    Well, it’s broken:(

    I’m still not impressed based upon your early post. Your opinion means nothing to me as it’s ridiculous. I’d rather hear from the OP and how he is doing with the dealership. Any news yet 22Rebel_USCG?

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Aww, cute…trying to pull out the “Mine’s bigger than yours”…. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂. What a joke! I’ll play…I grew up in Alaska for 48 years of my life and have driven 4WD’s all my life in real winter long snow, black ice and assorted conditions on the tundra…not that light dusting you get in New York for a...

    Fuel Filter source?

    Typically, Mopar will have a part number that ends in AA or AB and then is superseded with the next version being AC. They are the same part number, just a recent version. I'm not a parts guys but I can tell you the AA fits my 2021 Ecodiesel perfectly. Fuel filters (IMHO) are dirt cheap...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    And I’ll bet you’re one of the guys hauling a$$ down the freeway at 65 mph in 4Lo wondering why it is so loud in the cab…just before the t-case grenades. 😂

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Not that this is necessarily related to the shaft failure (who knows at this point) but that is an inaccurate statement and anyone who has read an owner's manual or been properly trained in utilization of a 4WD system knows it. 4Lo provides maximum traction and power to the wheels - period. It...

    Missed Opportunities

    Based upon the links below, his words appeared to be based upon what NHTSA reviewed...it still leaves open the potential manufacture liability thus the reason they don't have express-up for the rear windows. https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/why-car-power-windows-work-differently/...

    Missed Opportunities

    I was told by a dealer when ordering my daughter's Ram that they can't do it - nor any manufacture - due to child safety in the rear seat. We were told a child could have their arm sticking out the window and the automatic rear windows would pinch their arm. I asked what the difference was...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    FYI...the reason I mentioned Ford as we do have some "Ford" folks in the family who insist on driving them and Zeigler has both a Chrysler/Jeep/Dodge/Ram dealership as well as a separate Ford dealership in Michigan. They're top notch and always open to a phone call to explain with zero - and I...

    Best place to purchase Mopar official Mopar warranty- dont buy from local dealer!

    In over fourteen years of purchasing extended warranties for Rams and Fords for my kids, in-laws, brothers, a sister and parents, we've never had any issue with a Zeigler plan being accepted at the local dealer. They sell genuine MOPAR and Ford extended warranties...no tricks like the off-brand...

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    One consideration could be it is colder in Maryland than in Houston. The engine may not get as hot as often up there plus even when living in Alaska I saw regens more frequently in the winter than I did in the summer. I'm not familiar with LELink thus I'm not much help. I swear by this cheap...

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    Soot mass goes as high as 59% a few times but that is when making a number of short trips in a row (which doesn't occur often) and it is reduced by a run on the highway since I live out in the country. Keep in mind the 59% is the high as it fluctuates between 38% and 59% based upon the amount...

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    Requested Regeneration State of DPF - Normal Regeneration Active is what I utilize. It will go from zero when off to one when in regen (top left gauge). Percentage of Soot Mass (%) is what I utilize to monitor the soot and see it count down during regen (second gauge down on the left).

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    FYI...one thing I noticed last night is when I came home, I failed to look at my gauges on my iPhone from my MX+. When I pulled in the driveway and put it in park, I could see and hear the engine was rev'ed up to 1100 RPMs which is higher than normal for a hot engine. I quick glanced at my...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Agreed however use of 4LO should be the last thing you utilize before calling a tow truck or a buddy you’re mud bogging with to pull you out of extremely deep snow or mud.

    Well, it’s broken:(

    I’ve been driving four wheel drive SUVs and trucks since the 1970’s, and have used 4LO only twice - in 3-1/2’ of snow on an icy road in a mountain pass at night in Alaska and I was creeping along to ensure I didn’t spend the night in the ditch (wherever it was) in the middle of nowhere. 4HI has...

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    Yes, I sent the Service Manager and General Manager an email with a lot more pics of the mess as the oil proceeded to blowdown the drivetrain as I drove home. My solution is simple I’ve done dozen of oil changes in my life without so much as a drip. I did the first oil change on my current...

    New emissions recall for the 3rd Gen diesels

    Here in Texas we have Ram Care which gives every new Ram purchaser two years of free oil changes and tire rotations (two per year). I took mine in to Finnegan CJDR of Rosenberg on Friday for the 5,000 mile change and rotation. It took two hours and when the Service Writer went over my service...
