    Another (Different?) Key Fob Problem

    Yes... one more fob post although this is a bit different. I searched and didn't find this exact issue... although I didn't read the entirety of all 1,000,000,000 posts so I apologize if this has been covered. Truck is just past 10 years old, first fob gave out pretty early... maybe after...

    Oil Change % on EVIC

    Anyone know if the oil change % factors in time as well as miles/driving conditions? The manual says the change interval should never exceed 10,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first, but I'm wondering if it would alert me if I started to get up against the 12 months. Over the nearly...

    Insurance for Extended Time @ Dealer?

    I just sold a vehicle to a friend/employee and the tranny blew. Luckily it has Maxcare warranty coverage but the transfer of ownership paperwork can take up to 60 days to "process" and the tranny is also currently on backorder and the dealer won't start sourcing it until the warranty has been...

    Educate Me - Alignment Results Question

    I'm coming up on new tires and noticed some wear on the outside of the passenger/front tire that I want to sort out first. All these numbers look like a foreign language to me. How far "off" are things? This is a truck for my company and I'm not the only one to drive it so not sure if someone...

    Can't Get Alignment Due to Drag Link Nuts

    So, I'm coming up on getting tires and have some uneven wear on my front passenger side so I went to get an alignment and was told they are unable to do it due to "welded drag link nuts." I assume this is due to the recall that was done? Has anyone else encountered this? Please tell me FCA...

    Toyo AT3 vs Falken Wildpeak AT3W

    I think I've narrowed my tire search down to a couple choices. I found some YouTube videos doing a direct comparison which was very helpful. Anyone have any experience with either of these? I think I'm leaning towards the Falkens but have never had a set so am a bit nervous. I've run many...

    "Service Parking Sensors" message

    Been getting this message off and on for a while and now it's just on all the time. Is it really as simple as getting a new set of four sensors on Amazon for $25 and replacing them? I have a warranty but it's got a $100 deductible and taking the truck in is somewhat of a PITA so I'd love to...

    New 6.4 Oil Usage

    Just got my truck from the dealer after getting a new 6.4 Hemi put in (Lifetime Maxcare Warranty thank God) and checked the oil after a few hundred miles and it was about 1.5 qts low. This seems pretty extreme but I can't remember if it's to be expected in a brand new engine. Unfortunately, I...

    New 6.4 Hemi from Dealer - Paperwork

    So, a bit over two months ago I got some flashing CELs, took my truck in and it was determined that it needed a new engine. Got approved from my MaxCare Warranty (truck is totally stock, all service done at the dealer). It's a 2014, 6.4 Hemi w/120K miles. Got word today that it's ready but am...

    Flashing CEL = Misfire?

    Got a flashing CEL this morning and some research shows it's likely a misfire. I've read a few other threads but have some other stuff going on so I figured I'd start my own rather than hijacking. A couple days ago under mild acceleration around 30mph (so not much wind noise) I heard what I...

    6.4 Hemi - 8 Year Report

    So, I just passed 8 years of owning my 2014 6.4 Hemi Outdoorsman 4X4. Last week I took a little road trip from Portland down to Reno/Tahoe, back up to central Oregon and back to Portland It was about 1300 miles in 4 days and got me thinking of some highs/lows of this truck. Overall, it's been...

    Cost at Dealer to Swap Front/Rear Diff. & Xfer Case Fluids?

    As the title says, how much will the dealer charge me to swap front diff fluid, rear diff fluid and xfer case fluid? Truck is a bone stock 2014 6.4 Hemi 4X4 w/115K miles. And PLEASE... refrain from telling me to do it myself, explaining how it's so easy my grandmother could do it, and how...

    6.4 Hemi Exhaust Plugged Up?

    2014 6.4 Hemi, 110K miles, mostly non-towing. I may be imagining things but it seems like the truck has lost a little pep and I'm wondering if the exhaust is plugged up? I know this would happen on my old Toyota trucks (they were totally gut-less so ANY little loss of power was very...

    Who Still has a Life-Time Warranty in Effect?

    I bought my truck in March 2014 and shortly after paid $2250 for the Lifetime MaxCare. I'm at 107K miles and have no plans to sell anytime soon. I think it's been 2-3 years since they stopped offering the Lifetime plans. If I remember correctly, they never offered them on diesels. I'm...

    4G T-Mobile Uconnect

    Just saw a message on my Uconnect screen about 4G availability for out trucks and it mentioned T-Mobile. Has anyone heard anything or tried this? T-Mobile is my carrier and it would be cool if I got some data usage through my truck. I'm not willing to pay much since I usually have my phone...

    "Service Parksense System"

    Got this error message last week during an ice storm and didn't think much of it. Just figured it was due to ice and snow. Well, ice and snow are gone for 3+ days and still getting the message..... So, it must be due to road dirt, right? Cleaned the sensors on my rear bumper and am still...

    Trouble with Bluetooth

    2014 2500 w/8.4 Unconnect. For 6 years the Bluetooth connectivity has worked flawlessly with every phone I've had. I recently got a new phone and it's terrible. Takes forever and about 50% of time just won't connect at all. I'm constantly having to re-pair. So, I looked on the Mopar...

    Ran out of gas today... kind of

    2014 2500 Hemi 6.4 and I believe I have a 32 gallon tank - although when the light comes it takes 25 gallons, etc, etc. Anyway, I usually just watch my, "miles to empty" and gas up when necessary and the light goes on around 40-50. So, today I'm rolling with about 60 miles to empty and I pull...

    Keyfob Battery

    All this time spent around home due to the Coronvirus has made me tackle some little annoyances that I've been putting off. Finally today I replaced batteries on all our vehicle keyfobs.... Wow! what a difference. I guess I never noticed how bad the range had gotten since it happens so...

    Something is Draining my Battery

    My battery is 1.5 years old and just had it tested and it shows healthy and fine. Problem is after sitting for more than about 30 minutes with the key on (and radio, etc.) the battery is dead and the truck won't start. My truck has been at the dealer for a litany of tranny issues and I fear...

    UPDATED - Failed Tranny 2.0

    2014 Hemi 6.4 4X4, 93K - totally stock truck. Some of you may remember my original tranny blew up at 38K and was rebuilt under warranty. It never felt right to me and I complained to the dealer several times after picking it up. Despite harsh shifts and clunking I was given the Ram dealer...

    66rfe Limp Mode - Stuck in 4th Gear

    2014 4X4 6.4 Hemi with 93K. This is potentially tranny problem 2.0 as it originally blew up at 38K under pretty much zero load (stop/go freeway traffic) and was rebuilt under warranty. Post-rebuild it is/was okay but does have some scary clunky shifts at times and just generally feels like a...

    Partial Leaf Spring Removal?

    Tell me if I'm crazy - My plan when I eventually replace my 2500 is to go with a 3500 SRW Ram. I had originally planned to just replace the entire rear suspension with an air system but those sure do seem to be expensive (upwards of 4K from what I've found). So, could I just remove some of...

    Adaptive Cruise Control

    I'm curious what you guys think of the adaptive cruise control on the newer trucks? I just rented a Nissan Maxima that had this and it was pretty nice. I really liked it out on the highway but did find it a bit overzealous as I got into traffic. It seemed to brake and accelerate a lot more...
