    Overheating Infotainment Screen 2015 Laramie

    Wow. $3200. Looked at Crutchfield and there is no replacement for my 2020. Too much vehicle integration in the radio I guess. Dang that sucks. Wonder what united radio cost to repair is?

    Overheating Infotainment Screen 2015 Laramie

    If it is like other membrane type screens I’ve worked on, the connector that goes into the motherboard is probably loose. Sometimes it can be reseated and fix your problem. Sometimes. I bet when you go over bumps it improves? Take it apart and look for loose ribbon cable connections.

    Some data on batteries and current drain 1500 Hemi

    @just_me great observations. Always heard the three year rule, but I’ve got an 2019 Audi that is electronics heavy on its original battery. Five years. It sits sometimes three weeks not started. My 2020 Ram will sit one or two weeks not being started. Four year old battery. I occasionally run a...

    24 tradesman no door chime no retained accessory power?

    One of my vehicles from the past had that problem and it was a dead speaker in the drivers door. Don’t know if the sound still comes from there or not plus it was a Chevy. Turn all your speaker volume to one of your speakers at a time and see if it is lost playing the radio.

    Truck cut off in the middle of the road!!!!

    Seems to be Chrysler/Stellantis story. Wife wanted a Jeep Cherokee but their electronics are flakey. Dieing in the middle of the intersection seems common. Lottsa problems with the power distribution center under the hood. Loose fuses, corrosion and bad connections. I’d look at reseating all...

    Door handle operation? Stuck inside!

    Watched a YouTube video of some dude attempting to steal contents in car, maybe a BMW, and while inside the owner came up and locked the doors with his remote. Dude was stuck inside because the electric actuator doors wouldn’t open from the inside. Are our doors opened mechanically or...

    2022 RAM 1500 - Unknown Connector in the OBD2 port

    Pics would help. To modify any settings you needs a security bypass assembly which then connects a bit higher under the dash. Post a pic.

    Active air dam

    My AAD died, so I replaced it with a new one. Installing the new one cleared the code. I didn’t have to take it to the dealership or use a code reader to clear it. My remote start wouldn’t work while the AAD was faulted. $500 for the new one and took me fifteen minutes to pull the old and...

    Not right - front tires worn on outside edges

    Just bought new tires for mine. The old tires had similar wear as yours not as bad. I’m watching the new tires to see how they wear, and so far I’m not seeing the same wear. 5000 miles on them and will rotate them in a day or two. I suspected alignment but not seeing the proof in this set yet.

    Vibration sound (not engine vibration)

    There is a rumble strip along side the stripe on the right side of the road. It’s meant to wake up sleepy or distracted drivers. You found it.

    temperature issues

    The thermostat maintains the coolest the truck will run. Ambient temperature, the load on the engine, and condition of the complete cooling system will dictate how hot the engine runs.

    What's that sound?

    I don’t have e-torque or air suspension so I’m going with e-brake too. Don’t really like e-brake coming on on its own because I’ve had brakes freeze in cold weather. Just rented a u-haul that seemed to do the same thing. If I didn’t set the brake it sounded like it set the brake for me?

    Battery replacement IBS registration using a Foxwell nt530

    Found this on the internet. It’s talking about a BMW, and it sounds like that tool is specifically for a BMW? But it does give a procedure to make it happen. https://www.youcanic.com/register-bmw-battery-foxwell-schwaben-scanner/

    Sudden No Start

    I had the same exact experience. Took a long breaker bar and tapped rather hard on the side of your starter. If it cranks you’ve narrowed it down the the starter solenoid. You can easily access the starter from the drivers side wheel well. HUGE WORD OF CAUTION. The battery cable is right down...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    So being just plain ole mean sometimes, had a bit of fun with a navy buddy once. He came from New York City and I guess he just never needed a car. Finally bought and got his license when he turned 23. Told him to be sure and change the air in his tires every ten thousand miles, or they would...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Yeah. I’ve never changed brake fluid either and I’ve driven some old worn out cars. Maybe replacing brake parts have saved my butt over the years?

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    4 wheel drive on evic cluster

    Initial start does a self test on all the lights in the cluster just to let you know the bulbs are good. That’s why you are seeing the 4wd at start up. Your bcm doesn’t recognize the cluster. Flash time.

    0249AC springs. What is at the top?

    It won’t fix it. The lube will just quiet it down enough so you can say that is the noise. You’ll have to get it back in position.
