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.

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...

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

Badunit: How did you disconnect the power for the tailgate lock? Thx

Ok...thanks to all for your input.

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...

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

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...

Ya. I have heard others say the same thing as you. Thx for the input.

Thanks for the advice.

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...

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...

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...

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

Thx. Appreciate it.

Same here! I intend to just watch the issue on my truck. I figure as long as I monitor the situation, it will never get dangerous to the point of total failure of the linkage. I just hate going to the dealership and wait hours for an easy fix such as this one.

Don't know if any of you have had this problem but the other day, my engine hour gauge (Idle hours vs Drive Hours) all of a sudden went back to ZERO for both categories! I have 30K miles on the truck and don't care overall that this happened given that I cannot help the "way" the truck's engine...

I hear you brother! Lucky for me the manual was offered on my 2017 3500 truck when I bought it...to tell the whole truth though, I had a choice of two 3500's on the lot....basically the exact same truck even up to the color. But the manual was close to $3,000.00 cheaper so I went with it...

I noticed that my oil was dirty one day after a change. Scared me a little. Then I began reading these forums. No doubt the pollution control system is at fault here.

True. I can see why they may be dangerous.
