    Does the center console have to be removed?

    I’ve got to replace the HVAC controls due to busted volume knob, and I’ve unscrewed the two at the top, two at the bottom, and the one above the outlet. I can pull straight back and it disconnects from the tabs. But it still seems stuck toward the bottom, and won’t tilt out. I’m thinking I’ve...

    Oil Catch Can with Mopar MAXCARE warranty claim

    I've got our 2016 5.7 1500 in for an oil leak, and the service advisor just called me to say it's the intake manifold. He said no problem, we'll order a new manifold and cover it under your Maxcare warranty. Then he says, "I see you have a oil catch can on there... I'm not going to say for...

    Dealer put in purple coolant, had orange?

    I have a 2016 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 at 90,000 miles, and I’m certain it had orange coolant in it since factory because I checked it last week. We are preparing for a camping trip to Yellowstone in a couple weeks and I had the dealer do a coolant flush last week. I checked today and noticed it...

    Future long camping trip planned, general fuel question weighing regular vs premium

    Good day all! We just had a successful camping trip over the weekend up and down the Ozark hills of Missouri pulling our travel trailer, and I realized before leaving I filled the tank with 87, when I usually fill with 91 before hauling. I didn't really notice any difference in performance...

    2016 trailer hook up electrical problems

    We just bought a camper we're going to use in 2 weeks. Coming home from purchasing, we tested the lights, blinkers, brakes and the only thing that would work was the running lights. The display didn't even detect the trailer was connected for brakes (that made me pucker). I have a voltage...

    Will changing exhaust manifold bolts void my warranty?

    Just as the title says... I have 25,000 miles on my truck and although I don't have any problems with manifold bolts breaking, I don't want any problems in the future.
