Spark Plug Shenanigans
Well too late for that, it's all back together again. I briefly looked for that info but gave up pretty quick. Just went for a test drive, feels much better.- local

Spark Plug Shenanigans
Done with the driver's side. Found evidence of previous work including broken connectors on the coil packs. I'm going with someone didn't do research or cheaped out on a previous replacement. Also found the old plugs were gapped around .037. Of the old plugs? Yeah normal copper NGKs.- local

Spark Plug Shenanigans
So I've been tracking some hesitation and general crappyness for a while now with a decent amount of pulled timing using 93. At 118k I figured I might want to look into plugs. Initial research showed the copper/iridium stuff with the 2013s but I found the 100k service interval addendum with my...- local

MDS....Did you turn it off or leave it on?
Mine has been off since about the third hour I owned my truck. First thing I did when I got home was disable the MDS. I bought an 8 cylinder engine and I want to use an 8 cylinder engine. Since changing wheels and tires my MPG is down to about 16 but that is still the best I have ever had in...- local

Finally joined the Falken club!
Just tried mine out on the beach this morning, might as well have been running on a paved road. Didn't even notice going through random soft stuff. -
Intermittent A/C Blower Failure
Surprise surprise, warranty is not going to cover the connector. Doesn't cover electrical connectors they say. So that leaves me two options: 1. Get the replacement connector with pigtail from the dealer for about $40 and splice the 20 some odd wires together myself, not paying the dealer... -
Intermittent A/C Blower Failure
That was a possibility until today. Dealer looked into that and the blower is actually running a bit under spec for amps. So now I am waiting on word on if warranty will cover the replacement of the connector. They should from what I am told but it has to be approved. If it comes back... -

What DON'T you like about your RAM?
The TIPM. Whoever decided that a simple fuse and relay box needed to be a fracking computer with integrated circuits and relays should be fired, excessively.- local

Anyone tried making a remote relay?
I have a TIPM problem. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/intermittent-a-c-blower-failure.143856/ I am wondering if anyone here has tried to relocate a relay off the TIPM. I am thinking about making a direct fed power supply to my blower. Take the control signal from the TIPM and send that to...- local

Intermittent A/C Blower Failure
It has nothing to do with the blower motor. The pin coming out of the TIPM for the blower has been arcing inside the connector causing it to short and partially melt the connector. I made a shade tree mechanic fix to try and stop the arcing but I do not know why it started in the first place... -
Intermittent A/C Blower Failure
Not much I can do about this unless I want to try an find a new connector and then splice a ton of wires together or completely rewire the blower independent of the power center. Neither of those options are particularly appealing to me so I cleaned and bent the contacts then jammed a ton of... -

Intermittent A/C Blower Failure
And fail again, second relay does basically the same thing. Since tapping the relay fixes it that means it should be in the connections for that relay. When it is out I will turn the fan on manual and notice every once in a while I get a little air pulse. Hitting a sufficiently large bump...
