Why cant I get the Headlight to come out of 2013 Ram 1500 ?
I bought those 2 weeks ago when I sanded and buffed the fade oxidation from my headlights. While they did work fine, I had to use a file and take a little material off the underside of the retaining wings before they would snap in place. It was close. Took about 4 strokes on each tab with a... -

Have you scanned it for codes? -
Anyone had this issue before? how to fix it?
Did it work at all, before you replaced it? Usually they fail due to bad bearings, and still rotate, just slowly and loudly. If it was completely dead and not rotating before you replaced it, perhaps the blower motor wasn't the problem and now you own 2 good blower motors. Use a multimeter...- Ken226

My gas mileage is gone, what happened?
I got 14mph commuting to work with Atturo Trailblade 33 12.50 R20 mud terrain tires. When I switched to Goodyear DuraTrac 305/55R20 all terrain, that dropped to 12.5 mpg.- Ken226

Possible issue with solenoid and P0750 error code causing to go into limp mode.
I see than your truck is a 2011 with a 4.7. So, assuming it has a 545rfe transmission It's depends. It could be fair, considering the labor involved and depending on the parts used. A transmission filter kit with a shift solenoid will run you about 560.00 for a OEM Mopar kit...- Ken226

High mileage lucas?
Are you certain that the tick isn't an exhaust leak. Broken exhaust manifold bolts are very common. I've owned two of these trucks since 2010, and replaced the exhaust manifold studs in each, twice. 4 times total, and every single time, it sounded like a lifter ticking.- Ken226

Weird TPMS Issue Yesterday
Mine did something like that about a year ago. Front left showed weird pressure readings intermittently, then a week later it just quit working. I took it by Les Schwab tires and they said the battery died. Replaced it and I was on my way. My truck is a 2013, and the first sensor battery...- Ken226

Codes P0455, 0456 and 0457. Dealership wants to replace gas tank
So, can we have the name/location of the first dealership? I'd love to make absolutely certain that I never go anywhere near there. Well, unless I find a bag of extra money under a tree and just can't find anyone nearby willing to help me spend it.- Ken226

2017 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi died, trouble restarting and wont stay running
If you can check the compression on #8 before pulling the valve covers off it might give you some direction. This guy had similar codes, compression was low, and it ended up being a lifter failure/flattened cam on cylinder 8...- Ken226

6" lift kit installed - truck wanders
The caster seems a bit on the low side. If I remember correctly, stock should be 4.5°. Your close. 3.5° left and 4.0 right may not be causing you issue, but I've heard of guys with lifts going from 4.5° to as much as 5 or even a little higher. It would seem that the bigger the... -

Horrible steering rack Grind
Yea, spending a couple grand wasn't at the top of my bucket list either. I mostly did it out of a desire to no be walking to work. I spent the better part of 2 days scouring the internet for a remanufactured unit, but pretty much everything was "out of stock", nationwide. O'Reilly's and...- Ken226
