    UConnect cell modem always on & transmitting location data & more

    Shortly after I bought my new 18 Ram CTD I started receiving emails from FCA with status info about my truck. Info like what my tire pressures were set to, when my next service would be due, the current mileage on the odo, etc... Didn't think much of it at first, but then I noticed that AAA did...

    Received a letter from CARB

    This letter came in the mail a couple days ago, please see attached copy. They are asking me to submit my truck for emissions testing. I'm not interested in doing this, what you you think?

    easy way to re-fill rear axle after draining

    Changed the gear oil on my 2018 yesterday and came up with this simple no mess way of re-filling. Drilled two holes on the cap of gallon jug of GL5, one hole for a 3/8" rubber hose and another to apply pressurized air. Used a regulator to set air pressure as low as it would go, about 4psi...

    2014+ 2WD 2500 front suspension

    Been working on fine tuning my truck's suspension for towing a 10k-lbs 5th wheel trailer. I have the rear working very well after adding Timbrens (they sent me a 2nd set of rubbers that did the trick). Thinking of how to address the issues on the front now, occasional bottoming and bouncing...

    question about GVWR and GAWR

    Hello, Looking at the 2018 2500 towing guide numbers I see following numbers for my 2018 CC 2WD 68RFE: - GVWR is 10,000 lbs - F-GAWR is 5,500 - R-GAWR is 6,500 Adding up those numbers it looks like it is possible to be well over the 10k-lbs GVWR, but still well under the max GAWR of 12k-lbs...

    re programming ECM after a axle gear ratio change

    I'm just curious and trying to learn something. I've searched and found lots of posts about the pros and cons of one gear ratio vs. another, not looking for opinions on what ratio is best for whatever application. What I am looking for (and could not find) is info about the engine and/or...

    2018 Ram, oil drain plug damage found on 1st oil change

    Changed the oil on my 2018 Ram 2500 CTD, first oil change on the truck that now has 5k miles since I bought is brand new last Aug. As I unscrewed the drain plug, it was not turning very easily (yes I turned it CCW). I slowly unscrewed it back and forth until it finally came out, looking at the...

    how to display radio unlock code before disconnecting batteries

    I plan on doing some work on the electrical and will be disconnecting the batteries. In the past, after re-connecting batteries the radio was locked and required entering a 4-digit anti theft unlock code or password. I realize I can go to the dealer to get it unlocked, but would like to...

    Is Stratapore oil filter a waste for short interval oil changes?

    I realize the recommended oil change interval is now up to 15k miles on the new 6.7 engine using the CK-4 rated oils. But our new 2018 Ram CTD 2500 will be used for towing a 11k-lbs 5th wheel about 95% of the time and I want to keep the oil change intervals to no more than 7500 miles. Are there...
