    2012 2500 CTD Power Steering help

    Need some part numbers help and I figured the Forum was as good as any place to ask. I have a serious leak in one of the high pressure lines in my power steering/power brake system. MOPAR has screwed everyone with a truck older than 2013 by not making parts any more, the high pressure lines...

    2012 FOBIC range

    I'm back after an extended health vacation. I haven't run my truck for 8-9 months while I've been recovering. I have gone out at least once a week and started it up and let it run until the engine was well heated (200'F) so I know the batteries are good and all the electronics should be. A...

    Need a couple of parts

    I need the two rubber bushings for my manual, on-the-floor transfer case shifter. The bushings that go between the shifter and the transfer case lever. Who is the best dealer on RamForum to ask about these? I'm a fan of Geno's but their bushings are noted for a cable-shift. MoParParts...

    Garage build - Lots of pics

    OK, here is my new Man Cave in living color! The story behind it is that it was simply less expensive to build it than to keep paying rent on a commercial warehouse of roughly the same size. Over the past couple of years they just kept jacking their rates up and up to the point of being...

    I have a 2012 2500 ST... Does anyone know if the tailgate lock harness is already run to the back of the truck or do I need to buy the harness and install it? My tailgate was stolen from the dealer's lot before I picked it up so they replaced it and I found it had the power lock mechanism...

    Dash console Aux Switch "RAM" insert

    I have not been able to find the "RAM" insert that goes in the lower Aux Switch hole on my '12 2500. If anyone has a part number and source I would appreciate the help. I am going to try and model the insert with the same back-side features as the actual Aux Switch module. 3-D print it, have...

    OK, so I'm doing some work on my (new to me) used '12 RAM 2500... I pull the grille off and find that the radiator/AC/cooling units are almost completely occluded with Texas dust/dirt/mud/bugs... Does anyone recommend a cleaning solution I can spray on the coils to loosen up the crud so I can...

    What the heck??

    One of the universals in my front drive shaft recently failed, taking the CV post with it. No biggie, it happens. I pulled the driveshaft and took it to a shop for a total rebuild. Here's where things get weird... With the front driveshaft in place, I was getting a good solid average upper...

    Factory trailer brake connectors

    OK, I -did- actually look through the forums and can't find a positive answer so I'll ask it here... In other forums there was the mention of there being TWO 4-pin connectors for the factory trailer brake controller. One grey, the other blue. I'm wondering now if they were saying a blue...

    Dyed fuel vs "road fuel"

    I've been noticing a few threads where people are talking about being caught with dyed fuel in their trucks. I do know the difference between dyed (non-taxed) and clear (road taxed) fuel. My question is why is anyone even worrying about it? Here in Florida I've never even been looked at as...

    2500 rear driveshaft carrier bearing

    OK, so my truck is making a popping noise when I put it into reverse. Crawl up under it and give the driveshaft a good shake... Carrier bearing has about 1/4" of slop in it. Time to drop the shaft and take it to the shop... Do I ask for Timken, DEA, or Mopar? I'm tempted to go with Timken...

    Front drive shaft bolts

    Does anyone know what tool to use on the front drive shaft bolts of a 2012 Ram 2500 diesel? They look like a Torx but all of the Torx bits that I have are either too small or too large. Did Dodge pull a fast one and use some propriatory tool? Thanks!
