    Violent Downshifts

    Mine was doing something similar. Was happening in the midst of my dealer trying to solve an oil leak, which they never did after over a half dozen return trips. Anyway, they just kept clearing codes saying nothing was wrong when I’d pick it up from another failed oil leak repair. Finally it...

    How are the 6.7L front suspension components holding up?

    I have to say, that’s not been my experience. We’ve been through a couple dozen 2500 & 3500 rams in the last 10 years working in construction and agriculture; our trucks have required considerable maintenance to the suspensions and brakes. I can’t imagine anyone would believe me if I said I ran...

    How are the 6.7L front suspension components holding up?

    Replaced basically the entire front end at 110k miles; should’ve done it around 85k miles. It was somewhere between $2500-$2800.... I can’t remember exactly because I had other work done at the same time and the bill was around $4500. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Radio stays on after car is turned off and driver door is opened

    Had a similar issue once on the uconnect 5.0 radio, and it was the Bluetooth from my phone keeping it on. Try turning Bluetooth off if you have it paired and see if that allows the radio to turn off. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    New BFG K02's

    Not that it matters but that about $500 too high for that tire. We stopped buying KO2’s for company trucks 2-3 years ago and switched to Toyo’s. Lots of complaints about the BFG’s. I’d mention to your son to give them a look when it’s time to change the BFG tires. Sent from my iPhone using...

    Passenger Window

    Sometimes my truck does this randomly and then will stop after a day. On a previous 4th gen I had, I took the switches out and cleaned the contact points and it worked normally again after that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    RADIO SWAP QUESTION

    I know you can’t swap the HVAC controls without changing a wiring harness and maybe something else. If you lookup the sticky thread on installing the 8.4” radio it’s detailed in there. I think the radio is plug & play but if you don’t already have the hands free system that part wouldn’t work...

    Towing speeds.

    That’s it! So many times I’ve heard guys I know talk about “yeh it says it’s only rated for XX lbs but my 1500 can pull it just fine”, and I’m always asking, “but can it stop it!‽?” Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Ball Joint time on my 2015 HD 6.4

    Just picked up mine today from having new ball joints replaced; also one of my brake calipers locked up Monday which is why I took it in. I’ll have to check receipt but I think it was just under a grand for them to be replaced. I know the total was like $3200 but that included tires also. It...

    Sirius XM whacked out or is it me?

    There is a feature on the radio to start songs at the beginning, and I think it’s for your top 6 preset stations. It’s called “tune start” or something like that. Look for it in the settings menu. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Transmission recall

    I’ve had the shifting issue lately. I’ve asked my dealer to do the recall twice now when in for service and they’ve yet to do it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Installed a Sony XAV-AX100 in my truck

    Sorry, I think I could’ve been more clear about that in my OP when I mentioned upgrading to the 200 for XM. I see I didn’t specifically say the 100 is not compatible. You will need the XAV-AX200SXM from crutchfield; it’s $448 and comes with the tuner. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Installed a Sony XAV-AX100 in my truck

    The AX100 is not compatible with XM or Maestro. AX200 or AX210 for XM. AX210 for Maestro. I’m almost certain you still need the tuner with a Maestro unit. I did look that up once but I can’t remember. I know the XM/gps antenna lead goes directly to the factory radio so I think you will have to...

    Installed a Sony XAV-AX100 in my truck

    I have bad news for you. This radio isn’t compatible with the XM tuner. You need an AX200 or AX210. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
