    What is your coolant of choice?

    I’m preparing to do the EGR clean and install the BD grid heater fix. Obviously if I’m removing the EGR cooler I’ll have the coolant drained and would like to replace it also. The Mopar coolant is not readily accessible so I was thinking of using Peak Final Charge. I also have access to John...

    Check trailer brake warning

    First off I’ll admit I haven’t done a lot of digging into this problem yet. 2015 2500 long box truck if it matters. Without a trailer connected every time I step on the brake pedal I get a ding and check trailer brake wiring message. With a trailer connected everything operates as normal except...

    My turn P00AF code

    A little history. 2015 2500 with 101,000 miles. I’ve had it a year and half and put 9000 miles on it. I always drive with the exhaust brake on weather towing or not. My thought is that way it keeps everything moving even if I’m not on it hard. Anyway it has seemed a little down on bottom end...

    New batteries now low battery sign

    So my original batteries in my 2015 finally gave up. Well one did. The other still tested good. Anyway I installed 2 new Exide AGM batteries and am now getting the battery low message on the dash. I have 14.10 volts on each battery at the posts and battery voltage on the dash bounces between 13...

    Tire rotation?

    Probably a dumb question and I will admit I haven’t looked in the owner’s manual. Rotated the tires yesterday on my new to me 2015 2500. It now shows front tire psi on the rear and rear on the front. Will it eventually realize the tires are in a different position? I miss the old days with a...

    Is there a DEF filter?

    A question for you guys that have more experience with these trucks. Mine is a 2015 2500 Is there a DEF filter in the system that can be changed? I’m a diesel tech for a pump rental company and our Deere,Cat and JCB engines all have a 1000 hour filter change recommendation for the DEF filter...

    Truck box lighting

    I’ve seen some trucks that have optional under the box rail lights. My 2015 2500 does not. Would anyone know if the wiring is there or will I have to run it to the cab upfitter switches? Thank you

    Head light bulbs

    I find the headlights on my new to me 2015 tradesman packaged truck to be less than stellar. I actually think the original bulbs in my 06 were better. What BULBS have any of you found to be better? Not looking to put some Amazon projector head lights in it. Just looking to upgrade bulbs from...

    Phone charging

    On my new to me 2015 2500 tradesman interior the usb and lighter style plugs shut off when the key is shut off. I have been able to find any further information on this in my owner’s manual. Am I missing something? Just want to be able to charge my phone sometimes. Thank you

    Transmission service

    My new to me 2015 2500 has 90,000 miles on it and I’m not sure if the transmission has ever been serviced. I plan to do it this weekend. Anything I need to know? I’m planning to use NAPA filters.

    Low tire pressure warning

    Ok so apparently this new to me truck is smarter than I am. When I bought the truck the rear tires had 80 psi in them according to 2 pressure gauges I have. (Double checked to verify what it said on the dashboard). I was ok with that because we were going to be doing a decent amount of towing...

    Extended warranty?

    Heading to the dealership shortly to pick up my new to me 2015 2500. Of course they are trying to sell me an extended warranty. They claim it covers the emissions system. Does anyone have experience with this warranty? Thanks

    Tradesman radio

    I just purchased a 2015 tradesman 2500. Not what I wanted but with today’s market it’s what I could afford. It was time for the 06 to be replaced. Anyway I am curious about what you all have installed as a radio upgrade. I don’t need a 800 dollar radio just something that I can connect my iPhone...

    BW Companion 5th wheel

    I’m looking at a used truck that has the factory puck and goose neck system in it. I remember seeing where someone made an adapter that would replace the square post on my companion 5th wheel so it could be used with the factory Ram gooseneck socket. Can’t seem to find it now. Can anyone help?

    Drive shaft output plug

    Several years ago I replaced the ujoints in my 06 automatic. I had to heat the yokes to remove the nylon keepers and to get the cups out. Since then I have had a leak at the transfer case output. It’s not the seal leaking it’s coming out of the inside of the yoke. I remember reading somewhere...

    06 CP3 fuel leak

    My 06 has 108000 miles on it now. Was servicing it the other night and noticed a fuel leak coming from the CP3. I can’t determine where on the pump it’s coming from though. Maybe this is the cause of my extended crank time after it sits for a few days. Any suggestions? Thank you all

Turn down the radio and hear a knocking noise. It goes away when i step back on the pedal but I pulled over to check anyway. Vacuum pump has...

    Poor memory

    Hopefully someone can help me. I wasn’t smart enough to record where I purchased these. The Heim joint is shot I need the thread size and thread to order new probably from McMaster Carr if I can’t find the manufacturer. I just don’t want to down the truck to do so. Thanks in advance

    Need some mod advice

    I have a 2006 QCLB with a auto trans that I bought new to me 2 years ago with only 30k miles on it. I have a 29ft 5th wheel that it tows just fine. This year I am going to be towing a enclosed cargo trailer that I am not sure how much it will weigh a lot. It will contain at least 1 or 2 UTV's...
