    The no FOB detected nightmare

    I have the same problem, along with "fob battery low". I think I have narrowed it down the the antenna in the canter console. From everything I have been able to find out, the antenna in the center console controls the enter and go, and the PTS button, which is the issue I am having. So, guess I...

    E- Torque problem, Truck is dead?

    Ram truck with eTorque will still start even if the Motor Generator Unit (MGU) fails. The eTorque system is a mild hybrid system, and while the MGU assists with starting, it is not the primary starter mechanism. The truck will use the 12-volt battery and a conventional starter motor to initiate...

    E- Torque problem, Truck is dead?

    ETorque is a generator/motor unit. If it quits, then the 12v battery will eventually die, but to my knowledge, the truck will still start.. If the RF hub or possibly other electronic device dies, so does the truck, and also all electrical devices, regardless of the 12v battery charge...

    Saw a Jeep CJ in that same position once, but they did it on top of a Jersey barrier, and they are only 8" wide on the top.

    Truck thinks it is connected to a trailer…

    Because the tecs just plug a computer into the truck and expect the answer to the problem to pop out so they can replace a part. They are not mechanics, they are parts replacers, and really can not repair anything, or figure anything out if the computer doesn't tell them what is wrong.

    Cold air intake

    Track gains mean squat. Too many human variables. Show mw before and after dyno runs. Numbers please.

    4wd high misuse

    I have to agree. The "I got 4WD so I can drive 70/75 0n ice and snow, I just stick it in 4WD and go" mentality is suicidal. The problem is that the auto industry has fostered the idea to soccer moms, and the population in general, that they NEED an AWD/ 4WD vehicle to get through winter...

    4wd high misuse

    The old man always said that 2WD was for going and getting into trouble, and 4WD was for backing out of it. I worked construction in the PNW from '75 until 2011, and put from 40k to 60k a year on my truck. In bad weather, snow and ice, invariably the rig upside down in the ditch/median, was a...

    Cold air intake

    That's WITH a tuner. It isn't what He asked. I believe he is talking stock truck. HP gains can be made on modified trucks, but that is dependent on how much you want to spend per pony. These stock trucks come with a CAI configured intake, as opposed to the old air cleaners under the hood where...

    E torque alternator.

    There are thousands of them on the road with no problems at all. Mine and others on this forum have had no issues. Blanket statements with no numbers, and only personal opinion are of no use to anyone. I realize that you have an opinion, but it has nothing to do with OP's post.

    Cold air intake

    The truck most likely comes with a CAI. Pretty much all do now. If you are looking for looks, go for it. If you are looking for HP/Torque gains, forget it and save your money.

    E torque alternator.

    No we weren't. I got what I wanted, and at 88k still going strong. If it quits, I'll just rebuild it.

    Went roughly 750lbs over Payload Capacity

    Considering that this is a picture of a TOTALY improperly loaded 3500 RAM with most of the weight behind the rear axle, I would say the OP is probably good to go as long as it isn't a daily occurrence.

    Truck took off on me

    Apples and oranges, but aside from that, ETorque doesn't control the throttle.

    Truck took off on me

    I really don't think it is the cause. More than likely the engine management electronic throttle.

    Still forgot the dimmer switch. And, if you want to really mess with them, give it an emergency hand brake that you had to twist to release.

    Truck took off on me

    That's the trouble with these new trucks, and it will only get worse as self driving become a thing. Gonna have to add this to the "Perfect Country Song" now. MY TRUCK LEFT ME, and took the dog. I sure miss that dog.
