    Will the transfer case clutches slip if

    I have been stuck a couple of times myself and have unstuck a few other vehicles. I've never had a stretch strap or stretchable rope, I have looked at them a few times and I may end up buying one some day. I have always tightened up the chain or tow strap then gotten into the throttle a bit. It...

    Will the transfer case clutches slip if

    The 19's have a slightly different t-case from the previous rams, very similar but a bit different. On both of them once the electrical activation has been done on t-case front output there is a ball and ramp function that will increase the clamping force on the clutch pak. The more traction the...

    4wd Auto feels like 4wd High

    Yes the shafts turn, but the axle disconnect allows the ring and pinion to not be spun, the spider gears in the differential do most of the running, when the axle disconnect is engaged the ring and pinion are spinning and the front driveshaft is turning in sync with the rest of the drivetrain.

    Spinning wheels and skidding even in AWD...

    I'm pretty sure you are not correct, as I recall from reading and studying these systems rather intensely after getting my first one with the auto mode a 2015 RAM which I was definitely fed up with with it's p poor transfer case, I was extremely leery of the newer model in the 19's. The 15 in...

    4wd Auto feels like 4wd High

    When you are in auto 4wd the front axle connector is engaged so both of your front axle shafts are turning from the tires rolling, the transfer case will not apply the wet clutch pack until the computer decides you have rear wheel slippage. When it detects slippage it will send a variable...

    Spinning wheels and skidding even in AWD...

    The "auto" 4wd in the RAM 1500 is a simple computer controlled wet clutch in the transfer case. When in 2wd high all the power is sent to the rear axle. When you select "auto" 4wd the computer engages the front axle disconnect, and you are driving around in 2wd still with all the power going to...

    Auto park park disabling

    I've had the seat belt extenders in my 19 for a few years it does eliminate many of the safety nazi bugs but not all of them. I put my snow tires on today went over to my brothers to use his lift. We are both big guys so we have to get out of the trucks before they are in position to be lifted...

    How to disable horn on cold start

    I don't care for all the horn tooting on door locking or unlocking and I have mine turned off. As far as the friendly toot that doesn't bother me. HOWEVER, when my girls were young and boys were calling the girls had been forewarned that they would NOT be going to answer any horn tooting, only...

    Standard rear differential. Anyone have standard diff and really miss the anti slip diff?

    I'll go against the current grain; I believe in limited slip or as my 19 has the e-locker, at times I'd rather have the limited slip. The so called BLD doesn't work for me as it cuts the engine power down when it does the brake control traction control. When you are climbing steep hills in low...

    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    This jscan sounds interesting, it would be nice at times to be able to simply turn things on or off. But does that mean I'd have to buy one of those apple thing a ma jigs?

    Another rust prevention question FF/Krown

    My prefered option would be Waxoyl, I had there system of interior cavity and under carrage on 3 vehicle so far and need to get my current 1500 in to get it done real soon. I have used the Krown product and I like it also but It does wash away a lot faster, I wouldn't be adverse to the wool wax...

    Tan Interiors in new Laramie?

    My 15 Big Horn had the gray interior, my 19 Laramie has the tan much nicer. I really dislike black interiors, they show the dust and dirt too much.

    Car Wash

    Well heck, just to keep the conversation going good I've been running all my trucks through the brush and moving shammie type carwash for at least 25 years now. At one time it was almost every other day and in the winter months 3-5 times a week. That was when it was close by in my travels now...

    Looking for a new shotgun

    For a traveling gun I would agree with the shotgun, but I'd want a magazine fed gun. Should be much faster to load and easier to have unloaded if need be. The first two in this artivle sound good and wouldn't look to scary with 3-5 round mags, and the 10-20 rounders could be tucked well out of...
