PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
That's interesting, I never ran into a vehicle that has gotten closed and open loop mixed up. I also stopped being a mechanic years ago so my knowledge is limited. When I was a mechanic, we had a few cars that we could not fix a miss and had to send them to the dealer. OP needs to keep us...- BowerPower

PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
I can not speak to injector open circuit. I have never ran into that before, but... upon initial start up the computer does not use the O2 sensor. Upstream sensors are the only one use to affect air/fuel. Downstream are only there to see if the catalytic converters are working. It is my...- BowerPower

PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
That makes more sense. I have seen people do that. I guess I should have questioned it. I wouldn't worry about the injector. It won't hurt to do it. I have never seen a daily driver car need an injector. I'm sure it happens but it's rare. What you are describing is running rich and isn't a...- BowerPower

PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
The way I would do it it take one out and see what the factory uses and buy the same thing. If I had to guess they are either platinum or iridium made by ngk or champion. Mopar may have its own branded plugs but the partnumber will cross over to another brand. Don't forget hemis have 2 plugs per...- BowerPower

PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
If you can afford it, replace all the plugs. If i remember correctly the stock ones are only made to last 100,000 miles. You are in major need of new plugs, even if the computer doesn't detect a missfire you will be surprised. If you want just replace the ones that are misfiring at this time...- BowerPower

PRNDL yellow, truck dies after start.
You said a month ago it started having a rough idle and smells rich. My was your first thought to check the spark plug. When were they last replaced? When they were replaced what type were they? Copper, platinum, iridium will determine how long the new plug are ment to last. Bad idle can cause...- BowerPower

2016 laramie power wagon
When it comes to car modifications, the best advice I can give is "buy once, cry once". I have no personal experience installing a rough country lifts but I am told the none of the shops in my town will install rough country lifts. I was a mechanic for 5 years and I have seen what happens long...- BowerPower

Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon
They have turned into grocery getters because they don't rate them to tow or haul much. What good is a truck that can only carry 4 adults and 800 pounds in the bed? The original power wagon was a work horse of a truck for ww2 and the farm. Now it's all play and almost no work. I still think they...- BowerPower

Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon
Only level 3 pw get a center console, all others are bench. Moon roof is an option, one I very specifically didn't get because I would never open it. Level 1 pw is not letter seats, it's party leather like and cloth in the middle. Tradesmen can get heated seats.- BowerPower

Tradesman with Powerwagon Package vs Powerwagon
I see almost zero reason to get the tradesmen because of house close in price it is to the non tradesmen version. If you are going to be in the truck for long periods and or daily it, you will be more happy with the soft touch material in the higher end truck. It's nice not leaning your elbow on...- BowerPower

New 2023 Ram 2500 rebel
TLDR: Ram 2500 with an appearance package (from the 1500 trucks) and a rear electric locker. The base price starts in the $60,000 range so no base models. What do you think? Personally I have been hoping for this announcement and I am disappointed. This is 98% and appearance package and 2% a...- BowerPower

Front passenger legroom
I watched and read every review I could find on the 19+ ram 2500. None of those reviews ever mentioned the legroom its astonishing. I special ordered my power wagon because that is the only truck I ever wanted. The leg room is definitely a factor for why I will be getting rid of my truck. The...- BowerPower

Factory side steps - yay or nay?
I agree. I don't plan to do anything crazy where I would need rock sliders but the quality an reliability is hard to beat. When I have the spare cash, I will be getting some cust ordered with bigger spots to double as step. I have put on factory steps on rams before. They aren't bad but all...- BowerPower

Air bags to increase pay load
If by "put a camper on" you mean one of those slide in campers, the power wagon comes with specific instructions not to. It can be done, I saw one in town yesterday didn't lean or sway around turns. If you mean a topper thing to enclose the bed then ignore that. Legally speaking, air bags can...- BowerPower

canadian recall
Yup saw it in the news a few weeks ago. The stability light doesn't come on under certain conditions. It does not effect the operation of the safely system. It's for the US too. Nearly all 2500, 3500, Grand Cherokee and Durango made between 2019 and 2022 are affected.- BowerPower

Yeah "gas is on the way out". The funny part is we don't have an infustructure or the affordable technology to make it happen. 1. The U.S.A. DOES NOT have the electrical grid to sustain everyone charging there electric cars. Current solution is not allow everyone to charge at the same time and...- BowerPower

My truck is geared so low 55 is about top speed. I wonder if the builders intention was a rock crawler. Carbs have always been my issue. I have dual Holly's, such a pain! I never knew over drive units like that could add a hill hold feature. I wonder if they still make something like that.- BowerPower

I figured someone would bring that up. The rotating forces are more balanced on a I6. I was just saying that the V8 doesn't have to be dead. Large displacement, maybe. I have a 292 in my '49 chevy pickup. Definitely a neat engine. I can't "tow" with antique tags...- BowerPower

I find it funny the world is comming back to inline 6s. Back in the day it was very common for dump trucks and such to have an inline 6 engines. Everyone switched to V8s then diesels now we are back to 6 cylinders? It seems the push I'd about smaller displacement so why not small V8s? The...- BowerPower

I never thought about that. I do remember them saying the 7.3 was designed for high load applications. That goes it what I was saying, there needs always be a simple, less problematic N/A engine option... 6.4 hemi. Look at the 6.4 in the ram vs 6.4 in the dodge cars. Those two engines share...- BowerPower

HD with Gasoline I6
I was referring to the 6.4 Hemi. A question like that would be a good idea but was not there. The survey asked: 1. what I as a buyer look for when choosing an engine for my truck. 2. Whether or not I would choose the I6 turbo over the 6.4 hemi knowing the I6 makes more power. 3. If a V8 option...- BowerPower

HD with Gasoline I6
I think I see what your saying. The reason I bring up 15 year old truck rating is because people were towing 20,000 pounds with a diesel that only has 450tq without any issue. I don't see over 400tq as low. I see 1000tq in a 1-ton pickup as a bit excessive but I have no problem with it. Can it...- BowerPower

Um... the 6.4 hemi has 410hp and 429tq. In a world we're 1000tq diesels exist, 429tq seems insignificant but it's significantly more than trucks used to have and more than diesels 15 years ago I would like to add, I don't mean any ill will towards you.

I am surprised so see this not discussed but maybe no one took the survey.
