    Oil sensor?

    Okay, thanks. Next question. Is it a part that should just be changed out? (There are no warnings or lights coming on.) Or, could I just remove it, put some type of thread seal on it and put it back in?

    Oil sensor?

    When I was changing the oil in my wifes '11 Ram, I noticed that there was oil on the bottom of the oil filter. At first, I thought that the filter wasn't put on correctly last oil change. Upon looking into it further, I noticed that there is a sensor on the front of the block, above the oil...

    RAM / FIAT Settlement truck buy back...

    I'm just about to take mine in for a pretty shaky right front. Getting up to speed on the highway, 100Km/h, it starts to shake pretty good. Although, it does keep my coffee mixed well, as I drive to work. Will have to wait and see if my truck is one of the ones recalled. Kind of don't want it...

    Remote start problems in cold

    Alright. Weird thing happened. Wife says that the check engine light was on this morning when she went to work. When she came out after work, it is no longer on. It must be a cold thing. It did warm up today from -15C (5F) this morning, to -6C (21F) We'll see what happens when it gets cold...

    Remote start problems in cold

    Well, I read if you hold down the odometer reset and turn the key, it will show problems. Upon doing this, it says my trailer brake was disconnected. Turned key off, started, that problem went away. Still have check engine light on. So, tomorrow I will have to take it to the shop and see if they...

    Remote start problems in cold

    Thanks for all the info and help. Now, is there a way to check and clear the codes at home? I know in my '01 Ram, I would turn the key to the on position, back and forth, on the third time, stop on the on position. Then the display would show any codes. Any thing like this for the 2011?

    Remote start problems in cold

    With the temps dipping down to -30C (-22F) we are using the remote start every day. Well, trying to. Today, with the temp at -25C (-13F) I tried to remote start our 2011 Big Horn. It will start, but, after about 10 seconds, it shuts off and says that the remote start is disabled. Start truck...

    The small things in life

    I love how many compliments we get and how people stare at it. Also the ease of passing on the highway. Put the pedal down and you are by the slower moving vehicle in no time.

    Speed Limiter

    Found out the other week that mine cuts out at about 170km/h as well. But, it sure doesn't take long to get up there :-) No need to go any faster than that anyways, unless, you are on the track.

    Black Truck Club

    Unfortunately, not an option. When we were looking for a truck, it was supposed to "replace" my 01 Ram 2500 which I use mainly for firewood, hauling the quad, the boat and trailer. My wife liked this one (does me no good, as I needed a long box). So now, we have the new truck for her, and I...

    Oil change light

    I think that I have read some where, it monitors different driving conditions like time of idling, hi revs... Not sure what else it could monitor. Myself, I would wait for the regular intervals. Just check the oil and make sure it is in the safe zone.

    Sweet garage emjohn4. A little empty, but, I am sure it will fill up quickly. Wish I had some space like that.

    Uconnect problem

    I have the same problems with my 2011. Although, I do not have an iphone, the streaming of mp3 was butchered. My calls were good, and all else worked. My USB ports did not work though. I have tried to download mp3's to the hard drive through USB, no go. Tried listening through USB, no go. The...

    From what I have heard, and my dad's Cummins, a couple work trucks, the front ends are a weak point.

    Post your step bars/running boards?

    Would love a set of these, but, around here, hard to find any where to buy them, then, even harder to find some one to install them.

    A simple wiring question

    I am planning to hook up a winch to the back of the truck (2001 Ram 2500). It is a simple winch that will be removable and attached to the hidden hitch. This winch is simply to pull wood from a wood pile to the back of the truck, not to be used for pulling out of mud or anything heavy and hard...
