I'm using Alpha OBD with the OBDLink MX+ MX201 to try and change my tire size. I connect, go to BCM, body computer MY2019, choose tire size, hit "start", "next", but nothing happens after that? I've tried turning the truck on and off, typing in the tire circumference in mm, but nothing seems to...
Does anyone know if these trucks use the same parameters for shift points as cars? I know next to nothing about any of this, but it sounds like cars use throttle position and rpm (converted to output shaft speed) to set shift points. I'm curious if trucks use any additional data like load or...
Do you have any aftermarket tunes or equipment on this truck? I am curious because it sounds like I have the same thing, but I have a tune, so I'm not sure the software update will work on my truck?
Has anyone had any ECU failures? I've been experiencing an unusual "
, single "hiccup" on acceleration immediately after leaving my driveway on cold mornings. I've posted about this and one member had a similar situation that I believe they said ended up being an ECU failure, so, I was...
***UPDATE-3: Think I've ruled out the heating electrical bus. I've heard the 19+ models had some bad electrical issues and even watched that video where a ford f150 guy had the rear taillight/lidar connector cause problems in the bus (shut the truck down I think), so I was keeping that in my...
**UPDATE-2: Pinpointed one of the fault indicator lights as the "Electronic Throttle Control". Also scanned the fault codes and have a historical P24DA. Not sure if these are related. I know this is a lot, but I've pulled useful information from threads like this in the past and hopefully this...
*UPDATE: Truck did the "jerk"/shutdown again this morning. Wasn't running the heater, but did run the side mirror defrost for the first time. I'm not sure that the defrost had anything to do with it and this rules out the cabin air heating having anything to do with it either. Definitely only...
That makes perfect sense. I can understand that clearly. The videos and posts might have stated that and I just missed it, but I get it now. Thanks for the reply!
Why do you say not to drive it short distances? I watched a youtube video awhile back saying that it takes a little while for the engine to reach ideal operating temp, but the way I see it, the engine operates for the same duration in the sub-optimal operating temps regardless. What I mean by...
Lot of negative talk on here (..and for good reason), but does anyone have some good high mile success stories for the 2019 ecodiesel? If so, what do you do with it, how do you treat it maintenance wise, any mods, ect.? This might make some of us feel a little better about our purchase.
I've had something that sounds very similar. I've had my 2019 (w/30k) do the same, but mine has only done it on cold days, right after turning on the heat. I know that sounds crazy, but I even went so far as to try and recreate the problem and was able to (...or so I think). I now let the truck...
It hasn't happened again since I posted on here. I have looked at the dash a little bit more and didn't realize that the indicator lights change (pixilated lcd type screen). After realizing that and thinking back, I think the orange indicator that was flashing was an exhaust fault indicator...
-2019 ram classic tradesman 4x4, 20k
-SFKT stage 2 tune w/ transmission
-Scheduled for the HPFP recall fix w/ two separate dealers, but I'm being told there isn't an official fix yet?
-Running clean diesel from QT and added stabil to second tank (maybe helps lubricity?)
Truck has had this...
