Perhaps the module is defective? Or short in the wire harness somewhere? I didn't have this problem when I installed my module. Is the brake module an actual RAM part? I paid a bit extra and got what I belive to be real RAM parts, and so far (about 6 months) no known faults. I have no...

Thanks for the info..."buyer beware," seems to be the RAM corporate motto. Sadly, this also seems to be the motto of other large corporations. BlueHemi1500

I did upgrade to the 40.1 when I first got my truck (NUSED). I was getting errors loading the XM system. I spent several hours reading/researching the problem and solutions. I was able to locate the files and the instructions. Once I obtained the files and the instructions, I printed out the...

Based on your problem statement, you need a whole new visor assembly or one used from a truck of a similar color. The Amazon part I purchased, and most others the bracket that holds the pivot in place fails, not the actual pivot/arm failure. A donor part should not be hard to remove. Be aware...

The only way a user/owner can update the software is via a USB drive. There are several steps you must follow exactly. Ensure you get the instructions along with the files to update. BlueHemi1500

Some of the models you noted do not come with a beach seat option, so be aware. Personally, I would not buy a truck without a true 4x4 system. I find my truck very comfortable to drive/ride around in, and I need to use the true 4x4 system due to weather events. As noted above, drive 4x2 and 4x4...

Oil - I think with a filter change, it is 7.5 qts. fill with 7.o qts, then go somewhere it is level and wait about 10 mins to let oil settle, then check oil level. 5W20 full synthetic is what is noted. Fuel - use ("Top Tier") 87 - works for me little to no knock ( I have hearing loss, so I may...

My W.A.G. - old battery has reached end of life. Try the cheaper route of a new battery and see what happens. I just, last month, I replaced my battery as it just barely started the truck; it gave me a warning sign. Batteries these days sometimes they just drop dead. At 5 years, you got your...

Is there an obvious odor to that smoke? That could be an important clue to those who could provide an informed opinion/idea(s) Oil level - any obvious change (less than expected)? If there is not an obvious odor, my W.A.G. - condensation? BlueHemi1500

I have read numerous posts that talk about the PPE aftermarket pan. I think they have 2 versions the std pan and a deeper pan. What is your thought process on that prospect? I will shortly be reaching 60k on my truck so it will be time to do the maintenance on the trans/trans/diffs on the...

I do not use an iPhone, so try the above as that is the most likely solution. However, you have a different version of the software than I do. But what about the volume setting on the iPhone itself as a possible solution? I know this is an obvious solution, but in fact, it may also be a...

Thanks for the info. I changed to 275/60/R20 vs the factory 275/55/R20 size. Just a bit taller to get rid of the low-profile rubber band style and give my rims a bit more protection from curb rash. I had to just do the trial-and-error method. I got close and I know there is an error just not...

All, This is the exact design that I purchased from Amazon but that link does not work. But the one above is the exact same item except the vendor/brand. So read my directions way above on the new screws needed to get a good solid fitment. I have had my parts for many months and they are...

Based on the picture attached by the OP : Long bed truck - longer than the 5.7 space behind the cab The truck is limited due to the chrome strip on the bottom of the doors unless someone installed the parts to give that appearance. BlueHemi1500

I feel the pain of your wallet, I too purchased my truck Nused. Mine was an emergency purchase so not many options/time, I had to have the car/truck that Saturday. I too have had my share of troubles with my truck. I have just gone out of the Powertrain warranty :(. Trying to get work done...
