    Service Electronic Stability Control warning on 2021 RAM 1500 — won’t shift or fully shut off

    I have had issues with two apps, Android Auto and BluOS not connecting. Both were resolved by uninstalling the app and then re-installing it on the Android phone, even though the apps were up to date. I believe it has to do with deleting the cache. Apple is probably no different.

    What is the main reason for the sluggish feel?

    1) The cold air intake does nothing, it is a waste of money. 2) Raising the front of the vehicle will definitely reduce gas mileage, especially on the highway. 3) As Eighty said, larger tires is the biggest performance hit. 4) The muffler will do nothing other than make the truck louder, again a...

    Engine shutting down while driving

    Yes, that looks like the Auto Park Brake setting, so when you put the truck in Park the parking brake Should Not go on. The 21 and 22s had a TSB to flash the PCM to address the low speed stall issue. I know I had mine flashed. I don't recall the TSB but if you do a search of TSBs for your...

    Engine shutting down while driving

    Okay, we're a pretty smart group here but we're not clairvoyant. Most of the TSBs were for earlier years, 2019-2022. We need to know the model and year. In the safety settings turn off the Auto Engage on the parking brake. That should also prevent the automatic shift to park but I am not...

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    It is safer to remove the negative terminal. The reason is that if you accidently touch the positive battery terminal with a metal tool while you are working, the tool is grounded to the negative terminal through the chassis and a big spark and boom is going to result. If the ground is...

    Oil catch can

    The amount of oil that you remove from the catch can is the exact amount of oil that is not burned and emitted as particulates or smoke. It is typically quite small, a few ounces every 5,000 miles but enough that I believe that it may reduce soot build up on the exhaust tips. It will certainly...

    2020 1500 no Crank

    I had the same issue on a Ford Escape. On that car there was a fuse bus (not the user one) next to the battery. It had seven 20 to 50 amp fuses held in with bolts. The last one was bad, not blown, bad as in coming apart. Intermittent no power and lots of weird behavior. Start doing an...

    This is the back side of the green Security Gateway Bypass (CAN-C Star Connector) located just under the Headlight switch. If one of the capacitors goes bad, or as in this case falls off, the truck goes absolutely crazy, Have the CAN_C Star replaced, just temporarily, and see if the problem...
