Update: CEL light came on after sensors replaced. Tech found engine/trans harness was corroded and PCM had bad pins. Dealer replaced engine harness, transmission harness and new programmed PCM.

Well as the saying go have to let go of my project. I bought this silver 1 owner (fleet) 2012 Ram 2500 SLT CC LB 4X4 WITH 200K miles from OK with the intentions of swapping in newer seats, carpeting and using this as my DD but as they say life and priorities change… It came bone stock with all...

Something happened in the industry and they went from a lot of trailers waiting to go to very few trailers. What I like about the trailers waiting they would up the pay as an incentive to get them moved because chances were there was a buyer waiting on it at the receiving dealer.

Yes they do document the towing capacity of your truck but through their figures and calculations they would load me with any of their trailers on the yard so that included the triple axle tow haulers. They didn’t have any “weight police” guys there actually they thought I was conservative...

I drove for Horizon a few seasons ago. I wanted a part time job driving diesel truck and I thought I loved towing trailers. Breezed through the training and instead of buying I leased a new F350 CC DRW through their program with Enterprise. Problem #1 they delivered a F250 CC SRW. I outfitted it...

After the new TIPM it ran well but had a light on for seat belt and airbag. I was told to bring it back the next day for reprogram but it cut out later on that day. Took it back in and they reprogrammed the TIPM and it has been running fine so since. I hope I got rid of all the electrical...

I hope it is not the starter just had mines go out in my 2011 2500 and almost fainted when I heard the OE price. I had no click and had to resort to hitting the starter with a hammer to get it started.

I did consider it until I had to hammer the starter to get it to start. Maybe all the turning to attempt to start helped it fail. It was taking 20+ key turns before it would crank. Well everything I replace hopefully will insure it’s reliability. After 200k miles I’d expect some components will...

Traded it in I just got it lol I bought it expecting it would need some repairs and I wasn’t disappointed

Yes it is cruel the truck isn't ready. Tech also said he had to use the hammer (the starter) to start the truck. Was told that after new starter installed he started it 4 times then there was smoke (or dust truck is covered with it) coming from the dash near the switch. Then the ignition switch...

Yeah the labor is only a hour at the shop. I don't doubt it isn't anything fancy (gold plated lol) but the reality is that they are 1400 from Dodge and I was looking for a quality, cheaper alternative. I didn't find any quality reman (Bosch or AC/Delco) nor any new replacements besides the...

I believe the tech might have thought the same thing that the starter wasn't going out that it might just be me but I did count the number of key turns it took before the starter would engage and it varied from 2 to 26 definitely something was wrong. I kept driving it until it didn't start and...

Thanks I just did a search for my truck and found they offer one for my year at $294. Looks like that would have been a good alternative.

Sorry maybe didn’t give enough info. Batteries were tested previous stay at dealership. This is only my second starter to go out since I’ve been driving. The last one (Excursion) no clicking so I crawled underneath and tapped it a few times with a heavy wrench and it started right up. When it...

Trying to get the truck ready for the winter I noticed I was getting the tell tale turn the key several times to start my 2011 Ram 2500 so dropped it off at my local Dodge. I got a call later and the service writer asked me to sit down and that starter was 1400 retail!!! I got an account there...

Thanks that looks like the route I will take.

What do you suggest then for the bigger compressor?

Since my post I have decided to get new or upgraded reman with 63mm compressor. What do you think of 63mm compressor? Is it worthwhile for a stock truck for now that I do plan on deleting and tuning but just not right now.

The actuator harness/wiring is broken on this so no turbo operation. Dealer said the part is no longer available stand alone you have to order it with new turbo assembly $$$. Most used ones come without actuator. Any place do quality actuator rebuilds? This truck has 201k on original...

That was what I was wondering but I wanted to throw it out there to see what people with more knowledge think. I am kinda new to the Cummins the last one only required front accessory repairs not any electronic diagnosis. Now for the newbie question where is the ECM/PCM harness? No contacting of...
