    Need info on P2600 code

    I've noticed my 2018 3.6 has been slow to warm up. My first thought was a weak thermostat and I put off fixing it for a while since it would eventually reach temperature and the trans and oil temp readings were OK. But eventually the check engine light came on and I expected to find a P0128...

    Does the base model 2018 Tradesman radio have a separate amp?

    My 2018 Tradesman has the "radio 3.0" without a touchscreen. It does have Bluetooth. I use it with an add-on Sirius XM tuner connected through the Aux port and this setup has worked just fine for the past 3 years. Lately I've started to lose sound out of the left side speakers after driving a...

    Do Tradesmans have heavier springs?

    My 18 Tradesman QC is rides a little rougher than I'd like. I was wondering if the springs in the upper trim levels might have a smoother ride.

    2018 recall for rear axle fluid level

    Got a recall letter from FCA last week saying some 2018 trucks may have an inadequate level of oil in the rear axle. If the dealer finds the level is too low they replace the rear axle. Symptoms would be a noise or whine. I crawled under my truck the day I got the letter and popped off the...

    Sold my 2012 Express and I made out OK

    I bought a 2012 Express regular cab in August 2012. The truck had a window sticker of just over $27k and I got a sweet deal of $20k when I bought it. True Blue with power accessories and a brake controller w/EVIC and LSD. It was a very nice truck and I never had any problems. But I had too...

    Want to change the tilt on non power driver seat

    I have a 2012 Express reg. cab and the driver's seat would be more comfortable if the whole base was tilted a little more toward the rear. I thought it might be as simple as unbolting the seat and stacking some washers under the front mounts but the mounting bolts don't look like they work the...

    How do you get inside the front seat backs?

    Posted in the wrong forum, sorry. Maybe the mods can move this to the interior forum. I've got a rattle in the passenger seat when the truck goes over bumps that shake it from side-to-side. How can I get inside the seat back to look around? It doesn't come apart like my last GM truck...

    How bad do the 20" tires hurt performance?

    I like the 20" wheels and tires on my 2012 Express regular cab but the truck seems kind of slow for 390 hp. I've had this same motor in a 300 and a Challenger and those were both fast. I realize the Ram is about 500 lbs heavier but it feels slow even accounting for the weight. Are the 20"...

    How to remove lower cupholders (no console)

    I want to remove the center lower cupholders in my 2012 Express. I don't have a center console and this model has a large fold-down cupholder in the bottom center of the dash. It operates a little like the lower glovebox but the sides aren't flexible and I don't think you squeeze the sides the...

    I guess I won't get a ticket for spinning the tires

    After putting a few hundred miles on my new 2-door Express I found a safe place, came to a stop, turn off the traction control and mashed the gas to the floor. It was a little weaker off the line than I expected and didn't come close to spinning the 20" tires. It's not that big of a deal for...

    Can I get a printed copy of the owner's manual?

    When I bought a new Jeep this past winter there was a phone number listed where a new owner could get a printed copy of the full 400+ page owner's manual. I got it in a few days after making the call. I just bought a new 2012 Ram pickup this past weekend and I would like to get a full...

    Is there a way to get a digital speed display in the EVIC?

    My first post here. I bought a 2012 express this weekend and I like the truck but sometimes the steering wheel blocks my view of the speedometer needle. In my Chevy Cruze it's possible to set the electronic display on a page that shows the vehicle speed in nice big numbers. Is there a way to...
