    2001 ram 1500 5.2l

    If the gas cap is not the culprit (it never was the source of the evap leak on my 2001), get your system smoke tested. The Meineke in Greensboro did mine and found the leak in the hoses between the evap canisters that the dealership from almost day one of it being brand new couldn't/wouldn't find.

    Intro

    Welcome to the forum, fellow Master Sergeant, from a former shirt. I still hate the new stripes. Looks like Senior Tech Sergeant.

    01 Ram Clicking under dash, passenger side

    Unfortunately, I think you will at least have to rotate it down to get to the ductwork. I took mine to the dealer to have it repaired so I can't say for certain. I think that was after I had replaced the upper dash pad by myself, and I wasn't about to do that again or replace the heater core...

    01 Ram Clicking under dash, passenger side

    Just a guess on my part, but I'd say it's either the actuator or the blend door or both. I had both replaced in my 2001 because the part of the door that the actuator connected to had broken off.

    Delaminating 8.4" Display U-Connect 4

    Hmmm, a 2019 8.4 delaminating. I thought that was only a 2018 radio problem. I wonder if they had an overage of 2018 radios and put them in the 2019 trucks.

    5th Gen HD Head Restraint in a 4th Gen Ram

    Good to know. But can you now tilt your head back to drink a bottle of water? That was the biggest reason I moved my rear headrest to the driver's seat. Plus, the back of the brim of my cowboy hats was hitting the top of it. That wasn't as much of a problem because I hardly wear my hat in...

    Tesla Trucks rusting

    Wait a minute. I can't get past the part that someone actually bought one of these.

    Whining noise while coasting

    Check the pinion gear on the rear diff. I had the same whine when coasting on my 2001 1500, but I didn't know if it was the rear end or a rear wheel bearing. Then, one day I came to a stop at a red light and a blue cloud of smoke passed the cab. Luckily, I could see the Aamco that did my...

    New to Ram trucks

    Welcome! Lemme know if you see my dad driving my old 1500 around Karns.

    Reprogramming a new fob

    OP, you might want to think about getting all the lock cylinders repinned/replaced, too, because someone has the key to the doors now.

    Bumpers & Tail Gates?

    I was going to say LMC Truck, but Stavinski beat me to it. I ordered a grille for my 2001 1500, and they instead sent me a chrome rear step bumper for a mid-70s Chevy truck so they must be good with bumpers, too.

    Emergency door release???

    A sticker's not a good idea. The transmission release can be used to steal a vehicle if the thief has a rollback and a winch. A good thief already knows it's there, but they may be making their own key fob instead. No sense telling the bad ones about it with a sticker. One company sells a...

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

    It may be white road paint. I got yellow road paint all over the side of my 2001 1500 while driving through a construction zone on I-25. No road painting sign anywhere. I was able to remove most of it at a high pressure car wash, but it took a lot of quarters.

    Maximum Gb for USB Media

    That's one of the many things that have irked me with these radios. Not a bit of info in the truck owner's manual or the UConnect manual about flash drive or filetype requirements or how to make the playlists and cover art to work. 32 GB flash drives have worked for me, too. Got all my CDs on...

    `98 Ram with 256K - These repairs look about right?

    I'm surprised ball joints aren't on the list. The 2nd gens are notorious for going through them, especially with your mileage. Aside from the front end parts, are you still running the original timing chain?

    FCA Warranty Info regarding Leak from third brake/cargo light

    Wow, it's only been a problem since the 2nd Gens. Maybe next they'll fix the intake plenum, remove the death flash, and rebuild all the 46REs.

    Spots on my Bezel

    I believe there were some threads here a couple of years ago about replacing original gauge trims in EVICs with Rebel gauges, and there were instructions on taking the bezel off the EVIC. Try searching with some of those keywords.

    Rear Camera Recall

    Gee, something else UConnect has screwed up?

    '99 1500 5.9L - hissing & rough idle a few minutes afer startup - with Video

    My first guess is the air filter housing not tight on the throttle body. That used to get me almost every time I had it off, but it would run rough right at startup and throw a code.

    2001 1500 shortbed 161,000mi should I buy it?

    First, check that engine info again. 2001 1500s came with the 3.9L V-6, 5.2L and 5.9L V-8s. The 5.9L had an intake plenum problem of leaking oil. I've read about cracks in the heads between the valves, but I didn't have a need to open mine up. My (now my dad's) 5.9L has over 330k miles and...

    SOS Stopping Ghost Touching

    Mine just started the ghost touches two weeks ago, but it doesn't happen all the time. Yesterday, I figured out that there are three or four spots the touches happen. If yours isn't happening all the time, when your screen is behaving, find a screen that doesn't have a "button" where the...

    I-70 Loveland Pass

    I've driven the I-70 route from Denver to Silverthorne and back a couple of times in a 40k lb. semi and a bunch of times from Denver to Vegas and back in my old 1500 not towing anything. The rule of thumb in the semi was use the same gear going down the other side as you did going up if you...

    Looking to do Evic swap

    IIRC from my EVIC search, some time in the 2014MY run, they changed the TPMS frequency so if your truck is newer, you'd need an EVIC with the new freq. And I think it was in 2016, they added more splash screens for the 7" EVICs. I think those were the only things to worry about when I upgraded...

    2001 Dashboard replace or cover.

    I replaced the upper dash pad in my old 2001 that my dad now has. I thought of using a cover instead, but after thinking about it, I chose the replacement. Those original dashes are just going to continue cracking and pieces falling inside if you use a cover. Eventually, there'll be little...
