    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    Makes sense. I thought they were going to use the hotspot connected to 8.4. Auto companies are so behind on tech, they wouldn't be able to do it. It's only things they can control over the OBD port.

    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    Has anyone been able to get the 4G adapter updated? I've tried the update 10 different times, but no luck. On the 8.4 app section, it says that I'm not subscribed. I'm paying the $9.99 a month. Only thing works is find my vehicle and the 2GB hotspot.

    2014 Power steering failure (intermittent)

    I started to have this issue in early March. At first it was intermittent. Then it was every time I started the truck. On occasion, I could drive a few miles, turn off the truck, wait a few minutes, restart, and it would work. I took it to the dealer last week. They are going to replace the...

    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    I keep getting that email. I did the procedure, but I didn't leave the truck on for an hour. Did you need to have the engine running (not just on)?

    Best Tires for Ram 1500?

    How do the Michelin LTXs compare to the BF Goodrich T/A K02? I have the BFs now. I mainly got them for the LT rating and towing a travel trailer. They have about 45k on them and they need to be replaced. I did tow 20k with them, so that may have contributed to wear. They have been great tires...

    BFGoodrich KO2's

    I have them now. I have about 45k on them and they need to be replaced. I did tow 20k with them, so that may have contributed to wear. They have been great tires. Only downfall is a little extra noise and loss of MPG. I mainly got them to have LT tires for a 32' Travel Trailer. The stock...

    Core Control arms and towing.

    I would look at tires. What tires do you have (hopefully LT)?

    Core Control arms and towing.

    I called Core and asked a few questions. I ended up ordering the rear lower control arms with the brake bracket welded on. I had some concern about the rear upper control arms meshing with the factory air suspension. He (Spence) said it could be done, but for onroad use the uppers might not be...

    Core Control arms and towing.

    Are the control arms beneficial in daily use? I don't really do any offroading or racing of the truck. I'm trying to justify the cost of the control arms. At some point, I'll sell the travel trailer.

    Core Control arms and towing.

    I've got the Hellwig Sway Bar, Factory Air suspension, and LT tires for towing. I tow a 32' trailer (~6000lbs). In heavy winds, I feel a little waggle in the rear. I don't really think it's sway. I set up my WDH based on a CAT scale. I've towed it about 18,000 miles now.

    Core Control arms and towing.

    Are there other options besides Core Control?

    Towing speeds.

    I get problems with people riding up my tail when I tow. This happens on two lane roads in TX. The speed limit is 75 in most areas. Initially, I would keep it at 65 (stock trailer tires). When upgraded the trailer tires, the speed rating went up to 81 and load went up to a range to D (Carlisle...

    What is your tire pressure BF Goodrich all terrain ko2

    What are you towing? That's probably a good compromise. Anything about 50 starts to get rough.

    What is your tire pressure BF Goodrich all terrain ko2

    I've been running mine around 45 psi unloaded. I think this has been discussed before. Based on a previous thread, I lowered mine. I started with them high (55), but they ride rough. The truck felt jumpy over small bumps in the road. When towing, I have been running them at 52 psi.

    Royal Purple Oil Filter?

    With the Mopar filter, I had to take two hands to get it to stop leaking. The WIX doesn't leak when hand tightened with one hand.

    Royal Purple Oil Filter?

    Has anyone had any issues with leaks on the Royal Purple filter? The few times I used a Mopar filter, it leaked after 1-2k. It would loosen itself up. I have since used both the WIX 57060 and 57060XP. The WIX doesn't leak like the Mopar. I have been thinking about the RP, since it looks like the...

    8 speed maint schedule?

    How is your tranny getting so hot? I tow in really hot temperatures in the summer. Most of the time, I'm at 170-180.

    Fuel ecenomy when towing?

    Just got back from a trip to Colorado (from Central Texas). I got good MPG on the way out with mostly calm winds (10 MPG). On the way back, I was towing into a 20-30mph wind. I was getting somewhere around 7 MPG. For the overall trip, I got around 8 MPG.

    Pedal Commander

    Is the improvement mostly off of the line? I tow a 32' Travel Trailer. I start to notice it more with wind resistance, rather than off the line (above 50mph).

    Engine oil temps reached 272 and now the hemi tick

    I agree. I thought about an oil cooler, but I was concerned about keeping the oil temp down. I read an article from Caroll Shelby and he stated the optimal temp is 213 to 248.

    Engine oil temps reached 272 and now the hemi tick

    I realized it was an air flow issue on a trip to Colorado last year. My clutch fan got stuck, so it was spinning at full speed. This happened when I shut down the engine while hot. I was climbing in northern NM and the temps were about 230 for oil and 195 for engine temps for hours. The clutch...

    Engine oil temps reached 272 and now the hemi tick

    I've thought about, but I don't tow all of the time. I'm worried that I would forget to disable MDS and have normal driving issues.

    Recommended oil weight. I'm running Pennzoil Platinum 5w20.

    Need More Power

    I always run 89 while towing when available. I did run 88 once in Colorado. From what I've read, you should run the recommended octane even at altitude with a fuel injected engine. You should only go down with a carbed engine. I get about 9.5 MPG on my long trips towing a 6000lb, 32' travel...

    Engine oil temps reached 272 and now the hemi tick

    What grille do you have on the front of your Ram? I have the Lone Star edition and the grille seems to be very restrictive. I went with the open Chrome (I think Longhorn grille) and it helped a lot. I need to tow west, but my engine temps and oil temps seem to be lower with this grille. I got...
