the JMACX system, but when I bought my 21 RAM, they decided not to do GVM upgrades on the RAMs, as the Landcruiser 300s were coming out, so they targeted the demand. JMACX are an excellent product, and worthy for the GVM upgrade, in my circumstances I travelled to Castlemaine Vic to get Monster Off road to do my work. I reckon you do a comparison between the two, I did check JMAXC website and note the Limited 4.2t GVM upgrade is TBC in 2024. Either way you have some good options for the Limited. Let me know how you go. Cheers, Chris👍
Looking good. Keep the content coming.
