    tie rod ends?

    Well, they arent just floppong freely. It does take a little grip to make the tie rod rotate, but its not much because it moves enough to make a clunk when going over uneven terrain. I was just stumped how it can have so much play rotationally, and not have any side to side slack. Im still...

    tie rod ends?

    Recently I replaced the front shocks on my 2015 2500 4wd, and I immediately noticed a clunking sound in the front end that wasnt there before. I thought I had left a shock loose, but that wasnt the case. I crawled underneath and began shaking things down, and so far have found that my steering...

    Cargomaxx HD on 2500

    Been working my truck pretty hard, and a lot more often over the last couple of years. Put the new bed on it and added bags to help reduce sag when towing or hauling, but it just didn’t seem stout enough, especially lately having to haul hay this fall. My father-in-law keeps saying I just need...

    Preventing Battery saver mode

    I have an electric over hydraulic pump on my truck to operate a hydraulic hay spear, and when operating the spear, my truck goes into battery saver mode. At first it didnt do anything to the truck except idle it up, but now I am noticing that it is turning my radio off every now and then when in...

    6.4 Plug Change Tips???

    Not much different than the fronts actually, which were totally dry and a little more corroded in the threads. The middle 2 cylinders were actually the easiest the thread out.

    6.4 Plug Change Tips???

    Got a tick over 108K on them. I did not go through the wheel wells. I just stood in a chair and went from the top. Pretty simple once you find the right combination of extensions, u joints, and such to snake around the heater hoses and A/C lines on the passenger side, bulge in the firewall on...

    6.4 Plug Change Tips???

    Changed em out. All went pretty smoothly considering. Plugs looked well used compared to the new ones. On the rear plugs I was noticing that the threads looked damp and smelled like oil and gas (third picture), but the fronts were dry. The electrode was dry. The fluid appeared to only be on the...

    6.4 Plug Change Tips???

    But as far as changing them on a cold engine, there's no issues? My main concern is getting them out without breaking them. I know on a lot of Fords, you have to change them hot. My Chevy's were never a problem cold, but I've never change plugs on a Hemi before, so I'm not sure of the...

    6.4 Plug Change Tips???

    Looking to see if there are any tips or tricks to changing the plugs out on a 6.4 Hemi. Pretty used to working on old Chevys, and I know Fords have some tricks to getting the plugs out. Just wondering if there's anything to the Hemi, like change them hot/cold, need a certain tool, remove this...

    Front End Maintenance Parts

    Thats just the difference in the IFS (especially Chevrolets) and SFA. Thats why Im looking for a parts list for the SFA front end, because Ive never serviced one, and am not sure what to look at. Just looking for a parts list of all potential parts that might need to be replaced.

    4wd shifter retainer???

    Thats likely it. Looks like there should have been a bushing or retainer there. Is it the same for all years, or is there a difference on newer models? Im seeing most online go up to 2010. Mines a 2015.

    100k maintenance?

    So the "relearn" is just driving easy, or is there anything electronically involved?

    4wd shifter retainer???

    What do you call the part I need to fix this? Noticed this weekend that I had a LOT of slop in my 4wd shifter. Crawled underneath to check it out and noticed that the arm that connects the shifter to the t-case was barely hanging on. Looks like it needs a bushing or retainer that is missing...

    Front End Maintenance Parts

    Never had a high mile truck with a solid front axle, so not sure what parts are normal wear parts for one, specifically the 15 2500. Mine's got 106+ on the clock, and Im getting some bump and wobble since adding the new tires. JUst wondering what parts I need to get.

    100k maintenance?

    WOuld you guys still recomend a fluid change on a transmission you dont know if its ever been changed on? Ive always heard you either change them every so many miles (depending on transmission) or not at all, but I have always driven high mile Chevys and this is my first Ram with 100K so it may...

    5th gen 50 gal fuel tank into a 4th gen.

    Found the part number on Rock Auto, but they were out of stock. A quick searhc turned up a couple places with them in stock for about $410+$35 shipping for the cheapest one. https://store.mopar.com/oem-parts/mopar-fuel-tank-68534615ab?c=az0xJnE9Njg1MzQ2MTVBQQ%3D%3D For that kind of money, it...

    Airlift Gauge Leak

    Just thought I would share what i found out for anyone else who might be experiencing the slow leak, as I have found that many people experience the same problem with the airlift system. So, never heard back from Airlift on the warranty, but rather got a package in the mail last week with a...

    2015 2500 will not take fuel

    Did some research and found the "topping off" issue in several threads. I am guilty of topping off, mostly just to get an even dollar amount, so its usually not that much, but I guess its enough over the scan of 100K miles. Ended up taking everything from the charcoal canister to the tank off...

    2015 2500 will not take fuel

    had an evap code for a small leak appear a week or so ago, and now a “Check Gas Cap” light on the dash. Went to fill up tonight and fuel would not go in like it should. Would take about 1/3 gal or less and the pump clicked off. Thought it was the pump, so tried another one. Even tried 2 other...

    Airlift Gauge Leak

    I installed some and Airlift Load Leveler kit on the back of my truck in February, and they helped tremendously since putting the new flatbed on, especially when towing or hauling. Problem now is that I have developed a leak in the system, and after spraying down the entire system with soapy...

    Slow roll squeak

    Noticed today that my truck is making a cyclical faint squeak sound when I slow roll it. Noticed it when I was easing down the driveway. It is dependent on speed and does not change with the cycling of the suspension (bumps). The sound is like wet tennis shoes on a hardwood or tile floor. Not...

    My Handle is Accurate Again!!!

    Finally got my bed on. Had built a bed for this truck a couple years ago and decided that there were things about it I didn’t like so went back to stock, but always wanted to go back with another flatbed. Had an incident involving a round bale of hay and the insurance company helped finance the...
