    Recall of High Pressure Fuel Pump

    My bold: you mean the Bosch CP4.2 pumps are available? The "bad" ones that need to be replaced by the earlier version pump? (I wonder how easy/hard/useful it would be to try to dig through a pull-a-part yard and grab some CP3's?)

    Help truck won’t start

    Good plan! Eventually they'll guess right and swap the needed part. :(

    Rear window leak

    For the leaks, what's the part number for the new gasket around the brake light? (<- I've searched... I'm going to get some hail damage repaired, and I -know- they'll pull the brake light out to fix the roof and I want to install a fresh seal.) Thanks.

    Help truck won’t start

    I'd ask the dealership for a full refund for the mis-diagnosis and the, therefore, unneeded repair.

    Help truck won’t start

    50k miles, so out of warranty? Did you at least get the old ECU back? (<- I mean, a "shorted wire in the ECU" is something that I'd be VERY curious to see.)

    An Engineer's Ultimate Guide To 3.21 VS 3.92 Axle Ratio

    Funny...but I pay the neighbor's kid to help me get my truck (3.21 gears, natch) out of my driveway. He's got a nice 10 speed bike, better than the one pictured above. When I'm ready to go, he grabs my door handle and starts peddling. Once I'm up to speed (about 5-10 mph) he lets me go. He goes...

    Differential & Transfer Case service at 50k miles??

    Like @cskindt said, this sounds like a CLASSIC case of a limite-slip differential that is missing its friction modifier. Thumbnail sketch: your limited slip internal clutch is "too grippy". That locks both tires to the same speed. During turns on pavement, something has to give, so one tire...

    A/C Performance

    This looks VERY promising. I cannot imagine that RAM would have a significant difference in design. If the HD trucks use an evap temp sensor, so too should ours. Adding a resistor in parallel to create an artificially hot sensor temp to fool the compressor...is a simple solution to putting...

    Toggle switch for console that matches?

    Folks, Anyone know of any aftermarket switches that match the RAM interior style? I'm thinking about the air conditioning in my truck. I have a black interior and I think that using the "air conditioning hack" could help cool the interior. (It's not horrible, but I think it could be better...

    RF hub failed - now I know

    This makes me want to open up my rear seat area to put a water diverter above my RF hub. I already had the rear window replaced (and, yes, I filled in the joint with the soft silicon above the new window). I think a belt, suspenders, and second belt approach is needed for this thing.

    Mopar or AMP Research? Which would you get?

    Here is a link to thread with pix of my install. I -love- the manual three-way switch. I placed it near the foot pedal adjustment rocker. YMMV. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/amp-powersteps-76240-01a.29575/post-536045

    A/C Performance

    My 2021 Laramie has good AC. But...I wonder. My '03 Honda Pilot has a coolant shutoff valve, electric, slaved to the climate control. If I want heat, it's open and fills the heater core with hot coolant. With the AC on, that valve closes, and keeps the hot coolant out of my air box. I would...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Me? Today I added the hail damage... Sigh. Off to insurance and estimate and then paint and body. (Fortunately, not terrible. About a dozen or two dings. Mostly hood, a few on the roof and door windowsills.)

    Transmission falling out of Drive on downshift, blinking, displaying "shift to P" and back

    What spare parts and fluids do you keep in the truck at all times?

    In no particular order... Jumper pack Jumper cables Compressor Ice scraper Golf umbrella Spare fuses (enough for every fuse type) OBD II reader Breaker Bar Various Hand Tools (sufficient for most bolts) 1 qt Oil Diesel Additive Water Wire Cutters (In case stuff wraps around axle/drivetrain)...

    Rear Window Leak Class Action Lawsuit Status Update

    Following. Disappointed to see only 38 plaintiffs. I tried to contact the attorney and the website I used rebuffed me. Something about the class action isn't open yet. So, hopefully they'll assign staff to look at this forum and find how widespread the issue is and subpoena all rear-window...

    Best Dash Cam

    Not that I recall. Currently away from the truck on a trip. If it does, I'll post back here with pix.
