    Low RPM hesitation

    Looking at my notes of what my mechanic said, "transmission lines have a small leak, and should be replaced eventually. Keep an eye on your fuid levels. Drive Axle needs fixing and is considered a higher priority over the lines." I do recall him saying something about the lines previously. I...

    Low RPM hesitation

    To update this for anyone else running into a similar issue. I had run the truck in the Tow/Haul mode activated and that did help since it would keep the RPM's at a higher point. I could still manage to get the truck to hesitate and struggle if I accelerated at a very slow pace. As soon as my...

    Water Leak in Rear Window

    I replaced the gasket on on my 3rd brake light and it fixed my leaking rear window. Wish I would have known about it sooner as the water got in, froze, and destroyed my rear window motor. Now that window has been rendered useless.

    Low RPM hesitation

    There are no codes displaying on the dash, I don't have the tools to diagnose or run codes myself. I will check the tow/haul option, and different RPM's when in park. May be a few days before I can post results.

    Low RPM hesitation

    I will have to check the tow/haul option later. It is not throwing any codes, just something I can feel. Like a bump or lag. And almost exclusively while accelerating.

    Low RPM hesitation

    I've been experiencing a hesitation or skip while accelerating in the lower RPM range. I can feel the shimmy when it is lagging. Then once I get past it jumps into a lower gear and higher RPMs without issue. If I get on the throttle from the get go there is no lag. Truck has 133K miles on her...

    Is there any downsides to the Biotech?

    Synthetic Oil

    From the HPL site it showed $16.95/quart, Amazon was even higher. Must not be looking at the right site. I am in lower southern Michigan, we get the occasional cold spell that lasts about a week into the single digits or negative singles, but nothing too crazy. Never ran an 0w30, always stayed...

    Synthetic Oil

    Lot of great info on this thread, but man is it getting long and hard for me to keep up. I've been running Redline 5w30 in my hemi, but it is getting expensive. What are some more affordable options, and how would the compare? From what I gathered some recent options suggested are: -Redline 5w30...

    Borla Pro XS

    I had the Borla Pro XS and loved it, but had a to replace due to a bad install by my former mechanic. He had not welded it properly and the exhaust pipes rusted out where he welded it. Shop couldn't save the muffler and put a 14" Magnaflow on there to replace. The Borla Pro XS was a bit more...

    2011 Ram - FOB starts truck but won't unlock or lock doors - not a battery problem

    The metal contacts in your FOB have come loose. You can crack it open and glue them back on, but they will come undone again. You can also get a new FOB via Amazon or Ace Hardware, think there is a procedure in he search function to program them yourself without having to go to the dealership...

    Sliding Rear Window Motor

    I had noticed my rear sliding window was not opening a few weeks ago. Didn't think much of it as it was about 5 degrees F outside. I had tried it thinking it may be not closed all the way because I heard a rattling noise in the area (turned out rattle noise was from ice build-up on SoftTopper...

    What's this ?

    Well that is the culprit. Pretty rusty, so sprayed what I had to no effect. However I could still get a little movement with it, and was able to get it back to the free position. Wire tightened back up. Still debating on tightening a hair to try and shore it up some more, but bottom line is I...

    What's this ?

    Well I checked and can't seem to see anything wrong. Engaged the parking brake and it tightened right up. Put it in gear and truck would not move, so the brake was working. Release the brake and it's loose again and truck can move. Any thoughts? Edit: I found this link so am going to get back...

    What's this ?

    I will take a close look and see if I can find out what the problem is. Last time I used it was for changing my oil. Disengaged it before I drove though. Maybe it didn't completely disengage. The handle in the cab is partially broke from previous owner.

    What's this ?

    Need help identifying this hanging from my truck. Never noticed it before and seems awfully loose. Looks like I can tighten it. Seems odd that it would loosen up out of the blue.

    @Burla, are you a big proponent of the Lube Guard in your oil? In addition to the Redline?

    Heater Went out

    Well just in case you were holding your breathe, You were correct regarding the snow covering/clogging up the vents.

    Heater Went out

    Thanks, I tried cleaning off truck real quick before she had to leave, and got most of the snow off, but may have missed some areas. I was a bit distracted as the dogs were running off. Those darn Great Danes love to run, and when they do, they don't listen too well. Lol, they are fast.

    Heater Went out

    Wife took my truck to work this morning due to the snowstorm last night, and she said the heater wasn't working. She said it was blowing snow through the vents. What is weird is that it was working just fine last night when I drove it. Any ideas what might be the cause? Stuck valve or...

    Headlight bulb replacement info

    Similar issue, but my connection in the harness was burnt out. Replaced the harness and worked perfectly. Think the harness I found was on Amazon for like $12 or something. Easy plug and play installation.

    Got side swiped

    In Michigan we also have Under/Uninsured liability coverage. I would run it by your agent to see if they think it would increase your premiums any. Would hurt.

    No Door chime and signal clicker

    My '12 has options on the steering wheel where you can turn on/off certain settings like overhead dome, making sounds when locking with keyfob, etc.. Might just have to sit in your truck and fool around with your settings. Oh, and welcome to the forum.
