    Success lowering trans temp with @chaulk04 mod

    I installed the transmission heater bypass device from the member listed in the title about 2 months ago and have been very pleased. Without pulling a load, on the highway, with outdoor temperatures in the '70s and '80s, my transmission temperature is low to mid 120s after 30 plus minute...

    What is the correct 8HP70 fluid capacity when dropping pan?

    I apologize but I've found so many conflicting posts. Getting ready to change fluid in my 2019 8 speed by dropping the pan and refilling. I've watched videos and read posts, but I've found fluid capacity ranges from 5.5 qts to 8 qts for the same transmission in the RAM. Can several confirm...

    Do you have to remove tail pipes when replacing muffler?

    Update: I installed the Magnaflow muffler and I did not remove tail pipes. I raised the rear of the truck by driving up on two 2 x 10s under each back tire, I heated pipe to muffler connections very well with a propane torch, sprayed lube on all hangers, allowed pipes to completely cool...

    Do you have to remove tail pipes when replacing muffler?

    Ok, cool. Thanks. I will be doing this on my driveway and I would think physically removing the pipes would be a pain due to lack of ground clearance if angling ends down was needed.

    Do you have to remove tail pipes when replacing muffler?

    Question listed above. Bought magniflow bolt on muffler andtheir instructions do not discuss removing tail pipes. I've watched 2 YouTube videos and those guys removed tail pipes completely from the truck. I know the pipes slide together but wondering if pipes can slide back enough without...

    Display/screen brightness "headlights on" cannot be adjusted

    That is the trick! Yes, the manual brightness can be adjusted as long as the dash light adjuster wheel is all the way on dim. What a stupid design. Thanks guys!

    Display/screen brightness "headlights on" cannot be adjusted

    If you are referring to the auto setting on the screen that you can see in the photo above, yes. That is perfect at night but extremely bright during the day - like someone is shining a flashlight in my face lol. Very distracting.

    Display/screen brightness "headlights on" cannot be adjusted

    Yes, I'm aware of the dimmer switch. However, the screen is too dark with headlights on unless dimmer switch is rotated all the way to the right, then the screen is too bright.

    Display/screen brightness "headlights on" cannot be adjusted

    Have a 2019 Classic and trying to make display brightness the correct level for me at all times - blinding in auto mode during day but good at night or the other way around in manual mode. I can select manual mode and adjust display brightness headlights off but not on (see pic). Grayed out...

    Trailer brake control ITBM over the air?

    Thanks. I think I will do this. I went back to dealer yesterday and they told me they'd have to bring it back in the shop and charge $150. Said they didn't have time yesterday and I don't have time to keep going back there.

    Trailer brake control ITBM over the air?

    I installed the TBC kit and took truck to dealer. Service writer took my vin, input some info on his computer and said I was all set. I asked if he needed to bring truck into shop and hook it up to computer, and he said no. Said this update is over the air and would show up on my truck within...

    Strange electrical issues (part 2)

    Update. I checked fuses in late July and I found that every single one of the larger fuses was pushed up a little bit. Maybe 1/64th of an inch?? Very noticeable. I pushed them all back down and the issues I've had are about 90% resolved. A couple of times a week the display or radio may change...

    Battery issues on

    Hey OP, what was the solution? I have a 2019 Classic I bought six months ago and alt gauge always read about 2/3rds of the way to max. DTC screen will change modes by itself after shut off and service history shows battery replaced at dealer at 15K miles. Now battery is dead again at 37K...

    8.4 Screen hazy, delaminating?

    Thanks for the info. I'll try dealer yet again since it's still under warranty. Really surprised they don't see anything wrong with it but I'll probably have to meet with service manager.
