    Re-keying the driver door

    Thanks! Nobody told me matching sets are available, I had just assumed they would be. I had hoped to only get a locksmith involved when it same time to program the new key to the truck. I had hoped to get a new cylinder and a couple matching keys before that time came. When you get a new...

    Fuel pump cutting out

    Closing notes: Ultimately my issue was the fuel pump relay embedded in the TIPM, which, according to anyone you ask, is a real common problem :). It finally showed a hard failure; something I could really troubleshoot. The fuse showed no voltage, and since that’s after the relay, that’s all I...

    Fuel pump cutting out

    That sounds crazy to me. My truck is obviously acting that way, so I don’t have much to argue with. What do you mean “kill it for good”?

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I could add a kill switch to the fuel pump too. Yes I meant relay.

    Fuel pump cutting out

    But 11.5V? I hear what you’re saying, it’s just that 11.5 seems a very high threshold to me.

    Fuel pump cutting out

    So this is a weird one. 2011 2500 5.7. Been running great ever since overhaul some 4 years ago. It just started this wierd behavior where it seems like the fuel pump won’t run if system voltage drops below 11.5. Has anyone run into this? Symptoms would be: cold morning no start. Starter motor...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I got a club, I am now removing the start solenoid every night, and I hid an apple air tag in there. If he’s coming back, it’s going to take him awhile to steal it again, and I’ll find him soon thereafter. A little time is all I’d need. Plus, I’m pretty sure we all know, we don’t have to keep...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I’m definitely doing the kill switch thing. These clowns might come back.

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Well I got it back. The tank was damn near empty, but no mechanical damage that I can see. None at all. Lots of shoplifted stuff in the back seat, and they were doing some **** or fentanyl too. It’s now in the detail shop for a deep clean / disinfect. I attached a couple pics of the foil that...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I have some news! I just heard the truck was recovered in Wheat Ridge, CO (about 30-40 minutes from me). I called the towing company and they’re going to get it from the local PD right now. They can’t tell me anything about it until it gets to the towing company. This last hour of waiting is...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I only have (had) liability and medical. That thing was go ugly I never thought it would get stolen. I thought I was safe. I was obviously naive. I have theft on my other cars, just not that one.

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    I just talked to a friend of mine who is in law enforcement. I asked him if I should start on getting another truck or should I wait. Just assuming mine is long gone. He said to wait. He said newer fancier trucks get chopped for parts, but older trucks like mine usually get used in the...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Here’s my story. The truck was stolen on Wednesday. That morning, I went to the shop to do some work and get my mind off of this. I’m a mechanic and have my own business. Anyway, about 10:30, my bank calls and asks me if I wrote a check to a guy for “equipment reimbursement”. I said that doesn’t...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    No, the keys were in the house. Still are. It’s possible I forgot to lock the doors when I parked it, but I don’t have anything like a hide-a-key anywhere.

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Thanks RamDiver. There’s nothing I can do about where I park it. I can’t build another garage for it. So, before I get another one (I’ll get a junker from Copart and fix er up), I’m going to install motion sensing lighting and cameras. I do wonder if one could get a key fob like device that...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    So, with a slim Jim and a laptop these guys can just drive off? Nice. That’s what I wanted to know. Thanks!

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    Granted, I didn’t hear the ********* make off with it, so there’s that, but I really don’t think a tow truck would have gone unnoticed. It would have had to have been a rollback, because the truck was backed in. Just putting a stinger under the front wheels would have caused the rears to drag...

    Can our trucks be hot wired?

    My 2011 5.7 was just stolen the other day, right out of my driveway. I live right on a busy street, and car thefts are on the rise. The Sheriff deputy I’m working with says thrives are getting more and more bold, and I’m just the latest victim. Anyhow, on to my question. Can these trucks be hot...

    2011 2500 WIN module failure

    Hi folks, It comes as no surprise to me that my win module failed, but what does surprise me is how it failed. What happened is, about a month ago, I removed my dash to replace the evaporator core. When I put it all back together, my key fob was suddenly harder to put in and pull out. Same goes...

    Removing dash. What else should I change

    It's been about a week, and I'm still cooling, so I'm assuming all is well as far as the pressure goes. The evap was nasty, like plugged up with dust and who knows what else. But it was definitely leaking. The blend door seems to be functioning properly. I installed a Oreilleys fan motor, and it...

    Removing dash. What else should I change

    Thanks guys. I did watch the videos. I have the 5.7, so one stud holding the AC box to the firewall was behind the ECU. Took me awhile to find it. I got everything apart, and yes I'm replacing the fan motor and wheel as well. There is green goo all over my evap core (dye from the r134). I bet it...

    Removing dash. What else should I change

    Hey folks, I’m pulling my dash today to replace the evaporator. I’m wondering if there is anything else “while you’re in there” that I should change? I understand the blend door can be problematic, so I’m thinking swap that out too. Is there anything else I should swap out? This is going to be...

    2011 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 5.7 windows / door locks inop

    I can tell you that the rears are much more straightforward as far as wiring goes. Chances are, you have a broken wire somewhere. This forum is not useful for technical matters (not for me anyway). If you want to know what plastic gonads or spinner rims to buy, this is the place. But, for...
