    Hanging air dam

    I do not know when and how it happened, but the passenger side of the front bumper air dam is hanging. . It is split from the angle piece where the snap nut go to hold it in place. I used plastic ties and bore two holes to hold it in place. It is not too bad just not pretty. Question: If...

    My 2016 Ram still has the factory sensors...92K mile and many tire changes.

    Thermostat housing replacement

    Smart cookie. Follow you gut feeling. If unsure, ask. If you still unsure, take it to your trusted mechanic. This will save time and worry. The work will be done correctly, IMHO

    Dealer said No for transmission fluid change.

    I'm in Belize and the local Ram dealership is not the greatest, sorry to say. I changed out the pan/filter unit at my trusted mechanic shop about 2 years ago, 79k miles. I know it was early but the driving in Belize is taxing on vehicles. It was my first fluid change. I had not idea about...

    Electric Radiator Fan Spin Effortlessly

    I had to drive to Belize City and back to Cayo. It is a total of 130 mile round trip. The Tstat fluctuated between 192 and 197. I am happy.

    Rad is not getting hot. Stay within 193 to 197 when driving after installing 195 stat. Most driving is 45 mph average.

    Electric Radiator Fan Spin Effortlessly

    I checked the Ram to see if there was an electric fan. No electric fan, just the motor fan. I look in front and rear of radiator, no fan attached. Would it be best to have one installed. I've had the Ram since 2017 and never donned about an electric fan.

    WildOne and Indept, thank you. I will check it out and go from there. I was given the wrong info about the motor fan. It is okay.

    Electric Radiator Fan Spin Effortlessly

    Had to replace the Tstat on my 2016 Ram Hemi. When I had the radiator replaced, I forgot about the Tstat. So, in just a few short weeks the Hemi is heating up over 240. Put in a new 195 Tstat, burped it, and tested it out for performance. All is well I thought until I was told the electric...

    E88 gasoline also known as E15, at 70 cents less per gal

    Since living in Belize and having my 2016 RAM Hemi with me for six years, each time I fill up it is with regular gas...88 octane. Performance seems to be good. You can purchase either 88 or 91 octane gas in Belize, so I choose the 88 regular. As for price difference between the two, it is...

    I have just bought a 2013 5.7 and for some reason when filling the tank the filler will only stay on for a short time before I hear the fuel come up

    I had a similar problem 2 year ago. I replaced the evaporator purge valve and a second valve near the purge valve. The problem went away.

    Coolant flush question

    Who sells RMI 25? Amazon sell it in a 4 quart package for $75. O'Reily's website does not have it. Autozone, also does not have it. All I need is a quart.

    ZF Transmission question - temps

    I am ordering one. Seems to be a good feature to combat the heat in Belize.
