It really was as simple as that. Took me quite a while to figure it out

My truck is not under warranty so I’ve never been worried about that. I’m sure you read the previous comments on this thread of My concerns doing it myself. I did in fact do it myself and it was very straightforward. I contacted the transmission manufacturer and if I remember correctly they...

Hmm. I’ll have to research this again because I googled it and thought I saw it was supposed to be done every 60k miles. I found a place online who sells the pan (with filter built in it obviously) and 5 quarts. They have a side note that mentions 3 quarts (or liters?) remain in the...

122k. I don’t know if it was done at the 60k interval it probably not. I bought it with 80k miles. I tow 10k lbs often

Hi everyone. I’m looking to do a transmission fluid change on my 2019 bighorn 6.4liter 8 speed transmission. I need to replace the pan on this style. Does anyone have a good recommendation as to what fluid to use, where to get it from? Same with the pan. Also, am I just going to let the...

How hard was replacing it? Any crazy extensions / swivel knuckles needed? I can’t find any videos on a 2019 2500 starter swap. I’m not sure what years it’s comparable to. I think they changed a lot from 2009-2018 styles?

That’s still a thing? Thanks

Hi everyone, seeing if someone can educate me here. I have a 2019 2500 6.4 bighorn. Now, I also have a new battery. Long story short, I very randomly get a no crank no start, sometimes 2,3, and even 4 times in a row before the truck finally turns over and starts. There’s about a 10 second pause...

That’s a god thought. It’s going to be pretty tough for me to do by myself, I’m pretty sure the negative cable slides down pretty far on the post. So long as I can get a meter lead on the very bottom of the negative post to be able to slip the cable off, this would be a good check to accomplish...

I’ll check the fuses tomorrow just to be able to say I did. What ground connections would I be checking? The connections on the main lug? And the main lug connection itself? No, I can’t say I checked they were tight, but didn’t appear to be loose. I have not inspected wiring for signals of...

Slow moving process here everyone. Still can’t find an issue causing the battery to die. It wouldn’t start for me today, took 4 try’s for it to even decide to turn the engine over, to which it started. I verified a 3 amp draw that dies down to about 300 milliamps within a minute. I found a...

Thanks for the input. I’ve noticed the lack of quality with anything Ram. I don’t think that even a better quality battery would hold you long term with this intermittent draw, at least not in my off season when I only drive the truck a few times a week, which wouldn’t let the battery get...

I’ll try that tomorrow. FYI, the other day, with the fob on me, the truck woke up three times in a row about 2-5 minutes apart. Tonight, it only woke up once… same procedure. I’ll give some feedback with what it does tomorrow with the fob in the house.

You are correct, I can do that to find the parasitic draw. I got hung up trying to see what the milliamp draw overall was before doing that though. I thought I had the problem with the bottom glove box light, but now I’m realizing the light would shut off once the truck goes to sleep, so that...

I’m ready to find a nice cliff to roll this thing off of
