    2015 ram 2500 5.7 broken exhaust manifold bolts

    I have 45K on the studs now. The manifolds rarely warp to the point they won't seal. Simple way to remove the broken studs is to weld a nut on the broken stud and turn it out. The head is aluminum so the chances of building enough heat to mess it up before getting the nut attached are minimal (I...

    disable auto park, can it be done

    Just FYI, the parking brake circuit is a simple off/on switch to ground...a toggle switch that can open the circuit (parking brake engaged) would keep autopark from functioning.

    disable auto park, can it be done

    The auto park feature is a combination of software upgrades in 4 modules, negating one WILL affect this feature.

    P0441 Error on my 2016 Ram 1500

    The vapor canister is on the side of the fuel tank on these trucks. You may want to take a look at the ESIM switch on a scanner to see if it is switching from open to closed as vacuum builds in the tank. The switch in the ESIM is know to get stuck.

    2015 ram 2500 5.7 broken exhaust manifold bolts

    Very typical on the Hemi, but also an easy fix. I removed the stock studs and replaced them with ARP studs and have had no problems.

    8 speed transmission problem

    Try to have someone else actuate the key while you listen under the hood. The electronic throttle body does a self cleaning actuation and test at key on that will produce an audible thunk that gets louder the more dirty the throttle body gets. Just a thought.

    Auto Park When Door is Opened

    Since this was launched as a recall I do not believe it is voluntary. This feature doesn't bother me, but if it did I would just plug a dummy buckle into the seat belt receiver. The auto park feature needs to see the door open, brake not applied, and seat belt unbuckled.

    Auto Park When Door is Opened

    Recall U05 will update the software in the PCM, TCM, RFH, and IPC to add this feature. If you have the last 8 digits of your VIN I can check to see if your truck is part of the recall.

    RAM 1500 5.7L 2WD 3.21 versus RAM 1500 3.6L 2WD 3.55 MPG

    My Ram with the 5.7L Hemi and MDS is pretty consistent around 17 City and 22 highway.

    Are some recent years of Cummins better than others

    The problem isn't removing and replacing the components, it's the huge fines associated with removing them if you get caught.

    2006 Ram 545rfe issues

    Drop the pan, put an OEM solenoid pack on, and recheck your filters. The converter filter has plastic threads and can easily be messed up. The sump filter seal must be replaced and installed properly or the pump will suck air. hope this helps.

    Are some recent years of Cummins better than others

    The 5.9 would be my first choice. With that said, the 2014 and up is much better about ball joints than previous models. If I was looking to buy/build a truck for your purposes any late model 6.7 with an AS69RC would work...right after I deleted the after treatment system. The 68RFE can be made...

    Service manual?

    You may want to look into AMP engineering. They make a nice kit that plugs into the DLC to control electric running boards and lights.

    Large Recall for Cruise Control

    I would suggest you find a new dealer. I have those recall parts in stock.

    Please help, no one ( Ram dealer) seems to know whats going on...

    I find that the EGR cooler being plugged is usually the problem, however, any plugged portion of the EGR system, or a leak in the CAC will cause this code. Make sure that when your dealer is doing the EGR system clean that they are doing the WHOLE job including the bypass valve and the intake...

    Please don't hurt me

    Cummins swap, 8 inch lift, cut the fenders and weld in new flares, 40 inch tires... sorry that's my list.

    Aisin over the 68RFE Transsmision

    The 66RFE is used behind the Hemi and is a robust transmission. Once again, if you want to put a bunch of HP through some upgrades are needed. I do not see a lot of failures with these units except for the OD clutch issues when hauling heavy loads and not using tow haul. Please keep in mind...

    Unable to pull trailer up hill?

    Definitely not normal. However, I need a little more info. Was the truck warm? Did it move at all? Was tow/haul on? Keep in mind that the LR clutch is only applied until 150 RPM tailshaft speed (approx. 8 MPH) and then the sprag clutch takes over. The sprag is weak and has a plastic cage...

    Ambient temp sensor

    The ambient temp sensor needs to see run time and compass changes when first starting out to be accurate.

    Yes sir. I just didn't want you to think you were starting your warranty over. Thanks for clarifying.

    A new engine does not start your powertrain warranty over. You may want to check on that.

    Gear Swap

    Unless you are familiar with using pinion depth tools do not attempt this on your own. The overall job isn't overly difficult but pretty technical. I would try to find a pro that is willing to let you watch and ask questions for your virgin differential gear swap.

    rattling/banging after sitting unused for weeks

    The severe angle of the push rods is part of the issue as they are almost horizontal. This is the same reason the Hemi doesn't like prolonged idling. I have replaced many cams for lobe wear on police vehicles with high idle time. There have been several good suggestions as far as oil goes, and...
