    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    I can’t help you because you refuse to believe me what you’re showing me is a ground strap to reduce static discharge.. a ground strap like what is used on fuel tank filler tube for static discharge. Not as what I suggested as a dedicated ground. Never mind it’s pointless. Call what ever you...

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    Maybe you’re familiar with this shop that has a YouTube channel Maybe you can ask this guy why the cylinder heads are grounded as they are ? for static reasons ? or better electrical conductivity ? I believe it maybe easier to hear it from somebody else...

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    I am not your friend and your use of Dude towards me is derogatory. I believe the ground straps you refer to are bonding straps not technically grounds straps and the ground strap on the 2012 had three ( one with a clip ) where my truck only uses two that are daisy chained to each cylinder head...

    Map Light Fuse Number for 5th Gen RAM 1500 is F30

    Maybe a typo but F30 is either for another vehicle and not a 2020 Ram Truck or the zero should be a 3 Or you have another problem altogether In any case that doesn’t stop the fix congratulations!

    Map Light Fuse Number for 5th Gen RAM 1500 is F30

    Where are your map lights in your truck ? By reason of deduction if you remove F-33 fuse .. is it blown ? If you posses a multi-meter you don’t need to remove the fuse Use the metal contacts on top of the fuse to see if there is conductivity between them...

    You need to provide proof for that one no MOPAR or Chrysler's I ever owned had a dedicated ground strap from an aluminum cylinder head to the body… no one would stop you of course from starting your own thread telling everyone what a great idea it is.

    Replacing starter

    I would definitely check for other bolts. Are you sure the drive isn’t stuck and using a big hammer to tap the body to loosen the armature so it can spin ? Otherwise use of other tools like dead blow air hammer ? brass drift ? pry bar ...

    Looking for a "plug-in" trickle charger for RAM 3500 Diesel Dually

    I want you to rethink this strategy of grounding an aluminum cylinder head to the body of it’s chassis Electrolysis exist because of electrical conductive current ( engine coolant ) flowing inside two dissimilar metals the softer of the two is the aluminum And it is almost always commented...

Did you...

    Radio interference stops when brake depressed.

    Your truck probably has a connector similar to this that is identified as C238 - LT. GRAY (HEADLINER_LT) 20 WAY It may be possible that it’s grounding source is compromised. When you apply the brake pedal the high marker stop light maybe helping this connector complete it’s ground connection...
