2015 ram 2500 5.7 broken exhaust manifold bolts
I have 45K on the studs now. The manifolds rarely warp to the point they won't seal. Simple way to remove the broken studs is to weld a nut on the broken stud and turn it out. The head is aluminum so the chances of building enough heat to mess it up before getting the nut attached are minimal (I...- FCA Master

disable auto park, can it be done
Just FYI, the parking brake circuit is a simple off/on switch to ground...a toggle switch that can open the circuit (parking brake engaged) would keep autopark from functioning.- FCA Master

The auto park feature is a combination of software upgrades in 4 modules, negating one WILL affect this feature.- FCA Master

P0441 Error on my 2016 Ram 1500
The vapor canister is on the side of the fuel tank on these trucks. You may want to take a look at the ESIM switch on a scanner to see if it is switching from open to closed as vacuum builds in the tank. The switch in the ESIM is know to get stuck.- FCA Master

2015 ram 2500 5.7 broken exhaust manifold bolts
Very typical on the Hemi, but also an easy fix. I removed the stock studs and replaced them with ARP studs and have had no problems.- FCA Master

8 speed transmission problem
Try to have someone else actuate the key while you listen under the hood. The electronic throttle body does a self cleaning actuation and test at key on that will produce an audible thunk that gets louder the more dirty the throttle body gets. Just a thought.- FCA Master

Auto Park When Door is Opened
Since this was launched as a recall I do not believe it is voluntary. This feature doesn't bother me, but if it did I would just plug a dummy buckle into the seat belt receiver. The auto park feature needs to see the door open, brake not applied, and seat belt unbuckled.- FCA Master

Auto Park When Door is Opened
Recall U05 will update the software in the PCM, TCM, RFH, and IPC to add this feature. If you have the last 8 digits of your VIN I can check to see if your truck is part of the recall.- FCA Master

Are some recent years of Cummins better than others
The problem isn't removing and replacing the components, it's the huge fines associated with removing them if you get caught.- FCA Master

2006 Ram 545rfe issues
Drop the pan, put an OEM solenoid pack on, and recheck your filters. The converter filter has plastic threads and can easily be messed up. The sump filter seal must be replaced and installed properly or the pump will suck air. hope this helps.- FCA Master

The 5.9 would be my first choice. With that said, the 2014 and up is much better about ball joints than previous models. If I was looking to buy/build a truck for your purposes any late model 6.7 with an AS69RC would work...right after I deleted the after treatment system. The 68RFE can be made...- FCA Master

Service manual?
You may want to look into AMP engineering. They make a nice kit that plugs into the DLC to control electric running boards and lights.- FCA Master

Please help, no one ( Ram dealer) seems to know whats going on...
I find that the EGR cooler being plugged is usually the problem, however, any plugged portion of the EGR system, or a leak in the CAC will cause this code. Make sure that when your dealer is doing the EGR system clean that they are doing the WHOLE job including the bypass valve and the intake...- FCA Master
