    3500 DRW Alcoa wheels

    I looked up part numbers at Moparpartsonline and it shows same part number for 2011-2018. I’m guessing the EBay post is off by one year. Regardless they won’t fit my 2013. Mine have some scratches and one set of tire machine clamp teeth marks in the surface. I was considering replacing them...

    3500 DRW Alcoa wheels

    I am looking at some take off 3500 DRW rims on EBay and the seller says that they won’t fit the 2013-2017 Ram. Did they change something in 2018 with respect to the DRW aluminum rims? Is it just that the center caps are different?

    White Lightning gets a new fan clutch......

    That’s not too bad! 2.5 hours from drop off to out the door! That part is expensive! Glad they had one in stock!

    Ron, I’m not calling you out. I am saying your numbers don’t add up. 24,000-17,500 = 6,500 lbs. Either your trailer doesn’t weigh 24K or you axles don’t have 17,500 lbs on them, or your pin weight is 6,500, which, if true, indicates your rear axle is overloaded. I’m of the opinion that...

    AISIN leaking

    Don’t believe that your trailer tire positions are equally loaded. It’s simply not that way in the real world. You can see from the weights that my kitchen slide on the left side is heavy! The trailer has gotten a little heavier over time. The sheet attached was our individual wheel weights...

    AISIN leaking

    I have more experience with this issue than I wish I had. ALL Michelin 17.5” tires are rated at 100 KPH (62MPH). I ran the 215-75R17.5” rated at 4805 lbs. I had 2 failures about 1 year apart. On the second failure Michelin weighed each wheel position. On the drivers side front axle I was...

    Ron, don’t run a tire at max load or max speed on your DRV. The 6,000 lb Continental I referenced above is proven to be the tire for our trailers. The tires could cost you a lot more than trailer fender damage if you have a tire failure at speed.

    Well, you can't beat free that's for sure!!! But, if you join the DRV Owners Group FB page, we have a lot of 2 axle DRVs on Continental LR J HTL2s and so far, 0 failures. They are a robust tire that has stood up to everthing our group has thrown at it. They are not always easy to come by however.

    Just get it over with and buy Continental HTL2 in the 235/75R17.5 LR J and be done with it. Seriously! Stop damaging your trailer with the Good Year G114 crap tires and fix the root casue once and for all. You won't be sorry! https://www.continental-truck.com/truck/products/tires/goods/htl2-ep

    DEF nozzle, rusted nuts

    I took each sensor and the DEF injector off and used anti seize on them when my truck was new just for this reason!

    AISIN leaking

    So aft of the rear pan seal there is a gasket in the case? I guess a transmission to output shaft adapter that allows the rear of the transmission to be adapted to any output shaft arrangement. I just looked at my PTO cover and it appears to only be moist and coated in wet dust. Put a lot of...

    AISIN leaking

    I have seepage in the same area. it from a drip on the edge of PTO cover after a while. I'm keeping a close eye on it. I did verity the PTO cover bolts were tight. No real source evident on mine.

    Uconnect and Sprint 3G Network Decomission

    So if your talking the basic Uconnect service, yes, it unlocks, locks, remote starts, and sends you a email if your alarm is tripped. As long as it has a cell connection. The dongle just allows 4G on the older radios I believe that came with 3G service. I’ll update what I find out this weekend.

    Aisin fliud change at 30K on a 2017?

    I also recommend changing the rear axle (or both if you frequently use 4WD) at 20K miles if you tow anything! The rear ends don't hold much oil and there's a lot of heat generated there. I am using Valvoline 75W-90 Full synthetic gear lube as its much cheaper and meets the Chrysler spec for...

    Uconnect and Sprint 3G Network Decomission

    I just renewed my Uconnect and they sent me a dongle that plugs into my OBD port to give me a Wi Fi hot spot on 4G. I have the 8.4 radio. I haven't done it yet but its on tap for this weekend. I think this is replacing the 3G Sprint (that I never used) set up. Cheaper too. $9.99/month with...
