4Th Gen impressions

[Bug Out]

Mine has "vibrations/rumbling" similar to "road ripples" at 65+ to 75 MPH on occasion. Its almost like a shimmy, but not quite. . I was peeking under the hood and saw a line with foil around it laying on top of the turbo. I'm calling the dealer today. Also the clutch fan wire is REAL close to the backside of the fan, 1/4"... ...

On Negative side ,It's missing the Overload Springs ,Rear Alum cover,

I was under the impression that the 3500 SRW does not get the cover or overloads?

That may be the case, but Ram Did NOT state the option was NOT included in the Package. . Also the Factory 3500 Spring 03-12 and 2500 2013 5. 73MM x4, the 2013 3500 7. 83mm x 4. 2013 spring is arch More. Ram states DRW 3500 Its a money Game unless complaints are filed they will just keep doing it, 3500 is 3500 the Only difference should be Wheels, Rims, spacers, Bed, the suspension should be completely the same.

Todd, what's the layout on the new cooling system? I didn't see any details in your photos, other than what looks like a radiator hose next to the CP3 pump.

 

[TCDiesel]

Its ALL New. . I will get some photo's the CAC,IC, is under the radiator forward, the Auxiliary trans cooler is looks to be Plate and fin 2'x20"x3/4". The AC condenser is behind the trans cooler then radiator I'm still looking for the rest of the cooling system.

 

[Bob4x4]

That hose to the aux radiator will be a weak link. The y is plastic. It does not work in the Dakota it won't last in the Ram

 

[TCDiesel]

That's the 1st spare Part I will carry.

 

[Bob4x4]

If I had one I would fab one up from ss tubing

 

[CUMMINZ]

Has anyone seen anything in writing about the front axle disconnect?

 

[TCDiesel]

It does have it... . If you check the other Post #97 Pic # 5 you will see the device pictured... . YeY. Only 2013 3500s.

Thanks, is there a switch on the dash that activates it? Is it a standard option?

 

[TCDiesel]

When You switch to 4x4 it engages, But thats a good Idea, be easy to do, just find the power wire/ground (1) and route to in cab switch.

 

[Bob4x4]

I haven't looked at the wiring yet but my guess it will be more complex then the 2nd gen

Your probably right , just wishful thinking.

 

[Cissco]

relay. relay. relay.

 

[TCDiesel]

I hope they come up with a fix soon for This, its happen to Me twice, You can re-position the nozzle but it will start to build pressure and spray.

 

[mwilson]

Wow... ..... that won't make a fella' popular at the fuel island.....

TC does it appear that a std. aux tank with gravity feed to the main tank will still work pretty easily.

 

[TCDiesel]

Who ever thought that a cap less filler like this is going work needs to get into the real world, I always fill off Auxiliary Tanks (Fillrite Pump) But I have been filling $10/20 at a time to test the cap 50/50 2 times its work, 2 times spray & 1 pump kept shutting down . The gate spring is strong... ... . so you need to force the nozzle into the neck, that's 1 problem the other is some pumps have higher flow no matter how well you stick the nozzle into the neck it just shuts down, even at the slower setting. O I can see it now crap in your fuel system warranty denied. I will measure the size and order a cap from Stock cap on My next order from them, until Ram comes up with a fix, a couple of hundred of complaints at the NHTSA should do it.



What interesting at some pumps it won't shut down when spraying, How many wimps are going to hit the master shutdown at the islands? That's going too really please a few station owners!!!!!!!!!!
