    Oil in coolant

    This looks normal to me. The real issue is the previous owner's lack of maintenance. Unexplained coolant loss isn't unheard of and is usually the result of an evaporated coolant loss. An evaporated loss is where the coolant, when at operating temperature, escapes through a small leak in the...

    Trailer Light Issue

    I don't have the information on your issue to make a judgment.

    Trailer Light Issue

    At first glance, it sounds like a grounding issue. The presence of voltage means the circuit is intact, but it is not an indicator that current can flow. Start checking all ground connections, starting with the left trailer light.

    Fat tire ebike suggestions?

    The bride and I just bought ourselves e-bikes. I have severe arthritis in my lower back, L1 through L3, and to make it a step worse, because of my height, I have an extra vertebra in my back to add to the misery. I have resorted to a spinal pain block implant, which blocks 80% of the pain 90% of...

    Engine Oil for 3rd gen EcoDiesel

    If you are looking for a yes or no answer, then I think no. You are right, there have been a lot of controversies over this, mostly between those who have a small business selling Amsoil products and those who want to follow the RAM recommendation for engine oil. Just before my first oil change...

    Check your oil pans!!

    This happened to my 2013 HEMI. I was out of warranty, and the MaxCare didn't cover it. $1,000 to replace plus another $80 for a wheel alignment because they had to mess with the front axle to get the oil pan out.

    7 months into ownership of a brand new 2024 and...

    I've been in the RAM camp for twelve years and own two of the three new RAMs I've purchased. I've experienced quality slips with supplier parts, airbags, water pump, and the CP4 high-pressure fuel pump. What I have noticed is the dealership's service department sliding downhill. My first...

    Brighter DRL

    I believe the DRLs are the low-beam lamps at a reduced brightness. I think you are asking about increasing the brightness of the brow lighting. The first question I have is how bright can the brow lighting safely get. I've seen different brightness levels of brow lighting on RAMs, I always...

    $500 head light bulb replacement!

    Buy a new RAM, get the longest MaxCare you can, and when it expires, get a new truck. That is what I've been doing.

    Factory trailer brake controller - can it work automatically below 15 mph?

    There are only two ways to resolve this: a software update from the factory or adding an after-market controller like a Prodigy. The latter is what I did with my 2015 until RAM came out with an update. It was very difficult to get someone at RAM to listen to the problem with the ITBM. After...
