Yeah, it can sure bug you out. The single most disturbing thing I've read in this thread is the post where someone with the misfire problem said someone from their service dept went out and test drove 3 new trucks on the lot, and ALL THREE OF THEM had the misfire. THAT is alarming, because if...

Manifold pressure in this case is apparently atmospheric pressure plus boost pressure. So the engine must necessarily have both an ambient air pressure sensor and a manifold pressure sensor.

That could well be, which would correspond with what I said about 2.5 degrees retarded from target advance. By target advance, I mean what the computer will set timing to at that moment in the absence of any knock.

This thread has me paranoid enough that had I seen it before I bought my truck I likely would not have bought it. Like many of those having misfire problems, mine was built in March of this year. No sign of any trouble yet, but now I'm just waiting for the light to come on.

Interesting. I also notice that timing advance is listed as -2.5 degrees. I wonder if that's 2.5 degrees pulled out from target advance because of detected knock or if it's actually 2.5 degrees after top dead center...

All joking aside, I came VERY close to buying a new '24 rcsb xl 4wd f150 instead of the ram I got. Reason is, such a truck would have poverty star stamped steel wheels, single exhaust, black bumpers, and rubber floormat, while running 11's with the whipple blower kit I was also going to get...

I don't mean what gear ratio, I mean what axle type. It looks pretty similar to, but not identical to, the chrysler corporate 9.25" axle that's been out since the mid 70's at least and was used in practically every dodge 1500 truck in the 90's/early 2000's since at least 1994. My '09 hemi rcsb...

So, reading between the lines, the town crier above is either incompetent as a pilot or is a blowhard.

:ROFLMAO: "Patriotic eagle screech" Sorry, I'm not laughing at what happened with your truck, it's your description that's hilarious!

My laramie has a 4wd auto position or button, can't remember which, and a 4wd position. If auto lets the computer control that clutch, what does 4wd do?

What would doing this accomplish?

To me that's odd, I wouldn't think coolant lines to the throttle body would be something that would be omitted or included based on trim level, but like you said, it's not as if somebody just left hoses disconnected at the factory.

I don't KNOW that it's coolant lines, that's my guess.

Mine does have a hose connected to each of them. Based on their location, the fact you feel no vacuum, and the look of the hoses/clamps on mine, I'm guessing they're to supply/remove coolant to warm the throttle body up. Mine is a laramie and was sold new in Iowa if that matters.

Yes, probably because airplanes fall out of the sky if fuel indications are far off. There's a point you were making there comparing aviation to regular automotive things, I just haven't figured out what it might be. Nobody was singling you out, some of us had a little fun. Hard work is...

Cool deal, I'll do that.

Is your name Hugh Jass by any chance?

I ordered regular non-power running boards. A place called bam wholesale parts had them for just under $500. While I was at it I ordered mopar mud flaps front and rear.

Thanks guys, looks like it'll be OEM. Power step is back ordered and $1800 to boot. I guess I can check with my dealership and see what they want for the oem setup. Might order it elsewhere if they're high compared to others. I'd imagine this is something I could install myself, I'm decently...

Hi all, I have a '25 black laramie. My wife is short and just about needs a trampoline to enter/exit the truck. I would like to get a set of running boards that are black like the truck and will not rust. To me, this means anodized or coated aluminum. Any suggestions? I live in...
