    procal threw my truck into TCM fault- can't move the truck now

    This sounds to me like how the truck reacts with the shift switch doesn’t work properly. I have only ran into this one time but a new shift switch fixed his issue. Now with the procal in place, and a non factory tune, I would look into trying to return that to factory first then see what...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I loaded up a couple of dirt bikes for my son and I and took us to Capitol Forest near Olympia WA. We rode around a few trails and had a good day. His was my son’s first time riding the trails and he did really good. I know it’s not a pic of the truck but it’s the virgin dirt on the first outing...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    It’s a company in Vancouver Canada called Vice Designs. https://www.vicedesign.ca/ They have lighting options to go with the winch mount as well. Check them out. I ordered my mount in the middle of a production run and still got it a week later, fast shipping and about the same price as hidden...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I installed a behind the factory bumper winch mount and a Warn VR8-S winch. Ram should have done this from the factory...

    Nice looking truck... mega cab even. Looks like it's time to change the vehicle data under your name :)

    Factory battery went bad at 32k miles... dealer zero help... anyone else??

    Thankfully you have a decent dealership to work with. The OP's dealer couldn't see the truck for 5 days over a battery? WTF... I can swap a battery in about 10 minutes tops, most of us can... in order to warranty the batt it needed to stay on their tester for 5 hours... also reasonable but for...

    Blow by

    There are a lot of things that engines do that is "normal" but not good. The early GM LT1 engines used teflon valve stem guides that tended to wear out around 15K, lots of heads were replaced in the mid 90's for something that was "normal". In your case it appears that your crankcase...

    Auto Enginuity Bundle- questions before I buy...

    Well I haven't found any tools that will allow me to add my own sales codes to my truck. The RPO codes are all in our BCM already they need to be flagged for use. Problem is if Ram doesn't have your sales code in its database, if you ever get a software flash for any reason you will lose any new...

    Dealership wrecked friend's truck

    Glad no one got hurt but it sounds like something you would see in a Chris Farley movie.

    Running boards 2500 and 1500 same?

    I just installed the black set on my Rebel and it has 3 mounting points. If you ask me the more the merrier as it will displace the weight over more mounting points and therefore cause less fatigue over time. The cabs do not change much over the different weights. When you get to the 4500 and...

    Just picked up my new RAM (2017 Rebel, Black Edition.)

    Those rims and tires are factory. The tread on the tires match the tread pattern in the seat inserts, I love it!

    Dealership issues with a new truck damaged at dealer...

    I'm an ex auto body painter. Since no one has chimed in here I will. There is no reason the film should pull the clear unless it was applied incorrectly. I have sprayed paints from PPG, Dupont and Sikkens and they all have adheasion promoters for plastics, they all have flex additives for the...

    Wanting to change transmission

    Can't be easily done. Can be done with an insane amount of work. The 6 speed had a manual gear select which you choose via a shift lever on the column, the 8 speed is electronic shift only which will require some major wiring changes both inside and outside the truck, the computer will need to...

    Just picked up my new RAM (2017 Rebel, Black Edition.)

    Welcome fellow Rebel. Nice truck. What does the interior look like? I have the red/black leather. My Rebel is the same color as yours outside.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Well Wednesday I got the running boards and put them on as soon as I got home! If anyone out there is doing these on your own, a bit of advise the instructions don't tell you... Use grease not soap as a lube on the nut-sert tool, and also have a wrench on the tool to help prevent the nut-sert...

    Truck Ordered...So Where Is It?

    One big problem that can occur with an order is the shipping. But let's go through things. First if there is a truck already on the assembly line that meets your order, and it is slated for dealer stock and not someone else, you will get that truck... order goes quicker... if not then they...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I mentioned it in an earlier post but I had the factory tow mirrors added to my truck. When they flashed the BCM for the lights in the tow mirrors, the code for the in bed cargo lights was not manually added so they didn't work. Apparently it takes a while after you add a sales code to your vin...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Got the truck in the dealership today. Just what I suspected the BCM was flashed without the bed light code. And for some reason my VIN didn't have the cargo light sales code added. I should be good now, and my lights all work now too.

    SAE J2807 standard & Payload

    Your tow rating is more dependent on what you can control and more importantly how much you can stop. Your payload is different but also related to tongue weight. Your tongue weight reduces what you can haul.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Well I'm not happy. After my mirror installation yesterday my bed lights don't work. Sounds like they are not related right? Well when I had my bed lights added to my truck they had to add a sales code to my truck that would allow the BCM to turn the lights on... they had to also flash my BCM...

    2011 Ram 1500, Auxiliary Switch Panel Wiring

    Sometimes you have to look inside the switch near the base of the pins to see their numbers. If nothing then you would need to find the data sheet for that switch which will give a pin out.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Ok home now. I did a bit of towing today too. Brought my camper home from storage... going camping next weekend. Unfortunately the dealership was not able to locate the running boards I ordered last week, hopefully they show up before we go camping. Here is the pics of the new mirrors.
