Thank you for confirming that.

I searched here but didn't find anything, maybe not using the right keywords... I'm changing the front axle U-joints on my '20 2500 and need the torque spec for the axle nut. I found the SKF spec book and it shows 107 ftlb plus 45 degrees. Is this correct?

It has been a little over six months, so I figured a long term update was in order. The issue with the frequent regens did indeed come back just as AH64ID predicted it would. All was great for a couple thousand miles then like clockwork it started to regen every 100-150 miles again. Coming into...

Before you consider something major like a tipm replacement, and if you don’t find anything in the trailer connector, check over the wiring harnesses that carry the wheel speed sensor wires. My ‘13 gas truck had a speed sensor wire rub out on the right front frame. The abs, service 4wd, and...

Thanks for the input. I was just wondering about the likelihood of damage because the last cover I looked at from Mopar had a pretty specific set of instructions: Only install cover on clean dry surface (obviously) If cover gets wet, remove and allow to dry then reinstall ??? (so every rain or...

Does anyone have experience with the mopar factory winter front grill covers? I am concerned about road grit and salt getting between the cover and the chrome causing scratches, and am considering having ppf film put on the chrome to protect it from scuffing and scratching but I’m not sure if...

I find that it is really straightforward and intuitive as long as you read everything and follow the instructions. Other than being able to help test the emissions system problems, I was also finally able to update the tire pressure thresholds to make that damn tpms light go out. It has been...

Can't say for certain with the '23 but on my '20 the cargo light always came on no matter where the trans was. I added aftermarket mirrors that have the rear facing led's and was trying to figure out how to get them to come on in reverse Using the Alfa obd tool navigate to the body control...

I might be reaching, it does look stock but look close at the picture.....I think the back of the dpf might have been cut and re-welded (possibly hollowed out). I drew a blue and green line on what looks like 2 separate weld beads, also look at the quality and consistency of the weld compared to...

Thanks for the clarification, ultimately because I don't use the truck that hard (90% of my driving is to work and back) I can expect this to happen again probably around 65-70k. At that point I will decide if the truck gets deleted or traded in. I don't know where you are located but in my...

Ahh so in simpler terms, rich + light load = low egt’s and more soot and more regens rich + heavy load = higher egt’s and more soot burned so fewer regens

You are 100% correct, and by my understanding rich does run cooler at the engine which helps reduce the nox emissions, but rich means a hotter doc / dpf because the extra fuel reacts in the doc so more fuel=more heat. So in theory that combination means that under light load conditions the motor...

I believe all is well, the tech told me this is a very common problem not just with the ram trucks, but also with the 6.7 in school buses. Any extra idle time or light load makes them soot up and clog the dpf. He says Cummins sets all these up to run on the rich side with the intent of building...

**UPDATE** After becoming completely dissatisfied with the service by any of my local dealers I made the decision to take the truck to an independent heavy truck shop. I sat with the service manager and the lead tech and went over every bit of the data that I have been gathering. Both agreed...

If you remember my other thread “truck making oil”….that’s why the short intervals. I have a big update for that thread coming soon.
