    Soft Brakes - weak brakes - sponge brakes 2021 3500 - merged threads

    2021 Ram 3500 SRW 6.4 gas 10,000 miles. Worst brake pedal feel of any vehicle I've driven in 5 decades! I actually had to move my seat forward several clicks just to make sure I can press the pedal down far enough to stop! Most of the time very soft and have to press down farther then I would...

    My 6.4's oil life gauge is bonkers

    I just change mine every 5,000 miles regardless of how I've driven it. Seems like cheap insurance to put off rebuilding the engine as long as possible. That's got to be a huge cost! Plus I have trust issues with computers telling me when go to things! lol

    4.10 Gearing Daily mpg not towing?

    35 inch tires, Tradesman 2 door cab. Too old to hot rod around anymore. 9 around town and best highway is about 14.5, that's on cruise control flat highway at 60 mph. I'm pretty disappointed, I could do this well in my 2001 2500 regular cab with a fully loaded service body, 4.56 gears and on...

    Mileage before first oil change

    Changed my oil at 1800 after I drove it home from the midwest, I live on the west coast. Just had another oil change done at 5000 miles and will do so every 5000 from now. My manual just says there's an oil change warning that comes on the instrument cluster but does not list any thing in the...

    What's this?

    So I was checking out my new truck and found this wire bundle under the hood. It's on the firewall near the Aux control box around the area of the brake booster. Does anyone know what these wires are for? I'm hoping perhaps like my old ford they had wires for things like speeding up the...

    Help with the 8.4 with Nav please anyone (solved)

    Well darn, just been over on Ebay and none of the units for sale are for my 2021 truck. Grrrr.... I don't know why I just can't buy the parts from the dealer or a parts yard. Thanks for the advice, maybe in time they will become available for my truck.

    Help with the 8.4 with Nav please anyone (solved)

    I'm curious about how you did your upgrade. Did you get a new screen and nav unit and if so from where? I have the 8.4 but does not have nav and I would like to add it. Any help would be great as I'm not finding much out about this upgrade, everyone seems to want the 12 inch screen which I...

    2019 6.4 Transmission Issue

    Same issues on my 2021 Ram 3500 4x4 with the 6.4 gas engine. It isn't bad but it's very odd to try to drive it at low speeds and I"ve also come close to hitting a few cars in parking lots. That along with a throttle that you barely have to touch to launch the truck it's hard to drive at times...

    ANR Location?

    Thanks for the picture!! Big help, I'll try to get to it tomorrow. I finally heard back from the company that made the part and they were of no help at all. Just a vague answer about being by the steering wheel. That picture is what I needed! Now to try and figure how to get my big fat...

    Titan Fuel Tank.... For a HEMI!

    I've only found that to be for a diesel truck, so far not for the gas engine. No matter how many times I worked the build your ram site I soon as I click on the larger tank it switches me to the diesel engine. Grrrrrr

    Titan Fuel Tank.... For a HEMI!

    The 50 gallon tank is only on the 3500 cab chassis which has a 9 foot (it's really slightly longer) bed. That tank is mounted behind the rear axle, there isn't enough room on a regular 3500 for the tank to fit. I wish it would but that's what I've found out so far.
