What the title says. Fuse 91ish is fine, fuse 104 is fine. Is there another fuse somewhere that controls that power outlet? The center console (top) 12v is working fine -- technically I think the top center console 12v is 104 and fuse 91-ish (jumpers differently if permanent on or ignition...

Great info, thanks all! I’ll have to weigh the pros/cons. Probably do an oil analysis and let that decide it for me.

Heads up if you haven’t discovered it yet, regardless of your wheel size your spare is on 18 inch rim and may also be a different size and style.. I had 20 inch wheels with AT tires stock and my spare was on 18 inch rim and an HT and was also a different size/diameter. Not a lot different but...

I searched and didn’t find new info on this. With the EGR dumping so much sooty air back in the engine I have the opinion that bypass filtration may be way more important than it used to be. Trying to decide if I should do it.

That's awesome! So glad to hear they actually took steps to fix yours for you. Hopefully more people can get that quality customer service for this otherwise awesome truck.

Initial impression of the Cooper AT3 XLT is positive. Quieter and smoother handling then the stock Firestone Transforce (should not be legal to sell) tires - should be renamed Firestone Trashforce. Fyi: I mixed things up a bit - not wanting to swap out my 20" limited wheels and also wanting to...

Watching my AT3 XLT being mounted now, we’ll see how it goes. This is an “overlanding” rig and it was a really tough call between these and an MT ... primarily due to a planned run up the notoriously muddy Dempster next year. But opting for the more comprehensive advantages for that 90% of the...

Yea bought the second vehicle so if the truck went back we’d have something to drive, added benefit of keeping the miles off the truck. We would have had a second vehicle eventually just wasn’t planning on it this year. I didn’t quietly fix it myself because I had an “I can’t take it anymore”...

That’s good to know - so why do all 11.5 from FCA whine? Some a lot some a little. I’m glad to hear they can/should be quiet since if I’m stuck with it I need to have it repaired with parts that aren’t sourced from FCA. Lemon law hearing one week from today.

As for the 'root cause' of the problem - I am very suspicious that there is insufficient lubrication at speed. Which could possibly be fixed with lubrication as pointed out here. Either different lube or better routing of the lube forward to the pinion at speed. I'm leaning towards both -...

Thanks for the replies. At this point the dealer(s) refuse to work on it. Went into lemon law proceedings, accepted a buy back offer they made 2 days before the hearing, FCA refused to honor their offer after they took all the cash from me they could and had tricked us into cancelling the...

First of all -- this is the THIRD Ram 3500 I've owned with an AAM 11.5. (tenth Cummins Ram overall) This particular vehicle has a very annoying differential gear whine. When we first asked for it to be looked at they replaced the ring and pinion, then the seals, then reset the preloads. Now...

Does it when it's nearly empty or full; no difference. Inside of the fill area is bone dry; no spillage. It's spurting out of that breather looking thing I'm trying to sort out why it's getting progressively worse. UPDATE: Observed there is a ball valve about 3.5" deep into the neck - if you...

What is this... and why is it leaking? Started as a very minor drip several weeks ago but now quite a bit of fuel runs out.

ok that’s what I suspected, just making sure. Thanks!
