    DuraFlap mud flaps

    What width? Liking these Duraflaps. Not sure if I should order the 12" width or the 14". I have 2017 Longhorn 3500 4x4 SRW Megacab (with factory fender flares). Tires: Nitto Terra Grappler G2's in size 295/70R18. Appreciate it!

    Aisin hard-shift

    Anyone know how fast the truck can be driven when transmission is in limp mode? Is it normal driving (except for the very rough shifting) up until a certain number of miles have been reached before the truck will be limited to only a very slow speed (like 5 MPH)? Our dealer is about 40...

    Aisin hard-shift

    3rd Trans Limp Mode -- 2 trips to dealer haven't fixed this I'm beginning to have some big concerns about my 2-month old 2017 3500 Cummins/Aisin. I've been to the dealer TWICE and still having this recurring problem. When it occurs, it usually results from backing out of driveway and...

    Bad terminal Got truck back from dealer yesterday. Problem turned out to be a bad terminal in I-255 inline connector... looked like it had been crushed during installation (see attached photos). TransEngineer on another forum pointed me in this direction and I relayed that info to dealer...

    Aisin hard-shift

    Thanks for that reply! Unfortunately, the problem is not "full time" so whether dealer can replicate it or not is uncertain. Dropped truck off today and I was assured by svc advisor that their most experienced heavy-line diesel mechanic will work on it Tuesday (with Chrysler also in the loop)...

    Aisin hard-shift

    Daggum, after three weeks from having transmission range sensor replaced by dealer and trouble free driving I had the same problem recur a few days ago. Backing out of driveway and shifting from R to D resulted in a very hard shift, limp mode (yellow lights for P, R, N, D) and CEL. Shutting...

    Aisin hard-shift

    Got truck back yesterday from dealer and all seems to be fixed. The cause was a failed transmission range sensor which they replaced. Appreciate all the feedback. -Dave

    Aisin hard-shift

    Well the TCM "Limp Mode" issue occurred again today while driving slowly in a parking lot. All "letters" (P-R-N-D) went to yellow and shifting into P (park) was very rough. Shutting down and restarting cleared it (but of course had the CEL). Then it happened again in my parking space but this...

    Dealer Service Department

    Good afternoon - New to the Ram community and looking for a dependable dealer for service (we bought our truck in another state). QUESTION: Who out there loves their dealer service department? I'm coming from a '99 Ford Power Stroke so have not had to deal with warranty and dealer...

    Well CEL is no longer on so I guess the code will remain a mystery. Bummer...

    Aisin hard-shift

    For those with Aisin who have experienced this hard-shift before (when shifting from N>D before coming to a complete stop with brake pedal fully depressed)... Did it cause your check-engine-light (CEL) to come on? If so, what code did you pull? I'm heading to dealer today to scan the CEL...
