    SiriusXM Antenna connection

    I figured it out... The yellow is the SiriusXM and the red was the AM/FM antenna. I think I might have lost the GPS but won't know until I drive it. Since I use a better GPS on the dash when traveling, it's not an issue....

    SiriusXM Antenna connection

    Need some info for the signature truck. I just got back from a 2 week, 3000+ mile trip with no tunes. The Lance camper, with the rear cab mounted antenna, blocks any reception. Of course I should have fixed this years ago... I've got an antenna and adapter to mount on the hood and I'm looking...

    I noticed that too. Something got lost in translation!

    Serpentine Belt 2012

    Exactly! That 1/8" is all it took to get the belt over the lip of the pulley. My hands and arms look like ground beef, but it's in and working as it should.

    Error Codes P2228 and P2229

    The above codes (Barometric Pressure Low and Barometric Pressure High) are showing as Permanent on my OBD2 reader. I screwed up this morning after changing the accessory belt and started the engine before hooking up the Air Intake Temp and MAF sensors. Check Engine light was lit. I reset the...

    Serpentine Belt 2012

    Dayco # 5081260 which the tech said should have been a 5081265 (unavailable locally) The other belt that was too long I don't have the number. This morning's Gates 25-081264 would not go on, that was this morning's first try.Then a Gates 25-081256 on the second try, fit's perfect. I swear I...

    Serpentine Belt 2012

    Three days and still no love... Go to Advance Auto and pick up a listed Dayco belt for my 2012 3500. NO way it'll fit! At least a 1/2" short. Call Dayco customer service and finally get to a "Sales Engineer". Opps our catalogue is wrong, the belt listed is 1/2" too short. Fine, he gave me the...

    First year DEF was added to the trucks

    Slowly but surly the feds are withholding highway funds for what ever reason they deem fit. My guess is inspections for registration will be next. That will catch a few of the delete guys.

    Flanged Lug Nut Torque

    Thank you! I looked up the recall and found the same info. I didn't think to search for Ram Lug nut recall... oops Of course the dealer didn't do the owner's manual update.

    Flanged Lug Nut Torque

    Owner manual states 130 to 145 Ft Lbs of torque for the lug nuts. The recall on my truck said this was in error and was causing wheel stud stretch. On my truck one did shear off. Took it in for the recall and they replaced the sheared stud and inspected the remaining 31 studs (I assume). Problem...

    30,000 mile injector "tune up"?

    I think I got what is called in the Service Writer world, an Up Sell. In layman terms, screwed. I tried to call and text the service writer and he's not responding. Can't wait to pick up my truck, which will most likely be on Friday now. BTW I had ignored the lug nut recall until one of the...

    30,000 mile injector "tune up"?

    Truck is in for the lug nut recall and while it's there I'm having the oil and filter changed, Fuel filters changed and they suggested an "injector tune up" which they clean and check the injectors. The schedule calls for this at 30,000 miles, I have 38,000 on my 2012 3500 crew dually. Is the...

    Is there a bed weight limit

    That was just a quick search but it does give some details about center of gravity and weight limits. Along with the information from the camper manufacture AND diligent calculations of what you're going to put in the camper, you can make an educated guess on what works and what doesn't. I...

    RAM EV ANNOUNCEMENT

    Electric trucks are selling. There are tons of trucks out there that never see any cargo more than groceries. Maybe the occasional trip to Home Depot in the spring for the new plantings. These trucks will work quite well for those folks AND cut down their Carbon Foot Print (said tongue in...

    Communications Radio Aux Speaker Mounting...

    Depending on how often people are in the back seat, what I did was put a speaker in a wooden box with velcro "hook" side taped on it, stuck it to the carpet behind the console. Pointed up it's easy enough to hear and pretty much out of the way, unless you have 3 people in the back.

    Hauling a 3000 lbs truck camper on my new 2022 3500 ho aisin srw

    I've got the Hellwig Big Wig and the independently operated Air Lift bags on my '12. I have a 10' Lance. HUGE difference with both the Camper and my 36' toy hauler. The independent bag allow you to tilt into the side wind. I installed an onboard compressor for the air bags. As for the bags, get...
