    Error code that can't be resolved for exhaust system.

    I should have also said that so far the Pyrometer has been replaced twice, but with no effect as once the code was cleared a hundred miles or so later it came back on. The Oxygen sensor has also been replaced and the same result took place. Now the P2201 code is showing which didn't show...

    Error code that can't be resolved for exhaust system.

    I have a 2013 Ram 2500 Diesel Big Horn that's throwing a P2200 code for the Exhaust system. The Pyrometer has been replaced twice and a new Oxygen sensor as well. So far neither the dealer nor a private ASC certified Diesel mechanic can properly diagnose and repair. I've been to several...

    Tunners for 2013 6.7 Bighorn

    I have a 2013 Ram Big Horn 6.7 Diesel; it's totally stock except for a K&N Air Filter and a Michimoto aluminum radiator and a B&M auxiliary trans cooler and a stage II 68RFE trans (Stock Trans failed at 97000 miles). I do a fair amount of towing with a 5th wheel that weighs about 7500 Pounds...

    Transmission build cost

    First let me say this, the 68RFE stock unit has fatal flaws in it from Mother MOPAR and you should not replace a trans with another stock trans. it will only do the same things. Buy an aftermarket rebuilt trans that's built to either a Stage I or Stage II level. Make sure the rebuilt unit has a...

    Transmission thermostat bypass failures?

    The stock trans thermostat is set for 168 degrees, not bad if it stayed there but when towing in hills or mountains it gets far too hot, like up to 220. Once you're out of the hills it doesn't cool down quickly at all and as anyone knows heat is the kiss of death for a transmission. If you...

    Transmission problem - advice needed

    The 68RFE transmission has several weaknesses and has a reputation for early life failures. Here's the bottom line, do not rebuild it to OEM standards with OEM parts. The Pump housing is made with a soft aluminum and wears allowing leaks past the pump, the input shaft is not a billet unit and...

    68RFE rebuild

    The 68RFE trans has a bad reputation for poor quality components. I've heard that the design is great and a step forward in electronic transmissions. However, mother MOPAR has made bad choices in the components such as the Input shaft and the clutch packs and the fluid pump. Whoever, there is...

    Run fast !

    I've had Dodge cars and trucks my whole life long and now own a 2013 Ram 2500 Diesel 4/4 Big Horn Crew Cab and love it. Is it perfect no and by the way no truck is Chevy, Ford, Toyota or any other. They all have design and material issues. It's not all the engineers fault either, many times...

    info on factory brake controller

    I've had after market controllers on other trucks and was never happy with their performance. They seemed to fluxtuate in how much braking they applied, however the one that cam in my 2013 is great, it's even, repeatable, consistent and easy to adjust when needed. It was my understanding...

    towing readout help

    Engine temps run higher now in newer vehicles for smog reasons. My 5.7 2014 Ram 1500 runs at about 205 and the 6 speed trans at about 190 and oil at about 230. I do run Rolya Purple synthetic oil always and change between 3000 and 4000 miles regardless of what the manual says. Just think...

    Long tt towing. What can I expect

    I have a 2013 Ram BigHorn, 5.7 quad cab, 6.4 bed with factory two package. I replaced the 3.55:1 diff gears with 3.92:1 so the factory rated towing capacity should be at 10,300# according to Mother MOPARS web site. I installed a set of aftermarket rear coils rated at 25% more capacity than the...

    Airbags or springs

    I have a 2013 1500 BigHorn with factory tow package and a goose neck 5th wheel tow set up. I removed the factory rear coils and replaced them with after market springs rated at 25% more capacity. Now instead of a 4 inch drop I get maybe 2 inches of drop. I also added air bags inside the coils...
