    A/c Clutch burning up

    Just replaced mine for the same issue. The compressor came apart internal and spewed metal through the whole system. The condenser was plugged. When I took the dash out to replace the broken doors (fixed it all at the same time) I found the culprit. The evaporator was covered in oil. It...

    This is how it starts

    Around here there are women that drive tractors, sling hay bales, cut corn and raise cows. They got trucks. They will sling mud and run a muck trough and think nothing about it. And yes, they love their trucks.

    This is how it starts

    @Oliver Closehauf I have replaced the head unit. For the time being I am using the factory infinity amplifier. The DMX1057 integrates with the amp and gives you certain control options that never came with the truck. Furthermore, the DMX1057 gave me access in real time to OBD2 data and the...

    CP4 Fuel System Failure - 14+ Weeks to repair Disabled Truck - Ram Doesn't Care!

    I can empathies with you. The frustration you are feeling is absolutely palpable. This paragraph in your post is very significant. You purchased a new vehicle with a specific "expectation". In reality you didn't buy a new truck per'se, you bought an expectation, that of "reliability and...

    Brake Calipers

    Your not alone...... When doing brakes the hardware is just as if not more important. What is interesting, in the past you could buy a caliper rebuild kit i.e. the square cut seal and the piston seal aka dust boot and the pin bushing and seals. The cost of a rebuilt caliper is now so economical...

    End of an era

    The Ford Lighting 1500 comes in at just under 3.5 tons (6590lbs) I am still trying to see the trade off. A whole new version of the "lead sled".

    iDatalink-ready car stereo

    @Ram_d00d Do you know what "head unit" you want? Starting from a non premium sound system you can do a heck of a lot. Not having to fight the amp/pcm issue opens the door for just about any setup without a metric ton of bypass wiring. As for "idatalink ready" it doesn't quite work like that. I...

    iDatalink-ready car stereo

    Just installed a iDatalink this weekend. This is typically installed with a new head unit. Once the iDataLink is flashed to you vehicle it allows you to maintain steering wheel controls and depending on the headunit, i.e. if it has a display will allow specific feature of the vehicle to be...

    Water leak in passenger footwell not coming from cowl or door

    Take a look at the door hinges. On the upper hinge there is a hinge pin with a brass bearing of sorts that the door spring lever ride on. With the door open lift up on door itself from the handle side. If there is significant movement at that spot in the hinge the door may not be sealing...

    I know this is way late to the party, I am posting so there will be a record if anyone else is looking. Check ebay, several dealers from MN to FL post trim type stuff all the time. Specifically seat related stuff, cushions, covers plastics, etc. You have to verify who the seller is, there are...

    2015 ram express 5.7

    Battery is always the first place to start. Also give a gentle tug on the plug that goes into the throttle body. I have seen three times now were the locking nipple on the socket is broken or worn and the plug backs out. All it needs is a little bit to get the lightning bolt.
