    Grounding auxiliary battery to chassis - Does it affect IBS?

    A shared ground shouldn't be a problem if the load is provided from a separate supply, there's no draw it can sense. Just make sure that you have a diode or something on the +12v line coming from the truck to recharge the battery, so it can't draw power from that and the other battery during...

    Catalytic converter stolen; Progressive only endorse aftermarket converter, any issue?

    Nope, auto policies are the insurance industries bread and butter. It's exactly why states like here, Florida have made anyone selling auto policies also must offer homeowners insurance and other products. Homeowners is usually pegged at cost, because there's a reinsurance market for them to...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    I'm a firm believer in Butyl Tape back there, but if you must glue it, use something like Dicor instead of RTV. It's made for that. Silicone will work loose and start getting moldy. The lights are not that tight of a fit. On those parts where there's wind, water and vibration it's going to work...

    Grounding auxiliary battery to chassis - Does it affect IBS?

    Not unless you connect to the battery directly bypassing the stupid sensor on the negative terminal. Run your connections to in front of it if you want the load monitored.

    FCA used "Bait & Switch" on new vehicle rebate!

    If you ever get into a similar situation, anything that's not on the paperwork, get them to put on a "we owe" before you sign. That way it's part of the contract. This goes for promised goods or services ( tint, floormats carwashes, oil changes, whatever ). If' it's not written down, it doesn't...

    Catalytic converter stolen; Progressive only endorse aftermarket converter, any issue?

    It's called "price optimization" and they all do it. It's a "are you willing to change polices and shop around or not?" tax.

    Twin-Turbo 3.0-liter (Hurricane) Inline-Six-Cylinder (H.O.) Engine - Specifications!

    Lower compression on FI is also protective. If you lean out for any reason, a high compression will ensure detonation. Lower compression gives you some headroom literally to sense knock and pull timing and enrich fuel before the rings or valves get ejected.

    everyone hate there 3:21 gears?

    There's like 4 mountains that are tough ( like 7% to maybe a 14% grade ) when towing on the East Coast. The Appalachains have got NOTHING on the Rockies, Cascades or the Sierra Nevadas. There's a 26% grade out where my mom used to live. It's nuts.

    2022 ram 2500 cel

    You'll have to pull the code to know. Any auto parts store should do it for free. This is also primarily a 1500 forum, not much 2500 stuff here, try hdrams.com

    What’s your oil consumption rate?

    The catch with Diesel engines is they burn oil, but the diesel fuel also dilutes the oil and "refills" the oil level to some extent masking how much good oil is in there. Toss in the craptastic EGR system that fills the oil with soot and long oil changes are not such a great idea. Change your...

    everyone hate there 3:21 gears?

    The only TRX I've seen had a payload under 1,000 lbs and rated for 8,000 lbs towing. But with 700+ hp and money to burn, who cares what the ratio is?

    How to get radio update files

    If you have a TazerDT do a "full reboot" and it all works after it finishes in 90 seconds. All apps, buttons sensors, backgrounds, its all there and working right away. N None of the wait for the BS poorly programmed BCM to cut power and reboot when it feels like it while draining the battery...

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    Don't trust those website payload values. Check the doorjambs for sure before you buy. They are wildly inaccurate.

    Hemi or EcoDiesel dilemma

    Yeah on ecodiesel the payload is ridiculously undersized. On a "fully loaded" limited or longhorn you are looking at maybe 12-1300lbs max, and some even lower. All other weights subtract, so toss in a couple 150-200 lb adults and gear and now you can't shouldn't tow anything with more than a few...

    Oil Starvation Z63 “Campaign”

    Stuff breaks, stuff gets built wrong. It happens. What matters if it gets fixed promptly and you get taken care of. That's what warranties are for. That said the current QA of wait until someone complains needs to be addressed too. There's way too much ship it now fix it later going on in...

    everyone hate there 3:21 gears?

    Honestly the 8 speed transmission is so smooth and nice. I'd rather they make all the trucks the same. The gears are the same for 2-7 on both transmissions. The final drive is different and the lowest drive is different. Just make the 8th gear taller and when you are towing let the transmission...
