    Satellite Radio Stuck on Channels Unavailable

    Hi guys, Edit - fixed but want to share if others see it. While in a car wash I set the radio to FM. While driving out I tried going back to SXM (8.4 inch Uconnect). Now I only see "Channels Unavailable". If I switch back to AM or FM everything is fine. This only happens when going back...

    Turbo diesel?

    ^ This. Try driving a non-turbo diesel - you'll hate it.

    New Ram owner, can't believe how bad it is in the snow.

    No 3.5 ton vehicle is going to quickly stop in the snow.

    DEF in cold weather

    I live in Colorado Springs and I've had my ED for 16 months (and two winters now) with no issues. Our winters are mostly below freezing at night, with the rare occasion of below zero. Haven't had any DEF issue with the cold. I did have a hard start one morning when the wind chill was -30...

    Turbo no 2 is *****

    Buddy's turbo/JB just went out as well at 120k miles. It was ~$4k for a small shop to fix it. You can't get individual parts, have to buy the whole assembly. Worst - the dealer told him since the truck was over 10 years old and they're slammed, they wouldn't work on his truck (hence the small...

    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    I got stuck in a serious blizzard a year ago with mine. It was so bad they closed the highway right in front of me. I had a choice of trying to sleep overnight, in the truck, in a blizzard, or go around thru some rural routes. I chose the latter. The rural routes were mud, slush and ice...

    Theft is on the rise

    Not necessarily. There is one kit that has an air bladder. Once slipped in between the window and doorframe it gets inflated, leaving you room to reach in with your hand or a tool and unlock the door. For accessing the ODB port and programming a blank key (one example)...

    Theft is on the rise

    ^This. That method can take as little as 5 mins.

    What is this called and is it safe to drive back to the dealership?

    Holy crap what a miss. My philosophy is always, "If they forgot one thing, they forgot two." Like mentioned, keep an eye on things and check underneath occasionally for something (else) loose or missing.

    Capacitive Discharge on a Ram

    A capacitor is a small, passive electronic device which holds a small charge (like a very tiny battery), then releases that charge when it hits a specified level. Your stereo will have several, and I'm sure at least a hundred can be found in a modern vehicle. Also, with vehicles running on...

    Renewable Diesel Fuel

    Sounds very promising. I'd switch in a second if it was available to me locally.

    So I bought 3 Rebels . . .

    True, but the Datyona and Superbird were more than sticker packages.

    My Friends Sometimes....

    Still, if that truck can't handle that trailer, what the heck would?

    Ram recalls and terrible customer service

    Ugh, what a nightmare. I'm waiting on 2 minor recalls that there are no parts for. Crap, even getting an oil change requires 2-4 weeks notice at my nearest dealer.
