    Another DEF Question

    I was only asking as it has a finite shelf life, I live in NC so ambient temps are not an issue for me really, but folks living in the SW where it regularly gets above 90 could potentially run into issues of reduced potency. Not saying that's the issue or is an issue, but I know the trucks have...

    Purchase new 2024?

    My 2020 has almost 40k on it and its been fine so far

    Another DEF Question

    How old is the DEF? My truck sits for extended periods also, but I try to run the DEF all the way out before putting more so that it never ages out.

    Replaced the "Killer" Grid Heater Bolt

    The only time mine cycles is if I use remote start,.. I skip it and it always starts just fine.

    Clutch Fan Question

    Step one for anything on a CTD Ram is remove the wheel liners... I do it for the simplest of tasks as you can literally get to everything

    Clutch Fan Question

    The 2004.5+ trucks are mounted to the engine and even more of a headache according to my friend that has one.. We did the clutch in my 04 and the hardest part was getting the lower shroud out I recall (mine was busted).. I think I pulled the upper hose and the recovery bottle but not sure exactly..

    Differential Lube

    John noted Signature ATF... Same here I use it in the AISIN and TCase, (as well as in my other ATF applications)

    ZF Powerline for 2025 RAM HD Diesel

    No new cab / no new truck for me. The '20HO/AISIN does everything I need and some I don't. Hard to believe it is quieter, My truck is silent compared to other's I've driven.. Drove a 24 Gas 2500 last week with the 8spd.. I know I do not like the 10spd / exhbrake feeling of GM / Ford... so Id be...

    Exhaust System Service Required

    Sadly that is exactly my experience with these issues. When my truck was only 6 months old the MIL kept going on during a cross country trip with the family and the 5er. 3 times I stopped a dealers to get it check and they could not duplicate, reset the MI, updated SW, and said keep driving...

    U010E , U040F, and Limp Mode

    Glad to hear you got it fixed... I was dealing with intermittent loss of all ABS,CC,etc... I was surprised how a chaffed wire due to interference with a metallic part could cause soo many issues... Best of luck with RAM,.. I have heard stories of them taking care of things after the dealer does not.

    I feel like LED Christmas lights are the worst IMHO

    Heater grid bolt failure

    I've had the opposite experience with both my maxcare warranties as they paid for themselves.. and especially with the electronics in the new RAMs its totally worth it. The 12" radio is more than the warranty, same with the active headlamps, one of those craps out and the warranty is worth it...

    Heater grid bolt failure

    The few weeks of cold we get here I usually use the block heater and a timer.. Coincidently the grid heater for me operates more in the transient temps say 40-50F when I hit the remote start and its not pugged in.

    Heater grid bolt failure

    I am inclined to check mine now,.. I use remote start frequently so may be worth looking at. I do not WTS but it is unavoidable with the remote system.

    Oil puddle at inlet of turbo

    I can check the one on my 20 when I get back home this weekend

    new 2024 at great price or 2025

    I tow 26k quite frequently with my AISIN.. No complaints what so ever, handles any grade / speed with ease. I for one have not ever had any of the shifting issues I've heard about, for me I prefer the 6spd over any of the 10spd(s) I've driven over the years.

    U010E , U040F, and Limp Mode

    Not saying this is your issue, but take a look at the harness and connections around the DEF system. I had an issue a few months ago where I was getting a code for lost communication and implausible data from the RR wheel sensor. Replaced the sensor, same issue, as it turned out the release...

    Diesel Module

    I love the claims of up to 90hp and up to 20% FE gains............ Snake oil, I for one cannot see how anyone with for sure a 19+ truck needs more for a DD. My truck has more than double the HP/TQ that my old reliable 04 had from the factory. No short cummings in my opinion, but like TopZide...

    Deletes Legal?

    Depends on how nasty the local govt wants to get right? Like residency, I would imagine if the vehicle spends most of its time in state they could require the license change, I toyed around with that idea when I had my home in VA but cost to transfer plus running around NC with out of state...
