Had a scare from hell today. I jumped into the truck to get blood drawn and it would not start. Got service electronic braking system. And the best part, It wouldn't even turn over. Tried to hook up my OBD readers and nothing would work. Looked into taking the negs off the batteries, but would need a terminal puller. Time to call Dodge for a tow. What a cluster that was. So figure out would check fuses while the tow guy was on his way. Then I noticed that some of the fuses were poking up a bit. So I started pushing down some of the fuses and realised that every single one was not seated right. This will go to explain why I had intermittent problems with the radio and the cruise control. After pushing them all in, the truck started right up. After did some research online there has been about 5 more instances that other people have found the same thing. I know that living out in the country in the dirt road scrub board shake alot crap, I find it less likely the shaking would cause for all the fuses to be popped out a bit. They were not all evenly so I don't know. But two of guys that had the same issues so they never went off road or lived out in the country. Good news is it's all fixed, bad news is it looks like my tablet that I was trying to use to get the codes died. So now time to play with that

The only things that did give in to a push were the black c/b on the left in the pic and and any of the others. The other non-blade fuses also had play in them. So now everything is tight. In a month or so I will check again and see if any rattle their way up. With EVERY fuse needing to get pushed in, I think that the assembler just went fast and did it half-assed.

You can see some of the fuses up, this pic was taken when I was in the process of pushing them down. I almost forgot "no pics, then it didn't happen" [emoji14]

I had no symptoms but while I was fiddling with the fuse/relay center on my wife's 14 journey, I found all the fuses to be raised as well. So I looked at the 15 journey we just bought, same thing. Guess I'll have to go check the truck as well because twice now my radio has just been blank at startup since I've owned the truck.

At first I thought my radio problem was the thumbdrive that I have in there and the bumping around that the dirt roads do. Now I wonder if they were pushed in al the way and the scrubboard roads "helped" them to pop up even further. I gonna give it 3 months and check again, unless I get an issue of course.

Installed a Fastlogic CH10 remote start kit. We don't have a lot of cold weather here in Texas but when we do my old bones appreciate being able to get into a nice warm truck. This was a very easy mod for a total of $161.00

Getting into a warm truck when it’s cold is nice. Too bad the hemi doesn’t do well with lots of idling. I’ve heard that idling increases the chance of lifter failure in the hemies.

As seen in the synthetic oil thread?

Bought underhood light kit, found out there is no FEMALE plug on my truck . Installed Trailer Brake - less than $250 total.. minus some serious scratches on my hand, reaching to get the screws into their holes. Slowly swapping out my Incadescent Lights for LED bulbs. Installed footwell lights and bought some Rockford speakers..

 

[Socalramfan]

Installed a 50" LED Light Bar. Bounced back and forth between a straight Led Light Bar, or (4-5) round lights mounted on the headrack bar.

What's your thoughts?

Keep the bar? or go round?

lol. I wish I lived in an area that didn’t require sand or salt. When going to work I transition from salt territory to sand territory and I find the sand
Gets into everything and everywhere. In the spring I like to jam my pressure washer into
The holes on the frame and watch the crap come out. Also the back bumpers acts like a scoop. In the spring there is a ton of sand in there I rinse out.

I feel the same way brother. My truck was just washed and clean. I was coming home from a nightshift and the roads were bone dry except that the salt brine truck had just come by to spray them (god knows why) and by the time I got home I had that salty white film all over the truck. **** me right off.

Traded for a 2016 ecodiesel Laramie with only 53K miles. Same color, same 44-44 TC (oh well) and same options. 3.55 rear diff and hopefully 10-15 more mpg. I spend a lot of time on the freeway running 75-80 mph. One observed advantage is the transmission pan is not obstructed with exhaust pipe . Hopefully there will be no regrets.
