    DEF system warning a shutdown due to ‘improper def fluid’

    I ran into the "no start" issue. Mine was caused by a failure of the nox sensor. Dealer couldn't get part during covid- so we ran it to no start. It will not just shut down while driving. It just won't re start, after being shut off. There's a trick that will allow a restart. The ecu only...

    Transmission Tune

    Thanks for the input, 1shadowsabre. I did speak with Frank at SKT last week. That does seem to be a good option. Was attempting to keep everything with one tuner. I do have a second issue with my ECU - it was flashed with the tune early in 2016, prior to the tone wheel update. I'd hate to have a...

    New member Fuel leak smell

    Thermostat and housing replacement

    Uggggggg... had to do the evaporator. Couldn't live without the AC. Think I inadvertently caused the heater core to fail, when I was replacing the evaporator. The inlet and outlet tubes were about 18" long, to go through the firewall. I'm positive one cracked at the weld where it attaches to the...

    Calling for an electrician for a dumb Ram problem

    My problem was two fold - an intermittent broken copper conductor at the door wiring harness boot AND a corroded switch contact. The switch contact corroded from rain water dripping onto the switch control console on the driver side door + a wire that made contact ( sometimes ) when the door was...

    Calling for an electrician for a dumb Ram problem

    Hi. The actual wiring diagram or electrical schematic is a must have. I am a electrician with many years of systems diagnostics experience. On my 2000 XJ - I could have never made an educated guess of the electrical route used to lock and unlock my doors. Although the master lock and control is...
