    Check Engine Light

    Finally got around to replacing the flex hose with some stainless tubing. As much as I hate to jinx myself for posting this, but its been over 2 weeks without a CEL. Fingers crossed that its fixed.

    Leaky brakes, or bad axle seal?

    Is this a bad axle seal or a leaky brake caliper. Im thinking axle seal, but wanted to get a second opinion.

    6.4 Hemi Overheated

    Finally got around to this, and using the Alpha OBD program I was able to diagnose my fan was in fact bad. Since I had already ordered the mechanical fan clutch before I realized there was an electric fan, I opted to go ahead and replace it too rather than return it. Everything was incredibly...

    6.4 Hemi Overheated

    This may be a stupid question, but does the 6.4 have an electric fan under the machanical fan shroud? It doesnt make much sense to me that it would, but I was watching a couple of videos on changing the fan clutch (to make sure there werent any hidden boogers to work around I wasnt aware of) and...

    6.4 Hemi Overheated

    Was sitting in the trailer line waiting to unload at our local fair and I noticed the A/C wasn't cooling as well as it should. I figured it was because we were idling in a parking lot in 96 degree heat, so I turned on the recirculate and kept doing what I was doing. A few minutes later it...

    A/C not as cool at idle

    Anyone else’s truck blow cool, but not cold when idling? Mine is nice and cold when driving, but it seems to struggle at idle. Just wondering if it’s normal or if there’s a problem starting to form. Honestly I cant remember if it did this last year or not, but this 107 degree heat got me sweating.

    Who all uses their trucks like a truck!? Let’s see pics!

    I use mine more like a farm implement. Just a sample of what she does, and what she hauls around. The bed also has a hydraulic hay spear setup built into it, so she's hauled quite a bit of round hay too.

    Fuel Mileage

    My 2015 has 4.88 gears, 35" tires, and has a total weight in excess of 10K lbs, and she got like 6-9 mpg with my 1 mile commute over the last 3 years. Recently moved and have a 25 mile commute, and Im back to getting 13 or so. Just got back from a 525 mile road trip and I was impressed that with...

    2015 Ram 1500 No Start

    Mine did that tonight. Found a YouTube video of a guy that took the switch module apart and cleaned it, but it was late, hot, and I didn’t want to disassemble my dash, so in a fit of frustration, I shot some compressed air into the key switch hole, and it fired right up.

    66RFE Lifespan

    Just finished changing the fluid and replacing the thermostat with the bypass. Took a little longer than I expected, but I was working a lot slower than the guys on YouTube, trying to not make a huge mess. Overall I was pretty surprised at the condition of the fluid. It was still bright red and...

    Check Engine Light

    Had a shop do the smoke test and they noticed a very faint whiff of smoke from the charcoal cannister. They replaced the canister, but the light keeps coming back. I the problem started after putting the new bed on and relocating the filler, but I really dont know how long after. Starting to...

    Check Engine Light

    Yes, once. Replaced the pump near the charcoal canister, and the valve on the engine. Bought another set to see if that helps. Not sure why they would fail twice, but Im tired of looking at that stupid light.

    Check Engine Light

    I keep getting a CEL and a “very small leak” evap code (I don’t remember the exact number code). I have replaced everything that is normally the culprit of this code, and even had the thing smoke tested, but cant keep the code from going away. I had a thought recently and wanted to bounce it...
