    Are Service Manuals Available For 2022 RAM 1500?

    I cant find that info for that USB either. Tech Authority website is for professional login and all others can kick rocks. I guess you can download manuals you have in your glovebox but I cant find much else.

    Are Service Manuals Available For 2022 RAM 1500?

    As far as I know paper manuals dont exist. Everything is digital. AllData is what I use. I print out all the info I need for each project/repair.

    Rear window leak

    Ford and GM have their issues as well. I dont think anything cools beyond 58 degrees with R134a. My BMW only drops to 60. My truck is a dark color and has premium tint and Im in Texas and the AC works well enough for me yet some here cant get theirs to work right. As far as dealerships, they are...

    Our down draft paint booths at an old shop would go to 150F. I believe the OEMs use Infrared and can reach well over 200F. We used expensive portable Infrared units for every stage of paint, primer, filler, and clear. Biggest paint problems were painting over uncured products that shrunk...

    Water Bottle Storage Hack?

    Id imagine the cupholder size is the same. Someone can modify the dimension on their slicer program before printing if needed.

    How did they get in without triggering the alarm? Did they cut the horn wire through the grille?

    New 2023 Ram had damage and repainted.

    Did they tape to the plastic or remove the plastic rail covers? Do the rail covers show signs of being pried off? Can you see overspray on anything? Is there visible tape lines? A LED flashlight will show any paint problems. If they tried to "blend" the clear there will be a shadow line where...

    Theres also different grades of PPF. Not all has the same life span. Yes it needs replacing after 5 or more years depending on the quality. Ive seen cheap PPF fail after a few summers here in Texas. Turns yellow and cracks. Just for price difference Avery Dennison Supreme Defense gloss clear is...

    A half pint of DCX 61 hardener for PPG DCU2021 clear coat is $100. Thats mixed at a 4:1:1 ratio. The clear coat is $120 for a quart. The reducer is about $55. Paint isnt cheap.

    It interesting to me how the body and bumpers are painted seperately. Id like to see more detail how everything is prepped and painted.

    Washing the truck.

    Step ladder to reach the sides and standing in the bed you can reach the back half. I step on the front tire and can reach the front section of the roof. Standing in the door jamb works too

    The parts delay and shortage is crazy. Engine blocks that used to be in stock are at least 3-4 months out. Seems like everything I need is on backorder. Still waiting for a specialty battery from years ago. Seems like everyone is feeling these pains.

    UConnect Box Update issues

    love it when companies change a bunch of features and you now have too relearn every function and find out some things are no longer available. I noticed the blue/red bar for climate in the corner changed back to the numbers. Not sure what happened.

    Bye Bye Mopar muscle cars

    Hmmm Lets see. Ive owned 2nd Gen Ram, 3rd Gen Ram , and now a 5th Gen Ram. I like them. I can also be critical of things I like. I take care of my stuff. I still have problems with the trucks. My Dad also has always been a Dodge guy. Problems with the 2nd Gen. 3 different trucks. From gas to...

    Bye Bye Mopar muscle cars

    To that extent, yes. Ive been in Ford and GM of the same years without that problem. GM OBS trucks still have dashes in them 2nd Gen Ram( and early 3rd gen) have pieces of dash left in them.They even attached the VIN tag to it so when that fell out you had to dig it out of the harness on the...
