    Not right - front tires worn on outside edges

    Just bought new tires for mine. The old tires had similar wear as yours not as bad. I’m watching the new tires to see how they wear, and so far I’m not seeing the same wear. 5000 miles on them and will rotate them in a day or two. I suspected alignment but not seeing the proof in this set yet.

    Vibration sound (not engine vibration)

    There is a rumble strip along side the stripe on the right side of the road. It’s meant to wake up sleepy or distracted drivers. You found it.

    temperature issues

    The thermostat maintains the coolest the truck will run. Ambient temperature, the load on the engine, and condition of the complete cooling system will dictate how hot the engine runs.

    What's that sound?

    I don’t have e-torque or air suspension so I’m going with e-brake too. Don’t really like e-brake coming on on its own because I’ve had brakes freeze in cold weather. Just rented a u-haul that seemed to do the same thing. If I didn’t set the brake it sounded like it set the brake for me?

    Battery replacement IBS registration using a Foxwell nt530

    Found this on the internet. It’s talking about a BMW, and it sounds like that tool is specifically for a BMW? But it does give a procedure to make it happen. https://www.youcanic.com/register-bmw-battery-foxwell-schwaben-scanner/

    Sudden No Start

    I had the same exact experience. Took a long breaker bar and tapped rather hard on the side of your starter. If it cranks you’ve narrowed it down the the starter solenoid. You can easily access the starter from the drivers side wheel well. HUGE WORD OF CAUTION. The battery cable is right down...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    So being just plain ole mean sometimes, had a bit of fun with a navy buddy once. He came from New York City and I guess he just never needed a car. Finally bought and got his license when he turned 23. Told him to be sure and change the air in his tires every ten thousand miles, or they would...

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Yeah. I’ve never changed brake fluid either and I’ve driven some old worn out cars. Maybe replacing brake parts have saved my butt over the years?

    Brake Fluid Change Not Required?

    Saw the neatest thing a day or so ago. Kinda takes the guesswork out of the equation. BSBMIEQM Brake Fluid Liquid Tester, Auto Brake Diagnostic Testing Tool, Hydraulic Fluid Liquid Oil Moisture Analyzer with 5 LED Indicators, Auto Brake Diagnostic Testing Tool for DOT3 DOT4 Brake Fluid...

    4 wheel drive on evic cluster

    Initial start does a self test on all the lights in the cluster just to let you know the bulbs are good. That’s why you are seeing the 4wd at start up. Your bcm doesn’t recognize the cluster. Flash time.

    0249AC springs. What is at the top?

    It won’t fix it. The lube will just quiet it down enough so you can say that is the noise. You’ll have to get it back in position.

    0249AC springs. What is at the top?

    Looks like a Teflon insulator. On my Jeep forum some folks don’t replace them when they lose one or replace springs. Probably for reducing metal to metal contact and wear. Could be your noise. Spray a liberal amount of silicon lube in there and see if your noise goes away.

    Changed battery on 2019 1500 and now no power to vehicle, bad fuse?

    Load test the battery. Maybe you got a bum one. Multimeter reading won’t give you a true story of the condition of a battery

    Replacing a broken left mirror -- do the part numbers have to be an exact match?

    If the Ram world is anything like the Jeep world… the letter at the end is just an up grade of some kind to make the part a bit better. Just guessing but I’d say it’ll work just fine.

    Slow roll vibration, anyone having this issue on 2020 ram.

    On my Jeep when there is too much air in the tires I can feel the lugs on the tires as it rolls. Sometimes I can tell if a quarter is heads up or tails up. It also varies when the hot summer weather increases the tire pressure.

    Cost to have the differential and transfer case oil changed.

    I bought the fluids from the dealership and changed my own. Can’t remember for sure but I’m thinking just the fluids were $100. Took all of an hour to drain and refill. Probably could have gotten out cheaper but the Ram was new to me and I wanted to be sure of the correct fluids. Took an hour...

    Low voltage, no start, new battery

    Ya made him mad so he isn’t gonna share. Took his toys and went home. Bet the voltage on his battery was 9vdc and he’s too embarrassed to tell.

    Headlights on even when switch is off.

    One would think that, but when I start mine the drl’s are on. All the vehicles I’ve had as you say drl’s come on when in gear and when the e-break is on they go off. Not my Ram. Engine running drl’s are on.

    Headlights on even when switch is off.

    That would be your daytime running lights. Do they shut off when you shut down the engine?

    2015 Ram 1500 suddenly stopped working

    Look in the drivers side front wheel well. Take a long heavy metal rod such as a breaker bar and rap on the starter solenoid making sure not to hit the battery cable. I just replaced my starter with the exact same symptoms. Rapping on the starter solenoid will at least get you going till you can...

    Window deflectors

    I don’t care for them but, depending on your height they help a bit if the sun is coming in and blinding you as you’re driving north or south. Between the bright sun and the broken tree lines you get a blinking sun poking you in the eyes. Of course that all depends on time of day and how tall...
