    After jump start truck wont shift out of 1st gear

    Okay, that's odd, right? These trucks (and all newer vehicles) are best described as mobile computers. With that in mind, a few thoughts: 1. Why was a jump start needed? Do you know why the battery was too discharged to start? Meaning, did you use your battery and know what is going on, or...

    Front Left speakers don't work...is there an easy fix?

    I'll write this here for anyone who runs across my previous post. After sitting in my driveway all night, I turned the truck to ACC, turned on the FM radio...and the front left speakers worked. As did streaming. So...this is a puzzle. I -do- use a radar detector linked (via bluetooth) to my...

    Front Left speakers don't work...is there an easy fix?

    Folks, I just realized my nagging dissatisfaction with my audio (Laramie, 2021) is due to the front left speakers not working. Using the fader and balance controls, all the other corners are fine. I've tried it with 2 streaming services and also the radio...so, it's not the source. I'm hoping...

    Draining the radiator

    That's what I usually do, but between the intercooler (ecodiesel) position and the funky clip on the radiator hose...I balked. ;)

    Considering a Retrax Pro XR Tonneau and found this YT Video - Thoughts?

    I'm thinking about the hard tri-folding one. Hmm. (Forget the name) But, I like the tracks on the Retrax. I have some racks for my bikes and I use them for that. I used grey electrical conduit waterproof fittings for the drainlines after the original ones kept falling off. I put the metal ring...

    Considering a Retrax Pro XR Tonneau and found this YT Video - Thoughts?

    I have one (and bought one for my son). So, 2 data points. I have not been satifisfied. It leaks too much. I've removed each cover (body work, rear window TSB, etc.), and reinstalled. The instructions say the rails should be angled about 3^. Yeah, good luck with that. Without an aggressive...

    The dreaded leaking and cracked rear window frame

    My dealer sent my truck off to the specialist auto glass company (Winston-Salem, Pfaff's Glass). Glad a pro glass company did it. Now, was it the rookie there? Maybe. When I got it back, I added the Permatex fix. Belt and suspenders... Going on 2 years of leak free.

    Draining the radiator

    I was buying some distilled water at the grocery store, about 4 or 6 gallons. Some for cars, some to drink (this is before all the water bottles became available). The young lady asked about car issues...since it was distilled. (Like you suggested, that's the only type of water I'll add, whether...

    Draining the radiator

    I'm a big believer in early fluid changes. Yeah...100,000 mile/10 year coolant interval is what Mopar says. Other than cooling (and preventing freezing and boil over), coolant has sacrificial anode dissolved in it. Like the zinc block on a boat, it prevents the other metal from rotting and...

    Rear window leak

    Those strips are ONE PIECE from front windshield to rear glass. I've ordered replacement strips...one came damaged. They bend easily. The ends snap on. I think you'll damage it if you pull it off. It's very thin metal with a coating of plastic/vinyl. The metal is c-shaped, with a flare. As...

    Horrible First Impressions - Huge Fail

    Yeah, that sucks. Since you already took ownership of it...you do own it. Name the dealer. I don't think anyone would be happy with a new vehicle with those issues. Some states have laws that allow a return, with full refund, of a purchased vehicle within a narrow timeframe after buying it...

    Strange AC issues

    Nicely done. Of course...why couldn't the dealership figure that out??? What does it take to program the module? Is this something the dealership has to do, or can you do it?

    Stellantis recalls 1.5M Ram trucks to fix software bug that can disable stability control

    Could be because the recall doesn't go "live" until October 3rd? Or, just some vehicles are affected by it. If the latter, then what is the determining factor between affected and unaffected? (Meantime, this would be my first dealer flash/recall since I got my GDE tune. I'll have to verify...

    sealed transmission nightmare. Skip plate recs?

    I have a PPE (Pacific Power Engineering?) pan. Somewhere I posted about installing it. I'll edit this if I find the thread and link it. Aluminum.

    Exhaust regeneration message, who else sees this?

    This has been my experienced, too. GDE tune (listed as an option, that I wanted) shows me the regen message. I never saw it before.
