    Blown up Power Steering Due to Binding in 4x4?

    So I live up in the great white north. Road conditions are currently packed snow on residential streets (actually quite grippy with duratracs) and 100% shear ice on main roads (literally can't make it through an intersection before the light turns red again in 2wd) I've had the truck in 4x4...

    Horrible Grinding noise on cold startup

    2012 1500 5.7 with roughly 56000 miles on it. Have this starting issue that only appears when its extremely cold out (today was -30c or -22f). truck starts totally normal, starter engages and turns over totally normal, but after the truck actually fires up there's a horrible grinding noise for...

    2014 Ram 1500 check engine light

    I don't know if this works for every year, but for my 2012 if you turn the key from completely off to RUN 3 times fairly rapidly (without cranking the engine) and with the third twist of the key leave it in the RUN position, it will display any current codes. Only works if the CIL is currently...

    Coolant temp reads 0 and SVC 4WD light on

    I would hope its OEM as I got the dealer to replace the water pump and sensor last winter. Was too cold to do it in my driveway myself. I cleaned the connector to the sensor at the water pump with some contact cleaner and so far no more issues. Time will tell, Thanks guys.

    Coolant temp reads 0 and SVC 4WD light on

    Finally had a chance to pull the code today P0116 "engine coolant temperature sensor" Which is odd since I changed the sensor last winter after having an issue with the temp reading low causing a check engine light. What worries me is how it dropped from operating temp to 0 in an instant...

    Coolant temp reads 0 and SVC 4WD light on

    Hey guys, so this morning as I was driving (for the first time in a few days and first real cold day), I heard a chime and saw the SVC 4WD light came on as well as the temp gauge instantly dropped to full cold. Heat was still working well and the truck still seemed to shift into 4WD, or at...

    Coolant Temp Sensor broke off, Help

    I had the EXACT same problem as you, same code, same year truck too but an SLT 5.7. Had the new brass part in hand and snapped the old one in my driveway. I tried everything from using a screwdriver like the post above me, to using a pick, even tried burning it out and finally drilling which...

    2010 1500 shutting down on mostly right turns

    When it dies, is it immediate or does the engine sputter and try to stay alive? you would need to find out it you're losing spark or fuel. If it was a loose or corroded connection causing fuel pump to cut out, I would think it would sputter for just a second before dying.

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Appreciate the reply and that all makes perfect sense but my truck only has 86000km or 54000 miles. I'll just keep driving and see. Like I said I've only put like 300 mi on it since I put the redline in. My type a and impatience gets the best of me sometimes

    Did Redline Oil work against your Hemi Tick?

    Hey guys, don't mean to hijack the thread, but I have a quick question. You may have seen my other post where I recently switched to redline and had awesome results and my tick was completely gone but it has since returned after 500km (310 mi). So my question is, has anyone else had the tick...

    Finally made the switch to redline - Results so far.

    Well an update for you guys, the tick is back and its back with a vengeance. I put on about 500km since the oil change and just today it came back when I got home from work and pulled up beside the wife's car I heard it loud and clear. I recall reading before that it may take a while before...

    Finally made the switch to redline - Results so far.

    Lol well if I lived in Calgary I'd also be paying under 20 bucks a litre. Trust me, I've seen your cheaper oil in Calgary and Edmonton but with shipping it would be even worse. I got 2 jugs, a gallon each and went with a more expensive filter. At least here I can afford a house twice the size...

    Finally made the switch to redline - Results so far.

    Bought my 2012 5.7L last year with 80000km/49700mi on it and it ran like a top with Mobil 1 synthetic. about a month or two ago I started noticing two separate sound, both of which I did not like. The first was on about 1/10 starts, I would get 5 or 6 rapid ticks driver side and it would fade...

    Spark Plug Nut Stripped

    I cant really comment on the valve cover or on how to get the stripped one out, but for the rest of the plugs this is the tool that I, and many others on this forum recommend: https://www.amazon.com/GEARWRENCH-8-Inch-6-Inch-Swivel-Premium/dp/B07PVVSNS1 I used this and a 3/8 drive ratchet and...

    P2181 + Red Bolt Need help

    Glad it worked out for you. I went through almost the exact same thing this past fall. Did the Tstat and coolant first and when I went to do the coolant temp sensor, the POS plastic sensor literally crumbled like a old stale cookie. Tried for hours to try and pick/melt/drill the remaining...

    2016 1500 rear differential

    I'm not saying pressure built up and popped the plug, I'm saying that mf'er MAY HAVE grenaded, literally locked the rear up on the highway and blew the thing out haha exploding diffs have even blown the whole covers off in the past, never mind the little dinky rubber plugs we have on these rams...

    2016 1500 rear differential

    Call me crazy but what are the chances you lost the plug on that road right there? looks like most of the oil escaped right then and there on the shoulder. To me it looks more like a catastrophic failure of the diff and probably blew the plug out on the shoulder. I'm thinking if the plug had...

    2012 5.7 Stalled Immediately after starting, What Sensors Should I Clean?

    plugs looked really good actually, I'm thinking there were probably changed at some point but they still looked ready to be retired. throttle body was very dirty. the combination of doing the plugs and throttle body really woke her up when I did a test drive after, like a brand new truck. And...

    2012 5.7 Stalled Immediately after starting, What Sensors Should I Clean?

    Just thought I'd update in case someone else stumbles across this post. I've since changed the plugs and cleaned the throttle body and haven't been able to replicate the problem since. The trucks been running great. Appreciate the suggestions especially about the fuel pump relay! will keep that...

    2012 5.7 Stalled Immediately after starting, What Sensors Should I Clean?

    Truck is a 2012 with 83000 km (52000 miles) after sitting for 16 hours over night, the truck stalled today immediately after start up and smelt like gas, it started fine after with no codes and ran fine. I looked under the truck to see if I could see any gas leaking but I think the smell was...
