If you have a saved Uconnect connection on the phone delete or forget it.

This is actually a known issue with some 25 models. Had a friend whose truck was bought back by RAM because of it.

Use a USB cable. It will automatically connect

Buy back cars are different than lemon law cars.

I totally agree.

Couple videos. First one is specifically about additives. Second on, he mentioned why additives can be bad when added, and the Hemi is specifically mentioned.

Those nylon locking nuts can be a *****.

If it has gone through the entire lemon law process, it is returns to manufacturer where they have the engineers diagnose the issue. Usually lemon law vehicles are scrapped and not re-sold. If it was just a "buy back" that didn't go through lemon law process, then it will be repaired and sold...

Insurance buy back is completely different than a lemon law, or manufacturer buy back.

There isnt a CHMSL meant for the 4th Gen cab used on the HD Rams that will fit the 5th gen 1500s.

Do not run any oil additives. They can cause more harm than good. Modern engine oils are engineered to protect. If your oil isn't doing the job find a better oil. Dumping in additives changes the chemistry of the oil blend, and what you dump in could react poorly with the additives already...

The HDRam chmsl is physically different than the 5th gens because the HD trucks still use the 4th gen cabs. It will not bolt on to your 5rh gen.

The other option is to buy a set of the pass through sockets and ratchet. Then you can get a tool on the hex of the shift above the nut, to hold the shaft when you break the nut loose.

I have a truck with a LSD, one with a lunchbox locker, and my RAM with the e-locker. The LSD works "okay" but will still allow one wheel to spin in extreme traction differences between each wheel. Which is when you would want it to be locked the most. Lunch box locker, Powertrax No-Slip...

Leave spring pressure on the strut when loosening the bolt. Will help keep the shaft from spinning. Once the nut starts to loosen, then compress the springs. As for ball joint, never use a pickle fork. All they do it destroy the ball joint boots. Hopefully you have new UCAs already...
