    4WD overheating message

    There was a good amount of snow fall today and I decided it would be fun to go do some “burnouts” as the snow will just protect the tires and it will be a good time. What I did weren’t even burnouts I just turned off traction control, put it on 2wd and hit the gas didn’t even hit brakes . The...

    4wd shifter issue

    Hi All, For the past year, I've been having on and off problems shifting into 4wd. When I first had this issue, I was still under powertrain warranty sitting at about 55k miles. I would try to shift into 4WD and got an error code. My dealer said that the front differential actuator was faulty...

    4wd lights off and no remote start

    Good morning I recently put a full limited interior in my truck and was using alpha OBD to get the 12 inch screen working and other features. During this process using alpha OBD, I no longer have the lights on for four-wheel-drive or any of the options for four-wheel-drive. My remote start also...

    4x2 to 4x4 Conversion

    2021 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x2. I paid it off and plan to keep it until it croaks. If I can source the parts for 4x4 (after I figure out what they are), is it possible to turn the feature on using AlfaOBD? Feels like it might be a waste of time and money, but I like challenges.

    4WD Not Working Properly

    For the last few weeks my 4WD has been acting weird. When I push 4 Auto, 4 High and 4 Low I hear it engage, but the buttons just blink. I drive around a little and can definitely tell I'm in 4 high even though the 2wd light is solid and 4 high is blinking. Every now and then the "Service 4WD"...

    4WD Light Blinking

    Well I finally had my first issue with my 5th gen. Roads got horrible out of nowhere and I pressed 4WD Auto after starting my truck, but the 2WD light stays on while the 4WD auto light just blinks. Tried shutting it off for 10 mins and still did the same thing. Any ideas what it could be...

    Well, it’s broken:(

    Story time everyone, So I’m in New England, just south of Boston. Yesterday about midday, I decided that I’m going to the gym before the snow gets to bad and I actually have to shovel my truck out. (There’s about a foot in front of my driveway from the plows). So I start the ol’Rebel up for...

    2020 Rebel - Question on 4WD Hi vs Low

    Just looking to understand the difference between them. A few specific questions: 1. When in 4WD Hi, is the split always 50/50 front to rear? 2. Is there any difference of power distribution between 4WD Hi and Low, or is the only difference between them the gearing? Tried to find some real...

    4wd Transmission binding

    Starting a new thread on this because I am not sure what is going on with my 2019 Rebel. It has severe binding if you turn in 4wd. I took it to the dealer and the service manager took it for a ride, then he drove another rebel on the lot. he then said "Since they both do it, it must be how it is...

    First Sand Drive with the 2019 Off-Road Package

    So I finally got my 2019 Ram Laramie with the Off Road Package out in the deep sand and here is my laundry list of questions and some impressions. 1) The general rule for sand driving is to turn off traction control. I like to use the 4WD Auto setting for the portion between the thick sand...

    0-60 Time with the 5.7L and 3.92 axle

    Hey all, figured I've posted on enough threads now to comfortably make my own. Since I am at 1100+ miles now, beyond the recommended break-in, I felt it was safe to do a proper wide open throttle acceleration run. I couldn't find any 0-60 videos that were for-certain running a 3.92 axle ratio...

    4 Wheel Drive (4WD) Not Working

    Anyone have issues switching into 4wd? Today is the first day since buying the truck the opportunity presented itself with snow coming down here in the northeast. However, 4wd would not engage for me. While driving I tried switching into Auto 4WD. After blinking for a few seconds it would fail...
