    Ram 2500 brakes

    Brother, I understand it’s a “big truck”, I drive semis for a living and those brakes (albeit, air brakes) engage and are firm at the top. If these are “designed” to be soft and gradual, then what you’re saying is Ram don’t want the drivers of their trucks to have confidence in the braking...

    Ram 2500 brakes

    I hope it does go to a lawsuit. And I hope they finally listen and realize we aren’t taking their **** anymore. These trucks aren’t getting cheaper and buyers are going to start demanding they get what they pay for. Because though I may have bought mine used, those who bought new 2025s at...

    Ram 2500 brakes

    Yeah it’s sad that they’ve forgotten to listen to the folks who buy their products. Hopefully Tim can fix that.

    Ram 2500 brakes

    That’s good to hear. It’s sad that since I’ve bought this truck I’ve had to replace the heater core and thermostat. Also, the parts availability of these trucks are extremely sparse which makes them EXTREMELY expensive. My 96 Ram that I’ve owned since 2014 needs less work and obviously parts are...

    Ram 2500 brakes

    So what do the rest of us do if we don’t have ACC equipped but still have a soft pedal? This document from FCA means nothing to us without ACC. I agree with the guy who said that the brakes need to be firm at the top regardless. I know of a TSB I read on AllData about the ABS module needing to...

    Same truck and the pedal travels almost to the floor before it slows truck.

    Radio Fuse Location on 22 2500?

    I just got off the phone with SiriusXM and if you have a problem with SiriusXM icon not showing up on your screen, you can reset the radio by holding down the volume button and the tuner button for 20 seconds and then at 20 seconds let go and it should refresh the whole system

    Camera System Unavailable

    I just replaced my heater core and accidentally pulled the end off the cable. I was able to put it back on, but it might be ruined. Anyone have to p/n for these cables? I may have to replace both. It’s the cables that run by the passenger side kick panel. Found this one 68498808AA, but I can’t...

    Coolant leak, I’m stumped

    2021 Power Wagon, Has coolant leaking behind engine block and onto transmission. Oil not milky. Reservoir drains under engine load greater than 2,000 rpm. No visible leaks on or around water pump and thermostat housing. Would a failed intake manifold gasket cause this? Also, heater in cab does...

    Might check your cabin temperature sensor. Apparently it’s important for everything HVAC to function correctly. As I said before, the dealership found mine unplugged and once they plugged it back in, my heat worked fine afterwards. I did try to back flush my heater core 3 times, each time using...

    Need HVAC help.

    The only options I see you having are either take it to a dealership and have them do their magic with their witech scan tools, or get alfaOBD and do it yourself (I’ve heard you can do quite a lot with it), or you might get lucky with just unplugging the battery for like a hour and see if the...

    Need HVAC help.

    So I took it to a dealership and come to find out, my cabin temperature sensor was unplugged. I have heat now. Fully functioning. I looked it up, it’s under the knee bolster. Not sure how mine got unplugged, but I don’t care, I’m not freezing anymore! Thanks for the replies folks!!

    Need HVAC help.

    Yeah, I’ve done all of that and no change. Driver side vents, still blowing cool air. Regardless of temperature settings, or vent settings. If I remember correctly, even defrost is still cold on the driver side. I just subscribed to an alldata account to look more into it. Trying to see if there...

    Need HVAC help.

    It’s a Power Wagon with the 6.4 HEMI. It has about 162k miles. I’ve combed the internet for a solution and thought possibly someone else would have came across this issue and said something about how they resolved it. All I get is clogged heater core, also I agree a 4 year old vehicle shouldn’t...

    Need HVAC help.

    I’m curious if anyone on this for him has a simpler way to change the heater core rather than removing the entire heater box assembly. Like, tilt the dash back and loosen the heater box from the firewall, and then swap out the heater core? I’m curious to know if that will be a viable option? Or...
