    6.4 Hemi Overheated

    Was sitting in the trailer line waiting to unload at our local fair and I noticed the A/C wasn't cooling as well as it should. I figured it was because we were idling in a parking lot in 96 degree heat, so I turned on the recirculate and kept doing what I was doing. A few minutes later it...

    A/C not as cool at idle

    Anyone else’s truck blow cool, but not cold when idling? Mine is nice and cold when driving, but it seems to struggle at idle. Just wondering if it’s normal or if there’s a problem starting to form. Honestly I cant remember if it did this last year or not, but this 107 degree heat got me sweating.

    Check Engine Light

    I keep getting a CEL and a “very small leak” evap code (I don’t remember the exact number code). I have replaced everything that is normally the culprit of this code, and even had the thing smoke tested, but cant keep the code from going away. I had a thought recently and wanted to bounce it...

    My wife’s uncle just bouth a 3rg gen cummins and not a month later the transmission pooped out on him. Truck had around 150k. They took it to a reputable repair shop and they said nothing good about that trans. They also said “They ALL”, meaning any Dodge transmission, go out around 150-180k...

    tie rod ends?

    Recently I replaced the front shocks on my 2015 2500 4wd, and I immediately noticed a clunking sound in the front end that wasnt there before. I thought I had left a shock loose, but that wasnt the case. I crawled underneath and began shaking things down, and so far have found that my steering...

    Cargomaxx HD on 2500

    Been working my truck pretty hard, and a lot more often over the last couple of years. Put the new bed on it and added bags to help reduce sag when towing or hauling, but it just didn’t seem stout enough, especially lately having to haul hay this fall. My father-in-law keeps saying I just need...

    Preventing Battery saver mode

    I have an electric over hydraulic pump on my truck to operate a hydraulic hay spear, and when operating the spear, my truck goes into battery saver mode. At first it didnt do anything to the truck except idle it up, but now I am noticing that it is turning my radio off every now and then when in...

    Looking to see if there are any tips or tricks to changing the plugs out on a 6.4 Hemi. Pretty used to working on old Chevys, and I know Fords have some tricks to getting the plugs out. Just wondering if there's anything to the Hemi, like change them hot/cold, need a certain tool, remove this...

    4wd shifter retainer???

    What do you call the part I need to fix this? Noticed this weekend that I had a LOT of slop in my 4wd shifter. Crawled underneath to check it out and noticed that the arm that connects the shifter to the t-case was barely hanging on. Looks like it needs a bushing or retainer that is missing...

    2015 2500 will not take fuel

    had an evap code for a small leak appear a week or so ago, and now a “Check Gas Cap” light on the dash. Went to fill up tonight and fuel would not go in like it should. Would take about 1/3 gal or less and the pump clicked off. Thought it was the pump, so tried another one. Even tried 2 other...

    Airlift Gauge Leak

    I installed some and Airlift Load Leveler kit on the back of my truck in February, and they helped tremendously since putting the new flatbed on, especially when towing or hauling. Problem now is that I have developed a leak in the system, and after spraying down the entire system with soapy...

    Slow roll squeak

    Noticed today that my truck is making a cyclical faint squeak sound when I slow roll it. Noticed it when I was easing down the driveway. It is dependent on speed and does not change with the cycling of the suspension (bumps). The sound is like wet tennis shoes on a hardwood or tile floor. Not...

    My Handle is Accurate Again!!!

    Finally got my bed on. Had built a bed for this truck a couple years ago and decided that there were things about it I didn’t like so went back to stock, but always wanted to go back with another flatbed. Had an incident involving a round bale of hay and the insurance company helped finance the...

    Aftermarket Hydraulic Remote Routing

    For those of you who run anything hydraulic on your rig, I need some input. I have a 12v hydraulic pump going on my new flatbed setup to run the hydraulic hay spear built into the bed. I have everything set up to plumb in on the bed, but I cant figure out where t run the hydraulic remote so that...

    Scrubbing sound at full lock

    Ive noticed over the last couple of weeks that when I turn to full lock in reverse that my front end makes a scrubbing type sound, like the tire is rubbing the fender liner, but its not actually rubbing anything. I havent had this issue before, and I havent changed anything suspension or tire...

    Tire Question

    I am looking around at some different tire options, and these tires called Ironman All-Country MT keep coming up in my search. I am looking for a reliable A/T tire that will perform well off-road, but also has good road manners. I am running the Cooper ST Maxx now, and have been fairly pleased...

    Leather dash vs not

    I bought a gauge pod for my A-pillar, but apparently I bought the one for the leather dash, which I dont have. I didn’t think it would make much difference but apparently it does. I can trim the bottom to fit, but I am concerned about the grab handle on the factory pillar. Just wondering if...

    Aftermarket airbags????

    Going to put another flatbed back on the truck, but this time a hybrid utility/farm bed with a hydraulic hay spear. After hauling hay at night I realize that my truck squats quite a bit with the factory bed and the hay bale (as was evident from my headlights blinding oncoming traffic), so im...

    Dually wheels on 2500 axel

    Ok, I know the dually conversion conversation has been beat to death, however, in my searching, I have not seen anyone talk about running dually wheels on a 2500 axel WITHOUT spacers. So, here’s my question. Been wanting another flatbed for a while, and this time I want some recessed (built...

    Mystery sound underneath. HELP!

    My 15 2500 has this mystery sound that is plaguing me. It is very prevalent when going slow over rough terrain, and only present when coasting (as far as I can tell). I have searched and searched and cannot find the source of the noise. It sounds like a bump and rattle (at fort I thought it was...

    Death Wobble Causes

    I have had my truck since 2016 and have close to 92k miles on it. Been running the same tires for the last couple of years and never had any problems. But, the last 2 times I have driven a particular road, in the same spot I have experienced severe death wobble. Been driving all over the state...

    100K tune-up must do?

    My truck is rolling on about 95K miles, and having swapped the plugs in my wife's Ford Edge Ecoboost today (114K), Im in the mood and thinking about what I need for my 100K tune-up. What else do you guys recomend beyond just the plugs? I know on older trucks there was a laundry list of parts to...

    Another cutout question

    I know there are hundreds, if not thousands of threads on here asking about cutouts. But, none that I have found are relevant to what I need to ask. I have a 6.4 Hemi with a modified 3.5" tailpipe. I am NOT running the stock setup, as I bought my truck used and the previous owner had a hack-job...
