    Transmission Woes (and haven't been on in a while)

    If Ram is still a Dodge, then I have a Chrysler. Same engineering as the K-Car. I shouldn't say that though because as I began modifying and de-Chrysler-ing it, it's actually becoming a really fun truck to drive and its probably better now at 210k miles than it was when it was new. After...

    2 Wheel Drive T-Case Fault U0102

    My 2012 1500 SLT 4.7L FlexFuel *** RWD *** has a fault code that I cannot understand. U0102 shows up and supposedly is a communication issue with the T-Case. This showed up when I was at the very end and fixed a C121E code that resulted in essentially replacing the entire braking system until I...

    Best Mods for Under $100

    The best upgrade so far for me has been this cold air ram intake that I got new for $66.99. The tube is aluminum and has an amazing throaty sound when the gas is smashed. I've bragged to my co-workers that my truck purrs and growls now. I haven't played my much, much more expensive upgrade in a...

    U0102 Fault Code for T-Case - But Its a 2012 RAM 1500 SLT 4.7L Rear Wheel Drive - Not T-Case Equipped!

    For the last year and then some, I've fought a C121E that I finally found the cause and answer to when I swapped out the ABS control module, pump, and valve body (or it was the three of six shattered phenolic pistons that were only 6 months old). The ABS control module, valve body, and pump that...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    Okay, so I'm still sort of fighting this code because something just isn't quite right. Nothing is really working poorly, but because of my background in avionics and aviation electronics repair, these little codes can creep up to cause much bigger problems later. It has a U1147 code and while I...

    C121E That Persists

    First I want to thank anyone who offered assistance or even read my stupid stream of thought long posts. Seriously, thank you. Second, I'm feeling more confident that I found the problems that caused the error code or contributed to a year and a half of the cartoon out of control car light...

    @jriptide38 What year is your truck?

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    DON'T BUY A HEAD UNIT FROM PHOENIX AUTOMOTIVE!!!! I'm gave Phoenix Automotive a last try to get the correct files for the 2012 RAM 1500 to me. They had me schedule a tech support call with Jinjun Myung. He seems like a nice guy in a tough situation. As with all of the other tech support calls...

    U1147 / Phoenix Automotive 12" T-Style Head / 2012 Ram 1500 SLT 4.7L

    It has a can bus module built in the unit, but they only reference it for plugging it in with the other harnesses. It's been doing some strange things like when I use the menu down button on the steering wheel, the head unit starts beeping like its loading new firmware. I haven't returned it...

    C121E That Persists

    Even though the calipers that I replaced less than a year ago were brand new, not remanufactured, and definitely not used, they might get replaced again. It seems that they, are going to be phenolic piston garbage, just as the original ones that I replaced with four shattered pistons. No one...

    C121E That Persists

    Does anyone know where to get a 54mm diameter x 54mm height steel brake caliper piston? Okay, so the code keeps coming back and now, my truck pulls to the right when I brake. Checking the front left wheel (pulls right when braking / left brake issue) the brake was frozen, meaning it was not...

    C121E That Persists

    Today during my lunch break, I was driving with the codes cleared and the traction control light illuminated. I hit the brakes right when it illuminated to see if there was something instantaneous that was gone by the time I would need the brakes. For the first time since I put new brake...

    C121E That Persists

    Nope! It was fine on the 7 mile drive to the store, but on the way back, the light returned. For reference, I was driving steadily at 40mph with my foot very lightly on the gas pedal to maintain the speed, very steady RPMs, going straight, I was not turning, on a smooth, well maintained road. No...

    C121E That Persists

    No used the new one that came with it. I think I found the issue and solved the problem, but since it would go away for as long as two days, I don't want to hold my breath until its been a week, possibly more. With only the ABS pump and control module and the brake booster left that I haven't...

    C121E That Persists

    Yeah, I bought it used with 123k miles on it and now have 207k. I've continued to work on it. It's now been a year and a month or more since I started trying to repair the defect causing the C121E. So far, this is what I replaced in as close of a chronological order as I can recall: - brake...
