My last oil change of Rotella T6 15w40 only gave me 3157 miles... odd? No chunks, no oddities, no bizarre oil pressure numbers. Perhaps this is because of a poorer quality filter? I typically run K&N's but the filter I used on this interval came with the new filter-cap - maybe not as stringent...

So... we all know that forcing a diesel engine to eat it's own soot leads to premature engine bearing failure - just look around the forums for 'dead engine' threads. It's safe to say the EPA single-handedly ruined the reputations of countless engine producers, including our humble little...

It is my understanding that running your diesel at the standard idle speed is probably not a good idea long-term. I've built and tuned this thing so far with longevity in mind, but there's the occasional camping trip where I'd like to leave the engine running on a beach campsite or something...

I've had my rig now for about 26 months and 9,000 miles - I'm in the neighborhood of about 1155xx miles. Today was the first time since I've taken ownership that I received the "Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Exhaust Filter 80% Full" So, this happened half way on my way to work, which...

So... I ran across this guy in my feed this morning. I wonder if he's a poster here. 900,000 km's ... that's higher than my friend's 2018 with 447k miles (700000+ kms). :oops: He claims he did a full delete .... at 750,000km's. I wonder what his intake looks like inside.

Way back when I used to build Jeeps of all shapes and sizes, I typically ran Skyjacker or Rancho shocks with pretty good results. Today I feel like my Ram Bouncy-Castle is probably a little wiggly because the shocks are showing their age. I believe I found the right Rancho P/N for the rear ones...

So, I've put on a couple thousand miles now since I've got my fuel situation cleared up, tune installed, etc. I've always had this strange acceleration thing though - perhaps some of you experience it as well. In 2wd, sometimes, not all the time, there's a little "slack" for lack of a better...

What I thought I'd do is detail every little symptom just in case any of you have experienced or even "felt" this with your air ride. I replied in the "Right rear" thread, but I thought I'd build on it with a more specific set of issues. I'm working with a 2016 Lone Star, "air ride is nice ...

This may seem outrageous to the layman, but I've seen people with older rigs running 12-valves, and IDI's change their oil, and use what they drained as fuel. Seems crazy, but also, it seems to work for those. I know our fuel systems are really sensitive, and our fuel filters down down to as...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

So, most of us know that whoever came up with the idea of cramming soot back down the throat of our Ecodiesels should be tortured... slowly and painfully. Here's a thought though - the forums here and elsewhere all talk about EGR cooler deletes and tunes and the like, but what about taking the...

For those of us with 40-thousand dollar lawn ornaments like I do ... This morning I found this ... for the princely sum of 11 dollars. "Rammos Flexible Magnetic Tape 1 inch Wide x 10 Feet Magnet Strips Roll with Strong Back Sticky for DIY, Craft Projects, Motari Tone Rings, Whiteboards &...

I'm just curious - my dead after 10-weeks Lone Star is now 3 months disabled. The new mechanic I have working on it is fairly confident I have a tone ring failure (like many of you also thought). I've placed 8 orders for them, every time they're cancelled because their websites are out of date...

My truck went in back in December, some of you may have seen that thread. I took it in because I no longer heard the electric pump or what I thought was the electric pump in the back make what I thought was typical electric pump noises. I thought I had a fuel delivery issue. It'd crank like a...

I bought my `16 9 weeks ago. About two weeks ago, I take my dad out for his 87th birthday for his usual beer and chili. When we leave the pub, the truck would crank over and over and over and not stop until I keyed it to the "off" position (imagine a runaway starter). If I turned the key to ACC...
