    Chirping sound while driving my Truck

    John: I read online that it could be the rear differential....I have taken great care of the differentials as I always get the differential oil changed at each regular engine oil change.

    Chirping sound while driving my Truck

    Hey guys! I have been hearing a distinct "chirping" noise coming from....I don't know where...but here are the facts: a) only chirps when the truck is in motion (at stops and idle, no sound) b) as I accelerate, the chirp gets quicker and quicker...as I slow down, so does the chirping c) when I...

    tailgate recall question

    Ok thanks!! So unplugging it will only affect the power to the tailgate LOCK and not the back-up camera?

    DEF Filter

    I have a 2017 Ram 3500....I heard that one should change the DEF filter at some point as unwanted particles could get into your exhaust system if it is not changed....no where in my Ram owner's manual does it state when to change this filter. So, does anyone know : a) do the newer ram trucks...

    I am voting my V06 repair the worst, what do you think?

    That looks professional...unlike those half-ass jobs the other fellows had to endure.

    Regeneration

    I have 32,000 miles on my Ram 3500. I read about the Regeneration process on this Forum and on YouTube all the time. But I have yet to see any message on my dashboard indicating that a regeneration is in progress....I have on occasion noticed a certain scent coming from the truck after I have...

    30,000 and Done

    Had my 30,000 mile regular maintenance performed on my Ram 3500 the other day (fuel filters, oil filter tire rotation, etc). The place that I go to have these services done informed me that 4 out of my 6 tires would not pass inspection within a couple more months of use. They are so bad that...

    Engine Hour Gauge Malfunction

    I like the Exhaust Brake (use it all the time)...the combination of me gearing down + e-brake saves the brake pads in my opinion. I had many people tell me that gearing down in a manual can harm the transmission...maybe so BUT I have had many manual jeeps, pickups, etc. and have nothing but success...

    Engine Hour Gauge Malfunction

    I only had to sniff that terrible stench of clutch burn twice: once when I was getting used to the truck (after I just purchased it) and was backing up a huge grade and did not realize until it was too late that I was riding that clutch too much....other time from a dealership after it was...

    Engine Hour Gauge Malfunction

    A little off topic but I noticed (like me) you have a manual transmission. Have you had to replace the clutch yet?
