Actually now that I’m thinking I did get a “service throttle body” message after a few long cranking periods killed my battery up in the frozen north. Had my fuel freeze up earlier this year on a ski trip. I do not recall the P00AF code being in there though.
If it sounds kind of like crickets chirping then it will most likely be your front brake pad clips. My truck had the same issue and after replacing the pad hardware only (for $8.00 and an hour of my time) the noise went away. You could also try lightly greasing the surface of the clips where...
Agreed in relation to the block heater, as the block heater primarily heats the coolant passage above the oil pan so the oil doesn’t absorb much of the heat until the engine is running and the cooler/heat exchanger in the radiator does its thing. Gotta love a thermally efficient engine!
Seems pretty normal to me. The oil in these trucks warms a bit quicker than its naturally aspirated counterparts. The turbo’s exposure to high temperature exhaust is the main reason for that in my experience.
That being said my trucks oil and coolant are almost always within 5-10°f of each...
Hey all I know this a bit of an older thread but my pinion bearing in the rear diff is starting to make noise and I’m looking to buy an overhaul kit. According to a local Motive Gear distributor they don’t have availability on the kit. However rock auto shows they have it for my truck, Motive...
Check the easiest things first, the battery and its connections. Get the battery load tested, and pull both connections (positive and negative) and clean them/make sure they’re tight. To me this sounds like a bad battery, as these trucks do whacky stuff when the battery gets low. However it...
Common sense says that should be covered under consequential damages, because the HPFP failing is what took out the rest of the fuel system. That pump should have a warranty. I think Rams warranty on that was 2 years. Unless of course the pump failed due to ingesting water or something.
I replaced mine last year. Big horn, left (drivers side) standard size (non towing) mirror, defrosting, NO blind spot, auto dimming. 68402093AA Is the Mopar part number I used.
I’m sure you’ve done this already, but have you disconnected the battery and let the truck sit for a half hour, and/or perform an intelligent battery sensor reset? After that I would start by checking all the grounds you can see, engine, frame, and cab. Especially since the cab has been off the...
Modern diesels do like to run hard but they are also able to run normal drive cycles too. They just aren’t the best for constant quick trips where the engine and emissions systems can’t get up to temperature.
I feel there’s no wrong answer for how much DEF to have in there. I top mine off...
Could also be the sender in the tank going bad, Just like in your diesel fuel tank. Could potentially be the injector nozzle for the DEF getting plugged up with grime/crystalized DEF. I've had to clean those injector nozzles on heavy equipment engines, but not on my Ram yet. When the "Engine...
This all happened in New Jersey, but in 2021 (11 days after I bought my truck) I was sideswiped by another driver who was texting while driving and aggressively speeding. ~90mph in a 65. They caused approximately $9,000 in damages to the drivers side. Insurers original estimate based on photos...
The gauge may not be broken, if the tank is filled to the brim in my truck it sometimes takes 1000 or so miles for the gauge to move off the Full peg. I'd give it a little more time and see. especially if you're running a lot of highway miles and not towing my truck doesn't drink much DEF.
If...
To the best of my knowledge, the PCMs are written to a specific VIN and would have to be re programmed to the individual truck when purchased. I imagine there is a used market for PCMs so you could probably still get a couple bucks for it though.
