    Sqeaking while curving at 10/15mph ?

    I second the tire squealing.

    Service electronic stability control and check engine light

    My brain keeps going back to your tire size, I think I remember something about the tire size being a bit off?

    Spherical EndLinks?

    I had a clunk that disappeared when I disconnected my factory front swaybar end links. Replaced them with Maxxlink endlinks. And now it clunks again. When I get a minute I'll disconnect these and see what happens. So for your spherical end links, looks like you might have a machining/welding...

    Service electronic stability control and check engine light

    For those of us that have had CANBUS issues, (and sometimes can't get a resolution). Remember the days when a taillight went out and the vehicle didn't shut down and act like it was possessed by evil spirits, and you just put a new bulb in for a couple bucks, sometimes in the amount of time it...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    For the clunk in the steering did it go away? Here's what I can remember, other members here will probably mention what I forget: Check the bolts that hold the EPS on. Check the tie rods and the ends for play or being loose. Check the joints in the steering shaft for play. The bearings in the...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    I'll bet that Duster is real fun to drive and work on. Makes me kinda miss my long gone 72' Monte Carlo, ran 12's in the quarter and could also take it on road trips, and fix it easily. If you can find a decent diagnostic shop, that methodically hunts for the problem, you'll be ahead of me, I...

    Bedliner over old Undercoating

    I have a 6' Trail FX Bed liner and tailgate protector you can have for free. It also includes a custom wood bed divider. You'd just have to figure out how to get it to NH from CA. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/drop-in-fx-trail-bed-liner-for-64-length-bed-used.47704/#post-742518

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Yes exactly on the waveforms = CAN high/low signal. Watching techs on youtube troubleshoot these issues with the high low signal has been really eye opening. In fact here is one example, while not a RAM, still a Chrysler product 😜: I am far from really educated/proficient on this stuff, just...

    Rear window leak

    I just filled in that gap with urethane body seam sealer on mine, so far no leaks from 2 days of real heavy rain. But let's see if it lasts...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Instrument clusters can go bad, their connectors can also be compromised and that can make the CAN very very angry. One thing that happens is folks have their windshields tinted, and the installation can allow water into the dash which can short various things and also make the CAN angry. Does...

    Rear window leak

    So I tried a couple fixes for my rear window leak and this one seems to be the fix. Will have to see how it holds up after a couple years though.

    Help truck won’t start

    What work did the dealership do to it this time? We're very curious. Did they check the RF hub? Not that I want it to be your RF hub, but I'm suspicious...

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

    Sounds like you checked a lot of things that can go wrong with these trucks. All those connectors you pulled apart and greased should save you some CAN headaches down the road. How does the throttle body look? Clean, dirty, gunked up?

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I definitely did not correct for emissivity on those readings. I'll be pulling the fender liners for something else soon, and if I remember, will try to get some readings with adjusted emissivity. What do you think, stainless, dulled, and a tad grimey, say, 0.30?

    Possessed Uconnect 12 in 2020 Limited 1500

    Hi @RamCares could you help this guy out with his electrical and bureacratic nightmare?

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Directly downstream (right below the flange) is indeed the catalytic converter, hence the significant increase in temperature from the header tube measurement to the collector measurement. Those cats like to get nice and toasty, or maybe "burny" is a better description.

    Rear window leak

    I did the same thing with a urethane. Tested at the self serve car wash with the high pressure wand, got the driver's side to seal, but passenger side still leaks. I took a quick look and it appears I may have missed a small section on the passenger side. Maybe I'll just put a potted plant on...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Here to add even more confusion and chaos, with a highly super scientific test of stainless non-coated header temperatures on 5th gen 1500 Hemi. Engine was at it's normal operating temperature, meaning, hot.

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

    I feel like there is something to this, but I'm not a software guy, and I have no idea how to prove the theory. Maybe someone on here can find the line of code that causes it? Also my 2019 has not done the drop in about a year, this is after cleaning the throttle body and installing an OCC. I...
