    Higher than normal engine temps

    Recently I had a water pump failure and lost a fair amount of coolant before I discovered the problem. Temps got to 225 on the way back from Carson City. I live about seventy miles away. So I did the water pump replacement and and replaced as much coolant as I could get to drain out being...

    TPMS Receiver location

    I have a 2008 Ram Quadcab 4x4 and I'm looking for the receiver for the sensors in the wheels. Are there more than one? I had al the wheel sensors replaced but I still get a low pressure message. I searched the topic but couldn't find an answer relating to my model year. It doesn't seem to...

    P0471 exhaust pressure code.

    P0471 is popping up twice now in about three weeks. I recently had the EGR cooler flushed and EGR valve cleaned. The truck is performing normally with plenty of power. The code is easily cleared with my Edge monitor. Has anyone encountered this issue yet. My truck is an 08 with the 68RFE and...

    Intermittent key fob function

    I thought my Key Fobs were worn out, they're the OEM that came with the truck . Attempts to replace them met with mixed results. I ended up with keys that would start and run the truck but not unlock or lock the doors. My existing fobs may work great one day and not at all the next . I'm...

    Time to replace my RAQ in my 2008 2500

    I searched this topic and didn't find much except U-connect and satellite issues. The time has come to dump the RAQ and I'm leaning towards a Pioneer AVH 1440 NEX My question is will this unit be compatible with my existing speakers or should I just buy new ones now. It's not so much the price...

    PacBrake compression Brake.

    I was just over at the local independent diesel shop dropping a friend to pick up his 2014 Ford. Sad story there. While there I spied 2006 5.9 with the PacBrake system installed on the head. I was given to understand that it was only for the 6.7 PacBrake's site is not very forthcoming and their...

    Seat motor & gear repair

    Is there a consensus about repairing electric seat mechanisms? My drivers seat in my 08' quad cab will only move forward and rearward. The motors run for the other functions but there is no corresponding movement. Are the gears and clutches available or is it cheaper to buy replacement seats? My...

    Transmission shop in L.A. or O.C. Ca.

    I have acquired a second truck also an '08 but it has a serious trans problem. PO700 & PO871 codes When it fails it locks into 4th gear The T/C won't lock up and the engine brake stops working. Shut the truck down for a few minutes and the problem goes away for an hour, day or a week but it...

    U connect failure with RAQ radio

    Uconnect has suddenly stopped working. The mirror still has auto dimming but no response to the phone button or the voice command button. All the radio functions work including the Ipod adapter I installed when the truck was new. I am aware that the actual Uconnect is a stand alone module that...

    Information center removal

    I need to remove the overhead console in my 2008 Quad cab. I did several searches in the archives but all I could find were procedures for much older trucks. Nothing useful was found on You-Tube either. Does anyone here know the proper method for a 2008? Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

    Odd transmission behavior

    I have an '08 6.7 with a 68RFE with roughly 112k on the clock. Recently there have been a few instances where the transmission suddenly forgets how to shift up or down. If I pull over and stop and then shut off the engine, everything is right as rain once I restart. There have been no hi...

    Tech Authority

    I have a question regarding the Tech Authority CD's . Can you print the pages or are they blocked? I'm asking here because they haven't returned my email. How are they to deal with? How is the quality of their product? Thanks.

    Not quite overheating

    I have a 2008 2500 quad cab 4X4 and I am the original owner. Until recently the truck has always run a just above 190-195 Deg. In the last few months it has begun to creep upward towards the 200 Deg. mark. It is at the 105K point and I am about to do a service on the cooling system. Replace...

    Turbo life span?

    My Turbo on my 2008 6.7 was replaced at around 33k The truck now has roughly 106k and the turbo is acting up. Intermittent operation of engine braking and maybe a bit sluggish when it's acting up. Is this the average useable life of these turbos. I'm thinking of snagging a Re-man unit to keep...

    Strange noise upon heavy acceleration.

    I noticed an odd noise during heavy acceleration which I can only describe as a sort of "squark" sound. I have to cross three lanes of southbound traffic in a fairly narrow window in order to head north from my shop. I get on it pretty hard and as a rule I keep it toggled to fourth with the...

    Suspension concerns when adding a winch & bumper set-up

    What effect will adding about 225 pounds of winch and bumper have on the stock springs of my 08' 2500? Do I need to order new coils to go with the added weight? Any first hand knowledge would be helpful.

    Electric seat adjustment issues

    Is ther a supplier that can provide seat parts for my 2008 2500? My lumbar knob just spins and one of my angle motors does nothing but make motor noises. I suspect a clutch issue but it could be a plastic gear or something like that. A search of past threads didn't turn up much on OEM seating.

    Dash Cam

    Just bought a Blackvue for the truck. Anyone else have a dashcam mounted? Any interference issues? The phone app looks a bit daunting, Why in the world does ithe camera need to make phone calls?! I plan to install it this week end.

    EGR service delayed?

    I just ran across a weird one. An elderly friend has a 08' 3500 SRW which he uses to pull a large RV type trailer on a goose neck hitch. He is no longer able to perform his own service and won't go to a dealer even at gunpoint. I discovered while working on the truck that he had never had the...
