    RAM TIPM FUEL PUMP RELAY

    Just happened to me on a 2011 Ram 1500. Certainly didn't seen like a faulty relay though. It would start every time unless the truck had sat for more than about 5 hours, then I would have to turn the key to on, and off, and on, and off, and on, and off, to try to build up some fuel pressure...

    Check gas cap?

    Hi, Just started experiencing this. Started a couple of weeks ago with P0456 and P0456pd setting off the check engine light. Reset those a couple of times, and now no codes, but the Check Gas Cap light comes on every time. I'll start with a new cap, not expecting that to fix it. This is a...

    Has anyone filled in door handle holes??

    Buy a swim noodle at Walmart and cut a piece to the right length and wedge it in the hole really good.

    Swing Case - nice tool box

    Just added two of these to my truck last night. The best price I found was at autoplicity, for $157. Installed very easy. Only two problems to note. They are lockable, and you would think that if you buy two of them, Autoplicity would make sure they have the same keys. Not the case. The...

    Flip down rear seats done!

    Nice pictures. My truck has a panel of insulation/noise proofing that seems to be missing from your pictures. Maybe that explains why I don't have nearly as much room. Still I'm happy. I can get the grocery bags, a rain jacket, and my Ice scrapper back there.

    Flip down rear seats done!

    I agree, and if I had kids riding regularly back there I probably wouldn't do it. I also removed the rear head rests, which I think would be an even greater safety hazard, but like I said, I hardly ever have anyone in the back seat. For me, the increased visibility out the back with the...

    Flip down rear seats done!

    I don't foresee anyone riding in my back seat, and even if there was someone back there, the seat is still firmly attached. The seat bottom has to be lifted about half way up before the latch releases. That's probably not going to happen if someone is sitting in the seat. Besides, they would...

    Flip down rear seats done!

    Well I got it done. Took about an hour. I thought that I should be able just to loosen the bolts holding the seat down and pry up the seat and wedge something under the track in order to release the seat, but that didn't work. I had to completely remove the bolts. I decided to saw off the...

    Looking for a better rear view mirror

    Hi, I just got a 2011 QC 1500 about a month ago. It has a very basic automatic rear view mirror. I'm finding that the visibility looking back in this truck is pretty bad compared to the 05 Dakota I used to have. It seems the rear view would be better if it was convex. That way I could see...

    Flip down rear seats done!

    So, I've had this 2011 1500 QC for about a month. I always thought it was strange the rear seat didn't tilt forward, and I didn't like the rear head rests because they really limit visibility. Just removed the headrests. Much better. Is the space behind the seats big enough to store the head...

    Missing plastic/rubber seal behind wheel well trim

    I'm not sure what it is without pulling one of the trims from the passenger side. It looks like a rubber seal, that might have some sort of adhesive. it looks like it is meant to keep water out, and to keep the trim from rattling. Maybe it comes with the trim pieces. The parts guy at the...

    Missing plastic/rubber seal behind wheel well trim

    Hi, I just noticed on my 2011 1500 QC that the chrome wheel well trim in the front and back on the drivers side is missing the rubber seal behind the chrome wheel well trim. Obviously someone had to pull the trim off at some point, and didn't bother replacing it. I would like to try to find...

    Is my dealer ripping me off?

    I hate that. So why are they recommending changing plugs ever 30K miles? I think a good platinum plug should go 100K. I also think you would see a drop in mileage and have trouble passing emissions if even one plug wasn't firing properly. As long as it's running good, why change them that...

    Tailgate is to tall to open when hauling my trailer

    I called customer support at Equalizer today, and they said the shank length didn't change the hitch rating. I tend to doubt that, just realizing the tonge wieght has just been moved back 6 inches. Luckily for me, the hitch is rated up to 10K and my trailer dry wieght is only 4600lbs. I have...
