The usual suspects that turn these 20W/30W threads into train wrecks I'm sure have seen this thread title already. Yes, I know I'm one of those suspects. But impressed with the discipline so far.

Does it sound like something internal in the engine or something down the line vibrating? Hopefully it's something in the exhaust that's maybe loose and that when you're in 4 cylinder mode it causes a vibration.

It should, they made no bodywork changes. The way they accommodated the new grill and headlight design was to widen the plastic trim piece under it. I would still double check with the dealership parts department for compatibility. It's possible they could have changed something with how it...

Gotcha, yeah I'm not sure I've never seen one go that high on the nearly fully charged battery.

You have a new fully charged battery and it's charging at 14.9v right away?

14.9v is the typical high of normal range an alternator will operate in, usually if it detects a low battery. When it drops voltage to about 14.5v, that is about a 50% capacity, around 14.2v at 80% and 13.9v full battery. This is for non-E-Torque. The questions for me is less about your...

What's up!

Your idle is fine, especially hot idle will drop to 29 psi, typical just hot around 31-34 psi at idle. However, your at speed seems off, I will typically see 50 psi at constant throttle at speeds as low as 35 mph. I wonder if the sensor is off somehow, maybe associated with your cooler...

I've been changing oil on vehicles without dipsticks for 20 years, it's even easier. Sometimes dipsticks don't show accurate oil level until you drive a few miles to circulate the oil level and wait 5 minutes. I've found, at least on my BMWs, that the oil level is accurate a lot earlier...

I do all my services myself, you won't lose your warranty if you keep all your receipts and a log of when you did your services, there is even a section in the official Mopar (my Mopar) website to log and upload your receipts, however you don't even have to do that to maintain your warranty...

PDR is just as much an art as science, in case you haven't tried this already, I would check your local Yelp reviews for the highest and best reviewed PDR guys, best ones are mobile, and get a quote from them.

Charge more and give less, this covers warranty and insurance these days.

You mentioned the back-up sensors didn't warn you in your first post, just to confirm, you have the auto brakes shut-off, but your rear sensors are still operational? The center console toggle for the rear sensors are still on?

How much is your deductible? Also, how important to you that your truck will have damage/collision history on a car history report? The damage looks small, a good PDR guy and probably remove the ding for about $100-$150 range, maybe even cheaper. The good PDR guys can do ding removal even...

I don't think it's normal either, are you loosing coolant at all in your expansion tank?

I've never smelled coolant, though my nose isn't super sensitive, but I will tell you your temps are 100% normal in the 6 years I've owned my truck. I've always used the exact digital temps versus those dummy gauges, and your temp cycle is the way your truck is supposed to work. However, that...

For DIY records you posted, they are there, I get that message sometimes (for the last few months), I have to fiddle with some of the links to get to the right section, but they are all there. Their website sucks since they likely have a 3rd party handling it these days, thanks Tavares. I...

I mean most of the BMWs and GTRs I've heard with their inline twin turbos sound pretty awesome, but then do you want a loud, crackle tune sound coming from your big truck? Though if I had a hurricane, I'd probably do that, try to make it sound like an F80, probably do something with a blow-off...

I think like you, when I have work done on my vehicles, like say Discount Tire rotation & balance, I always try to get it scheduled ideally at 10am, Tuesday through Thursday. I avoid Monday mornings or Friday afternoons. However in the case of Stellantis service departments, I highly doubt...

Gotcha, it's up to temp and rhythmic which usually doesn't mean a dropped lifter, which tends to have an irregular tick or lifter portion only which tends to go away after a few minutes. Sounds like an exhaust leak, but not a little one that goes away after it warms up, but maybe a few...
