    Transmission issue 2014 Ram 1500 5.7

    Any codes for the motor even if none for the TCM? Possible throttle position sensor issue?

    Cam choice for MDS delete

    I went with a Mopar OEM cam for a 2500 5.7 with VVT and non MDS. A cam for a 2500 series 5.7 does not have the dual profile cam lobes so it's a little less in HP. The 2500 shows a little less HP but the torque curve is a little lower in the RMP range. Who makes the OEM lifters? I think Mellings...

    Oil Change frequency

    If you get the carb and choke pull off set right, 5000 ml oil changes will be a thing of the past. lol. Modern fuel injected motors no longer have massive amounts of raw fuel dumped into the cylinders every cold start so no need to change the oil like it's a 40 year old powertrain. Look at the...

    $2200 transmission service?

    Just curious, did the dealer recommend the ZF fluid service or did you ask for it? Have you referred to the trucks service schedule?

    Engine stall no cel

    You have a 6 speed or 8 speed? You are not the only one that has experienced an engine stall with no CEL. There are numerous threads on here about engines stalling while stopping, but it seems no one has the reason why. It happened to me twice this week, although it usually happens once every...

    Now I May Need a Second FOB

    Thanks. Looks like amazon has one that will work. I'll see if we have a local locksmith that can program it. Paid one local locksmith a few years ago to program a ford fob and they failed, never went back to them.

    Now I May Need a Second FOB

    Sitting in the house tonight wondering who in the world has an alarm randomly going off. It's loud and close, almost sounds like my truck. Finally I look out the window and see my truck's lights flashing. WTH. I look for the fob on the counter where I always put it but it's not there. I start...

    Running Board Replacement Pad

    That's for the replies. The $32 pad is the short one. I will be calling an online Mopar dealer Monday.

    Running Board Replacement Pad

    Thanks, but they have the whole running board for $300 each. Looks like no one sells just the pad.

    Running Board Replacement Pad

    I have a Laramie crew cab with OEM RAM, chrome, one piece 7' running boards. The black plastic non-slip insert along the top that protects the chrome has cracked and I want to replace it. I have looked at a Ram parts website for the replacement part with my vin. Their website only shows two...

    Engine just shut down

    Looks like you have 2013 5.7. I have had the issue with the transmission going into neutral when quickly stopping and not realizing it when immediately stepping back on the gas. Sounds like you have had a problem before with random engine shut down or stalling when nearly stopping or stopping...

    Auto-Park recal

    I got my "auto park" update letter today. Three letters in four days from FCA. One of the other letters was just advising a 12 year extended warranty on the fuel tank straps against rust through and the other letter (U53) was for an "Occupant Restraint Control Module". That letter also mentions...

    Led Turn Signal Lens on Power Mirror

    Today I noticed the turn signal lens had fallen off the bottom of the right side mirror. It looks like I have to buy the whole turn signal housing. Anyone here have experience replacing the turn signal assembly? I looked it over today and not much of a way to pull the old lens out and get the...

    Oil change per sticker or dashboard oil life indicator

    As long as your choke is set correctly, you may be able to extend your oil change to 3500 miles instead of the old 3000 mile recommended change interval. Oh wait, carburetors and chokes went away a few years ago. Today's engines do not put as much fuel into the crankcase as they did many...

    Dashboard goes out and then back on

    Are you talking about the dash lights or all of the gauges?

    disable auto park, can it be done

    My 2013 with 8 speed will also back up with the door open. I tried it just to see what people were talking about. May be a software change with newer models. I have watched two people on different occasions wrap their doors around to the front fender when backing up and caught a post. I couldn't...

    Anyone had Ur Truck go into neutral when shifter is in Drive?

    YEP, I've got a truck that is doing the same thing. It is random and cannot be duplicated for the dealer. The issue leaves no codes for the dealer to look at. It is usually not a big problem, but sometimes it can get you into a bad situation when it happens and you really need to move. It only...

    8.4 radio screen freezing on startup

    There is an update available from the Uconnect website for this truck, according to the vin. I updated the radio over the air a few months back and the software that is currently installed is 17.43.01. The new software is a Nov 2017 update and that software update will bring the system up to...

    2014 ram 5.7 spark plug replacement

    I have a 2013 with the 8 speed (late 2013 build) and it had copper plugs. I replaced them at 75,000 miles with iridium NGK's and have not seen any issues or check engine lights. Seems to me that the iridium plugs would be easier to fire than copper plugs so the coils packs should be sufficient...

    8.4 radio screen freezing on startup

    2013 1500 with 8.4 Uconnect radio. I performed the radio software update a few months ago. The message that an update was needed kept popping up so I allowed the update. It took about 45 minutes. Since then I have had an issue with the radio screen freezing on the startup screen when the...

    Thanks for the info. That rear axle ratio really cuts down on my tow capacity.

    8 speed transmission problem

    You should have the original 5 year, 100,000 mile OEM powertrain warranty. Sounds like you need a valve body or something maybe more expensive.

    Might seem like a crazy question, but was it raining or were the roads wet?

    Intermittent Problem With Rotary Shifter

    Although this is a 2014 thread, there are a few current posts similar to this issue. The dealer and factory have never heard of such an issue and it appears to be an issue that has been around since 2014.
