    Air conditioning Hack

    I'd probably go with this one, as it's specifically designed to control coolant flow to/from a heater core - so I doubt it'll melt down: https://www.summitracing.com/parts/vta-461171?seid=srese1&gclid=Cj0KCQjw753rBRCVARIsANe3o47sPzE9d9I2ZKX_CbL9TkiZDH8ci_d1E2HKOv3WvMpGfFkWI7vXgdkaApwVEALw_wcB...

    Had to get new underwear last night !!

    I've experienced death wobble before, and I agree that this sounds much worse. The front end hopping up indicates to me that he probably broke, or lost the connection to, one of his tie rod ends. The front end hopped as one tire flopped inwards, no longer connected to the rest of the steering.

    Ram box and bed extender?

    To my knowledge, I was never selling mine.

    Bean counters at work? At the cost of RF-1234YF of $4.50 per oz., at 500K trucks per year - $4.5M in savings?

    Truck just had a heart attack

    Battery explode? I had that happen once on a fairly new 2003 truck. Made a mess all over the engine compartment.

    Do not confuse a TSB with a recall. A recall is a statement from the manufacturer, effectively saying, "We screwed this up when we built these trucks - here's what we want you to do to fix it". A TSB, or Technical Service Bulletin, is a way of communicating to dealer service depts that, "Hey...

    Air conditioning performance

    I, personally, don't have an A/C issue - but a lot of others do. The reason I asked you about the refrigerant sticker, was that another member just recently had a similar process at his dealer. They noted he had an "incorrect" sticker that called for 510g of refrigerant, and replaced it with a...

    Air conditioning performance

    Terrific - thanks so much for the help. :rolleyes: I know you're new here, but we've been looking at this A/C issue nine ways from Sunday for quite a while now, and we're trying to piece together info. from a lot of different people, as to what was wrong, what might have been done, and what...

    Air conditioning performance

    Lift your hood, and on the passenger side, find the A/C Refrigerant charge sticker. Tell us the part number (on the side, bunch of numbers followed by either AA or AB), then tell us what the charge weight in grams reads (either 510g or 567g). If you can post a copy of your work order from the...

    And if you get the same brain-dead, cable company CSR retread that I got - hang up and call back ;)

    Line-x cleaning

    Soap, water, and a stiff brush - always worked well for me. A turbo nozzle on a pressure washer is a pretty good choice, too.

    So your main screen doesn't show the correct model? And, the grill, for example, doesn't show the following?

    Does the front of the card say: 2019 SERVICE INFORMATION RAM TRUCK 1500 (DT) Shoot me a private msg. here if you can't get it resolved w/ Tech Authority, or if you just don't want to wait for them. I can most likely fix it for you.

    Air conditioning Hack

    That's the right spot, on the correct hose. That's the supply to the heater core. I wouldn't worry about the temp. It can only get to a max. of around 220°F or so. Nylon doesn't melt until it gets over 500°F. And even then, the knob is only a handle around a regular steel hex nut - the...

    What Fuel is everyone using?

    From the owner's manual: This engine is designed to meet all emissions regulations and provide satisfactory fuel economy and performance when using high-quality unleaded gasoline having an octane range of 87 to 89 as specified by the (R+M)/2 method. The use of 89 octane “Plus” gasoline is...

    DT Service Manual

    Very strange. What happens if you browse to that location directly with file explorer (d:\en_US\graphics), and view the .PNG file directly? Maybe we should take this to email, as riveting as this back and forth troubleshooting must be to the 5th Gen Ram community at large :) Feel free to email...

    DT Service Manual

    Okay - that works, if not a little tedious. You have to launch the browser, click past two "warning - this only works with IE" dialogs, then click the IE tab icon, THEN you can finally enter the service manual. I'll still probably do it this way, but for those looking for single-click access...

    DT Service Manual

    Believe me, I'd be MUCH happier if it worked with Chrome - but it's all ActiveX crap. We're stuck with IE. It's at least better than the earlier manuals on CD. The one for my '09 Ram would only run with IE7. Later versions of IE had to be configured to emulate the old browser, through the...
