    Back up camera blury

    On my 2015 Big Horn, the factory installed back up camera mounted in the the tail gate produces a blurred image on the screen. The lens is clean & unbroken, electrical connections for the tail gate assembly are clean & dry (at both the body harness to the tail gate and the connection within...

    Norcold 3 way fridge drawing excessive current in "Battery" mode.

    WOW!! Thanks everyone. I may just abandon the option of the fridge since it functions perfectly on AC & propane. We also have a travel trailer with a 2 way fridge and it works just fine while on the road (in the propane mode). The Lances' fridge has a mind of its' own when it comes to using...

    Norcold 3 way fridge drawing excessive current in "Battery" mode.

    Wiring from the engine compartment to the camper was accomplished by an "authorized" Lance dealer and was done in 2015 when I purchased the truck. All was fine. I've not made any additions to the electrical demand on the camper. Information decals on the inside of the fridge state amp draw &...

    Norcold 3 way fridge drawing excessive current in "Battery" mode.

    I'm unable to measure the exact current draw but it's enough to activate the on board "battery isolater" which in turn means the truck alternator is not charging the coach battery. I was able to trouble shoot the "DC heating element" with an ohm meter and got a reading of 1.1 ohms. I'm out of...

    O.A.T. raditor fluid

    john, thanks for the info. Based on what I could see on the reservoir body, it's below "min" level marking. But how much fluid do I need to bring it up to "max",,,,,,unsure. Good news is I'm close to a auto parts store, so I'll get some O A T. As to the 2ned post, my fault, wasn't sure if my...

    O.A.T. raditor fluid

    Is it O.K. to top off reservoir with water? Thanks,Jim

    "low fluid" appears on info ctr.

    Know it pertains to radiator fluid (confirmed fluid is below"max"). Can I top off with only water? Owners manual doesn't specify. Thanks, Jim

    DTC P0542; Intake air heater "A" circuit high.

    I THANK everyone for their help. The photos helped a lot. I've disconnected the positive battery cable to the solenoid, I noticed it has a "fusible" link and I'm guessing the "link" would've melted before serious damage to the grid heater occurred. One additional point, I noticed the (on...

    DTC P0542; Intake air heater "A" circuit high.

    Well, my story JUST keeps getting better & better. After reading your suggestion, I consulted my "Haynes" for info on the "solenoid" & where it's located. According to Haynes, thee are 2 relays located on the "right battery" (they even showed a photo), not a solenoid. After closer inspection...

    DTC P0542; Intake air heater "A" circuit high.

    Ltngdrvr, a bit more info on my plight, physical location & ambient air temp. Currently we're is southern Nevada (Las Vegas area) where temps are in the 60's to 70's. The "check eng. light came on while I was driving, had been on the road for 'bout an hour. At that point in time I had no way...

    DTC P0542; Intake air heater "A" circuit high.

    Would appreciate any info on this code., mainly, how serious it is. The "Haynes Repair Manual" tells me zilch. I'm currently 900 miles from my home and towing our 30 ft. travel trailer. Am I going to have serious problems if I continue to drive? So far, everything is O.K. My ride is a 2015...

    Turbo failure @ 67k miles

    I'm quoting from the dealer's/mechanic paper work: "scanned vehicle & found code P003 turbocharger boost control module position exceeded learning limit. Checked turbo actuator wiring & electrical connections all OK. Checked turbo actuator gears & found binding nozzle on slide- p/trouble chart...

    Turbo failure @ 67k miles

    Sorry JR, it's already on it's way to BD Diesel so I can get my $600.00 core charge refund.

    Turbo failure @ 67k miles

    The mechanic said the actuator was the problem and we discussed replacing JUST the actuator. But he also stated that he'd done this in the past and shortly afterward the customer was back needing the turbo replaced. So I opted for changing the entire unit.

    Turbo failure @ 67k miles

    I've got a 2015, 2500. It's stock & not abused, all scheduled maintenance is followed. So to have a turbo replaced at 67k came as a shock. I've been reading threads regarding the turbo & actuator replacements and again was surprised by the number. Is this a common problem with our turbos...

    Will air bags solve the problem

    NIsaacs, Thanks for the info. I found it to be not only informative but somewhat confusing as well. As you noted when you found "not recommended" with bench seats but ok with "bucket" seats. The more I looked, the more confused I became. I too saw the same entry and the "bucket" seat model has...

    Will air bags solve the problem

    I have 2 RV rigs, a 26’ travel trailer and an 8’ slide in camper, both are within the weight limits of the trucks’ towing & hauling capacity, however the camper is VERY close to the cargo weight limit. The truck is a ’14 Big Horn, 2500, long bed, crew cab and is “stock” from the dealer. The...

    Scheduled Maintenance Question

    My ride is a 2014 Big Horn 2500. Just had a dealer perform 30k miles scheduled maintenance a/per owners manual. As I was going through the associated paper work from the dealer (after I got home) I noticed an item for 36k maintenance; "Perform diesel fuel injection system fluid exchange...

    Cargo Capacity question

    The "door jam sticker" on my 2015, 2500 Big Horn states 1,919 lbs. But when researching my vehicle on "moparowners.com" cargo capacity is listed at 2,315 lbs. I'm guessing the door jam sticker is the true limit based on what options were installed at the factory and the info from mopar is based...
