    Battery Replacement

    Update after 2 weeks. Installed the X2 AGM. Voltage was all over the place the first week or so; 12.6 - 14.0. Lately, it's been holding around 14.2 area. Hard to believe it took that long to reprogram itself but if it stays like this, I'm good with it. Note...I used the recommended replacement...

    Vibration in steering wheel when in 4Auto or 4Hi

    I notice a slight difference when going to 4A or 4H. I attribute this to the additional gears and shafts being used when in 4WD. When I got rid of those horrible Bridgestone OEM tires and went to Michelin Defender LTX (same size), I also noticed a small increase in noise.

    Battery Replacement

    HI Gang, I've got a 2021 Lonestar 5.7 ETorque with 49k miles on it; purchased 3/21. The battery voltage has always ran between 13.3-13.8 until a month ago. Now it's between 14.0-14.6. It now takes a bit more time to start when cold in the morning. Could the increase in battery voltage from the...

    Best retractable tones for 1500 w/Rambox

    I've had a Bakflip on my last 2 trucks, a 16 GMC Canyon and now a 21 1500 Longhorn CC/SB. The only time they ever leaked was when I went thru a car wash.

    New info on Gas tank fueling issue

    I've been using that stuff for over 55 years. It's the only additive I've ever added to gas and oil. I've got the 33 gallon tank in a 21 5.7 E torque Lonestar. About 45k miles now. I've never had an issue with filling the tank at any station. Also, I've not had any issues with injectors or carbs...

    Pulsal Installation Problem

    Nope, but some strange things happened afterwards. It started hogging fuel for about 15 minutes and the HVAC wouldn't cooperate until this morning. Now everything is fine as far as I can tell. Perhaps the ECU needed some time to re calibrate itself?

    Pulsal Installation Problem

    The ECU connector towards the radiator came off without any problems. The one towards the firewall seems stuck on something. I was able to remove the black plastic shell but cannot see what is hung up on. I tried prying the perimeter with a flat bladed screwdriver. It doesn't seem to want to...

    Upgrade brakes

    I used to use Powerstop until I realized they were made in China. It may not be a big deal to some but to me it is. I switched over to EBC. Their stuff is made here, England and Italy. I suspect the rotors are actually made by Brembo.

    Brake Fluid Change

    Are there any issues changing to DOT 5.0 (silicone) brake fluid? This is probably going to be my last vehicle and as I go along, I want to "upgrade" as I am able.

    Mid-cycle refresh

    After 9 years, they are likely to have most , if not all the bugs worked out. I was interested in the 5th gen RAM when if first came out but I know better than to buy a first year vehicle, even if most of the running gear is a carryover. Those who did were referred to by RAM as 'beta testers"...

    Navigation sucks

    Would there be any difference between the "factory" navigation and the one provided by Sirius/XM?

    Throttle body spacer

    It's approved for use in California. That means it will offer limited, or no improvement at all.

    Powertrain Malfunction Indicator Light

    I'm the suspicious kind (that's what you get when you are an accountant for 45+years). I'm wondering if there is a way for your dealership to start broadcasting CEL codes to various vehicles when business is slow. My CEL reader stays in the truck ever since I had a dealership in Ca. insist my...

    Got Lucky For Once !!!

    So I noticed my windshield washers quit working the other day. The pump was working but fluid was leaking from the bottom of the plastic liner under the hood. I remembered we had a hard freeze a couple of weeks ago. I had visions of ruptured lines under the hood due to the cold. Pulled the...

    Has Anyone fit a Queen size mattress in the Bed?

    Check on an RV supply site such as Camping World. My first Motorhome had an "RC Queen" bed. It was substantially smaller in both length and width.

    Updates on 12" UConnect 4?

    I just received an email to do a map update on my 2021 with 12" screen. I've had the truck since 3/31/21 and I haven't updated it (unless it received something over the air). All I know is that it doesn't correctly give me the correct route sometimes. Has anyone done this update? Results...

    e-Torque Battery Pack replacement

    I was planning on going with the 7yr Unlimited Mileage. Mopar is quoting $4,035.00 with a $200 deductible. I've had issues with 3rd party warranties in the past but open to a good deal from a reputable company.
