    Banks rear diff cover

    I was looking for a Bank's cover for mine as well. Contacted them and they said they don't have one for that particular diff at this time. That was a year ago or more (mid 2022). Mine was only 40K mi so just sucked out the old fluid with a pump and refilled with the new stuff (same with front...

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    I inquired about a factory remote start for my 2019 Tradesman 2500 6.4L, dealer quoted me $1500. Does this seem a but high? When I ordered the truck I thought it came with remote start but when it arrived it did not have it. They may have forgotten to order it... Maybe an aftermarket unit would...

    Tire pressure alarm, switch to PSI from metric?

    2019 2500 Tradesman 6.4L 4X4 Two things.. a) My tire pressure low warning came on the other day for the left rear tire. I had set them all at 45psi. I brought them all up to 50 psi. Left rear still shows low and alarms. Ended up bringing it up to 75 psi before it would stop alarming. the other...

    Need a snow tire recommendation

    I use Blizzaks up north here, work fine from just above freezing down to -30 or so, but that cold ice isn't really that slippery anymore. Separate steel rims for winter tires with no sensors which is a bit if a pain having to check them manually once in a while (Oh the pain!). 3 winters and...

    Driving 2500 with 6 lugs

    #1) Never EVER go back to that shop again, other than for them to give you some new lug studs to replace the broken ones. Don't let them install them. Get someone else to. They are obviously incompetent. #2) re-torque all your wheels. Think on a 2500 they are 130ft/lbs but I am guessing, someone...

    How much of this is really necessary?

    I'm in a dusty area, gravel roads etc, so I change the engine air filter every second oil change and blow it out in between a few times. I just change the cabin air filter every oil change, and it's often quite dirty. Most of these depend on how you drive etc. All standard upselling from the...

    2019 RAM 2500 tailgate won’t open

    Mine just did the same thing, tailgate won't open. Fuse 14 is good, there is power and ground at the tailgate connector. (had to remove the cover on the tailgate to access the "manual" levers to open the tailgate to inspect the connector). There doesn't seem to be power to the connector at the...

    Engine light on, P3449

    Update: Took to dealer this am. Looks like they have to pull the intake manifold to access the intake valve soleniod and connections in order to further diagnose the issue. They are ordering a solenoid and internal harness for the internal part of the circuit. The outer harness is fine. Parts on...

    Looking for company

    I have the dial gear shift on my Ram as well, don't really like it either, but I have somewhat gotten used to it. Yes when in a hurry ai find myself grabbing the radio dial too, but worse.. grabbing the shifter dial instead of the radio. I'm an old gieser though so takes a while to get used to...

    Engine light on, P3449

    I often part outside, but usually park inside an unheated shed/shop overnight when at home. Will look for that harness label.. if it's close to the ECU should be easy to find. Looked around the wiring harnesses for damage couldn't see anything obvious, but it's cold and my glasses fog up when...

    Engine light on, P3449

    My cheap code reader says "cylinder 7 deactivation / intake valve control circuit / open." This is a 2019 2500 Tradesman 6.4L. I don't have a wiring diagram for the vehicle, not sure where to look for a wiring issue. Just came on today after going through a bit of snow heading out of the yard...

    Ham Radio Antenna

    I use the headache rack to mount a VHF/UHF antenna too, actually got the rack so I wouldn't have to worry about drilling a hole in the roof or a magnet scuffing. This way can add an HF whip if I need it later on too. Ran the antenna cable through a rubber plug under the left rear passenger...

    2017 6.4 Low Power ?

    As mentioned above, pull the battery cable (15 minutes should be enough), re-connect and find an open highway and make liberal use of the gas pedal. Might even want to pull off the highway to do the battery disconnect so there is minimum distance to travel from initial start-up to where you can...

    Any former Toyota 4x4 guys here?

    Pulled wrenches at a Toyota dealer for a few years back late 80's early 90's. Always had Chev until after I started that job. Got a good deal and bought a little truck 4X2 for the commute, it got written off a few years back with almost 500k on it, never had to do much to it other than tires...

    What motor oil and oil filter do you use and why?

    0W40 full synthetic in summer and 0W20 in the winter. I use the mopar filter I bought a case when I picked up the truck. When they run out likely use WIX available at local parts store. So far so good but only 30K km on this '19 6.4 2500.

    Wth is this? Block heater on gas motor?

    Luckily I can park my RAM inside an unheated shed when it gets really cold like -40 type weather. I just use the block heater on a timer that goes on 4-5 hours before starting it up. When it starts the coolant is around 60F and oil is 20-30F and warms up real fast. Use 0W20 oil during cold...

    Cooling system / heater observations, cold weather

    Notice my new 2019 Tradesman 2500 6.4 operates a bit differently from expected, at least for me. I park it in an unheated shed overnight plugged in (block heater) overnight. Temp in shed drops down to 10F or so, and outside temp can be -20. When I start it up the temp gauge says 50-60 deg F...

    Hemi 6.4, gasoline. 87 or 89.

    I only use 89 since it's the only fuel I can get bulk without ethenol. Some of the older engines I have on the farm won't run on 10% ethenol, or run very badly. My '19 Ram 2500 with the 6.4 runs fine on the 89 but would use 87 ifm I had to buy at the pumps.
