    2023 HO long crank time

    I just received my ordered 2023 3500 HO/Aisin last week to replace my 2018 HO/Aisin and it has a very obvious long crank time every time I start it, like 4-5 seconds. Is this the new normal with the 2023’s? We have a pair of 2019’s (still with the CP4), and they don’t do this long crank thing...

    Opening on IMac/MacBook issues

    On both my IMac and my MacBook Pro, every time I try to open TDR on either, it gets to the main page and just freezes up to the point I can’t do anything but force Safari to close down and start over. Even if I try to go to another website, it’s got my browser locked up. This has been going on...

    Signature change

    I for the life of me cannot find any other post that are new enough to tell me how to get into my signature info and change it. I'd like to update it, but can't. I'm on an iMac. Hour and a half of my life is gone on this one. Not as user friendly as the old site. As well I notice that by my...

    New truck

    I got my new truck on Monday. Have had a couple of evenings adding flaps and running boards. Much more work to do to transfer stuff over from the 2014. Black/cattle tan interior.

    Coolant odor after pump recall

    Since I had the water pump recall done I can almost always smell coolant when I get out of the truck after driving it. I was talking to another guy who just had his water pump done recently and the same thing. There is no signs of leaks on either trucks anywhere, I even had the dealer check it...

    New turbo

    So I hear a whistling sound during heavy exhaust braking on my last trip with the trailer but no change in performance at all and no codes. I dropped it off at the dealer today to check it out and they've ordered a new turbo assembly for it to put on tomorrow. Would have cost me $7,800.00 if I...

This is the Pac Brake compressor and control valves and pressure sending units for the gauges. this is inside the box, passenger side at the front with an aluminum backing plate on the other side of the wall to reinforce the sheet metal so...

    uploading pictures

    Why is it that when one responds to a regular thread you can click on the upload images button and it gives you the option to browse your computer for images to upload, BUT when you are responding to a private message all you get is an option to use "URL" and not browse for images????:mad: What...

    Coolant level

    On both the truck in the signature below and on my 2014 3500 welding truck with the same drive line as the on below, I had the low coolant warning light come on at start up with both trucks in the past month and needed to top up the coolant. Is this normal? Should one expect a little evaporation...

    Easy entry seat function

    Just thought I'd share this information that I found today to help the next guy that has this problem so that this is searchable. The easy entry seat feature stopped working for me last week even though it was turned on in the menu. Turns out that if you manually make the seat go all the way...

    AlSIN AS69RC shift position sensor

    Looking for one of the tech's out here who may know if this sensor is an external part to change on this transmission. I'm 600 Km's from the nearest dealer and on holidays and Chryslers road side assistance has authorized a local shop to check the codes and contact them back to see what can be done. I...

    Tow/haul turning off on its own?

    Three times yesterday when hitting those nasty bumps in the road that give you a good shock I looked down and notice that the tow haul had turned off on its own?!?! Anyone else noticed this before?

    Aisin bumping into neutral

    Found out today from the service manager at the local dealership that these new Aisin's do not like to be bumped into neutral while still rolling. He said he just came back from a training session and they firmly stated that you must NOT shift while the wheels are still turning. I have done this...

    Check engine light.... again!!! Part on backorder.

    Not impressed! Seems that every two weeks the truck is going in for an engine light on issue. This time it is the DEF module. They say I can drive it but if it goes into a regen mode, I'll be parked shortly after. Catch is that the part is on back order and they don't know when the part will be...

    Def tank heater

    Has anyone considered adding a battery blanket heater around there DEF tank? My situation is that my drive is only about 13 minutes to work and with a 15 minute warm up this is only half an hour, this doesn't give the factory tank heater enough time to thaw out the fluid when it is colder. I...

    Exhaust "SIMS", wehre to buy?

    Does anyone know where I can buy some "sims" that plug into the harness by the dpf in place of the egt sensors that used to be there in my case? One of mine had a melt down and I can't seem to be able to find them anywhere online anymore.

    DEF service required??

    Got my first check engine light on Saturday morning. I remote started the truck and it started, I walked away from the window and when I went out it had shut off on it's own before the 15 minute time. I got in and started it again and it had the check engine light on. It has been on all weekend...

    Passive entry

    Just had the drivers side door entry/lock feature stop working today. the little button does nothing when pressed, and the door doesn't unlock when you place your hand within the handle. Passenger side works fine. Anyone else had this happen yet? Not impressive for only being one month old.:mad:

    8.4" AN stereo annoyances

    Just wondering if I'm alone with these particular issues. -when stereo is put on mute before shutting off the truck, it will always be on when I restart the truck regardless of if it is with the remote start, or in the truck starting it. -I set the speaker balances to where I want it, and it...

    Front axle disconnect

    I wonder how long it will be till someone comes out with a front axle lock bypass so that the truck can be used in low range on dry ground/pavement to maneuver heavy loads? Like they had for the second gen trucks which did to two of them. Although this would be breaking my public commitment to...
