    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    That's interesting, I never ran into a vehicle that has gotten closed and open loop mixed up. I also stopped being a mechanic years ago so my knowledge is limited. When I was a mechanic, we had a few cars that we could not fix a miss and had to send them to the dealer. OP needs to keep us...

    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    I can not speak to injector open circuit. I have never ran into that before, but... upon initial start up the computer does not use the O2 sensor. Upstream sensors are the only one use to affect air/fuel. Downstream are only there to see if the catalytic converters are working. It is my...

    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    That makes more sense. I have seen people do that. I guess I should have questioned it. I wouldn't worry about the injector. It won't hurt to do it. I have never seen a daily driver car need an injector. I'm sure it happens but it's rare. What you are describing is running rich and isn't a...

    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    The way I would do it it take one out and see what the factory uses and buy the same thing. If I had to guess they are either platinum or iridium made by ngk or champion. Mopar may have its own branded plugs but the partnumber will cross over to another brand. Don't forget hemis have 2 plugs per...

    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    If you can afford it, replace all the plugs. If i remember correctly the stock ones are only made to last 100,000 miles. You are in major need of new plugs, even if the computer doesn't detect a missfire you will be surprised. If you want just replace the ones that are misfiring at this time...

    PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.

    You said a month ago it started having a rough idle and smells rich. My was your first thought to check the spark plug. When were they last replaced? When they were replaced what type were they? Copper, platinum, iridium will determine how long the new plug are ment to last. Bad idle can cause...

    2016 laramie power wagon

    When it comes to car modifications, the best advice I can give is "buy once, cry once". I have no personal experience installing a rough country lifts but I am told the none of the shops in my town will install rough country lifts. I was a mechanic for 5 years and I have seen what happens long...

    Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon

    They have turned into grocery getters because they don't rate them to tow or haul much. What good is a truck that can only carry 4 adults and 800 pounds in the bed? The original power wagon was a work horse of a truck for ww2 and the farm. Now it's all play and almost no work. I still think they...

    Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon

    Only level 3 pw get a center console, all others are bench. Moon roof is an option, one I very specifically didn't get because I would never open it. Level 1 pw is not letter seats, it's party leather like and cloth in the middle. Tradesmen can get heated seats.

    Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon

    I see almost zero reason to get the tradesmen because of house close in price it is to the non tradesmen version. If you are going to be in the truck for long periods and or daily it, you will be more happy with the soft touch material in the higher end truck. It's nice not leaning your elbow on...

    New 2023 Ram 2500 rebel

    TLDR: Ram 2500 with an appearance package (from the 1500 trucks) and a rear electric locker. The base price starts in the $60,000 range so no base models. What do you think? Personally I have been hoping for this announcement and I am disappointed. This is 98% and appearance package and 2% a...

    Front passenger legroom

    I watched and read every review I could find on the 19+ ram 2500. None of those reviews ever mentioned the legroom its astonishing. I special ordered my power wagon because that is the only truck I ever wanted. The leg room is definitely a factor for why I will be getting rid of my truck. The...

    Factory side steps - yay or nay?

    I agree. I don't plan to do anything crazy where I would need rock sliders but the quality an reliability is hard to beat. When I have the spare cash, I will be getting some cust ordered with bigger spots to double as step. I have put on factory steps on rams before. They aren't bad but all...

    Air bags to increase pay load

    If by "put a camper on" you mean one of those slide in campers, the power wagon comes with specific instructions not to. It can be done, I saw one in town yesterday didn't lean or sway around turns. If you mean a topper thing to enclose the bed then ignore that. Legally speaking, air bags can...

    Is Olive Green power wagon still available?

    I would bet that it's a lie. Last year when ordering mine, a dealer told me ram boxes were no longer available and the anniversary package wasn't being made yet while on the forums I saw people taking delivery
