    What is this box called?

    Wow. That's definitely it. Thanks. Being unique to two years of the most uncommon engine kind of dashes my hopes of getting a junkyard part. I'll check pricing and availability. Might try the cheaper one if I get it with fairly hassle free returns. Thanks again!

    What is this box called?

    Thanks for the replies. Going to make it tougher to find in a junkyard if it's Ecodiesel specific. From my understanding, 1st Gen Ecodiesels either bit it by 50K or they're still on the road.

    What is this box called?

    I didn't. Took about three of them to figure it out, so it wasn't a direct correlation to any numbers stamped on the box. One guy called out about a 12 digit part number, but I didn't catch it. The guy in front of me said "I never would have found that!" I'll hold out for a junk part. Kind...

    What is this box called?

    Had occasion to stop by a dealership this morning so I inquired about it. Still don't know what it's called, but the plastic cover alone is $79, so I still don't have it. I imagine it's $2 at a u-pull.

    Backup camera stays on?

    OK. Kinda makes sense. Like you have to back in between two cars and sharp turn to get out? As long as the truck's OK with it, I'm OK with it. Thanks for the responses.

    Backup camera stays on?

    Hmm. Kind of corresponds with my battery replacement, so settings get cleared, but it's been without battery before and I don't think it's ever done it. Thanks for the pointer.

    Backup camera stays on?

    Seems like a weird one. 2015 Lone Star Ecodiesel. Lately, instead of the backup camera turning off when I shift to Drive, it waits for me to drive forward a bit. Maybe 30-40 feet. Anyone heard of this? It's not horrible, but it's weird, and I'm curious if it's a harbinger of problems to...

    What is this box called?

    Hi all. It's a long, thin relay/fuse box between the battery and firewall on my '15 Lone Star Ecodiesel. It's pretty obvious what it is and what it does. I need the official name so I can order a cover for it. Thanks for looking!

    Weird intermittent fast tire leak. Any thoughts?

    Looks like it may be a moot point. Another tire was down to 4 PSI today. Looks like the new tires are coming sooner than later. I'll be sure and alert the dealer to the original problem. I believe new stems come with new tires.

    Weird intermittent fast tire leak. Any thoughts?

    Crossposted on that aspect. That's the only theory that's come up, but didn't even know it was possible.

    Weird intermittent fast tire leak. Any thoughts?

    I've got my own automatic inflator. Historically when I've had any kind of leak, I've added air to drive safely to a service station (remember those?) or tire place, and they find the leak. Also, once it leaks X amount, it seems to stop. This weekend it leaked down on Thursday night, noted...

    Weird intermittent fast tire leak. Any thoughts?

    Not really specific to Ram, but I'm here, so... Every 2-3 weeks I have a tire that drops 10-15 lbs overnight. The first time I had such a drastic loss, I was about to go out of town so I went immediately to a tire store and they checked it. They said it was the TPMS monitor misreading, that...

    Tire/level options without affecting ride/noise?

    Thanks all for the responses! Sorry for coming back late. I thought my post was pulled. I guess it was moved. I just now found it again. I think I'm tempted to cheap out. I'd never SEEN my tires with full tread pattern and never had the original Goodyears - got the truck in July. Everything...

    Tire/level options without affecting ride/noise?

    Not really a "lifted" question, but this seems to be the defacto 4x4 tire & suspension forum. I drive about 50% highway, 45% city, and 5% mud/off road. I'm going to need new tires in the next 3K or so. There are Pathfinders on there now. I guess I've reached official "old man" status. I Love...

    Convert 2015 Ram logo tailgate to embossed letters?

    Sounds like it's more trouble than it's worth. If I had a more common color truck I might shop the junkyards, but I don't want to paint the whole mess. It would be nice if the tailgate recall got you the new tailgate of your choice, but I'm assuming that's not how that works. Speaking of which...

    hard folding cover

    They were in line with what I've been seeing at a truck accessory centers. they sent me a $50 coupon after I abandoned my cart. And free shipping. So $719 shipped for a 2015 black with no upgrades. Another thing is if you fold them all the way but don't remove them, they're inside the bed -...

    hard folding cover

    Anyone have a bed cover from Peragon? Aluminum, made in the USA - I'm intrigued. I also like the very much smaller panels than normal, and the ease of removal. https://www.peragon.com/

    Convert 2015 Ram logo tailgate to embossed letters?

    I searched for this and didn't find it - must be a problem with the terms I'm using because it almost has to be on here. I read "somewhere", not here, that if you take the Ram logo off a 2015, it leaves two holes, and if you put on the embossed letters, it doesn't cover them. Is that the case...

    Seeya, 3rd Gen Forum

    My dirty old 2008 only had 45,000 miles on it when I said goodbye yesterday. What a great truck it was - nothing fancy, but super solid. So I'll be in the 4thGen Forum from now on. I was swayed by the siren song of the EcoDiesel. Here's my 2015 Y'all take care!

    High Quality Dash Mat?

    Thanks for the input. I might hip up a brick and mortar store like Pep boys to see what they have before I replace it with another Ultimat. I've never anchored one before, but I'm going to do this one because I want to put an amateur radio faceplate on it. Does it mar the dash if you ever try...

    Any good power wires in A pillar or overhead?

    Hi all. I've decided I like having a dashcam so I'm ready to wire it up. the conventional thought is to go from the cigarette lighter, under the dash, up the A-Pillar and across to above the mirror, which all seems needless and wasteful. Are there any good, solid power wires in that area...

    High Quality Dash Mat?

    I always put dash mats in my trucks to protect the dash, maybe hide some cables, etc. I've gotten three in about 20 years. The first one was like carpet - seemed heavy - was still on the truck when I traded it for this Dodge. The second one was more suede-like, but seemed lighter. I like...

    Tell me about keys, please (2008)

    The worm turns! And it looks promising! I was in AutoZone yesterday. (Or was it Advanced? I can never remember which is which), and saw a sign saying "We make Transponder keys". I handed him mine and asked if he could make it. He looked everything up and came back with "Yes. For $80". Then...

    Tell me about keys, please (2008)

    Thanks for the input. I saw in the eBay listings that if you had two, you could DIY it. Unfortunately I just have the one. I'll probably get several, pay to have one done, and duplicate the others. I'll call a locksmith before I call the dealership.

    Tell me about keys, please (2008)

    I just have one key that came with my 2008. In addition to having a general spare, I'm always about half-convinced I'm about to lock it inside when I go to cool it down (black truck in GA). I think I have a handle on the basics after searching. I either have to get a key from a dealer, or get...
