I can't speak to many of your observations, but for the oil plug, look at Fumoto oil drain valves. Yeah, I was a skeptic at first, thinking about damaging it. That was back in '03. Since then, I've put them on EVERY vehicle I own, and also on my sons'. You can slip a hose on it and direct...

This. No china-bomb tires, stable trailer load, keep up with traffic, don't block the left lane.

Before I bought my truck, I asked this forum about the MFT. Overwhelmingly, the response was, "get it." I got it. I could not be happier that I did. It has proven to be one of the most often used features I use.

Rain.

Me? I hooked up a tandem-wheel car trailer, tossed a sedan on it, then towed it about 1 1/2 hours away. The ecoDiesel chugged along at ~1800 rpm, 70-ish MPH, and it was as if there was nothing behind me. (I selected 4-wheel auto, Tow/haul mode (keeps transmission from hunting for gears) and...

Yeah, this is a cosmetic issue only. It's a "live and learn" thing. I like the look of them, but the next rims I purchase, I'll know to make sure they don't have an undercut lip.

Do you have any idea what makes that part number "fixed" compared to the original? (The problem is the roller/cup assembly being able to rotate. A bypass circuit, like S&S offers for OTHER pumps (not ours) just sends the contaminated fuel back to the tank, where normal flow has it going through...

Get a lawyer.

My bold: you mean the Bosch CP4.2 pumps are available? The "bad" ones that need to be replaced by the earlier version pump? (I wonder how easy/hard/useful it would be to try to dig through a pull-a-part yard and grab some CP3's?)

Good plan! Eventually they'll guess right and swap the needed part. :(

For the leaks, what's the part number for the new gasket around the brake light? (<- I've searched... I'm going to get some hail damage repaired, and I -know- they'll pull the brake light out to fix the roof and I want to install a fresh seal.) Thanks.

^^^ I vote "Battery", like those above.

I'd ask the dealership for a full refund for the mis-diagnosis and the, therefore, unneeded repair.

50k miles, so out of warranty? Did you at least get the old ECU back? (<- I mean, a "shorted wire in the ECU" is something that I'd be VERY curious to see.)

Funny...but I pay the neighbor's kid to help me get my truck (3.21 gears, natch) out of my driveway. He's got a nice 10 speed bike, better than the one pictured above. When I'm ready to go, he grabs my door handle and starts peddling. Once I'm up to speed (about 5-10 mph) he lets me go. He goes...

Like @cskindt said, this sounds like a CLASSIC case of a limite-slip differential that is missing its friction modifier. Thumbnail sketch: your limited slip internal clutch is "too grippy". That locks both tires to the same speed. During turns on pavement, something has to give, so one tire...

Window leak. Otherwise...absolutely fabulous vehicle.

This looks VERY promising. I cannot imagine that RAM would have a significant difference in design. If the HD trucks use an evap temp sensor, so too should ours. Adding a resistor in parallel to create an artificially hot sensor temp to fool the compressor...is a simple solution to putting...

Folks, Anyone know of any aftermarket switches that match the RAM interior style? I'm thinking about the air conditioning in my truck. I have a black interior and I think that using the "air conditioning hack" could help cool the interior. (It's not horrible, but I think it could be better...

This makes me want to open up my rear seat area to put a water diverter above my RF hub. I already had the rear window replaced (and, yes, I filled in the joint with the soft silicon above the new window). I think a belt, suspenders, and second belt approach is needed for this thing.
