I called 2/3 dealers for pricing and was suprised at cost differences. One sold a bundle while another sold individually priced items. Deff no consistency in pricing. But a lot of guys run aftermarket controllers and rant and rave over it. Anything is bettter than nothing!!!
He’s having issues with them not coming on and starting rough, not nessasarily an indicator issue. seems like it’s a glitch in the tune or the module is on the fritz
I never had a problem with the glow plugs firing but I do have the hiccup issue occasionally. Mostly if I don’t give it more than a 5 minute warmup it’ll do it when I’m boosting up the driveway hill or shortly after pulling out of the driveway under boost. Not sure if it’s an overboost situation...
Did you have it plugged in? I’m unaware as mine is a 2014 and I have refused to visit the dealer as it typically leaves worse than when I brought it in. They may be able to do an ecm/pcm reflash if there’s an issue. Yours has a security gateway module so you can check codes but not clear them...
Sometimes mine acts silly in the colder weather. Typically once I get engine temp to 60 or so it all goes back to normal. These trucks are known to glitch sometimes.
I bought OEM module and switch for around 200$ through a dealer, used Alfa obd to enable the trailer brake settings and screens in my 14 Laramie and works flawlessly. I thought about aftermarket but tracking trailer mileages and keeping the brake settings per trailer was worth it to me.
FWIW: if you keep getting the preheat wait to start due to a glow plug issue, if you unplug the glow plug module, it’ll do away with the flashing on the evic so you can at least drive without having ADHD. you still have check engine light and no glow plugs, but it stops that annoying flash.
Good afternoon all,
I know I’m beating a dead horse but I’m iso a tuner that can write out the glowplugs and startup procedure with them. My current tuner appears to have gone out of business so they are no longer an option. Anyone aware of this being done before?
First I’ve heard of that issue, sounds like when they designed the suspension they didn’t do a good job. When I added my leveling kit to my 2014 ram, I had to add a drop mount for my bump stops, but I don’t think I’ve ever come close to bottoming out on them.
