    Trailer light question

    Not really a trailer question, but more of a truck question. I'll acknowledge I haven't tried to troubleshoot yet, but thought I'd see if the TDR brain trust might have had something like this occur. Hooked up my gooseneck flatbed this morning. Used the 7 prong plug in the side of the bed...

    12 in. radio issues?

    Couldn't find anything on a search, so figured I'd start a thread. Wondering if anyone is having or had issues with their 12 in. radio. Mine is frequently going blank, then 'reloading'. Or it will buzz and then lose everything on the screen. Will not load CarPlay quite often. I'll take it...

    Apple Car Play

    Did a search and only found an old thread from 2021. This weekend, while heading home from Wisconsin, I was using the Car Play (wireless) connection and map function which displays the map/directions on my screen (12 in. version). Long story short, in the middle of the drive, the Car Play...

    P040B

    Did a search and didn't find this code discussed, although there was a thread close to it, but it got de-railed so thought I'd throw this out. 2023 2500, 7450 miles. CEL came on when I started the truck this morning. Pulled the code, P040B, which is 'exhaust gas recirculation temperature...

    Maxcare?

    Did a search, but didn't find anything since 2022. Getting a new 2023 and am wondering if anyone has purchased the Maxcare warranty recently and approx. costs and term? I bought the 8 year, 85k mile one on my 2018 and it paid for itself even though I only have 36k on the truck now. New radio...

    Any 2023 issues?

    Currently have a 2019 Power Wagon and 2018 3500 SRW, Aisin, 8 foot bed. Thinking of downsizing to one vehicle and am looking at a 2023 Mega Cab 2500, Cummins, etc. Wondering if anyone is aware of any 2023 issues? And any thoughts on going to a 6'4 bed and 2500. Don't tow often, but when I...

    Oil leak thoughts?

    Have the truck in my signature, 2018 3500 SRW, Asian. After towing Saturday and a bit yesterday, this morning I noticed an oil spot about 4 inches in diameter under the truck. Took it to town today and after getting home and sitting for about an hour, there's another 1 inch (so far) spot of...

    Parasitic Battery Drain

    Truck in my signature is completely stock. New batteries in April of 2021. This morning again, the batteries were too low to start the truck. Truck has sat for one week without driving. This has happened several times before when it sat for several weeks. What I'm wondering is if anyone...

    Selling vehicle covered by Maxcare

    I know I can probably find the answer by reading the paperwork, but thought I'd ask in case anyone went through it recently. Dealer is really trying to buy my 2018 Laramie. I bought the Maxcare warranty when I bought the truck. Warranty is still good for 4 yrs., 60k miles. Does anyone know...

    RV winterizing--blow out or antifreeze?

    My previous 5th wheel I always ran rv antifreeze into the pipes. My current unit the owners manual says can blow out lines or pump antifreeze in the lines. Wondering if there are any pros or cons to either method and what everyone prefers? My preference would be to blow out the lines on this...

    8.4 radio fuse?

    In my ongoing saga with the piece of crap 8.4 radio which lost the compass/nav feature 10 days ago, I have another question. Truck is scheduled to go to dealer this Friday. When I went out to try and start it now, everything is completely dead. I put the battery charger on and the 8.4 screen...

    Nav/Compass problem

    I have the 8.4 radio with nav, etc. Yesterday my nav couldn't find my location or plot a route. Also, the compass is not showing an accurate direction, i.e. I was heading north and the dash said I was going southwest. Thought I'd check here before taking it to the dealer in case there was an...

    P0302 cylinder #2 misfire

    Wondering if anyone can shed some light on the above code/description. Friend of mine with a 2016 2500 Cummins was traveling here to Wyoming. Around Omaha, the check engine light came on. Drove the rest of the way here without any noticeable issues. Pulled up the code and did a search, but...

    Why?

    Changed my batteries yesterday and ran into an idiotic engineering design, imo! The nuts to loosen the battery clamps on the driver's side were 10 mm. On the passenger side, the same clamp nuts were 8 mm! What a PIA. Why would they use 2 different size nuts for the same clamps?

    8.4 radio problems update?

    It appears the dreaded 8.4 radio issues got me this morning. Drove to town, all was fine with radio and answered a phone call. Stop truck, get back in and start up and the all the sat. radio, nav, media, etc. are gone. Only thing left is 'climate' and 'controls'! Thankfully, the heat seems...

    RV manufacturers update?

    It appears my current Arctic Fox 5th wheel is sold, so I'm in the market for another RV. It's been years since I bought the current unit so if anybody has any suggestions on manufacturers to stay away from, I'd appreciate it. I know in the past anything from Keystone or Forest River was pretty...

    2020 fold flat floor

    Our 2020 3500 SRW came without a fold flat rear floor. Does anyone know if one can be installed and is it just a bolt in process like on my '18? Thanks in advance.

    Backup/Cargo cameras inoperative

    Just thought I'd throw this out to see if anyone experienced a similar problem Yesterday afternoon backup camera worked fine. Parked in garage overnight and this morning neither the backup or cargo cameras work even when I go to 'controls' and try to manually turn them on. Yesterday was...

    MaxCare Waranty--Took the Plunge

    Well, for the first time on my 8th Ram/Cummins since 1991, I took the plunge and bought the extended MaxCare warranty. Plan to do more traveling once I retire so wanted peace of mind if I have problems on the road. Guess I'll know in 8 yrs. if it was worth it. One encouraging thing-- I asked the...

    Ceramic glow plugs???

    Picked up the new 2018 3500 SRW on Friday and while reading the 'quick start' brochure, it says the truck uses ceramic glow plugs to pre-heat before starting. Is that correct and they no longer use the manifold grid heater? Or, the brochure says for 1500/2500/3500 trucks and might they be...
