    Preventative Maintenance Brake Fluid Flush?

    I don't know exactly how many quarts you can flush out of the system, I'm just trying to explain that the accumulator stores the fluid until it is needed to modulate pressure to each wheel. There is no way to purge the fluid inside the accumulator without activating the ABS.

    Preventative Maintenance Brake Fluid Flush?

    While it is true that the brake lines go from the m/c to the ABS module before going to the calipers, the brake fluid stored inside the ABS module accumulator chamber will not be flushed out using just a power bleeder. The fluid inside the accumulator will always stay in there until the ABS is...

    Preventative Maintenance Brake Fluid Flush?

    Keep in mind that a flush and bleed operation on all modern vehicles also requires flushing old fluid that is stored inside the ABS accumulator pump. The old way we are all accustomed to will only flush out the the fluids in m/c and calipers, there is a significant amount of fluid inside the ABS...

    Diesel Tuner Faces Year in Prison for Defying EPA

    Shouldn't the EPA be going after the vehicle owners who are creating the demand for removing or bypassing emission controls? Or is the shop who is facilitating the illegal modifications entirely to blame?

    Just installed the Titan 52 gal fuel tank today

    Looking at the titan tank web site, I noticed that this tank will not fit a 2WD CCSWB. Just curious as to why it only fits 4WD trucks? Could it be for safety reasons as the 2WD sits a bit lower, thus exposing the tank to potential damage?

    UConnect cell modem always on & transmitting location data & more

    There are no options (that I can find) under "settings" that allows turning it off. There is an option in the Apps menu to turn on/off the WiFi hot spot, but that just allows other devices within range to use your truck's Cell modem as a connection point (if you're paying for the service)...

    UConnect cell modem always on & transmitting location data & more

    Don't know what the Toolbox App is about, never used it myself. As far as all the cool features that come with the UConnect transmitting my truck's status all the time... no thanks. I can keep track of my tires, oil changes and routine maintenance needs myself. And I don't like the idea that my...

    UConnect cell modem always on & transmitting location data & more

    Shortly after I bought my new 18 Ram CTD I started receiving emails from FCA with status info about my truck. Info like what my tire pressures were set to, when my next service would be due, the current mileage on the odo, etc... Didn't think much of it at first, but then I noticed that AAA did...

    Understanding MOPAR 5th wheel hitch options for 5th Wheel / Gooseneck Towing prep group

    I've been using my Curt 5th wheel for two years now and am also happy with it. No issues at all hitching & unhitching when tilted with truck & trailer at different angles, and no chucking.

    15,000 mile service on my 18

    I'll do a video for you, in about 2k miles when I'm due. Will you then admit that your way is not the only way?

    15,000 mile service on my 18

    I guess some people have a lot more manual dexterity than others. Like dieselhadow, I am also a full time mechanic (though retired now) and have lots of practice getting my hands into and around odd places. Being ambidextrous also helps. Could it be that a 2WD like mine is easier than a 4WD...

    15,000 mile service on my 18

    Maybe I've been lucky so far, but really not that difficult at all for me to do it that way.

    15,000 mile service on my 18

    The only problem I encountered on the first oil change was this one: https://www.turbodieselregister.com/threads/2018-ram-oil-drain-plug-damage-found-on-1st-oil-change.266290/

    15,000 mile service on my 18

    I've changed the oil twice on my 18 2500 2wd, accessing the filter from the fender after removing the wheel. Used Geno's cap and pre-filled the filter without issues and not a drop spilled. The original filter was tight but my old KD strap wrench worked fine.

    Received a letter from CARB

    Those cameras are for traffic monitoring and help us to get up to the minute and accurate updates on traffic jams and accidents along the major highways. A very good thing for those who spend a lot of time commuting to work during rush hour. And its not just here in California. Big Brother is...

    Received a letter from CARB

    Same here in California. This wasn't the first letter I received a letter from CARB... Some 20+ years ago I used my HJ61 Landcruiser for commuting and everyday stuff, CARB sent me a letter stating that my vehicle was measured at a one of their mobile ck points that scans your exhaust as you...
