    Engine tick/knock on cold startup

    HEMI Owners need to watch this video. There are several examples of what some refer to as the Hemi tick and not all of them require engine work or are even diagnosed with the correct problem.

    Rattling sound from Brake Pedal over bumps

    Actually it wasn’t the pedal, it was a large wiring connector that was bouncing on the plastic hvac housing up under the steering wheel

    87 Octane is OK for 6.4L Hemi?

    Just got back from a 400 mile trip from Utah to Colorado, 3 mountain passes and 90+ deg temps. two 100 lb dogs in the back seat me and the wife and a bed full of stuff, never turned the truck off , not even when we had lunch. My 6.7 2500 got .8 mpg better on this same trip in the past.

    Rattling sound from Brake Pedal over bumps

    I have been chasing a light rattling sound when going over bumps for two weeks. Checked everything I could under the dash on the drivers side, put foam tape on connectors I thought might be hitting other plastic parts etc and I have finally nailed it down to the brake pedal. You can just jiggle...

    AlfaOBD issues with my 2023

    I don’t know who gets the credit for the recommendation to use JScan but man talk about an easy to use interface program. Got the bypass cable from Jimmy here and used the cheaper VLinker BT module and $20 for the license from JScan and had my TPMS thresholds adjusted in 3 minutes. Anyone with...

    87 Octane is OK for 6.4L Hemi?

    I can believe that , I’m averaging 15-17 with my day to day running around to include a partial highway commute. I don’t live in a big city though. I’ll be taking my first road trip next week , 900 miles round trip abd am anxious to see what I get.

    87 Octane is OK for 6.4L Hemi?

    When I say no issues I’m referring to the mindset that somehow 85 octane above 5000-6000 ft is detrimental to these Hemi engines themselves or that they would ping and rattle from the lower octane. I see plenty of these trucks hauling campers and trailers full of toys up and over 10,000-11,000...

    87 Octane is OK for 6.4L Hemi?

    Yup, there are thousands of 6.4 and 5.7 Hemis running around the mountain west using Regular 85 octane gas with no issues.

    87 Octane is OK for 6.4L Hemi?

    It’s amazing how many Hemi owners I know or have met here in Colorado that have no idea they are supposed to run Colorado mid grade which is 87, and they have been running 85 since their trucks were new with zero issues. Never made sense to me that that FCA doesn’t put something on the gas cap...

    So you just used the DJ Ram 2500 2013-2021 on your 2023 and had no issues?

    AlfaOBD issues with my 2023

    On the JScan website it says it’s functional with DJ 2500 2013-2022 however on the app it says DJ Ram 2500 2013-2021 can anyone confirm that it will work on a 2022?

    5th Gen gateway cable for Apha OBD

    @Jimmy07 is getting me taken care of. when I said up high on the steering column , some of the ones I saw for sale the reviews talked about them mounting up high near the cluster so that they are hard to get to or some ****.
