Folks, I just realized my nagging dissatisfaction with my audio (Laramie, 2021) is due to the front left speakers not working. Using the fader and balance controls, all the other corners are fine. I've tried it with 2 streaming services and also the radio...so, it's not the source. I'm hoping...

I drained my coolant. :) Thread, here: Draining the radiator

I'm a big believer in early fluid changes. Yeah...100,000 mile/10 year coolant interval is what Mopar says. Other than cooling (and preventing freezing and boil over), coolant has sacrificial anode dissolved in it. Like the zinc block on a boat, it prevents the other metal from rotting and...

Folks, Here's my experience installing an aftermarket transmission pan for my truck's ZF8HP75 transmission. I'll run you through what I did, as I did it, so you can make your own decision. It'll be a bit long, but I want to be thorough. The ZF8 transmission has a pan with a built-in filter. If...

Several months ago I took the plunge. I ordered a tune from Green Diesel Engineering, Diesel Tuning for Performance and Fuel economy (See my sig: driving a 2021 Ram EcoDiesel.) I checked all the boxes. In just two days (North Carolina), it all arrived: a new ECU, my original ECU (that I had...

Folks, I bought a zf 8hp pan for a different vehicle. I thought it'd be the same as the one in the truck. I was wrong. LOL...yes, I measured before I did anything. The Ram ecodiesel has a deeper pan (by ~1/2") than the one I bought. Soo... I found PPE has aluminum pans for our trucks with...

Folks, My son's 2022 Big Horn EcoDiesel has been using coolant. Slowly...but more than my 2021 Laramie. He's got ~41k miles on his truck. If we had not topped off the reservoir tank every few months, he'd be 2-3 inches below mininum. (He's owned it since new, with 12 miles on the odometer. No...

Folks, Anyone know of any aftermarket switches that match the RAM interior style? I'm thinking about the air conditioning in my truck. I have a black interior and I think that using the "air conditioning hack" could help cool the interior. (It's not horrible, but I think it could be better...

First, I love my BedRug. (I bought because of how good my neighbor's BedRug is.) So, when I helped my son get a truck, I bought him a BedRug as well. I removed his BedRug today (a year after install). His truck is a work truck. When I pulled up the BedRug, the velcro strips that hold it to the...

Folks, I want a sturdy piece of metal to raise and lower my spare, not the three (four?) piece Rube Goldberg contraption sitting under the front passenger seat. What works? What do people use? (I'll store it either in the bed or under the rear seat, next to my breaker bar.) Thanks!

Folks, it's time. ;) What brand and what size wiper blade have you used (that works!) on our trucks? Thanks.

Folks, I'm using F33 and F66 for my hardwired dashcam. I'm going to add a hardwired radar detector. I want to find another switched fuse location on the interior fuse panel. Any suggestions as to which fuse I should use for my fuse tap? Thanks!

I just came back from a tile store, about 45 minutes away. (My wife has advised me that we need to "refresh" our house. I blame HGTV.) I loaded 980 pounds of tile into the bed. I could barely even tell that the truck had a heavy load in it. There was just a hair of a delay coming off red lights...

I did something dumb. ;) The result? I'd like to get a new crankcase pressure sensor, 68490043AA, for my 2021 ecoDiesel. I'm told they're on national backorder. Anyone know if there's a substitute pressure sensor from a different vehicle that uses the same trigger values and voltages? Yes...

I've got two fobs. I want to get a third. Has anyone done this? Can you get a key cut (for the keyed part that is in the fob) by a locksmith? Can I program a fob myself (I have AlfaOBD)? Or, do I have to go to a dealership and leave the truck for a day or two after they get a fob in that...

Folks, I bought a new 2021 Laramie ecoDiesel. Absolutely love it. I helped my son buy a new 2022 Big Horn ecoDiesel. He absolutely loves it. (He'd had a 2007 Hemi, bought used and then totaled.) Now, my brother-in-law wants to buy one. He's coming from several different Hemi's. He's in the...

I left my truck parked for 4 days, started up (normally), and a few minutes later noticed this: I drove an hour, got home, shut down. I did a quick restart and the error wasn't there. So, it's either a one-off, a weak battery that is just rearing it's head (1 year and 5 days since I got the...

I've searched... I've not found any reports of reliable oil catch cans for the ecoDiesel. The ones that I have seen all say they throw MIL/Check Engine codes. Is anyone using one? And, which one is it??? Thanks.

Folks, I bought a GREAT phone holder. It mounts in the center dashboard tray, under the rubber mat. Here's a pic: My son wants one for his truck. I know that I went to Course Motorsports, but I don't see this on their website. Anyone know what mount this is??? (Hey, I only found it...

Folks, I've got some Black Rhino Duggers I put on my 2021 Laramie. I only saw pix before I bought them. Yeah, they look great AND their stats are what I wanted (offset, weight, etc.) However...there's an issue. The profile of the rim is such that it COLLECTS dirt, mud, snow, ice, and water...
