    HELP! 2020 Ecodiesel Engine Failure

    There are plenty of post on the various RAM forums of these trucks getting 300K or more. My 2016 has over 100K and is still going strong. So, it does work if not abused and is maintained. This comment is not directed at the OP.

    Troubleshooting Backup Lights

    It turns out the light fits a bit loose. If I hit a big bump, the light moves enough that it loses connection. I pulled the tail light and removed the socket. I got it to work and it went out whilst reinstalling it. I put a bit of tape on the edge and for now it works. Fingers crossed. Won't buy...

    Troubleshooting Backup Lights

    Thanks! That didn't work. However, plugging in the seatbelt did work (along with setting the emergency brake and chocking the tires).

    Troubleshooting Backup Lights

    I installed two LED backup lights. The previous LED lights had died. One works, the other does not. My challenge is the friggin' truck shifts to park from reverse (even with the emergency brake set) when you get out of it and then, of course, no power goes to the backup lights. Is there a...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I haven't seen it on any packages. If it is available, they hide it well.

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    #1 - I have the #1 spot programmed to the zero channel. That works until you bump the controls on the back of the steering wheel. I'll try the volume on 1. BUT ... it would be so simple to add an off option - just stupid that they don't IMHO. #2 - I don't see it as an option on any of the...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    #1 pet peeve - you can't turn the radio off! Mute is not sticky and the radio turns on when you start the truck #2 pet peeve - no option for a telescoping steering wheel. This sucks for tall guys.

    First budget (sorta) off-road RAM

    I'm in a similar boat as the OP. I only run mild to moderate stuff here in the east (mostly rock trails). I have the recommended items above. Check with the folks you regularly run with and get whatever radio they are using CB/FRS/GMRS. A cheap handheld works for starters. I've been running...

    PID Error Code P46AB

    all my recalls and "campaigns" are done including the EGR cooler and performance. My dealer has been a pretty decent operation and treated me well so far.

    PID Error Code P46AB

    isn't that what the Torque app does?

    PID Error Code P46AB

    I had the engine light come on a few days ago. After restarting the truck a few times, it went out. Per Torque, the error code was P46AB. I can't find that error code anywhere. Anyone know what it means other than go to the dealer?

    Uconnect 8.4 & 8.4an update - 17.11.07

    no email. truck updated. no issues so far. I was praying they were psychic and added an "off" button for the radio {sigh} still no off button.

    Uconnect 8.4 & 8.4an update - 17.11.07

    I'm sympathetic to your problems but those issues are hardly RAM's fault. The previous owner's upgrade is the issue. I can't blame RAM for that.

    Uconnect 8.4 & 8.4an update - 17.11.07

    I have software version 16.33.29. I also have drag/drop icons, XM album art on the screen, etc. Best I can tell I have everything that the upgrade is supposed to offer. Not sure what the deal is.

    Uconnect 8.4 Pet Peeve

    It irritates me to know end that there is no radio off button. The mute button isn't persistent meaning when you turn the truck back on the radio comes back on. My solution was to set the XM preset #1 to station 0 which shows the radio serial number. BUT ... if you hit one of the steering...

    Door Lock Delay

    same problem. it is quite intermittent. Sometimes it locks immediately and sometimes it doesn't lock at all when I press the button on the armrest. It isn't serious enough for me to go to the dealer over.

    How to Add Automatic Temperature Control (ATC) to a Manual Temperature Control Truck

    correct. I did precisely that. I have a factory 8.4 with nav. I recommend their cable. It is well made and a perfect fit.
