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

    Tell the dealer to quote them to replace every single damaged part, no repairs, soldering or welding. They cut the flange, whole new pipe. Cut the wire, whole new harness. That's how you deal with insurance make it really really expensive.

    Mark Dodge Thread

    Yeah its safe. There's bump stops at the bottom you hit when you are all the way down like in the first entry exit level. You might feel the truck hitting those as it feels like a normal rides like **** suspension instead of the rides on a cloud air suspension. You may also head the wheel...

    Mark Dodge Thread

    The tank has extra air. There's probably a leak on one side of the system so it can let air out, but it's not moving back in. Once the tank pressure drops to a certain point the system is supposed to shut down. It does load/level balance. It could be even a sensor making the system think one...

    88 Octane 15% ethanol?

    In these trucks it won't at all. In very high mileage ( efficient ) vehicles it does. In my Civic HX, Volt and ELR running non ethanol gave me 5-10 more mpg than 10% ethanol gas.

    Problems with power running boards

    If there's any resistance when it is opening or closing it "stops". It's anti pinch protection. Stick your head under the back 1/3 of the step and the motor and lever are there. check if there's anything in the linkage or anywhere near the joints that could cause it to bind.

    There's no compressor, it's a sealed system with a fixed nitrogen tank. If there's a leak the system shuts down. The pump only moves air back and forth from the tank to the gas struts. Once the low pressure limit is reached the pump will stop working as a safety, it shouldn't damage it.

    Oil Starvation Z63 “Campaign”

    Did they actually do an oil change, swab the pan and cut the filter open and look? Cause just checking the dipstick isn't going to cut it, literally. AFAIK ecodiesels with bearing damage don't really exhibit glitter oil anyways. The bearings spin and may maybe there's large shavings that drop...

    Problems with power running boards

    No WD40. White lithium. You can get it in a spray and it will stick on and stay there, not remove whatever lubrication there is and make it worse. I live on terrible dirt roads and my running boards get caked in crap. they rarely if ever fail me once I started lubing them.

    TAZER DT for 2019 RAM 1500

    Turn on backup camera to see trailer when towing..... I use mine with the air suspension to backup to the trailer ball and snatch it without even getting out of the truck. Once under the hitch I can raise the truck, then get out, lock the receiver and throw on the chains and lights. No guessing...

    2022 First Oil Change

    Viscosity goes by temperature. So if you run hot constantly, you need/should to increase viscosity. The lower viscosity oils are soley for MPG, until they brick engines, and then FCA increases the viscosity requirements. Just be sure if you go into lower temperature startup temps that you switch...

    Ram 1500 heads up display

    You'd wish they could pull the windshield. They have to yank out the entire dashboard. It's crazy, but like par for the course for anything involving the cluster, wiring or AC in these trucks.

    Oil Starvation Z63 “Campaign”

    Dealer won't do anything unless the computer tells them to. No obvious noise, or message, they'll send you on your way.

    Moron contractor hit my truck with a skid loader (video)

    Whatever you do do not let them fix anything. Have your own contractor do it and bill them.

    Oil Starvation Z63 “Campaign”

    By the time it knocks, its dead. If it's an oil starvation problem, your first notice would probably be a low oil pressure light. By then it's also probably dead, and definitely dead if you kept driving and didn't stop the engine immediately. Then after driving a while then the knocking starts...

    Oil Starvation Z63 “Campaign”

    It's gonna fark the bearings way way before there's bore damage. Ecodiesels already are known to have crap bearings that spin from the last iteration of FCA using a lighter oil 5w30 oil. Sounds like free engines for everyone again. If they can actually build any.

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

    If anything powertrain fails they are going to blame the aftermarket cat. Insurance companies hate liability. Tell them Ram said warranty will be void and ask them to put in writing that they indemnify you and Ram should anything be damaged by their choice of cheap parts and to agree to extend...
