    Engine makes a loud ticking sound

    Is it a heavy tick/knock sound, also if you can find a way to put some "load" on it while accelerating, maybe by applying brakes to see if you can tell if the tick/knock gets louder or "harder, you should be able to do those 2 tests in your driveway. Also try to tell if you can identify whether...

    Hitch Load Limit 2018 Ram 1500 ED Laramie

    Do you have a receiver type hitch? If so it's probably rated 500 lbs tongue wt, you can use load leveler hitches and take some of the load off, can also use a sway control to help control the trailer.

    Sofa King Tuned Engine and Transmission Tune COMBO ONLY $720

    I've been told that the first 2 or 3 years didn't have DEF sensors, BUT, the parts catalogue lists the tank/w sensor for 2014 & up, so either they had it OR they just superseded the part number and kept it to one part number and no wires to plug in, IDK, one member has said that you need to keep...

    Sofa King Tuned Engine and Transmission Tune COMBO ONLY $720

    Stage 1 SFT allows you to use distilled water in place of DEF if that's what you want to do, I'm currently running about 50% DEF.

    TN, KY custom repair shops?

    The exhaust houses the DPF filter, SCR chamber, oxygen sensors, DEF injector, etc, they're all emissions controls, I think the the fine for a first time offense is 50k.

    TN, KY custom repair shops?

    It's illegal for a shop to remove emissions, there's a huge fine involved, huge enough to put the average small shop out of business.

    Oil fill cap

    Hmm, I've never heard of it just coming off, someone probably didn't get it on right, it takes about a quarter turn to secure it properly.

    looking for 2015 repair manual

    Yeah, it is complex and also some special tools for the cam timing, probably others as well, a little ingenuity will probably come up with homemade alternates. Best of luck on the engine, keep us posted if you have the time & feel the need. There seems to be numerous theories about the bearing...

    Exhaust System Regeneration in Process

    Mine is programmed and ready, not convinced to sell it yet tho, it'll still proved the info I demand if the EDGE should die. The SCANGAGE programming isn't hard, they just don't allow much time to enter each parameter, I think it's 5 lines of binary to enter, I downloaded the info from the site...

    DEF Fluid when to add

    John is correct on life span, everything I've found says it depends on temperature, and at temps around 100 it's supposedly about 3 months IIRC. I bought a refractometer on AMAZON for the DEF for about 26 bucks before I tuned the need for DEF out.
