    Key fob problem

    On my 2014 Tradesman. Sometimes when I turn my fob to start I get a message saying “wrong key fob” and nothing happens. If I turn it back to the off position and then try to restart, the truck will start. This is one of the original key fobs for this truck. What is happening? Is my fob going...

    Legitimate company or not

    I’m needing to replace the complete rear end in my truck. I’ve found a rear end with my ratio and a price I’m willing to pay but I need to know if they are really a legitimate company. Does anyone know how to tell other than the Better Business Bureau? I’ve looked the company up on their site...

    Noise while driving

    I have a whining/screaming noise coming from my truck. I can’t determine where it is coming from. I know it isn’t engine related because it doesn’t change sound with rpm only speed. It makes the noise going down the road and if I coast in neutral the noise only changes as speed decreases. I...

    Coolant mixture

    I just replaced the water pump on my 2014 5.7 1500. I refilled it with distilled water and have driven for a week watching the coolant level and checking for leaks. No leaks and no loss. Now I’m ready to pull the petcock and drain the radiator. My question is, if I refill it with concentrate...

    Coolant loss

    I noticed my 2014 Tradesman is loosing coolant somewhere. I’ve refilled the overflow bottle twice in a month. I haven’t had a chance to look around for a leak but none is hitting the driveway and none in my oil. Is there somewhere common on these trucks that coolant leaks from. My water pump...

    Radiator flush

    What is the best radiator flush for these trucks? I’m asking because I think my heater core might be stopped up. I’m thinking this because I don’t get good heat from the heater once the truck is warmed up and one of the heater hoses is much warmer than the other. I don’t know why it would be...

    Ignition switch?

    Is the ignition switch used with remote start? The reason I’m asking is because I’m having intermittent starting problems. Sometimes the truck will start normally when the key is turned to start and other times it clicks a few times before starting and other times I have to cycle off and on...
