Not a CEL post but a PS announcement. If you change your own oil, a certain criteria must be met before the oil sensor will read correctly. I’ve done 3 changes now and have just recently discovered that I wasn’t checking the oil level properly. Here ya go. Unless you already knew. P.S. truck is...
Exactly, no matter what the temperature is, an automatic transmission should warm up for at least 2 minutes before driving.

I’m was getting a much longer warm up yesterday also, it’s the first time I started the truck in the cold (19*f) here. I just tapped the throttle and it came down shortly after that, I think it has something to do with warming the oil for the turbos. It’ll be ok if you drive it nicely for the...
I’m really sorry that answering a question took so much time, I’ve been following this thread from the beginning and several part numbers have been thrown around, I neglected to reread all the pages. I’ll just delete this thread and be on my way, have a wonderful life.

How do I find out if I have the correct cable or not? These dealers don’t seem to know anything and I have to get this figured out and help is greatly appreciated.

I do agree that people should have had a choice, but even with the problems I’ve had there’s no way in hell that I would go back to a Hemi, as a matter of fact if they did away with the SST I wouldn’t buy another RAM. The bugs will get worked out and this engine is far superior to the HEMI. I...
My is 7’x19’ with a 5’ v-nose, 92” high outside, it weighs approximately 4500#’s with the bikes or sleds. This summer on a 1,400 mile round trip with the bikes I got 13.2 MPG running 67-72 MPH. Last weekend pulling the sleds I got 9.5 MPG running approximately the same speed, the difference in...
I was told by a parts guy that not all of the trucks can get the new brake control module, apparently there are wires necessary that should be under the steering wheel? Can anyone confirm this or is he full of BS? I’ve been waiting since June for the dealer I bought my truck from to get the...
I feel extremely lucky, I put another 600 miles on the truck this weekend towing the sleds up north, the only problem I’m still having is the truck declaring that the trailer connections have come undone, but they haven’t, I can look in the mirror at that moment and see that the lights are still...
I would definitely say that you have something bad in the charging system, that could be the cause for all your problems. Should be 14+ while the truck is running regardless of rpm.

Do a google search for details. Simple explanation: During a “cold start”, the engine is not using the O2 sensors to adjust the fuel trims (the amount the injectors are outputting), this is based on a pre determined amount (Open loop). After certain parameters are met (I.e. time/temperature) the...
I know this doesn’t pertain to all of your trucks, but I’ve believed all along that this problem (for me especially) was software related. Yesterday I took a 400+ mile roadtrip and the truck acted exactly like I believe it should, I was particularly interested in the fuel economy I would get...
Most of the time an attorney (depending on your state) is not necessary, I lemoned a ford in 2001 and all I had to do was get a “packet” from the BBB, I filled it out but before I turned it in I called the dealer and informed them what I was about to do, they told me to hold off. The next day I...
I have started the truck 5 times so far and have not had a CEL, I have noticed that the truck doesn’t stutter at high rpm during the cold starts like it did before, I can’t find my paperwork, so I can’t tell you what flash they did. I will be taking it on a road trip this weekend so I’ll report...
Yesterday my truck went in for the tsb, I didn’t ask specifics because I was in a hurry when I picked it up. I will report back if it works for me. I do know that it was a PCM flash. The transmission did seem to shift smoother on my ride home, but that could be because they disconnected the...
I have noticed that this engine/transmission likes to be higher up in rev range for shifts, if I drive like a granny I think I feel what you guys are describing, seems to me that when the trans short shifts you feel it, I think they did that for mileage. It’s like riding a sport bike, below...
Absolutely not, this engine is awesome. The problems we are having SUCK!!!! but if I had it to do all over again I’d still by the truck. Read through ANY forum and you’ll find people pissed at the manufacturer of that product, we are a small percentage, my buddy hasn’t had a single issue with...
