    ABS and Electronic braking system lights on 2018 Ram 2500

    Its the ABS pump, very common issue with the 2018 models. Parts can be very hard to find. Its called the Hydraulic control unit and the part is currently $786 on Mopar. It's often not even in stock. Mine died in October of 23 and the dealer said it had been months since they could get the part...

    Code C159E, air pump temperature sensor fault

    Did you end up solving this issue? Mine did this yesterday a few days ago but the code went away I hit the alternate ride height button.

    2018 RAM 2500 - ABS Issues

    That part is 780 now damn. Best I can tell based on tons of research is the AB pump is that part that goes bad. It sits right on top of the front driver wheel well so that might be an issue. While I have not yet replaced it, the part is very easy to get to and there should be some youtube...

    Service cruise control

    It could be related to the ABS pump which is a common failure on rams. You need to take it to a dealer and run the codes, or buy a OBD Link code reader and use AlphaOBD. A standard code reader will not pull the codes if its ABS related.

    Should I install air bags?

    It has factory air suspension and upgraded running boards. Which I guess is the extra 60 lbs. When I was shopping for the truck there were some higher trims with 1800 lbs of payload.

    1500 vs 2500 for towing travel trailer (downhill)

    The issue is payload. The tongue weight on that trailer will be at least 750 lbs, potentially up to 900. If you get one with 1700 lbs of payload you will be ok, but some trims are 1400 lbs or less which would not be ideal.

    Should I install air bags?

    Here is my truck on the scale with two adults and 3 small kids. I have 1660 available payload, and 2800 lbs available on the rear axle. And here is my most recent weigh with a 33 ft TT. I actually have to be careful not to overload the truck bed with gear, I weighed in once time about 200...

    Should I install air bags?

    You are correct, its 6k each for 12k total. What I meant to say is with the truck on the scale there is about 3000 lbs of available weight on the rear axle.

    Should I install air bags?

    The payload sticker on my 2500 cummins, tradesman model is 2200 lbs. Given the tradesman model has less accessories the higher trims this is about the best you will get. Some people claim the 2500 is nerfed at 10,000 GVWR which may be true, but the rear axle has a max weight rating of 3k lbs...

    GCWR losing my mind!

    I see she already safely made the trip which is great. For the future the payload capacity is really the limiting factor for towing. 6800 GVWR - 5780 dry truck weight - 150 for your daughter = 870 lbs of cargo capacity. 870/0.15 for the trailer tongue weight = 5800 lbs. So that's your...

    2018 ram 2500 ABS module/ Control unit

    Mine went out in September and I was told March for a part. I searched online for new parts at least once a week and they were back in stock in late November. Only part was AA, new part is AB. So far I have not had any issues, but I have not driven it that much either. I took apart the old...

    Cummins $1.6 billion dollar fine!!!

    I find it somewhat hard to believe that the update has no effect on performance, if that were the case why did they not do it to start. There has to be a tradeoff somewhere. Regardless, I agree with what you have said. I have no issue getting the update and I want to do my part to help the...

    2018 RAM 2500 - ABS Issues

    Mine just got back from the shop with a new part, same truck. It cost me a lot more then what you were quoted to fix, something I am not too happy about. Two months ago I was told the part was on indefinite backorder, but Mopar has them in stock now. I bought a spare part two weeks ago for when...

    Ramcharger article

    I have a cummins truck because I tow a travel trailer all summer, however it's not a practical truck of around town driving. City gas millage is really bad and its huge. So I bought an EV bolt for local trips. In theory I could trade both my truck and Bolt in for the ramcharger. It has more...

    Update on my ABS module dilemma

    Where did you find a complete assembly online? I am about to have mine shipped to XeModex as well.

    Diesel Pre-heat Time of Year

    I only plug in if it calls for temps below 25 degrees in the morning. I think the manual says you do not need to plug in until you hit the low teens. Make sure you use a timer of some sort because the heater uses 1000 watts. I set it to turn on 3 hours before I need to drive the truck. However...

    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    I expect TFL and many other youtube channels to put this truck through its towing paces. I would not be an early adopter, but there is a ton of potential here.

    2018 RAM 3500 HO SRW highway MPG's

    I have the standard cummins and I can easily get over 20 MPG highway. I tracked the real MPG compared to the computer for about a year and found the computer was always about 1 MPG high.

    2025 1500 RamCharger. Is it an EV?

    This is the solution to those of us that Tow. I do not drive much and 100 miles of EV range will work for 99% of non towing commutes. Then when I basically get a gas vehicle. If this had a small diesel engine in it, I would want it even more, but I know that does not make any sense.

    2016 Ram 1500 ABS Module replacement

    Unavailable parts I get, but to be on the 3rd engineering design for this part I do not.

    2016 Ram 1500 ABS Module replacement

    Damn, this is the 4th new thread I have read on this just today. Mine is currently a local Diesel shop with the same issue. Look at my comment history for some links that may help to fix. I agree with your frustration though, this is my first and likely last Ram truck for this reason...

    2017-2018 2500/3500 brake system issues

    My 2018 cummins 2500 is in the shop right now for this issue. They are replacing it with a used part. THis thread has some more details on the issue. I also found this company, xemodex which will repair your HCU. I have not used them, but if this happens again, or the Diesel shop can not repair...

    Service electronic braking system

    It likely your ABS pump, it seems to be a common issue sadly. My 2500 is currently at an independent Diesel shop waiting for a used part. If you search around some people are on their 3rd pumps. The dealer told me it would be February at best before I could get a new part, and searching around...

    2006 RAM 1500 CRUISE CONTROL, ABS LIGHT, BRAKE LIGHT

    My cummins is currently in the shop for this issue. The code said the ABS module. You need a good scanner like the OBDLink and AlfaOBD (its an app on your Android phone, not sure about Apple). This will give you the exact code. For my truck the ABS modules are hard to come by, but you should be...

    Ram Hybrid for 2025

    If this thing can tow my 33 ft travel trailer I could see replacing my 2500 cummins with this truck. Especially if the payload capacity is 2200 lbs. The high torque electric motors provide the same type of power the diesel does, and the regen brakes effectively work the same as the diesel engine...
