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...

All, If you have the 12-inch Nav/Radio UC 4 system: There are no free updates for the UC 4 system - only UC 5 systems. you must buy your own update for your truck they are VIN-locked from the factory you must enter/verify your VIN upon install If your Radio software needs updating - there may...

All, My Nused 12-inch UC 4 Nav Radio - the weather warnings/maps function and move as I move the truck down the world/road. All the other UConnect apps. appear to function as well. The SOS light is green, I make the assumption it is functional, never hit the button. I travel frequently long...

I just had to replace my factory battery 59K 2020 Laramie. I just replaced the battery but did not use any form of voltage maintainer during the swap. My HVAC went wacky (a known problem with battery change). I did not get any warning lights (also a known problem). I just tolerated the lack of...

Thanks for all the help. How does one do an ETC relearn procedure? There was no flashing red lightning light or steady other warning lights, and I think/hope it was just a moment of temporary insanity, so to speak. (I am praying to the electronic Gods.) I do have AlphaOBD, a security cable, and...

Calling all mechanical sleuths/wizards: Earlier today, I took my truck to the carwash - the first day it has been over the single digits for a while to get rid of the salt. (Yes, I know it's not good for the truck, but I can't use a hose at the house, it's too cold - frozen pipes will result in...
