    ZF Powerline for 2025 RAM HD Diesel

    They were lower than one local dealer, but not where I ended up ordering from. A couple grand more and I would have had to travel, which doesn’t bother me but not for two days and thousands out of pocket.

    Scanners

    True, but cheap and generic is just that. Some cheap generic scanners aren’t able to clear all the codes. Most people have a smart phone, which makes an app based scanner pretty handy.

    Service before Major trip

    I had to have the alternator rebuilt on my 05 at relatively low miles due to weak batteries trashing the brushes, part of the problem with a 136A alternator. Alternator issues are rare with the newer, larger, OEM alternators.

    Scanners

    AlfaOBD or JScan with a VLinker MC+. Much more than a simple generic scan tool.

    RAM HD Federal Emissions Warranties Info

    I was rather disappointed with the emissions warranty on my ‘22 and with the DPF not being covered by the Max Care Mopar warranty. The DPF on my ‘25 MB Sprinter is covered for 5/100.

    Air filters

    You forgot to put fix in quotations. Many of the frequent regen trucks aren’t fixed by a new DPF, they just take a little longer to show the symptoms again. While there were definitely some faulty DPFs in 2022, fixed by the TSB, the TSB is not an all encompassing fix for many of the frequent...

    Lift Pump Fuel Pressure Monitoring/Monitor

    There are some low psi kits out there and it’s easy enough to make your own, but they aren’t really that useful on a HPCR. The CP3 is rated for -5 psi to + 15 psi inlet pressure. The OEM pump moves 90 GPH+ at 0 psi, so plenty of flow for the CP3. It’s not uncommon to pull the OEM lift pump down...

    Air filters

    I agree for the most part. Sometimes there are better options, like fuel filters for the 5.9, or oil filters for all years prior to 25. OEM isn't always the best option, but sometimes it is. There were also some supply chain issues with OEM filters for awhile.

    Air filters

    I would think the mechanical background would make it easier to understand why it’s possible, at least that’s how I feel about it (much like the 5w-40 vs 15w-40). There definitely some claims, like this thread about a filter failing MAP sensors, that are BS or difficult to follow. Excessive...

    Lift Pump Fuel Pressure Monitoring/Monitor

    I had a ISSPRO EV2 0-15 psi gauge to monitor my LP pressure.

    Air filters

    Yes, common issue on the 22+ trucks but the issue it creates is with regen frequency. I have not heard of the wrong filter causing the MAF to fail. Mopar 53034051AB or Fleetguard AF27684 are the approved filters for 19-24 6.7’s. Mopar 68517554AA works on pre-19 6.7’s, but causes issues on...

    ZF Powerline for 2025 RAM HD Diesel

    Not that impressive at all. Mirrors that haven’t been used since 2022 (or a hybrid of the old/new based on front or rear view), 550 on the tailgate, 7.0 Hemi with 830 lb/ft, old HO power numbers, 1500 rear exhaust, and a 10 speed the year after the 8 speed was released, etc. It was pretty bad...

    ZF Powerline for 2025 RAM HD Diesel

    I bought used from them in 2007 and it was a breeze. I looked at working with them in 2019 and 2022 and it was a cluster, and going to be far more expensive than my local dealer. They are t the company they used to be.

    Mystery battery drain 2018 Ram 3500 pickup/Cummins 6.7/Aisin

    I believe Aux 1 and Aux 2 are factory programmed to B+. Jumper isn’t the correct term for programming, it is listed in the upfitter sheets, but deals with physical jumpers to the wiring harness.

    Engine/Transmission (1998.5 - 2002) Are bypass oil filters really worth having?

    Wix will list beta ratios on many of their filters, but their plain English rating are often the low beta ratio numbers.
