    P0456 typical line wear?

    On my 14 1500 hemi I have P0456 pop up. I installed a new OE gas cap, purge solenoid w/hose and a dorman ESIM leak detection pump. Comes back. Are there typical areas where the evap line rub and leak? I tried to chase down the same code in a wrangler once and there were places that it was...

    Brake fluid leak

    I have a '14 express with 74k. Well taken care of. Today the brakes were acting funny then the low brake fluid light came on. I noticed that fluid was dripping from the driver side A arm area which eventually drained the master. Its not the flex hose, its dry and intact, the leak is inboard of...

    Rustproofing

    My '14 is in good shape for its age but I want to perform some rust preventative work to ensure it lasts much longer. I just recently had the underside NH oil undercoated which I am sure is effective on the places it contacts, but they don't treat body panels. The primary areas I am concerned...

    Gas tank strap recall

    I have a 2014 with only 66k and live in New England. Yesterday going over a speed bump with a full tank the front strap disconnected. Other than some surface rust the strap looks OK but the T pulled out of the frame. I see the recall but haven't found a version for anything post 2012. My vin...

    Seat airbag harnesses?

    I have an issue with airbag lights and pretty sure it is something with the drivers harness. Mopar parts pages don't show a clear diagram for the wiring that goes from the thorax air bag to the floor. Anybody have better details on how to ID this part/harness??

    Any Air Bag system gurus here?

    I tweaked the male pins a few times to ensure interference with the females and still had issues so it must be the crimps. I wonder if I disassemble the connectors and tin the crimp with solder.... Hopefully Chryslers poor connector game is limited to just this junction.......

    Rear seat protector - waterproof pet

    Bringing my own thread back from the dead because it popped up when I searched. Still on the hunt for a fitted seat protector that fits like the one in the pic above (don't want a hammock style). I did pull the trigger on weathertech hoping it fit like the image. But no, it was too narrow...

    Any Air Bag system gurus here?

    A few days ago I drove 1.5 miles to the grocery store and it pinged at least half a dozen times on the way. While at the store I reached under and stuffed the connector in between the lock box I installed and carpet. It has been a few days and has yet to make a peep. So I agree, it has to be in...

    Any Air Bag system gurus here?

    I have a 65k 14 express QC. For a while I have been chasing an intermittent air bag system warning that is often first triggered by a bump in the road/pothole then chiming for so real reason periodically after that. I am not sure exactly where it started however I had to relocate the underseat...

    Service air bag warning repeatedly while driving

    2014 Ram Express. 60k miles. From time to time I get service airbag warnings that constantly appear and chime while driving, then it may just go away for a while. It doesn't seem to be tied to bumps like potholes or anything like that but I seem to remember it starting after I pulled the tilt...

    Debris collection areas

    Where do these trucks collect debris like pine needles and leaves etc.? I'd like to stay on top of cleaning these out to prevent damp rotting material from causing rust.

    Grab Handle Water Leak - 2014 Crew Cab - NO SUNROOF! NO CAB LIGHTS!

    I have a 14 express, no sunroof and no cab lights. Out of the blue I noticed a small wet spot on my pass floor mat. Yesterday driving in the rain I watched water drip out of the upper grab handle bolt hole. I have read something about a Dodge "star case" where they say the factory weld robots...

    Power seat upgrade

    I have a 2014 Express QC. I want to upgrade from the manual adjust seat to a power seat. All I really want is adjustable elevation so my wife can see better over the dash when she takes the wheel. Is the best solution to find a power drivers 40/20/40 seat and swap it in with my seat...

    NH Oil Undercoating

    Just saw this on Motortrend TV and a local shop gave a rough estimate of $250 to do my QC. It seems like it must work, just knowing how clean a leaky car can be underneath. They coat the underside, suspension, get in rockers and frame rails. Anybody ever have it done? My 2014 Ram has 60k...
