    HCU replacement DIY question - Brake bleed.

    I need a new HCU and given I can not find parts I am going to take it out and send it to xemodex for repair. Not concerned about how to get the HCU out, but I have never done a brake bleed before. Question is, can I just go through the steps for the Abs auto bleed after replacement or do I...

    hydraulic control unit

    So Service ABS warning came on and the deal said I need a new hydraulic control unit. MOPAR said it would be at least February 2023 before they can order one. What I am supposed to do between now and then. The truck still has brakes, but that is a long time to be missing an important feature...

    Prefill Oil Filter

    I know this has been asked before, but I am going to ask again. 2018 Ram 2500, cummins. Do you or do you not pre fill the oil filter. So far I have always pre filled, but man does it suck to replace a full filter. I just watched a video of a mechanic who does not pre fill.

    Car starts then instantly turns off

    2018 2500 Cummins Every so often after the truck starts, it instantly turns off. I am always able to start it right back up again and it never happens twice in a row. But I am worried I could end up stranded somewhere. My guess is I did not crank it hard enough to stay on, or there is an issue...

    Alignment going out every 6 months

    I have to realign my truck every 6 months even though I hardly drive it. Each time it pulls slightly to the right. Under normal driving I can not even notice, but when I pull my trailer it is noticeable enough to be annoying but not dangerous or anything. Truck only has 16k miles between the...

    Ram 2500 - Needs front wheel alignment every 6 months

    As the title says I have a 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins and I end up needing to realign the front wheels every 6 months. During normal driving its not a big deal but when I tow my travel trailer its noticeable enough to give me a very slight steer to the right. I do not off road with the truck, I do...

    Should I change the Fuel Filters after 1 year if I have have not driven the Truck Much?

    It will be a year in March since I changed the fuel filters on my Ram 2500, I have only put about 5k on the truck in that time and it will not be driven much during February. So should I change the fuel filters after a year anyway even though they are only at about 50% of their life based on...

    What tonneau cover do you have?

    Currently I have a Fleer Vynal soft 3 fold cover. I just bought and installed the Peragon cover but it leaked too much so its getting returned. What brand do you have and how water tight is it? I am currently considering the LOMAX cover because its easy to remove.

    Need help with a noise

    2018 Ram 2500 Cummins, only 13k miles. When driving I get a a high pitch whine that changes with transmission shifts. I also get the noise at idle when I press hard on the brakes. Little to no noise when idle. Looking online it seems it might be the hyrdaboost and power steering, but the...

    Exhaust Brake is the best feature in a Diesel.

    Just towed 33ft travel trailer with my Ram 2500. The exhaust Brake is simply amazing. Pulling off on a steep downhill off ramp I hardly had to touch the brake. I am glad I listened to the pro Diesel guys when buying my first truck, well worth every penny of the premium price. Previously I towed...

    Best Off Road Jack

    Looking to do some off road Beach driving this summer so I can socially isolate and still visit the beach. What off road jack does everyone recommend for a Ram 2500 Cummins. I read the hi-low jack is not safe for larger trucks and can damage your bumper.

    When to plug it in

    Just got a new to me 2018 Ram 2500 Cummins with 3k miles. The question is at what temps should I plug it in? For the last week I have been starting it with temps in the mid 20's without any issues, in fact the engine started as it normally would. Does that mean it needs to be a lot colder, or...

    Rear Coil Springs and Towing

    I am going to pull the trigger soon on a 2016-2018 Ram 2500 Diesel specifically to tow a 10k GVWR 35 ft travel trailer. When talking with the dealer he recommended a Silverado or F250 specifically because of the rear coil springs in the Ram. He said they cause more trailer sway. Anyone have...
