Maybe a little unrelated, since the thread is more focused on towing, but I drive a 2500 Promaster, and because of the lower HP (280), I find the Tow/Haul button invaluable, especially in the hills and mountains. No, it obviously doesn’t raise the Horsepower. But it does make a more solid...

With your Promaster at 500k, curious question from a fellow Promaster driver. How often did you change transmission fluid and filter? Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

I do wish that the 2500 Promaster was longer. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

I will be trying those bulbs next. I had an extra bulb in my last purchase. Other bulb went out. Everything I went through on the other side also happened here. Both pieces that broken are now broken on both sides. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

I love Mobile1 oil, but it never had the Chrysler number on it. Sent from my iPhone using EO Forums

I’ve owned Chevrolet trucks since 1999, and they had 2 pins holding in the light, pull them out and you’re ready to change the bulb. I drove a 2012 Sprinter last year, and it was a similar quick change. The reason I went with Promaster over Transit is I’m 6’6”, and in a Promaster I can lay...

So, you think you’re going to change a bulb in 5 minutes on a Promaster, like I did? I say nay nay. Be prepared to spend 40 minutes and potentially break a few things. First, you’ll need a 4 way/phillips head screwdriver, a 10mm socket, needle nose pliers, and it helps if you have a deep seated...

I did my first oil change at 8k miles. The oil was certainly darker, but it still seemed to have some life to it. Also, I’m beginning to see why people would just put in 6 quarts and go. I’ve been trying to keep it so dead on in the zone, but in the end, I don’t see the extra oil really going...

Pardon this noob, but what is a FF?

Reviving a dead thread with wonderful information. Has anything changed for 2019? Yes, Espar is the best. I don’t have the cabbage for it. Are any of you still running your Buddy Heater with 20 galling propane tank? I don’t want to idle my vehicle at night anymore.

Will do and will do!

I have a 2018 Ram Promaster 2500. Recently, my wife showed me some bottles of meds she had placed on the upper dash glove box on the passenger side, the heat had melted and warped the bottles. I initially thought it was heat in a closed area that amplified how hot it got in there, but since...

I appreciate that. Owner’s manual says every 4,000 miles, if you’re on dusty, dirty roads, and idling a lot. The more I think about it, I don’t idle the vehicle as much as, say, someone making multiple deliveries a day, leaving the vehicle to run all day, every day. If I’m not moving, the...

On a related note, I ran into a fellow Promaster owner, who said he’s had 2 engines last only 140,000 miles. I obviously don’t know his maintenance record, but it was unnerving to hear. I’ve read some of you have had your engines last much longer. I’m hoping correct maintenance and keeping the...

Quick update. Been using the Quaker State Full Synthetic. Had it in the van over Christmas/New Year, so was in longer than normal, and was idled more than normal. Didn’t go over 4K miles, was just a lot more short mileage driving on the holidays. Wasn’t too impressed with the Quaker State oil...

Congratulations! Do you think this move will introduce a lot of new drivers?

I am so going to get a quick drain plug.

2 Things To Add: 1 - When I went to purchase oil, Walmart was out of Pennzoil. I found a Quaker State Full Synthetic that has the MS-6395 approval. It’s less expensive than Pennzoil. I’ll update when I change again on how well it held up. 2 - Since the drain bolt is in the bottom corner, I...

I have a gasser and even I’m in suspense.
