    Ram Connect rant

    Sooooo, bought my new 2500 Tradesman CC Hemi. Got the glorious Ram connect for 3 months free. Now they want I think $15 per month so I can unlock my truck. Or lock it. I payed $61k for this thing. Don’t get me wrong I love the truck. I’m not paying one cent for something that should be free...

    Whats biggest thing you've towed with your 1500?

    I purchased a new camper last fall, Heartland Sundance 326BH with 7500lb dry weight and pulled it on two trips. Tongue weight 1100 with Huskie 4 point weight dist hitch and it towed quite nicely, even in 30mph crosswind!! Just keep it below 65mph and fine. I keep trying to upload a jpg of the...

    Anyone switched to 87 octane?

    I’ve had my 21 classic w 5.7 just a year now and always use 87. I get slight hesitation from stop when cold but that’s it (goes away when warm). When I tried 89, hesitation went away. No ping and no issues when pulling a 6500 lb camper.

    Sirius vs Guardian vs Uconnect - what's what???

    This is an old thread but I have to rant. $12/month to unlock doors with my phone? lol. Used it 3 times. Stood there for a half hour waiting. My 21 classic does not have remote start which is fine by me. Sirius and guardian can go shit themselves. So what’s next for the a la carte? Doors! If...

    Frustrated with Dealership - What’s Yours?

    They lost the sale with their choice of business methods. None of their business where you took your business. Give them the address of a Toyota dealership. It pays to shop around.

    Rear Axle Pinion snapped while driving

    Make sure your vin number is not tied to this thread. Just sayin. I used to hit these forums when I was a supplier to Chrysler when wet got Warranty hits. Easy search to then deny payment to Chrysler It wouldn’t come back on you though I don’t think.

    Rear Axle Pinion snapped while driving

    I would not accept a used or reman diff. Jolly lube f’d it up. They need to make you whole. I would also be dubious of rebuilding yours. The housing was likely damaged. Demand a new axle assembly. Period.

    What does this mean?

    1. Remove the cap and throw it in the trash. You didn't want it anyway. Ram guys are tough, no-nonsense. Don't be a pu$$y. 2. Place some calibrated, fault code covering, black electrical tape on the appropriate spot on the cluster. 3. Drive as usual...

    Traction control

    Can you run that hill in 4L? Then you get maximum torque and control; stability and traction control default off. 25-30 mph should be plenty for that.

    8 speed trans possibly clicking. Fluid check

    You need to determine where the noise is coming from first and foremost. Is it a 4x4? If so, the tcase will telegraph noise into the cab from axles, driveshafts and transmission, so it can really be from one of many locations. Try to understand if the ticking noise is happening at a frequency...

    anyone with locking hubs?

    Kurek is right. You would need to swap out your whole axle to one that has no internal disconnect to be able to use lockouts. I'm a jeep cj guy from way back so i know those lockout hubs well. I have also never seen a wheel hub last very long as they are very susceptible to water, slurry and...

    Apps, UConnect and MyMopar

    I have to rant. Is there a reason why FCA can't condense the nonsense and have just one app? They split the functionality between the two such that when I want to look something up in one, it's in the other and vise versa. Just, stop!! For heaven's sakes!!

    8.4 UConnect Locking Up '21 Ram Classic

    I have a theory about this issue. There is a TSB #S2008000123-Rev. B that discusses a similar issue with the 2020 Ram except it states for 2020 Ram with Ecodiesel. It may or may not be related, but it got me thinking. So my theory is this. In thinking in terms of this device as a computer that...

    RF hub progrm

    Both versions of ignition use the RFHub for that year, behind the back seat below the rear window. The Keyless Go variant uses some extra antennae in the vehicle for that keyfob to communicate (ie fob inside the vehicle to allow starting). The FOBIK, or what is called the "pignose" fob that you...

    Ignition switch

    The 18 Ram ( Ram 1500 DS from 2012 through 2021 has an IGNM ignition node module in the dash that can be replaced without reprogramming anything. The previously used WIN module would require programming. FCA split up the older WIN module into two parts, the IGNM and RFHUb. The IGNM is only the...

    8.4 UConnect Locking Up '21 Ram Classic

    Just an update here for this issue. It still occurs. I called the dealer to request they review the concern. I made an appointment for Dec 17th and told them that I cannot recreate the issue directly but that I took video of it. The service writer basically laughed and told me the video won't...

    Active shutters, what's the consensus?

    I do not believe the my ‘21 has these shutters. I compared to a buddies 17. His I could see. Nothing on mine. Mine is the warlock 5.7. Is this an option does anyone know? I suspect they removed for cost savings.

    Taking on Water...

    I dealt with this when I was a Quality Engineer for TRW. We made the RFHub module located on that back wall. Huge numbers of them in warranty due to water intrusion. They are not sealed units either which makes it worse. Fca had no idea until we were getting multiple units back from the same...

    Ram Diesel 2014 Transmission / Gear selector problem

    Did you verify that you have a fully charged battery? I know these systems get flaky when the batt gets below 11.5. Also you may have to clear those codes for the vehicle to be able to start, especially if it is a vehicle critical system.
