    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    I definitely did not correct for emissivity on those readings. I'll be pulling the fender liners for something else soon, and if I remember, will try to get some readings with adjusted emissivity. What do you think, stainless, dulled, and a tad grimey, say, 0.30?

    Possessed Uconnect 12 in 2020 Limited 1500

    Hi @RamCares could you help this guy out with his electrical and bureacratic nightmare?

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Directly downstream (right below the flange) is indeed the catalytic converter, hence the significant increase in temperature from the header tube measurement to the collector measurement. Those cats like to get nice and toasty, or maybe "burny" is a better description.

    Rear window leak

    I did the same thing with a urethane. Tested at the self serve car wash with the high pressure wand, got the driver's side to seal, but passenger side still leaks. I took a quick look and it appears I may have missed a small section on the passenger side. Maybe I'll just put a potted plant on...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Here to add even more confusion and chaos, with a highly super scientific test of stainless non-coated header temperatures on 5th gen 1500 Hemi. Engine was at it's normal operating temperature, meaning, hot.

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    I feel like there is something to this, but I'm not a software guy, and I have no idea how to prove the theory. Maybe someone on here can find the line of code that causes it? Also my 2019 has not done the drop in about a year, this is after cleaning the throttle body and installing an OCC. I...

    Possessed Uconnect 12 in 2020 Limited 1500

    Wow, that is very frustrating. Not sure about your state, but maybe it's time to explore one of the lemon laws? Maybe others on here can help with your infotainment issues? There are some other very smart folks on here that are really good with electronics. Try doing a search on here for blank...

    Help truck won’t start

    Th RF hub is the device on the truck that communicates with the key fobs. The RF hub is located right behind the rear seat on the cab wall. The sliding rear windows on these trucks are known for the window frame cracking, which then causes a water leak. The water leak can then drip down the cab...

    Sway Bar Link Pins/Bushing upgrade for 2019-2022 Ram 1500

    Try this, (Or maybe you already have?): disconnect the sway bar links, drive it around the block, or wherever you notice the noise the most, preferably on a light traffic day, like a Sunday morning, and listen for the same noises. This might help eliminate the item(s) making the noise. I have a...

    Help truck won’t start

    Well, it's something, and there is a module associated with the air dam. I just hope it's not my other suspicion, a water logged RF hub. I know it sounds odd, but since the air dam module communicates with the PCM, and is disconnected, the PCM could maybe be receiving some weird signals, and...

    Help truck won’t start

    Yeah this really sucks. Hope you get it fixed soon. Have a couple suggestions, might have already been done: Check all 30-ish grounds. Check resistance in the battery ground cable. Rear windows are notorious for leaking water into the cab. The RF hub that communicates with the key fobs is...

    A/C Performance

    I was going to work on this myself, but just noticed in the TSB, the evaporator core gets replaced, and I don't have recovery equipment. I'll check with some local shops first, then if I get desperate, might try Ramcares and a dealership, (which I'm not excited about). But for now with hot...

    A/C Performance

    Me too, <sigh>. 2019 Rebel here, bought the truck awhile back with 36K miles on it, and could tell immediately it was not cooling the cabin as well as my 2003 Dakota. The Rebel AC really struggles with two people and two dogs in hot climates. AND my spouse gets to take the pizzz, about how...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    I'll bet those flooded cars were really challenging to get back on the road. And yes I hear all the time about the "parts cannon" as others have mentioned. I did not have much of an understanding of the CAN before this truck, my previous truck, a Dakota was essentially trouble free for the 17...

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    It really could be anything, for instance the module that controls a door lock inside the door can malfunction and make the whole CAN very angry. Keep us updated on any fixes.

    Wild Electrical issues fixed

    Did they mean it's the BCM (Body Control Module)? Hope they found the actual problem, these CAN BUS issues are really hard to solve. It would be kind of like my laptop hooked up to the internet, but my laptop stops working and then causes the whole internet to go down. Here's an example of how...

    It's really beautiful out there. Looking forward to cooler weather though. Recommend any areas/trails?

    Post your Rebel pics!

    We spent a part of the day in the Hills, and then headed up to Deadman's Creek (Named for an actual grim event) for camping, it was much cooler, 45 deg F at night. Looking forward to heading back to the Hills though, once it cools off. Will definitely try it again in September.

    That pic in the rearview, is like an 80's horror movie. Ahhhh run, it's getting closer!

    Post your Rebel pics!

    It was our first time out to Alabama Hills and Eastern Sierras. Really gorgeous and interesting areas. When do the Hills cool down typically? It was hot enough last week, that I ended up carrying one of our dogs on the quick arch hike...
