    Traction control light comes on intermittently.

    Possibly. Stop at an auto parts store and let them scan it.

    4th Gen Official Timeslip/Discussion Thread

    Street tires at 28psi. Traction control off, tow mode on. I really need to work on the launch, but I'm too concerned about toasting that trans. That's why I'm considering building a dedicated drag car.

    4th Gen Official Timeslip/Discussion Thread

    Got a chance to run the local 1/8th mile. Best speed 74.15mph. Best time 9.37. Speed gained 2-3mph from last fall, with just headers/exhaust, times didn't really gain anything. First couple runs just spun and had to back off to hook up. Everybody was having traction issues, it got better later...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Painted my hood vents and engine cover. I didn't think the engine cover would fit under the Vararam but I used the oem PVC tube and extended the breather over to the other side, then made a bracket to hold it up. I think I need to paint the Vararam cover.

    Pacbrake Oil Filter relocation kit /Oil pressure drop

    Flow of any fluid or gas wants to go straight. Anytime you change direction you restrict its flow properties. It's like kinking a garden hose. 90's are terrible for flow. The bore is usually much smaller than the hose size, which acts as a restriction, so the flow must be increased, usually via...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I did a little pinstriping.

    I lost the 2 coarse thread bolts that holds the grill on.

    I accidentally broke one off, (I had the impact driver switched the wrong way:banghead:) I couldn't drill the piece out, try drilling a metal screw in plastic! I drilled all around it, got the broken piece out, filled it with JB Weld, then drilled it out and went with a wood screw. The flap that...

    Engine replacement 2010

    You have other options. You could short block it, that's new lower portion of the motor, block, and internals, and just transfer your heads, intake, and other externals. Might save you some money. Consider a valve job while the heads are off.

    Anyone with a 4th gen manual/hemi? I need a part number from your computer.

    Hmmm, maybe I do want the Challenger tune!:driver::cool: Yes, it's all in my other thread https://www.ramforum.com/threads/5-45-rfe-swap-to-manual-computer-issues.208197/

    Anyone with a 4th gen manual/hemi? I need a part number from your computer.

    I guess it really doesn't matter, the motor/trans don't know what they're in, right! I was concerned that other systems would be affected, but I don't think other systems are controlled by the same computer. Heck, I just saw a Chrysler 300 computer that looks identical to my truck computer.

    Anyone with a 4th gen manual/hemi? I need a part number from your computer.

    Thank you, I will try to contact him. Thank you. I was planning a trip to my local salvage yard and I know they have connections to a network of other yards. A good friend is a parts department manager and has worked at a couple dealerships. I was planning to go see him and see what I can find...

    Anyone with a 4th gen manual/hemi? I need a part number from your computer.

    I am trying to open up all my options. Re-flash is $600 from B&G Performance, does anybody know another shop? I'm a little concerned about what other issues will appear, but I guess either way could cause other issues. Hopefully AlfaObd would fix them. Luckily the truck is off the road all...

    Anyone with a 4th gen manual/hemi? I need a part number from your computer.

    As stated. 4th gen manual with gas engines are pretty rare. The simplest way to do a manual trans swap is to get a manual trans truck computer. Every search I do comes up with a Cummins computer which won't work. The search will be much easier if I have a good part number. Thanks in advance.

    Rear Pinion Seal

    The pinion seal won't cause howling. Worn gears do. Get the weight off the rear wheels and see if you can move the flange in any direction. If you can plan a rear diff rebuild or replacement. At the very least pull the cover and look things over, or have someone who knows what it should look...

    2018 ecodiesel 1500 particulant filter full, see dealer

    I'm coming from the semi-truck side. Many dealers and aftermarket jobbers have cleaning services for the DPF using compressed air, as long as it was not plugged up too badly and destroyed. They can collapse internally and then need replaced. There are utube vids of people cleaning them with...

    My pretty bad 2018 RAM 1500 Hemi experience, help/advice needed on what to do next

    You could ask them to install a reman engine from an outside source, maybe Jaspar. The rest of the truck warranty would still be good and Jaspar warranties the motor.

    5-45 RFE swap to manual, computer issues?

    Thank you for that. I just talked to the local auto electronics "experts", and they said I would need a computer from a truck with a manual trans (used are over $500) and they would need to reset the vin to mine for about $200. They said they can reflash but only to Dodge oem specs for my vin...

    This would be good, since it is a Viper trans.

    5-45 RFE swap to manual, computer issues?

    There are 2 shifter mounting points on the Viper trans. I'm fairly sure the rear OEM one is where I want it to be. Hard to make exact measurements but now that I have the trans, I can get pretty close. It needs to be about 28" from the block, the Viper one is 26", I can work with that. I can...
