    Not right - front tires worn on outside edges

    Just bought new tires for mine. The old tires had similar wear as yours not as bad. I’m watching the new tires to see how they wear, and so far I’m not seeing the same wear. 5000 miles on them and will rotate them in a day or two. I suspected alignment but not seeing the proof in this set yet.

    Vibration sound (not engine vibration)

    There is a rumble strip along side the stripe on the right side of the road. It’s meant to wake up sleepy or distracted drivers. You found it.

    temperature issues

    The thermostat maintains the coolest the truck will run. Ambient temperature, the load on the engine, and condition of the complete cooling system will dictate how hot the engine runs.

    What's that sound?

    I don’t have e-torque or air suspension so I’m going with e-brake too. Don’t really like e-brake coming on on its own because I’ve had brakes freeze in cold weather. Just rented a u-haul that seemed to do the same thing. If I didn’t set the brake it sounded like it set the brake for me?

    Battery replacement IBS registration using a Foxwell nt530

    Found this on the internet. It’s talking about a BMW, and it sounds like that tool is specifically for a BMW? But it does give a procedure to make it happen. https://www.youcanic.com/register-bmw-battery-foxwell-schwaben-scanner/

    Sudden No Start

    I had the same exact experience. Took a long breaker bar and tapped rather hard on the side of your starter. If it cranks you’ve narrowed it down the the starter solenoid. You can easily access the starter from the drivers side wheel well. HUGE WORD OF CAUTION. The battery cable is right down...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    So being just plain ole mean sometimes, had a bit of fun with a navy buddy once. He came from New York City and I guess he just never needed a car. Finally bought and got his license when he turned 23. Told him to be sure and change the air in his tires every ten thousand miles, or they would...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Yeah. I’ve never changed brake fluid either and I’ve driven some old worn out cars. Maybe replacing brake parts have saved my butt over the years?

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Saw the neatest thing a day or so ago. Kinda takes the guesswork out of the equation. BSBMIEQM Brake Fluid Liquid Tester, Auto Brake Diagnostic Testing Tool, Hydraulic Fluid Liquid Oil Moisture Analyzer with 5 LED Indicators, Auto Brake Diagnostic Testing Tool for DOT3 DOT4 Brake Fluid...

    4 wheel drive on evic cluster

    Initial start does a self test on all the lights in the cluster just to let you know the bulbs are good. That’s why you are seeing the 4wd at start up. Your bcm doesn’t recognize the cluster. Flash time.

    0249AC springs. What is at the top?

    It won’t fix it. The lube will just quiet it down enough so you can say that is the noise. You’ll have to get it back in position.

    0249AC springs. What is at the top?

    Looks like a Teflon insulator. On my Jeep forum some folks don’t replace them when they lose one or replace springs. Probably for reducing metal to metal contact and wear. Could be your noise. Spray a liberal amount of silicon lube in there and see if your noise goes away.

    Changed battery on 2019 1500 and now no power to vehicle, bad fuse?

    Load test the battery. Maybe you got a bum one. Multimeter reading won’t give you a true story of the condition of a battery

    Replacing a broken left mirror -- do the part numbers have to be an exact match?

    If the Ram world is anything like the Jeep world… the letter at the end is just an up grade of some kind to make the part a bit better. Just guessing but I’d say it’ll work just fine.
