    Pilot Light Off or On During Fuel Stop?

    Isn't it illegal to drive with your propane valve in the open position? I don't recall where I heard that. But I live in California so I assume anything I do, want to do, or have done is illegal. Writing this message is probably illegal. Don't tell Gavin.

    Engine block heater cord installation

    Thanks, Jerry. In fact, I did use zip ties but there weren't good places to wrap the ties around, hence the mounts.

    Engine block heater cord installation

    Update: after 1 year the cable mount adhesive failed at it's connection to the plastic mount. The adhesive stayed on the truck. Fortunately, the cord only dangled a bit but the Velcro in the air intake held the end of it from falling out onto the ground or from getting pulled under the tire...

    6.7 Cummins ticking noise?

    I have a ticking noise as well. Yours seems synchronous with the engine RPM (if I'm hearing what you are trying to demonstrate in the video). Mine is definitely not synchronous. Mine is definitely not coming from the fuel pump (which I just had replaced along with the entire fuel system...

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    Wow, ES. That's almost too generous a proposition. If you do come across them, I'd be happy to pay more than shipping. Darron

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    Sorry, Bill. I have not found any. I even tried at my Les Schwab and they couldn't help me. I just run them without the center caps using other lug nuts.

    Diesel Additive

    Adding my experience to this post. It's also in a separate post. 2020 Ram 2500 6.7L CTD died while towing (fortunately, in town). CP4 fuel pump failure at 7,800 miles. Covered under warranty. Was at dealership for 4 weeks. I live in California. Almost all fuel purchased in California...

    Fuel pump failure on 2020 CTD at 7800 miles.

    Here is the new pump. I have not been able to identify the pump that was installed. The markings shown are supposed to help identify the type of pump. I pointed them out with red arrows. The part number is R8545068AA for "Fuel Kit: Injection" but I couldn't find on the internet what pump...

    Fuel pump failure on 2020 CTD at 7800 miles.

    Driving 2020 2500 CTD (7800 miles) while towing ~6500 lb travel trailer, the engine just cut out. Would not restart. It was a big fiasco on a major roadway. Cops had to manage traffic as I was blocking center 2 lanes of a 4 lane road (died in the middle of a left-turn across roadway). Took...

    Extended Warranty. When to get it.??

    I'm looking at the Mopar ESP through Ziegler. Can anyone verify that the longest ESP term is 8 years from the time the vehicle was new? So, you are essentially buying a 5-year extension of the 3 year warranty. Is there anything longer out there? Also, is there a better ESP with broader...

    Fuel water separator - maintenance question

    I'm sure that is what it's for. However, things in life don't always work perfectly or work as planned. One specific example seen here: So, if it only costs a fraction of a gallon of fuel and 5 minutes, I might do it. Maybe not monthly because it's not my daily driver and I'm not that...

    Fuel water separator - maintenance question

    Seeking wisdom. I heard someone say that the stopcock on the fuel filter should be opened once per month to drain any water from the fuel water separator. Any truth to this? If so, should it be done at front AND rear? One or the other? Thanks!

    Towing a TT with no WDH

    Crash, I think you're being purposefully obtuse. The fact that the WDH brought the front down a bit and the rear up a bit (compared to loaded without WDH) is just evidence that it's doing what it's supposed to.

    Towing a TT with no WDH

    Have you taken measurements? It's not too hard to do. This is only a proxy for weight distribution but probably a better assessment than looking to see how level it is (as others have pointed out). 1. Measure from ground to top of fender cutout both front and rear UNLOADED. 2. Same...

    Using Airbags to fit in the garage?

    I barely had clearance when I got my truck. I adjusted the stop on the garage door which bought me another inch of clearance. I even considered removing the trim to get another 3/4" but it wasn't necessary. You might edit the original post to include some very specific info such as the max...

    Oil filter for 2020 2500 6.7L CTD

    I wouldn't have been too worried about it except someone else out there reported the same thread issue that they only noticed when they couldn't get their Mopar filter to thread on. They got another Mopar filter with the same problem. I don't want to find out mid- change that the issue is legit.

    Oil filter for 2020 2500 6.7L CTD

    My 2500 came with the Mopar oil filter. I did a change around 1500 miles since I wanted to make sure there was some quality oil in it (could NOT find out what it came with). Used the same Mopar filter. Ordered new filter for the next change... same Mopar filter. The threads on it look...

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    Part number is C2473C for the center cap (notice the similarity to part number for the wheel itself, STL2473). Wait, maybe the OEM part number is 4726279AA.

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    So I got these off Amazon. The OD of the flared part of the nut is too small to be grasped by the retaining flange of the center cap! Looks like the nut OD is 22mm but I need something like 28-29mm to be held by the flanges. Still looking... Here is an OEM lug nut #6509422AA for almost...

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    Thanks, U&A! That was a super fast reply. Thanks for ungrasping your Ram to snap a shot. Those look just like all the open-ended acorn lug nuts I saw on Amazon. I'll just order some and give 'em a go.

    Anyone have this wheel center cap? What lug nuts?

    Appreciate any help. Anyone have this wheel and center cap? I can't find which lug nuts will allow the center cap to snap on. I bought these wheels with caps but I don't have the nuts! I was told they're from a 2018 2500. I've got the nuts from my other wheels on there currently but the...

    Best truck cap (camper shell)?

    I got a Leer 100XR. Very pleased so far. It seems that the rear end of the canopy rests slightly higher than the roof of the cab, but not likely higher than the antenna. Good enough color match. Good contouring to the rear of the cab and where the hatchback window marries up to the tailgate...

    Travel trailer towing help!

    I have a TT of similar weight and length... just under 8000 lbs loaded and 31 feet long. I got the 2500 CTD and I use a weight distribution hitch. I am definitely glad I went with the 3/4 ton and not the half ton for this towing, even though I'm well within the limits for my vehicle. With...
