    Add rear camera, have cargo camera.

    I found a camera at camera source.com that plugs into the factory camera with a switch so I can put one at the rear and keep the one in the headache rack. Other than having to take the dash apart and figure out how to get the wires back there it wasn't too bad. The upfitter switches came in handy.

    Add rear camera, have cargo camera.

    I recently purchased a 2018 ram 5500 Laramie, It has a cargo camera in the headache rack. Is there a way to add a camera to the rear of the flatbed as the cargo camera won't be of much help once the truck camper is loaded. I am willing to relocate the existing camera if that's an option.

    EGR 2011

    Was changing my Crank case filter which I recently found out was needed. So I also checked my EGR valve and cooler as I changed the thermostat. After 86,000 miles there was only a light layer of black soot in the valve and no build up in the cooler. Nothing really even blew out of the valve and...

    Great info here. Replaced fan clutch yesterday. Once I locked the pulley in place by hooking a tie down strap in one of the pulley holes it was cinch. Friction from the Drive belt was not enough hold it in place. Had to find a tie down strap that had the hook protruding out. Used the Lisle...

    2011 Ram fan clutch diagnosis

    Any suggestions on diagnosing possible fan clutch issues on 2011 Ram 2500 6.7. Should fan spin freely when key is off? Should fan spin freely when key is on but truck not started? I am having two issues that have been suggested may be related to a bad fan clutch. Issue one, weak AC at Idle...

    Lost drive shaft ctr support bearing

    So I think the bearing is still good the bracket has rusted out and the bearing has slipped out of the center support, any way to fix this or do I just need to replace the whole assembly,? Just drop the drive shaft take the front to a shop and replace the center support? So much for fishing today

    Oil analysis results

    Yeah, It's deleted. I'm in Idaho falls so I don't see it below -20 too much, nor do I drive it as much in the winter.

    Oil analysis results

    So AME is the diesel Marine oil, looks like it only comes in 15w40, since it is synthetic it should function fine in the winter too although it's not a 5w. Called oil analyzers today they said it was normal accumulation of break-in wear, said if sodium was high along with higher potassium it...

    Oil analysis results

    Oil analysis trends making me jumpy. There are six years of data graphed below, the tabular data is just the last 5 years. Copper spiked in the 3rd year and was attributed to the EGR, Apparently amsoil dissolves some of the copper and has since stabilized. Two years ago high potassium levels...

    house battery will not charge when truck running lights are on

    OK we warmed up to freezing and I made some test leads and did some checking tonight but only on the camper with a freshly charged battery hauled out for the occasion. Both ground wires on the camper tie down bracket read 0000 when testing for continuity through the plug ground on the camper so...

    house battery will not charge when truck running lights are on

    Yes, this is an in bed camper. I will run an additional ground to the tie downs and one temporarily to the truck and see if I that helps any.

    the ground on the truck is fine, and I do not have any other light issues on the camper suggesting a grounding issue.
