If the electronic module on top is not cooked then you can remove that from all the mechanical bits. Replace said mechanical bits and reuse the electronic module. No dealer flash required. If you take the MGU apart and replace the bearings then you also do not need a dealer to reflash anything.

There is absolutely some level of reliability issue with the e-torque. The question is - how prevalent is it really? This forum is a small subset of the larger number of ram owners. Of those most people join to complain about issues with their truck. The bearings can fail in the Motor Generating...

I've considered this as well. I can say with utmost certainty that my auto start/stop is turned off 99% of the time that I'm driving. So much so that if I forget I'm a bit pissed off at myself lol. This is just spit ball engineering so it very likely is wrong. Similar to the post above - I've...

Glad it went well for you and you're back up and running. I'm at 87,xxx miles now myself so just a touch more than you. Hopefully my truck allows me the opportunity to plan for this - my intention is to do it sometime in the next 8,000 miles as preventative maintenance.

I'm sorry to hear about your struggles. Hopefully you come to some conclusions and you're able to solve some of them permanently. Coming up on 6yrs and 87,xxx miles for mine. No major problems for me thankfully.

I'm of no help with the s-type as a stand alone muffler. However, the muffler in my signature has been nice to have. It's not super aggressive but does provide a nice tone. I don't often get to hear it as the driver but I enjoy it when my wife is pulling up the road to our house. If I'd remove...

https://www.obdlink.com/products/obdlink-mxp/ I have this and love it. I've got an iPhone so I've used it with jscan without issues. I also really appreciate the fact that I can download OEM codes for free. Came in handy a few weeks ago. Instead of just having an ABS fault I was able to read...

Somewhere else I know I asked how you were liking it. I reread your post on page 4 about going from the stage 1 to the stage 2. Idk thst I'd read that before. Our trucks are almost twins then and that makes me more excited to go with the stage 2 kit. I've been on clip 3 since I had the front...

If it's available I always use the XG10060. Never had an issue.

I usually just use a Fram Ultra or a Mobil 1 filter. I've spent entirely too much time on the Bob is the Oil Guy forums. They say the Ultra is one of the better ones and they're readily available to me. The Mopar one is good as well. I believe the larger ones will fit though.

I think it's such a low percentage volume wise that it's of negligible difference. I feel comfortable with that coupled with the fact that I do early intervals (vs the manual) and that I use high quality oil filters.

I use this one on my vehicles. https://www.fumotousa.com/f106sx.html I can confidently say I have put hundreds of thousands of miles on vehicles with fumoto w/ zero issue. My truck has had one on it for at least 70,000 miles. I have a mazda 3 that has had one on it for 150,000+ miles. Add in...

Well note to self - if you see damage to your speed sensor itself you probably want to just replace the whole wheel bearing hub assembly immediately. New one lasted roughly 5 minutes. I was already driving when it failed and probably put 30-40 miles on it. The face of it was more damaged than...

Thankfully being a slight hoarder came in handy lol. Saturday I was headed to town and noticed my brakes felt really odd. A few moments later I get the ABS light and traction control light. Made it home and scanned my codes - had an oem code of Code C0031-2F which indicates an "Left Front Wheel...

Was this a compatible coolant? Was it used prior? I believe using incorrect coolant can cause build up issues.
