Probably lessons learned with the Cummins turbos, even though most don't cool down the turbo, you should practice that. Now if your towing, especially at the max ratings, you should idle engine 5 mins to help cool down the turbos, and don't rely on the ECM to determine that. It probably will run...

I like to warm up any vehicle, at any ambient temperature before driving, however I do start out with light throttle because the transmission takes longer to warm up. I get up to 55 MPH within a 1/4 mile.

Stay tuned for an OHC V8, that will be overcomplicated and expensive for internal repairs.

Correct, so I have no idea how much they added, but it drained out of the fill hole when I removed the cap.

You have to be careful about the oil level in a differential after driving. I had a XXXX oil change company tell me my diff was low (2X4) and asked to top it off, so I said OK. It turned out to be way overfull, evidenced by removing the fill plug and having it drain out the hole. That was after...

@Johnmyers1500, what did the dealer find? Also, welcome to 5th Gen Ram.

Sounds like a faulty battery.

There should be enough voltage to put it on a trickle charger and charge up the battery. New school cars and trucks act weird when low voltage present. You might want to jump start it and see what happens, then at least you'll know it was low battery if it acts normal, then put it on a charger.

As posted, 30K mile trans fluid change was early, but seeing the history on the dash towing more than likely heavy. 10K mile interval is way too often and a waist of money. I was told by the service writer, 50K first fluid change then 30K after. But as long as the maintenance schedule allows is...

I believe its to soon for techs to know whats normal. Yes he was a little lazy, but (I'll assume in his mind) he might think he could end up going down the rabbit hole looking for wires that may or may not exist. The question I have for the tech is, "is the kit going to cost me more, or, do I...

However you must add the friction modifier additive, regardless. https://www.amsoil.com/p/amsoil-slip-lock-differential-additive-adatb/

@cierav, is there any chance you can loan your car to your son, and you rent a vehicle. There is also the life lesson of team work to solve an issue. At 18, he is ahead of alot of of kids his age. I too taught my daughter hard work, honesty and self sufficiency. Both her and her husband got...

I would have broken the pallet down and started stacking at the front of the bed first then stacking less and less as I went back to the tail gate. That way your moving alot of weight forward and sharing some of the weight to the front axle. However I worked at Lowes in the lumber department...

The Dealer email survey is for their records and marketing. The National Ram email survey is for Ram as well as rating their Dealers networks. I'll assume they have a tier level, as to better compensation for top rated Dealers. Some dealers will call you to help with the ratings for the National...

:rolleyes:

I've towed at 23K GCW without trailer brakes, not by choice, and you have to slow down and keep a lot of distance between you and the vehicle your behind. The toy hauler I was towing was a commercial tow to the customer in Salt Lake when the pigtail shorted between the trailer brake signal and...

Its almost like your trying to justify your choice with 3:21 gearing. The 3:92 is to help in increasing the GCW capability to compete with the competitors, while protecting the trucks drivetrain. Well you did get one thing right, I'm not a moderator, but trust me I'm not going anywhere. Now can...

We need to respond to the OP, and answer questions he’s asking, not having a pissing contest about ratio’s. We need to read more about the OP’s experience, details on his truck & other questions he might have. But if I was new and read this pissing contest, I would find another forum.

Leave it in T/H at all times, the transmission will chose the right gear wether you have 3:21 or 3:92. Now if your on a long down hill run, as an example traveling north on the 5 or 99 coming off the Grape Vine. You have a long stretch of a down hill run, I think around 10 miles or so, you can...

Yup, and I haven't had any Car troubles since then.
