    AC shuts off when idling in traffic

    My 17 Ram had the same issue. No bad relay or fuses, but warmer air at idle. After my water pump seal started leaking, I changed the water pump, thermostat, fan and fan clutch, and the belt… Ac has been fine ever since. I’m convinced, changing the fan clutch was my solution for the Ac issue.

    Dealer recommends engine replacement for @63k miles

    Back in mid 2021, the dealership diagnosis of the ticking noise in my ‘17, determined my then 44K engine had “piston slap” they replaced the engine on their dime.

    Audio/ speaker upgrades

    Hello. I came across your post while looking for speaker info. I'm considering buying the Pioneer TS-g690's for my front and rear doors, but had a couple questions... Now that you've had some run-time with them, how do you like them? And, did you need to buy any adapters for the wiring, or were...

    Flowmaster flow fx vs magnaflow

    I installed the flowmaster 717900 about 2 years ago on my ‘17 Laramie. I rarely use the cut-out anymore, but in the closed position, it sounds great! Easy install in the driveway.

    Engine tick question

    I had this. My dealer called it piston slap. Because I was still within my warranty, I got a new engine.

    Found a use for the tailgate "cup holder"

    I used Liquid Nails instead of the wife’s hot glue gun. But the magnets do come in handy, keeps my hardware and wood screws in place when building wooden targets to shoot at

    50k miles - what’s worth it to do?

    Echoing the check of all suspension components, I’ll also recommend a wheel alignment. I have a 17 that just hit 50K recently and took her in for new tires and once it was on the rack, the toe alignment was clearly off. Had no pull or wobble, but it needed adjustment.

    Broken manifold bolts replaced...again.

    New engine is performing perfectly. I made the trek across the US, from San Diego CA to Jacksonville FL, towing my 30’ travel trailer, with zero issues. Put just over 3,000 “break-in” miles on the new motor and rewarded her with an oil and filter change afterwards. The folks at Pedder Ram...

    Broken manifold bolts replaced...again.

    In my case, the tick was solved by the dealership, ordering and installing a brand new motor. Once diagnosed, there was a condition they called ‘piston slap’ and since I’m still under warranty… they replaced my motor on their dime. Once my 3 year, 100,000 new parts warranty expires, I will fix...
