    Broken Win Module 2011 Ram 1500

    I bought the preprogrammed WIN module, came with two key fobs. It wasn't cheap, but works as advertised and saved a trip to the dealer. It took about 5 min to install. Bought from: https://www.autotechelectronic.com//win-module-kits/

    Bunch of new steering parts, still have a clunk in the wheel...

    Check EMF YouTube for steering shaft issue. You can buy $1 plastic bushing at hardware store and do the same thing and tighten your steering significantly... I did that as a temp fix, still works great 2 years later.

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    Were you able to get the new WIN programmed? I am about to replace my WIN and debating which route to go: $900 preprogrammed WIN, or having a dealer install/program a new WIN, or purchasing/installing installing myself, if there is a way to program it with AlfaOBD...

    Starting to look for a TT, a little (basic) help, please!

    You can look at the sticker on your door or put your vin in, on the Ram website to see your Payload. That will be your limiting factor. It's probably around 1200 lbs. Subtract yourself, your passengers and anything that wasn't in the truck from the factory and that's what you have left for...

    Are $1k worth dealer recommended services not in the manual a scam?

    Scam, especially at that price.

    Towing Capacity Charts

    As long as tire's load rating is sufficient and your tire size is close (ie. not 37s or 40s)l, I wouldn't think twice about it.

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    Any update on this? Curious, as I need to replace my WIN module too.

    Cummins vs. ecodiesel

    That's not the normal use case, and a grain wagon is not like most trailers, in that it doesn't transfer payload weight to the tow vehicle. With a conventional trailer you would be looking at 3000lbs pushing down on the hitch, which is way over payload, as well as (3x) over what the hitch...

    Another request for help on choosing a tow vehicle

    (FYI- remember, I have same trailer as you) I needed an Anderson 8" (adjustable) drop for my Anderson no-sway weight distribution hitch. I originally had a 4" adjustable drop hitch for my Nissan Titan, and then used it on a couple short/local trips with the Ram, before getting the "correct"...

    Loose as a goose front end

    Not sure if it has the same steering shaft as a 2500, but if it does, try a bushing on the steering shaft joint just before the firewall, I used a $0.50 plastic 10mm spacer/bushing from the hardware store. Check EMF ball joints website or YouTube page for an explanation or video. They also...

    Rotational squeak

    If it changes or stops when applying the brakes, then it is probably brake related. Try lightly applying the brakes when you hear the sound. I have a very quiet whistle/squeal with my 2500, new brakes (it needed them) didn't change anything, a new hub/bearing (it was borderline) didn't fix it...

    What do y’all think the dealer will/should say?

    I don't they will repair/replace the wheel... but good luck!

    To Trade or Not To Trade

    Financially, it makes no sense to trade it for a new/er truck. It works for your needs, low miles, reliable... Now, if you can afford it, and you just "want" a new truck, then that's just up to you!

    AlfaOBD Support For 06~12 Rams

    I don't think you can reset odometer or hours, at least I couldn't find a way to do it on my early 4th gen. I think it needs to be the later model 4th gens to do it with AlfaOBD.

    Cow Catcher, steel bumpers

    I know they make bumpers for Fire/EMS/LEO. I have a rear bumper for my 2010 2500 from them and it is awesome. I just bought it used this summer and it is still like new, at about 9-10 years old. If I get a front bumper, it will be a Buckstop. But I don't have the Power Wagon aesthetic or...

    Best Mods for Under $100

    I stuck a piece of water pipe insulation on part of the cable, it was about $2 at hardware store. It stopped the cable hang up/pop. EDIT: actually I put the foam on the cylinder itself

    Spark plug change interval?

    I'm not entirely sure, as I've seen some conflicting info, but I have seen reference to the fact that if you upgrade from cooper to iridium, you may need to upgrade the coil packs as well, which is expensive. I'm going to have to figure out the best path forward for my high miles 2010 soon...

    $60 Enay pocket fender flare review

    Were the flares textured or smooth? They look textured, but usually I have seen smooth ones advertised if they are going to be painted. I think I might get some and do a DIY paint job.
