    ABS Light, Traction Control & no 4WD

    The fake 4wd system (if you have the BW 44-44 transfer case) won't work if any of the speed sensor (abs sensors) at the wheels are defective. All it take is a bad sensor, or wire and you'll be stuck in 2wd.

    Where is the best place to order the oil and filter for ZF 8HP70 Transmission

    I'm going service the transmission on my 2014 Ram 1500. Who has the best price on oil and the filter/pan assembly. I'm in Canada, but I'm willing to buy in the states, as I'll be making a trip south next week. Thanks! Carl

    Cruise Controll/Traction Controll

    In my case it's due to having to travel 600+ miles to my wellsite for work, and working for a company that has an over restrictive journey management policy that gps limits my speed to exactly the speed limit, and logs a violation anytime you exceed the speed limit. As long as you leave it in...

    Cruise Controll/Traction Controll

    Yeah, it's normal and one of the things I hate about my truck. I could understand if it shuts off if you have it enabled, and experience tire slippage. But it turns off the cruise control, even if you don't have it set. This forces you to have to turn the cruise back on and reset the speed...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Ha, do you think the type of people who drive around without their lights on, will notice the headlight light in the cluster?!?!

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    Add the high beam light to the list as well! These lights wouldn't annoy me if they were less bright, or dimmed significantly with the the rest of the gauges.

    Would You Buy RAM Again?

    Does the truck you're looking at have the auto setting on the 4wd buttons? If it does, I would definitely not buy that truck. The BW 44-44 transfer case used in these trucks is an "on demand" awd system. It doesn't actually engage the front axle until the rear tires slip, even in the 4wd Lock...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    If all the evidence on this site, isn't enough to convince you of the drawbacks of the BW 44-44 t-case, there isn't anything more I can do. Maybe someone who is trained with the skills required to teach special needs people with low intelligence may be able to help you, but I'm certainly not...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    Are you just trolling all of us on here, or do you seriously, do not understand the issue? I need a 4wd system that locks up as soon as I select 4wd lock, not after the rear tires slip, or do I need it to disengage when I let of the throttle. It doesn't matter if I select 4wd Lock before I...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    Thank you for demonstrating that there are still some people who are capable of independent thought and have rational and critical thinking skills. Many of the responses on this thread have me worried for society. If you think about it, there are a lot of similarity in this thread to what...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    Ok, this post makes it obvious you don't understand the issue we have with this transfercase. You dismiss the fact that the t-case needs to see slip before engaging the front axle as a drawback which isn't even real. Nothing can be further from the truth for anyone who uses their trucks in low...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    I just revisited this thread for the first time since last winter, and it depresses me, on how many people are perfectly content with this transfer case. I do laugh and find it hilarious, that even with the overwhelming evidence on here, there always seems to be a few morons that still...

    Do my MPGs seem normal or could there be something wrong?

    Your mileage doesn't seem out of spec for actual hand calculated mileage. Most people don't keep track of their mileage every tank, and usually just use the EVIC, which tells nothing but lies. Even if they do calculate it by hand, most only calculate for a tank or two. I keep track of my...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    There is nothing to assume, the on demand 4wd of the BW 44-44 is the worst type of 4wd for ice. A locked 4wd, or even awd with a center differential is far superior. With the limited slip that most of our trucks have, as soon as the rear tires slip, the back of the truck will start to...

    4x4 problem Ram 2013+ 8-speed 44-44 transfer case

    Sadly, other then the lack of low range, a lot of Subarus, have a far superior 4wd system then our Rams. I have a 2005 Subaru Legacy GT with a 5 speed. It has a true awd system, with a viscous limited slip center diff, along with a limited slip in the rear differential. With the studded...
