I have a 2019 RAM 1500 5.7 motor and 3.21 rear axle 4X4 which my buddies refer to a the "soccer mom truck" due to it's 4 auto transfer case. I was planning on visiting Utah staying on the easy to moderate trails listed by the park service but having no experience in off road for that area my...

You can repair it yourself. They sell plug and patch kits in a number of auto supply stores.

I had the same issue but mine eventually went into 4low when I repeatedly kept trying. The dealer said it was just stuck from lack of use and I should shift into 4 wheel monthly to keep it from sticking. I have not had the problem since.

I had to be towed out of a boat launch this summer because my 4WD would not engage. Took it to the dealer and they could not find the problem and said it was just stuck because I haven't used it enough. The dealer said I have to put it in 4WD monthly to keep it working properly. It is now...

The list of problems with my 2019 big horn are not nearly as long as yours and I considered seriously about trading it off. My dealership had been very good about fixing the issues and after 11 trips to the dealer they have successfully fixed all the issues. I am now considering keeping the...

I never went 4 wheeling just for fun but when working off road I got stuck more than a few times. That was back when trucks were mechanical without all the electronic conveniences and we had a tractor or loader handy. I did not realize how much they have changed and how vulnerable they have...

Thanks for clearing that up.

I have contacted him and although they are currently out of stock I think that might be the way to go.

They are DNR ramps in Michigan. One on lake Michigan's East Bay and another on Bear Lake. Buy the end of the season the sand builds up to a foot deep on the concrete. The DNR only clean it out when everyone complains about getting stuck.

Thanks for the video link. I guess it was a really good idea not to pull that guy out. I think this truck is restricted to mall crawling duties.

The boat was about 21 foot and probably less than 4000 pounds. The problem was that when you put the boat on the trailer it is still for the most part floating. If you don't pull out in a steady consistent pull when the trailer picks up the boat load if you stop the trailer tires will sink...

I thought disabling the ESC removed the computer action and locked up the clutches. Will the switch you have linked lock the clutches with more force allowing a harder pull without slipping?

On a 2019 5.7 with 4 auto type transfer case and if the ESC is completely turned off (5 second disable) and in 4 lock, or 4 low, will the clutches slip if the load is too heavy? I opted not to pull a truck with boat trailer loaded at a boat launch out because I didn't know if I would damage...

I recently had the passenger side bolts replaced. The sound it makes is rather easy to detect and it is just a visual inspection to determine if they are broke or if the manifold is cracked. I heard it can happen every 30,000 miles and on either side. The service guy started up my truck and...

I did it again. Hope I got it right this time.
