I think my original thread was caught up in the SPAM-exodus. No problem - I'll try to make this one a little less wordy. Some of you know I had the 5v reference issue, I took every connector I could find, cleaned them, re-applied di-electric grease to them, and reconnected them. While I was in...

Just curious if any of you may have experienced this. The intercooler pipe on the passenger side that has two 90 degree bends in it and eventually goes to the throttle body on mine likes to "push" the hose off the intercooler. I suspect the clamp is worn or failing, but it never completely pops...

Does anyone know the size of the transmission pan bolts? I'm about to tackle my pan/filter change, and upgraded to an aluminum pan and thought I'd like to throw some new stainless bolts at it to replace the original, and what appears to be quite rusty ones. I found one source that claims...

A few weeks back I had an issue that required me to disconnect the battery several times and reset everything while I did basic troubleshooting and electrical maintenance. Before I had done this, my Ramboxes would lock and unlock with the keyfob. Ever since the repair and battery reconnect, the...

So recently in my part of Texas, we've been getting quite a bit of rain - not Kerrville levels, but pretty steady, heavy occasional rain several times a day - a lot of the roads in Houston get high water pretty easily. About 5 days ago or so I was stuck in the right lane because NOBODY wanted...

Let's see if you've ever heard this one. Drove my truck all weekend, no issues, start-up process is the same as it always was in almost 3 years of ownership. This morning I'm heading out to work, unlock the doors, get inside, place phone, place thermos, place lunch, stick the keyfob in the...

It's late May as I write this, and here in Texas, summer has already given us a pretty nasty preview of what's to come. Like many of you, I drive a Crew cab, that's at least 6 vents when the air is on, 4 big ones up front, widely spaced apart, and two token vents in the rear, again, with a long...

...but are these temps, what you'd consider "normal?" I was never one to monitor transmission temps, and have known quite a few people who quarter-mile with monsters calling out trans temps far lower than this. This photo was just my normal casual commute home from work - about a 14 mile trip...

My last oil change of Rotella T6 15w40 only gave me 3157 miles... odd? No chunks, no oddities, no bizarre oil pressure numbers. Perhaps this is because of a poorer quality filter? I typically run K&N's but the filter I used on this interval came with the new filter-cap - maybe not as stringent...

So... we all know that forcing a diesel engine to eat it's own soot leads to premature engine bearing failure - just look around the forums for 'dead engine' threads. It's safe to say the EPA single-handedly ruined the reputations of countless engine producers, including our humble little...

It is my understanding that running your diesel at the standard idle speed is probably not a good idea long-term. I've built and tuned this thing so far with longevity in mind, but there's the occasional camping trip where I'd like to leave the engine running on a beach campsite or something...

I've had my rig now for about 26 months and 9,000 miles - I'm in the neighborhood of about 1155xx miles. Today was the first time since I've taken ownership that I received the "Exhaust System Regeneration in Process Exhaust Filter 80% Full" So, this happened half way on my way to work, which...

So... I ran across this guy in my feed this morning. I wonder if he's a poster here. 900,000 km's ... that's higher than my friend's 2018 with 447k miles (700000+ kms). :oops: He claims he did a full delete .... at 750,000km's. I wonder what his intake looks like inside.

Way back when I used to build Jeeps of all shapes and sizes, I typically ran Skyjacker or Rancho shocks with pretty good results. Today I feel like my Ram Bouncy-Castle is probably a little wiggly because the shocks are showing their age. I believe I found the right Rancho P/N for the rear ones...

So, I've put on a couple thousand miles now since I've got my fuel situation cleared up, tune installed, etc. I've always had this strange acceleration thing though - perhaps some of you experience it as well. In 2wd, sometimes, not all the time, there's a little "slack" for lack of a better...

What I thought I'd do is detail every little symptom just in case any of you have experienced or even "felt" this with your air ride. I replied in the "Right rear" thread, but I thought I'd build on it with a more specific set of issues. I'm working with a 2016 Lone Star, "air ride is nice ...

This may seem outrageous to the layman, but I've seen people with older rigs running 12-valves, and IDI's change their oil, and use what they drained as fuel. Seems crazy, but also, it seems to work for those. I know our fuel systems are really sensitive, and our fuel filters down down to as...

I recently changed out my bumpers (my rear one had a hole of rust in the corner after only 7 years in Texas!) and decided to tackle the job of transferring over my parking assist sensors today. After reaming out the holes in the new bumper with a step bit, I ended up having to lengthen the...

I'm considering laying out the dough for one of those Autel scanners, but I'm not sure if it's going to do what I want ... maybe I'll just need to go the AlfaOBD route. Question I have is, have any of you found a way to modify the speed thresholds for the Off-road 1 and 2 settings? While I...

I run a set of 3157 Switchback LED's on my 2003 Thunderbird - it seems to work just fine, no errors. I purchased a set for the 16 Ram, and they work, however the front ones will switch off the "White" running light to use the "Amber" turn-signal, which will trip a "Parking Light Out" error on...
