    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...

    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...

    Hemi tapping noise - recorded

    I posted an engine noise description from my 2019 with about 30K miles on it and results of Blackstone's oil analysis. I wanted to post this update separately since the other thread was long. Quick recap: purchased the truck a few months ago and noise is heard only in non-load situations and...

    Valvetrain noise and metal in oil analysis - 30K miles

    I picked up a 2019 Classic Lone Star a few months ago and it currently has just under 30K miles. Some valvetrain noise at start up but not too bad for modern engines. However, significant noise is noted at times. Such as with engine cold, when I pull out of my driveway, I have a 1/8 mile long...

    Odd things with gauge display/U connect on 2019

    Just picked up a 2019 Classic Lone Star with 28K miles. I've noticed some strange things with the displays and wondered if others have had similar issues and if it may mean/lead to a bigger problem. 1. voltage gauge displays notably to the right of the middle (almost to the line between middle...

    V-6 Pentastar Tick Rocker Arm Problem

    Truck has 120K miles and just started ticking. Pretty sucky for a truck that is driven very gently and has always had Mobil 1 Synthetic. Anyway, it sounds like the defective rocker arm tick that you can listen to on youtube. Most people just replace the one or two failed arms. I plan on...

    Any way to get a deal when ordering a new truck?

    I'm looking for a new Ram and there are plenty in inventory at the many dealers around me, but none have what I want. Most dealers advertise about $8K off sticker, but I don't think they'd offer that on a special order. I understand the incentives at time of delivery are what count, not at...

    squealing noise when engine running

    2015 V6 with 115k miles. This noise started about 2 months ago and is extremely annoying. Noise starts after I drive about an 1/8th of a mile but then noise stops 30 seconds to one minute after truck stops moving. It's been difficult for me to diagnose because I'll stop the truck, open the...

    Dealer evaluated transmission whine

    Took my 98,000 mile '15 V-6 to dealer for them to correct the mound of recalls, transmission whine and cam cover leak. The trans will whine when towing and under a load in 5th gear but I can make it whine if I brake hard, then accelerate moderately (cruise at about 60 mph, brake pretty hard down...

    My 2015 V-6 2wd has 91,000 miles on it and the transmission has two issues: 1. when trans is cold, under light acceleration the first time it shifts from 1st to 2nd, engine RPM suddenly jumps up by about 300 RPM, then goes into 2nd gear. Like trans is slipping/flaring. It only does this the...

    Problems wtih RA2

    Have a 2015 and have two issues. One, when the truck was about a year old, the system stopped reading and alerting me of my texts. I called uconnect and they said the phone (galaxy s6) was likely the problem but could not tell me what the problem was. Two years later, same phone, RA2 still...

    Cleaning engine, valves, combustion chambers, etc

    I bought a 3M engine cleaning kit that has a small tube that needs to be securely positioned 1/4" in front of throttle blade to spray cleaner into engine when engine running. Instructions say engine speed needs to be 500 - 1,000 RPM higher than idle and remain at a consistent speed for about...

    Anti-spin install guide?

    I'm getting ready to make my 1 wheel drive truck 2 wd with the Mopar anti-spin. I've searched and have not found any info on the carrier bearing side adjusters. I've done carrier/gear swaps on GM and Ford 8.8, but they use shims, not the adjusters. If I remove the factory carrier that's...

    Uconnect 5.0 microphone gain?

    I have a 2015 with the Uconnect 5.0. When I'm on the phone, unless I move the seat way forward and uncomfortably upright, people often have a hard time hearing me when the truck is moving at a good pace on the highway (65 - 70 mph). My old truck, with aftermarket bluetooth, had a very nice...

    2015 V-6 Gas detonation/ping/spark knock

    Pre-ignition, etc. Whatever you want to call it, mine has it. 2015 crew with the 3.6 gas V-6. I drive the truck very easy, but occasionally have to pull out in front of traffic. When the engine is hot, and trans upshifting at 5K, when it hits 2nd gear, it knocks badly. I've tried different...

    Did a little rust-proofing

    I meant to do this the first day I bought my truck, but you know how that goes. I wanted to add corrosion protection to my truck since I plan on keeping it a long time. I protected areas that typically rust first. Here is what I did: 1. I washed the inside/bottom of the bed/fender area...

    GPS does not stick to windshield on RAM but does on my car

    This is a mystery. I have a new Garmin with a bigger suction cup Garmin sent after the original one would not hold the GPS to the windshield. So, the GPS stays in place for between 2 and 10 minutes, then detaches from the windshield. I've cleaned the windshield with a store-bought...
