    Bluetooth radio available

    Does anyone have, or know of a non $$$$$$$$$$$$ source of a Bluetooth radio/CD player for a 2009 Ram 2500. I dislike not being able to do hands-free phone conversations.

    Stainless tailpipe? ('11 Cummins 6.7)

    Noted today that the tailpipe has holes in it. The rest of the system seems solid and intact. Any suggestion on where to get a stainless tailpipe (only)?

    4.7 coolant change

    It's surprising that this rather simple question has not received a simple answer. Start the truck, let it warm with the heater turned to maximum and then open the bleeder on the right side of the engine next to the EGR. Air will come out and then coolant. (Photo of 6.7L Cummins.) Questionable...

    About Antifreeze/Coolant

    Appropriate topic. I will be changing the turbo on my '11 2500 Cummins, only 58,000 miles. Since antifreeze will come out should I change it or reuse it?

    Intermittent no power, check engine light 2011 2500

    OK, it's clear I am going to need to figure this out eventually. I have my own amateur race and restoration shop, so I am not without skills, but I have never dealt with a diesel engine. I have trued looking at an electronic service manual, but navigating it seemed a nightmare. Haynes? Chiltons?

    BTW, the truck has only 50K on it.

    2011 2500 Cummins Troble Codes: O2 sensor, Turbo boost, exhaust pressure

    I just posted another similar question to the one you answered. Please take a look again. While I maintain my own race cars, this diesel is foreign to me. I would not know what the actuator looks like or where it's located. Same goes for the back pressure sensor. Can you recommend a manual? The...

    Intermittent no power, check engine light 2011 2500

    For a year I have had an occasional, intermittent issue upon start up. The engine runs slightly rough at initial idle, and will not rev above about 1300 rpm. And then the check engine light comes on. Often I can shut the engine off and restart it and the issue is gone, but the check engine light...

    Caliper (front) bolt torque spec, 2011 2500

    Dilligaf, I have seen this. None seems to address the 2011. Even downloaded the manuals and still find conflicting information.

    Torque specs for front caliper adapter on 2500

    Lost one of the 18 mm front caliper flange bolts. Got one from Ram dealer and asked what torque spec was. Reply was 163 ft. pounds, but from looking over posts from other years it appears it should be 270-275 (wow!). Can someone confirm what torque should be? I looked at the 2012 service manual...

    2011 2500 Cummins Troble Codes: O2 sensor, Turbo boost, exhaust pressure

    Thank you very much. I will inform the dealer I know of this. Off hand, do you know if this is covered by the emissions warranty on a truck with only 53,000 miles? Any idea about the other two codes?

    2011 2500 Cummins Troble Codes: O2 sensor, Turbo boost, exhaust pressure

    My 2011 Cummins 2500 (53,000 miles) will, on occasion, run really rough when started and refuse to rev. I can get this to go away by shutting it off and restarting it. The photo shows the trouble codes. Can someone tell me what Bank 1, Sensor 2 means or where that would be located? is it likely...
