    Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) fix needed

    Big difference between grounding and bonding. You need to bond your body to the driveline and the bed of the truck. Then you need to install common mode chokes at the antenna feedpoints as common mode is present on your mobile antennas due to the imbalance to the ground plane. Too much to...

    What do the experts think

    Those are fatigue cracks. My guess something not correct in the hardening and cracks started at machining marks which are a stress riser.

    Fuel ecenomy when towing?

    Its a light trailer so no issues at all. For specifics the living area is 24 1/2 feet. But if you measure from the tip of the hitch to the back of the bumper it's actually 28 ft 10 inches plus add a little extra length for the spare tires. It tow's very well I have no issues at all...

    Had my 2013 Ram 1500 SLT for 2 weeks and a problem Help.

    Use Techron or Regain for the injector cleaner, also fill with preimum as it has extra cleaners in it for the fill up. You should do a fuel cleaner with every oil change as that is a good reminder to do it.

    Made the switch today-

    51k list for the new truck and got 33k in trade value means $18k difference. A max care lifetime with 100 deductible is about $3k so the total is $21k. I will assume taxes and prep and other BS is 10% or $2.1k which equals $23.1K to finance. How did you loose $12k as you are saying you...

    service shifter message

    Get your battery and alternator checked out. Low voltage will cause this error. I get it when plowing and lifting the plow when I hit max pressure and voltage drops.

    911 Vehicle Phone - error

    It will come back and you will notice the 3G connection is failed and also if you have navigation no satellites and your clock will not keep time. Get it in while there is some warranty and have them pull the codes from the radio and send to FCA with a Star case. I will bet you will get a...

    I just got the truck back with the radio today after two days at the dealership. My concern with the Sirius subscription was a non event. However the GPS software that was purchased online was not installed in the new radio. Dealer tech did not realize it was not preflashed with this as an...

    big trailer towing stability

    No I did not upgrade the wheels. I did my research before I purchased the tires and looked up the pressure vs load rating. What I found was that at the mfg rated pressure of 40 psi I already had a higher load rating over the stock p tires. So day to day I run the recommended pressure and...

    I tow with a 1500 hemi and yes e rated tires make a YUGE difference. Its night and day with stiff sidewalls and some more air pressure. Anyway the OP needs a better hitch also. If you have bars with chains there is little sway control and the friction bars are crap. I have had a...

    911 Vehicle Phone - error

    Took it in and after sending the error logs to FCA the diagnosis is to replace the radio. Estimate is 2 plus weeks to get a new one. I will find out if the navigation I just purchased will transfer over and if Sirius will transfer my lifetime subscription to the new radio. So time...

    911 Vehicle Phone - error

    Mine is doing the 911 phone message, it's also not keeping time, and the worst is that I just dumped $500 plus tax on the GPS upgrade and it can not find satellites. I am going to call the Chrysler Nav phone number Monday and tell them that I am going to put the CC charge in dispute as I did...
