I think they're aluminum shafts, which need to be bigger diameter (at the same material thickness) to have both the same torsional strength and critical speed (speed above which it will start oscillating and then bend and destroy itself) as steel.
Then perhaps it's not all software, maybe it's an interaction between software and hardware that is marginal on some trucks. Essentially, a form of tolerance stacking that's predisposed to cause problems because of stuff we don't know yet.
There are a lot of different explanations offered here for what that battery's function is. Could just disconnect it and see what happens (or doesn't happen).
Dealer called me just a couple minutes ago. They flashed the pcm and recalibrated the injectors, whatever that means. They said the calibration of the injectors should address the flooding I apparently had when it would not start at the gas pump last Monday. I asked if the pcm recalibration...
Just took my truck back in to the dealer, since last visit where they found/fixed improperly installed charge air hose seal, it has almost stranded me at the gas station and then Sunday it started bucking and stalling, CEL came on, 7 misfire codes stored. It has run fine since, though the CEL...
Yes, I get it. I gave them a 10 last time because it seemed they had fixed it. Even now, I'm hesitant to give them a rating that would harm them because I believe the problem I'm having is caused by Ram, not the dealer. So far, few dealers seem to have been able to fix the issue with check...
Mine did it again yesterday. The surging/bucking, stalling, and check engine light. 7 codes stored, all misfire-related. Nothing on the mass airflow sensor this time. Luckily I already have an appointment to bring it in this Wednesday because of it trying to strand me at the gas station last...
One or two people in this thread actually got theirs resolved. One was a fuel pump, and I think the other was an air filter housing lid that was apparently improperly installed from the factory.
When I said they're working to buy back as many as possible, I was being semi-sarcastic. What I really meant was with all the screwing up they're doing they're creating lots of situations ripe for a buyback.
Well, I had another problem with the truck today. Stopped to put gas in it for the first time, and when I went to leave it would not start. It would crank but not fire. I happened to have a code reader with me, and the following 3 pending codes showed up:
U0673-Some kind of network problem...
Hmm, that doesn't seem to completely directly pertain to what I thought the majority of problems on this thread were-misfire codes. It seems to address misfire codes tangentially, and not in any detail.
