    "Service Parking Sensors"

    I recently changed out my bumpers (my rear one had a hole of rust in the corner after only 7 years in Texas!) and decided to tackle the job of transferring over my parking assist sensors today. After reaming out the holes in the new bumper with a step bit, I ended up having to lengthen the...

    Ecodiesel engine change

    I too, took John's experience into consideration before buying my tune. My experience was quite a bit different, but then again, I believe the timing played a factor in my tune as well. I purchased my SFT tune about two or so weeks ago - this was after my truck had all of its recall work done...

    Changing Speed thresholds for Air Ride

    I'm considering laying out the dough for one of those Autel scanners, but I'm not sure if it's going to do what I want ... maybe I'll just need to go the AlfaOBD route. Question I have is, have any of you found a way to modify the speed thresholds for the Off-road 1 and 2 settings? While I...

    Fuel tank will not prime. Turn key on nothing?

    I had something similar happen a little over a year ago. I literally told them "I have no power to the pump, I can't hear it" - they tried to sell me $15,000 dollars in an entire new fuel system. My warranty wouldn't cover it either because they claimed "contamination" - I allowed them to change...

    Ecodiesel engine change

    Banks makes an aftermarket modified "off-road or racing" only version called the 630T - as near as I can tell, it addresses a lot of the problems that plague our Pasta-diesels. Technically a Cummins 6BT will fit, since it's essentially the same chassis, but you're going to need a lot of...

    Engine let go

    2017 3.0 will crank but not start. Has no codes.

    Maverick81181 has the exact same thread a few messages down. Check what I wrote in there and start there.

    High pressure fuel pump

    My truck went in 1 year ago for what I specifically told them "I have no power to the pump." They replaced both pumps , the filter housing/heater, and the TIPM ... none of those were the problem - a bit of wire between the TIPM to the fuel pump was my problem, but I paid the $5,800 anyway...

    Crank, no start and no codes

    Gee... that sounds eerily similar to what happened to me last year. So.. how much did they take you for? It was $5,800 for me. They gave me the same song and dance about metal and contamination and whatever else they could make up. Turns out my problem was EXACTLY what I told them the day I...

    P05ED Code - DEF Heater Line?

    Apologies if this seems like a thread necro - but this code popped up for me last night out of the blue. I scanned it, it came up, I scratched my head and cleared it. It didn't come up at all today for both trips I made, but I suspect I'm still in closed-loop mode right now. Here's the strange...

    Switchback LED 3157's

    Ok, tried those Lasfit ones that worked fine in my retro T-bird... they don't work on the Ram. The white parking light will work, but instantly throw a code when the turn signal is switched on. Then the amber will blip once or twice then stop working. Pretty strange - I guess our rigs are really...

    Replacing light socket = errors??

    Turns out whoever owned my rig before me wired a replacement 3157 socket completely wrong - the stationary/park wire was on the ground wire, the signal wire was on the stationary/park wire, and the ground was turn signal wire. Small miracle it even worked with an incandescent bulb, but the LED...

    Switchback LED 3157's

    I may have answered my own question ... I believe I used these for the car... will report back once they arrive for the truck. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMST7T5

    Switchback LED 3157's

    I run a set of 3157 Switchback LED's on my 2003 Thunderbird - it seems to work just fine, no errors. I purchased a set for the 16 Ram, and they work, however the front ones will switch off the "White" running light to use the "Amber" turn-signal, which will trip a "Parking Light Out" error on...

    What's your oil pressure numbers? What's what you'd consider normal?

    Edit : Well... today was a little on the chilly side for around here - turns out cold idle pressure is actually 35psi and accelerating will build up to 70. Warm will eventually settle down to 19 at idle and up to 50 on acceleration though. I'd hazard a guess and say my oiling system and pump are...

    What's your oil pressure numbers? What's what you'd consider normal?

    Just thought we'd all collate the numbers and see what that rolling average is. Odo is currently at 107k and change for some background. Running Rotella T6 5W40 with a Wix Filter. Cold start - idle 700rpm, oil pressure about 29psi Warm idle - about 19psi Acceleration after warm, climbs to...

    11 Months of downtime for...

    True .. what feels like almost a lifetime ago, I worked for Chevrolet and even then, some jobs would take me several days to just diagnose, then repair. Since it was book time, the service writers didn't care as long as the customers weren't pissed at the wait since what I made on the job was...

    Replacing light socket = errors??

    So on my 16 Lone Star, it originally came with standard tail lights with the older style filament bulbs. I really didn't shake down the truck very long before it went down for almost a year - so I can't really say if I had this error before, but I did replace the bulbs with Sylvania Xevo LED...

    11 Months of downtime for...

    Hi everyone... remember me? I was the guy that bought my 16 Ram last year - 10 weeks and 600 miles later, I had a paperweight. The warranty people wouldn't cover it, and the stealership tried to extort me out of $15 grand saying I needed an entire fuel system replaced. Sounding more familiar? If...

    EGR question - stupidly simple solution?

    Hrm... okay, so something like this would still involve a tune to do something about the EGT sensor. What about re-routing the pipe to a catch-can? (I know, this sort-of does away with that whole "keep it looking untouched" idea).
