    High idle oil pressure after oil change

    Yes they have, after about 300 miles. I don't remember this happening with previous changes but I guess i was worried for nothing.

    High idle oil pressure after oil change

    2019 2500 6.4. On my last oil, pressures were 28-30 at idle and 50-55 while driving. Then I drained the old 0W40 Pennzoil Ultra Plat, tossed the Wix 57060XP and replaced both with the same. Now my idle pressure is 50 and driving peaks at 60. I've seen those kinds of high pressures before, 2...

    Strange smell

    Check for gunk buildup in the windshield air intake cowl

    Loud clunk on startup

    I have this too. Happens every other month at most. 2019 with the 6.4 same as everyone else it seems. 25k miles and have noticed it since 15k or so. Seems to happen more when the engine and outside temps are high so I wondered if it was detonation. So far, nothing on oil reports to suggest...

    ECO Light Indicator

    I think the computer considers them separate— MDS won’t engage unless eco is lit, but eco can light without MDS , at least I’ve found

    No "off" setting?

    For what it’s worth, my Canadian 2019 has the circle.

    ECO Light Indicator

    Is there an eco mode? I figured it was just telling you when you were sufficiently off the throttle enough for “high” MPG.

    ECO Light Indicator

    Also make sure you don’t have something sitting on the passenger seat that would make the passenger seatbelt chime go off.

    2022 led headlight swap to halogen

    Woo, we’ll you’ve got a willing swap prospect right here if you want to do a trade + cash on my side. My halogen fixtures are in great shape.

    ECO Light Indicator

    The green eco light? It shouldn’t be making any sound. If you’re dinging, you’re dinging about something else. Settings is in the radio, not accessible by the steering wheel / cluster menus. It only disables the indicator light. It has no effect on fuel economy, performance, or cylinder...

    Check engine light - 4,800 miles

    I sure would… I wouldn’t lift a finger to fix a problem like that on a brand new truck.

    My 6.4's oil life gauge is bonkers

    This must be it! I feel like I would have noticed that, but clearly not, since it's the only explanation. Thanks. My local dealerships approach villainy, and it doesn't concern me enough to go that route.

    My 6.4's oil life gauge is bonkers

    What orifice does the oil life gauge pull its numbers from? It reads 85% but I have 7600 miles on the oil, what gives. If I followed it, the oil would be peanut butter by the time it's changed. Do these trucks have one of those fancy oil conductivity checkers, or is the remaining life just a WAG?

    Smoke at Startup

    I get it too, but only a small puff. It didn't concern me. The truck usually sits for 2-3 weeks before being used for long trips.

    2019 Ram 2500 6.4 squeal at start up / Chirping Noise - merged threads

    I have this too. It sounds exactly like the videos posted above. Mine is a 2019 manufactured at the end of 2018. When I first became concerned about it, I listened to my friend's 2017 2500 with the 6.4 and found it also sounds exactly the same. This is either an engineering blemish on the 6.4...
