    What do the experts think

    Had my 2013 Ram 1500 SLT for 2 weeks and a problem Help.

    Use Techron or Regain for the injector cleaner, also fill with preimum as it has extra cleaners in it for the fill up. You should do a fuel cleaner with every oil change as that is a good reminder to do it.

    Made the switch today-

    51k list for the new truck and got 33k in trade value means $18k difference. A max care lifetime with 100 deductible is about $3k so the total is $21k. I will assume taxes and prep and other BS is 10% or $2.1k which equals $23.1K to finance. How did you loose $12k as you are saying you...

    service shifter message

    Get your battery and alternator checked out. Low voltage will cause this error. I get it when plowing and lifting the plow when I hit max pressure and voltage drops.
