    2019 HVAC wonky after battery replacement

    UPDATE: As I expected with advice from Oz and AH64ID, their guidance was excellent, and all back to normal. Thank you, Gents! Jim

    2019 HVAC wonky after battery replacement

    Thanks, AH64ID! I guess I never had occasion to look for the RUN position...

    2019 HVAC wonky after battery replacement

    Will give it a shot in the morning... Assume you mean to cycle the start button without depressing the brake (which is accessory on)?

    2019 HVAC wonky after battery replacement

    After replacing my batteries today, I have the usual infotainment resets to do, as well as a nonfunctional backup/surround camera system which I am hoping will return based on posts I turned up in search. But I also have a really weird issue with the HVAC controls - the temp controls won't do...

    2019 2500 Anti-Spin diff type?

    Amsoil doesn't claim that their Severe Gear includes a limited slip friction modifier - just that it doesn't need one. Then they go on to say that all trucks are different and sometimes clutch packs chatter... Since the owner's manual says add a LS additive, I'll add the Amsoil stuff along...

    2019 2500 Anti-Spin diff type?

    Thank you, sir! off to the Amsoil site... Edit: Oh, yes, John, i wouldn't have dreamed of buying a truck without at least a limited slip/anti-spin rear. I was just bummed that Ram hadn't gotten around to offering an E-locker on Cummins 2500s. I don't rock crawl but I do sometimes get onto...

    2019 2500 Anti-Spin diff type?

    Hi Guys - Did the 2019 2500s with 68RFE go back to a clutch-style limited slip if you ordered the anti-spin? I'm finally about to change out the factory gear oil to Amsoil Severe Gear at 16,000 and am not certain whether I absolutely need limited slip additive - I have heard that it was not...

    Just installed the Titan 52 gal fuel tank today

    Congratulations! I'm pretty intrigued - If you have a chance to take a pic or two, I'm curious about how low the 52 gallon tank hangs... Does Titan offer options on strap material on that tank?

    2019 Laramie 20x8 factory polished aluminum - Want to swap for your factory 18x8 aluminums?

    I tend to agree, SnoKing - like the way they carry the start of the center dome up as part of the wheel proper, and the nice radiused contours - I can live with a couple of the recent polished designs on the 18x8s though. Mostly I had not intended to get a truck with the 20s in the first...

    2019 Laramie 20x8 factory polished aluminum - Want to swap for your factory 18x8 aluminums?

    Would prefer similar vintage polished factory Laramie 18x8s but let's see what's out there - I am going to wind up going places where I'll want taller tire sidewalls and would hate to dent those pretty 20s. If you like the big rims but didn't drop the 1500 bucks at purchase, maybe this is an...

    Opinion/Experience with Smart Brake Function of Exhaust Brake

    p-Bar, nothing yet - eventually will probably wind up with an Edge CTS3. Been a lean year - we pulled the trigger on the new tow beast just prior to Covid ruining everyone's year. Haven't taken a quarter of the trips we had originally planned for this year, but we are happy to not have anything...

    Opinion/Experience with Smart Brake Function of Exhaust Brake

    I'm towing very light (7K travel trailer) compared to most of you guys, but coming out of a 1500 with the Ecodiesel it feels like I've died and gone to heaven just having an EB! Previous diesel towing was an old reliable 7.3 IDI F-250 with a Banks turbo kit; great truck but always wanted an...

    Running Boards, (wheel-to-wheel)

    I am extremely happy with my White Knuckle Off Road rock sliders with the optional diamond plate and wide inner box. They provide enough of a step up for my wife in a stock height 4x4 2500, provide serious protection for the rocker panel area in case I get stupid on some rocky trail, and are...

    First Cummins at last!

    Haven't posted in a while since the truck hasn't been working much with the whole Covid-19 thing happening and us hunkered down at home. My work is shut down so we have to watch the budget, and our big May/June trip plans have gone up in, maybe not smoke, but at least uncertainty for a while...
