    Red Lightning bolt

    I disconnected them this morning and got 12.43 and 12.44, I took it yesterday to a diesel shop and their scanner subscription had expired for Ram go figure, and Ram dealer is two weeks out. sag2, I have a obd2 code reader and shows none. Looks like voltage is a little low and will get batteries...

    Red Lightning bolt

    Batteries are 1 year old and I did not disconnect them. It's running fine with no codes so I'm going to try to tow with it.

    Red Lightning bolt

    I checked the two batteries voltage at 12.53 off and 13.71 running, thought it was supposed to be 14V running.

    Red Lightning bolt

    Thanks, I've watched many YouTubes and it seems to be any number of things. I still have warranty and will try the dealer but they are always a few weeks out.

    Red Lightning bolt

    2018 2500 Cummins, I went to pull out of a parking lot and the throttle went dead but engine did not and the red bolt flashed for about ten seconds and all went back to normal but scared the crap out of me. I'm supposed to leave on a rv trip Thursday but now I don't know if I should . Thanks...

    Blackstone Oil report questions

    My oil was about 2 qts high when I changed it, and the report doesn't seem to find the exact problem. I was wondering if any of you experts could shed some light on this report. Thanks for any advice.

    Front cover oil leak fixed the easy way

    Yes I freaked out when he said the cab would have to come off, but checked with several large volume service departments, and a couple said they remove the cab also. The work order says, removed the front cover, cam, timing housing, and replaced gasket. I guess the crank seal was ok since I...

    Front cover oil leak fixed the easy way

    Not real easy, but several dealers I spoke with always pull the cab to do this. I thought Ford's, and Chevy's were the only ones that did this. Anyway they did a great job, and even detailed truck for me.
