I'm having some intermittent problems with the wiper delay and activation on my 2004.5. Seems I have read about a fix for these before including maybe just cleaning contacts. Scanned the Genos catalog and did not see a replacement part. What is the difficulty in getting to this switch? Do...

I just learned that residents of CA and WA state will not be able to buy extended warranties from out of state as of Jan 1. So if you were looking to buy from Zeigler or Granger after that date you would need an address from another state. Just sucks living in this (CA) for political reasons...

I just replaced the bumper on my 04 and it came with a new black step cover as well. My question re: this material.... has anyone found a way to keep it new looking? I have tried Back to Black and I think three other products that profess to keep the plastic looking good but that did not...

I have narrowed down the search for a stock rebuilt transmission for my 2004.5 48RE but would like to know if anyone has had or heard of issues with that company. I don't have access to the better builds but Jasper has options for a billet torque converter and beefed up trans. Do not know what...

Doing a fluid change right now and I noticed a lot of black sludge on the bottom. When doing this before I only recall some stuff on/around the magnet. Fluid change was 30K ago and I began to notice it darken a bit thus the change. There is 155K on the trans and now I'm wondering if I need to...

So those following my blend door posts on my 2004.5 truck might be interested in the next job on my neighbors truck. It's a 2003 Laramie with the 5.7 Hemi. The heater/defroster and A/C has not worked for years and with experience under my belt I took hers on as I figured it was just another...

After completing the blend door epic job I noticed the blower switch which has four positions is not working on position three, the next to highest fan speed. Actually I noticed it before the rebuild but chocked it up to blend doors. Question is what might be the problem? Just the switch or...

I'm just completing a plenum rebuild and heater core replacement on my 2004. Drained all the coolant (4 gallons) to do this work and today after refilling just two gallons the radiator splashed over. Figured I needed to start the engine to warm the thermostat up enough to open and ran the...

Need to know the orientation of the heater hoses from the heater core to the engine. Asked this last night on the plenum ordeal but did not get an answer so I'm asking for someone to advise if the heater hose off the engine head goes to the top connection on the core. I forgot to label these...

I'm in the process of removing the dash on my 04 to replace the blend doors and have come across a problem removing the rubber from the lever that adjusts the steering wheel. A video says pull it off but I hav been tugging on it with no results and I don't want to ruin the part if there is a...

Have a neighbor with the well known heater issue. It's a 2003 Laramie truck and she has no heat coming in and cannot afford the $1500 fix to repair the "flappers". Since there the blower is working is there a manual work around just for the winter to get the heat flowing? Not sure where the...

A friend has had two 4x4 2500 trucks where the left rear sway link lower bolt has become unthreaded. It's a compression nut (18MM) you would think would not come loose. He was on a trip when the second one gave up and that caused the shank on the link to become galled to the point the link...

Bought a new (2023) Laramie and have a question about the headlights being on all the time at nightfall. Full disclosure, it's a 6.4 gasser but the electrical should be the same and I still have my diesel. I plan to use this truck in a night Xmas parade and do not want the headlights on but...

Many years ago I did the silencing of the seat belt chimes when driving off road without the belts engaged. Just purchased a 2023 RAM and cannot find the instructions I made to do this. Something about engaging the seat belt and turn the switch on and off three times within 30 seconds. But I...

I just purchased a 2023 2500 with the 6.4 gas engine and was told it has a break in oil that should be left for at least 4,000 miles. One reference was made that the Cummins engines might have an oil or additives to help seat the rings. Would our experts from FCA or specialty shops know if...

Today while driving I had the A/C on and suddenly there was a loud noise coming from the dash or engine. Shutting down the fan caused the noise to quit and after returning home I found that there was quite a bit of vibration when placing my hand on the bottom of the fan motor. Dropped the...

My nephew has a 2016 2500 with 50k miles. He was heading out on a camping trip and got maybe 170 miles from home before getting the contact your dealer message and the derate in 150 miles. He made it back partway to get within tow truck range without breaking the bank and had it towed to a...

While servicing my 2004 2500 I noticed a couple rubber boots attached near the ends of the sway bar are falling apart. The grommets are okay but would likely come in a parts kit as well. Not sure what the technical name is but seems like they might be stabilizers for the bar. My question is...

Just came back from a 1000 mile camping trip and noticed my 2004.5 2500 4x4, 150K, has a noticeable howl between 72 and 75 MPH. Goes away after that and it only howls on torque or when you are leveled out on cruise. Let off and it goes away. So a little more background, I have complained...

I was camping this weekend with a buddy who has a 2016 2500 6.7 and when he turns the engine off he sees a red number 8 and an arrow of some type in the center of his display. I never saw this on my 2014 and have not seen it on this forum. Is it possible it's a battery code? I had a voltmeter...
