    Need help making sure I got the right wheel size. HELP

    Is your truck all stock? I have a 2018 2500 4x4 as well, all stock, looks like the same 20” wheels only mine are black. I put on LT295/60/20 Falken AT3W tires, they don’t rub anywhere. Where were they rubbing before the level spacers?

    2018 ram 1500 Uconnect radio delamination

    Not sure I understand why RamCares could not help here. It’s a known issue. I have a 2018 2500 and the screen was delaminating. RamCares opened a case and kicked it over to Uconnect, who also opened a case and shipped a replacement unit to my dealer right away, at no cost. I have a lifetime...

    2018 ram 2500 ABS module/ Control unit

    I’d suggest sending a DM to RamCares, they may be able to expedite a solution for you. I had the HCU replaced on my 2018 2500 back in the spring. It was replaced with the newer part number ending in AB, they have been out there for a while now. I had contacted RamCares and they opened a case and...

    Code P0456

    I have p0456 on my 2018 Ram 2500 currently, for the third time. In my case, a squirrel or some other rodent keeps getting on top of the fuel tank and chewing on the plastic evap lines. We live in the country so it’s not uncommon. I just cut out the chewed section and splice in some vacuum line...

    ABS Pump #4

    This is a known issue on the 2017 and 2018 HD trucks, there’s also an NHTSA investigation into it and a recall may be coming at some point. There are several threads in the HD forum on this, take a look. My 2018 2500 ABS hydraulic control unit was replaced a few months ago with an updated part...

    2018 RAM 8.4 radio problem

    The delamination is a known issue and it causes “ghost” touches to the screen. Send a DM to RamCares here on the forum to open a case for you. Uconnect replaced the unit in my 2018 at no cost after opening a case, and subsequently a case with Uconnect.

    P0456 Code

    You might look into this further. My 2018 2500 was throwing this code. Turns out a rodent had chewed through one of these lines on top of the tank. I just replaced the bad section with some vacuum line, it’s been fine since.

    Oil Filter Thread

    Last time I checked, maybe a week ago, Rock Auto has the SRT filters in stock for $11 each. I usually use them in my 2500, although there’s an RP in there at the moment since I couldn’t get any at the last oil change.

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    Just wanted to provide an update on this. I’ve had a case open for a while, opened by RamCares last year. FCA and my dealer both called today, and they have the new HCU at the dealer ready to be installed. It’s the revised part number with the “AB” suffix. So the new part appears to be in the...

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    If you google the new HCU part number 68143491AB, it is now appearing on some of the online Mopar parts dealer websites. I’m wondering if it is now finally becoming available…

    SRT 5038041AA oil filters

    Wondering if these SRT filters ever came back into stock? Or are they still on back order?

    EBS/ABS lights coming on intermittently?

    If they are cracked, that would be a totally separate unrelated issue. I’d pull my wheels and look at them, or ask them to show you. It could just be a cash grab on their part.

    Need help with a oil change situation

    Just curious but how would you prefill a 6.4L filter when it screws on horizontally? I used to prefill them on my Cummins trucks, never tried with my 6.4L just for this reason….

    EVIC - Incorrect Engine Hours Display

    I’ve seen others post about this issue as well. My 2018 has been fine until recently, now it’s showing skewed idle hours. I think the mileage and hours are stored in both the cluster and the pcm. It must be some sort of bug.

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    That is how mine started out, almost as if something was loose. Eventually, after a couple months, the ABS and traction control lights stayed on permanently. The chiming stopped for the most part though. It’s fine to check for loose connections and such, but I’d bet your HCU is on its way out…

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    Yep that is what usually happens I believe. You'd probably just have to send in your receipt/invoice to get reimbursed.

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    It now looks like NHTSA has an information request out to FCA requesting a ton of information related to this ABS issue. You can view the PDF at the link below- https://www.nhtsa.gov/vehicle/2018/RAM/2500/PU%25252FCC/4WD#investigations I would think a recall would be coming at some point given...

    Uconnect

    There is a free trial period for new vehicles, beyond that there is a subscription charge per month, or you can pay annually. The plans are listed here, they have differing features per plan. I have the "Convenience+Security" package and the functions work pretty well for me...

    delaminating display - level with me doc how much time

    I just had mine replaced at no cost in my 2018. Send a PM to RamCares, they can put you in touch with the Uconnect folks. Uconnect called me within a couple days and had me take it to the dealer to be diagnosed, dealer confirmed it was delaminating. Uconnect opened a case and sent out a new unit...

    Uconnect screen delamination issues

    My 8.4 was delaminating and I reached out to RamCares, they contacted Uconnect who opened a case for me. Uconnect then called me within a day and worked with my dealer to have it replaced at no cost. It was done a couple of weeks ago and the new one is working great :) I am still working on...

    NHTSA finally opens ABS/HCU investigation

    Anyone know if parts are available for this yet? I have a case open and an appointment later today, however the dealer charges a $199 diagnostic fee (never mind the fact that I have a lifetime MaxCare contract). If they cannot get the parts to fix the problem, then I'm on the hook for the...

    What Toolbox do you have in your 4th Gen Ram?

    I’ve got a gloss black Weatherguard low profile box on my truck. It leaves around 9 1/2 inches under the box. It also comes in gloss black and bright aluminum. WG is a bit pricey but you get what you pay for. They do make a less costly line called Defender, but I see more complaints about those...
