    Help turning 5 lug to 6 lug swap on my 09 Laramie 4th gen

    Changing out the front hubs would probably be pretty easy as long as there's compatibility, But, just swapping rear axles might present an issue if there's a spline difference. At that point it would be simpler to like-for-like the entire diff and housing. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet...

    Fuel Warning Light - How many Gallons remain when comes on?

    I agree. What I was merely attempting to explain was the basis for the continued belief. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33-gallon fuel tank, 18” wheels. Build Date: 3 June 2018. Now at 113560 miles.

    Opinions wanted, use Gumout or not to use Gumout?

    I agree. For me the regular Techron doesn't seem to do anything. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33-gallon fuel tank, 18” wheels. Build Date: 3 June 2018. Now at 113515 miles.

    Fuel Warning Light - How many Gallons remain when comes on?

    Back in the seventies, I believe, a certain manufacturer (not Chrysler) used a fuel return system that essentially allowed the fuel pump to run all the time. These suffered a lot of failures and the civilian theory was the pump was overheating. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie...

    Were my intake manifold bolts loose? The answer has arrived!!

    If you buy new intake manifold bolts from the dealer, you will get a part that has pre-applied blue locking material on the threads. I was once told that for a period of time the factory used bolts without any locking material. This could explain why some report them being loose and others...

    Rear Axle Maintenance

    Just a guess, but like the switch to lighter engine oils, reducing the viscosity range of gear oils will likely reduce drag.

    Any inside news on upcoming ram/Jeep sales?

    Hard to say, although someone at my dealership said 2024 was the last year for 4th gens. Then again sales is important and tooling has long been amortized and as long as tooling corrections and/or repairs are not too expensive, of course that would also be dependent on the available power...

    Any inside news on upcoming ram/Jeep sales?

    Sometimes people misread things, or hear/read misinformation, or jump to conclusions, especially since many Mopar people suffer more from self loathing and suspicion. In the included link there is a mention of "reduce(ing) the North American footprint," but there's no mention of moving anything...

    ZF Transmission pan

    Cork was never a solution on GM valve covers! They were sensitive to over torqueing, terrible to remove old ones, and leaked soon after installation.

    Engine surges on start up

    You are correct, although I think there's a time-out regardless of temperature feedback. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33-gallon fuel tank, 18” wheels. Build Date: 3 June 2018. Now at 113011 miles.

    6.4 oil pressure light

    I forgot how to do it, but there's a simple Gauge Self Check procedure that's initiated by manipulating the steering wheel controls. This check will cause all gauges to activate and sweep through the range: low, mid scale, high scale. This will quickly verify instrument cluster operation. My...

    Engine oil and weight for 2023 5.7 Classic that won't void warranty. I've read many threads but don't have all day.

    Are you sure the bearing clearances are the same? Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33-gallon fuel tank, 18” wheels. Build Date: 3 June 2018. Now at 112977 miles.

    Sad Sign Of The Times

    Although this prediction MAY be correct, keep in mind it's just an opinion. As a way to reduce emissions and increase fuel mileage requirements established by the government, smaller displacement engines with direct injection, forced induction and less pistons, will undoubtedly be more popular...

    Remote start key fob question

    On my Monrony, far left column under Standard Equipment, FUNCTIONAL SAFETY FEATURES, it lists Remote-Start System. The remote start was factory supplied in my truck and anytime I've seen it entered that way the vehicle had factory installed remote start. Maybe there's a difference for 4th gens...

    No broken motor mounts? It seems everyone I've known with an Odyssey has had at least one break. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet Silver Laramie Quad Cab 2WD, 5.7 Hemi, 8HP75, 3.21 axle, 33-gallon fuel tank, 18” wheels. Build Date: 3 June 2018. Now at 112538 miles.

    2016 RAM 1500 new Fuel Pump too high pressure?

    There may be an interpretation problem. If the definition of the fault code is "Fuel Pressure Sensor B Circuit High," it should mean the circuit voltage is high, not the fuel pressure. ADDENDUM: You may have an open sensor return circuit to the ECM, or perhaps a bad ground. Regards, Dusty...

    AlfaOBD and AGM Batteries

    My ATVs are not used regularly, but when dormant I keep a AGM-compatible trickle charger on them. They are called into service a few times a year, with the exception of hunting season when they are used daily for at least a week. In the winter months one is stored in my garage which usually...

    5.7 timing, is this normal?

    Check the cam phaser. It may not be returning to home position all the way. Being a 2011, I'd replace the cam phaser anyways.

    AlfaOBD and AGM Batteries

    I've had poor results from using an AGM in my ATVs. I've had to replace them each year for three years straight and during hunting season they come close to failing during the cold. I'm afraid to go AGM when it's time to replace the battery in the truck. Regards, Dusty 2019 Ram 1500 Billet...

    $70k Truck Falling Apart at 38k Miles

    I was not aware of a dash peeling issue on the Limited trim. My sister had a Lincoln MKZ (?) that the upper dash cover did the same thing. Ford would not fix it. We had a little neighborhood get-together yesterday where I was introduced to a young Toyota salesperson from out-of-town. He was...

    True new generation redesign?

    Ford will reflash the transmission for these problems, but as Ford Tech Maculuco (sp?) explains the transmission will eventually relearn itself back into the problem. Although of common design, what I hear is the Ford 10R series is having more issues than the GM version. Regards, Dusty 2019...
