Sometimes mine acts silly in the colder weather. Typically once I get engine temp to 60 or so it all goes back to normal. These trucks are known to glitch sometimes.
I bought OEM module and switch for around 200$ through a dealer, used Alfa obd to enable the trailer brake settings and screens in my 14 Laramie and works flawlessly. I thought about aftermarket but tracking trailer mileages and keeping the brake settings per trailer was worth it to me.
FWIW: if you keep getting the preheat wait to start due to a glow plug issue, if you unplug the glow plug module, it’ll do away with the flashing on the evic so you can at least drive without having ADHD. you still have check engine light and no glow plugs, but it stops that annoying flash.
Good afternoon all,
I know I’m beating a dead horse but I’m iso a tuner that can write out the glowplugs and startup procedure with them. My current tuner appears to have gone out of business so they are no longer an option. Anyone aware of this being done before?
First I’ve heard of that issue, sounds like when they designed the suspension they didn’t do a good job. When I added my leveling kit to my 2014 ram, I had to add a drop mount for my bump stops, but I don’t think I’ve ever come close to bottoming out on them.
Did it throw any codes? Idk how they condemned the turbo for being “dirty” when it’s nearly impossible to inspect and a bore scope would most likely not get a good angle to see inside of it. Most likely boost leak from one of the intercooler hoses
That’s a tough call. Mines at 190k and I’ve replaced one at 120k and now i have another giving the flashing light. I would not try to replace them all unless the one that’s giving you the code comes out easily. Typically the head swells up around them just a tick and dirt and debris gets down in...

You shouldn’t be causing any damage. Mine too does it randomly due to a glowplug. A majority of the time this occurs, it’s either a glowplug or the glowplug module. The glowplugs are a PITA to change but not impossible. Use caution as they’re prone to breaking in the head and have to be extracted.
If you’re decent with hand tools, all the parts bolt off / bolt on. Tuners can email back and forth the required files once you buy their handheld devices.
