Been getting these lights randomly. Dealer diagnosed bad LF wheel speed sensor last time, a week or so ago, and repaired under max care less deductible. Few days later light comes back on. Very random, can be while driving, after being started and before moving, etc. Anyone have a similar...

I had to change driver side on 2020 Laramie. Before 50k. Bought one online but disappointing.

You are probably fine. I would not do that regularly. Also note that the problem with being overweight, in the bed or with a trailer, is stopping. Everyone wants to know if a truck can pull a given load. The better question is whether it can stop the load in a safe and controlled manner.

No. Complete waste of money.

In the manual, 87 is acceptable for the V8 5.7, 89 is recommended. So 88 is likely a little better but whether it makes sense depends upon the cost comparison. FWIW, I hear light pinging on my hemi, particularly in the summer, if it has 87 but with the 89 it is quiet so I typically go with 89...

When you change the battery in one of these trucks, all of the above is normal and takes a day or so to clear. If you want to avoid this next time you need a battery, buy the “dongle” that connects the OBDII port to the cigarette lighter on your jump box, and then change the battery. Most auto...

You need to work with the dealer. Be polite and firm. No one on the internet can help you, assuming this is legit, which seems odd for them to need so long to respond at all.

If I had it to do again I would get the bench so my dog could sit in the middle on trips. With a Seat belt of course.

All I am saying is that at least on the change, you have a fact based data point - ZF’s view on service - to justify departing from the standard factory recommendation. The rest is pure speculation of the unhelpful sort that you routinely see on the internet. I need to check my manual, but is...

Call me skeptical. As built the 8hp is one of the best transmissions in the world. Messing with things improperly is the risk. Poor fitment for one. Also, if you are still under extended factory warranty, why would you want to provide a discussion point for denying coverage. Adding fluid...

Right I understand. But if you have priced one of these transmissions then you would know that the better approach is to buy the original part from Mopar and not screw around with an aftermarket to save money. I am not sure why servicing transmissions has become such a saga, so I sympathize...

What is wrong with the original pan? The 8hp70 is one of the best, if not the best, transmissions in the world.

I have the Mopar soft trifold. It's excellent - makes the bed water tight and has held up extremely well. My truck is a '20 so I wonder if they have changed them.

There is a certain amount of additional noise that is normal when in 4WD as compared to 2WD. It shouldn't be excessive, but you will hear some incremental drivetrain noise. I would have it checked next time it is in for service but otherwise I wouldn't worry about it.

Every manufacturer gets the occasional bad apple. Not trying to be a wise guy, but with that track record I would dump the truck at the end of the warranty period. The best indicator of a vehicle's reliability after the warranty expires is the vehicle's warranty before the warranty expires...

It’s time to change the battery in my truck after 4 plus years and 45k miles. Is there any way, or tips, to minimize error messages, CELs, or other glitches that I have read occur as the Hal 9000 reboots itself after the change? Thanks in advance.

The low oil pressure warning was a software issue? How do you know? It could be but an oil pressure gauge and sender is a relatively simple affair. Folks better be sure.

Understood, but if you are getting oil pressure warnings then that would be a viscosity concern.

Thank you. We tow a horse trailer and have never seen much over 217. The trans and water temps are also far higher than what I have seen. This is the 5.7 but that is pretty hot. If I were seeing oil temps near 230 or higher I would go with a higher viscosity.

What was the oil temperature at the end of that run?
