    Help. Does anyone have a listing for sway bar bushings?

    You can temporarily remove your sway bar and end links to narrow down suspension clunks. I have thought about removing mine permanently, but ended up just replacing the sway bar bushings every fall.

    Coolant leak at radiator

    I may try and take a closer look prior to visiting the dealer to see what the issue is, hoping for some warmer weather to do so. I had my charge air cooler replaced under warranty a few months back, hopefully they didn’t cause the radiator leak.

    Coolant leak at radiator

    Noticed my coolant was low the other day, topped it up and figured nothing of it. Today I noticed a couple pink drips in the snow so I crawled under and found this, should be covered under my extended warranty. Just gotta find time to bring it to the nearest dealer 3 hours away.

    Sub Zero No start with new battery

    Definitely a weird issue, hopefully someone who has had similar issues can help with a solution. Things I would check is battery voltage with the truck off and asleep ( takes a while and key fob cannot be near the vehicle) While the issue is present I would check voltage at the starter relay...

    Sub Zero No start with new battery

    Two tsb’s I found. Both were performed on my 2020 and eventually fixed the starting issues I had. https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2021/MC-10220961-9999.pdf https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2020/MC-10229299-9999.pdf My 2020 also had a loose ground on the back of the engine block which...

    Sub Zero No start with new battery

    I would get the battery tested somewhere other than the dealer. Low/dead batteries can cause all sorts of issues in these newer vehicles. It may be a new battery, but that doesn’t mean it’s good. There was also a software update for that model year that fixed an issue with remote start not...

    2019–4x4 Front Differential Actuator Plug Help

    Red lock tab is a safety for the main tab holding the connector on. Once it is released you’ll have to push down on the release tab to get the connector to come free. It may also help to use compressed air to clean off the connector prior to removal, sometimes they’ll get enough dirt in them so...

    AIR NOT BLOWING, AND NOT HOT!

    Your cabin filter may be full of snow if the blower fan is operating. Has happened to me a few times with high winds and blowing snow.

    Speaker rattling noise from back left window

    I did, I dropped the rear of the headliner to expose the area that came loose and applied a construction adhesive where the roof panel and support rib met.

    Smoke/steam behind rear seat when defroster on

    I would check the connections between the window defroster and wiring to make sure there is a good connection. Something may be loose causing high resistance and could end up causing enough heat to build up to start a fire or shatter the rear window.

    2025 3.0 transmission heater

    I think these transmissions heat up so slowly as there is very little frictional losses within the transmissions themselves, which is a good thing. The heat exchanger used for the transmissions on these trucks definitely functions to both cool and warm the transmission with the same coolant the...

    Dealer: Front CV Axle/Diff splines severely rusted

    Not far off from when the dealer replaced both front axles and the entire front differential on my 2022. Think it was right around 50k miles.

    2025 Ram 1500 4X4 Alignment/Steering Issues

    After multiple trips to the dealer after some front end warranty work they were unable to get the steering wheel aligned in my truck. 5 minutes and two wrenches I did it myself and took it in for an alignment at a shop I trust just to make sure it was good. If your steering wheel isn’t straight...

    Enclosed cargo trailer

    My 17x7 v-nose trailer is just big enough for a side by side or two atvs and gear. I can barely see around it with the standard mirrors, tow mirrors wouldn’t have any issues. 16’ boards just barely fit down the centre, so not sure where they get 17’ from. Whichever trailer you get make sure...

    Soaking wet cabin filter

    Wow, and I thought I was bad getting the underside of my truck packed with snow. That’ll get some sucked up the cabin air intake for sure.
