    Orange ignition spark.

    When I looked up that part on Autozone's website, it says that it has a limited lifetime warranty. Maybe they'd let you get a new one? That would at least tell you if the coil is the issue or not.

    Orange ignition spark.

    Same with the coil? Was it OEM or aftermarket? What brand?

    P0456 code question

    I had it a few years ago. It ended up being some deep scratches around the metal filler neck opening.

    EPS Issues

    Dude!! Pics? I knew the internal combustion engine wasn't going away. But, its awesome to see that the Hemi will still be around. I've been hearing rumors it's going away in 2025. I knew they wouldn't do away with such an awesome engine! Glad to see that they'll come to their senses...

    Can I remove transmission fluid with my fluid pump?

    Yes, but for me it didn't work. Well, It kinda did work, but didn't help. I pumped out the fluid from the dipstick tube until it was slurping air. I confidently crawled under, removed the bolts and dropped a pan FULL of fluid onto my face. Not sure how it's possible, since I pumped out...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    Also, Since they had the belt off for the water pump work, I would look over the pulleys, tensioner and belt routing for anything obvious. The tapping that changes back to clunks, taps, etc, intermittently kinda sounds like a wire, clamp, connector, bolt head or some other random part getting...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    My first suspicion would be something in the timing cover/water pump. Maybe they accidentally dropped a tool or bolt in. If you can find a short section of garden hose or similar, use it like a stethoscope. Stick one end to your ear, and the other to various parts of the lower engine area...

    Clanking noise around transmission

    Obvious question, but have you crawled under it to look/listen. Last time mine sounded like that, I crawled under and found one of my exhaust pipes laying on the drive shaft. It was easy to diagnose, and easy to fix. Just had to replace a U bolt

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 - Sale Price Advice

    Even if it's the cam/lifters, it would be a lot cheaper to fix than to replace. 2k for a cam/lifter job, and she might go for another 100k miles.

    Hemi Tick getting Louder

    Definitely sounds like manifold bolts. It's a common thing. I've replaced them 4 times, in 3 vehicles. My previous 2010 Ram twice, my wife's Durango once, and in my current 2013 Ram once. Next time, i'll be following the advice here and sanding them flat...

    2013 Ram 1500 5.7 - Sale Price Advice

    I did a quick KBB used truck value, using "Fair", as the condition I selected. Considering that anyone who looks at buying it is going to assume the engine is bad, needing at least a cam/lifter replacement, it's age and mileage, you'll probably be looking @ or below the lower end of this range.

    Right intermediate shaft difference between 3.21 and 3.55 gears?

    It's the same. None of the usual parts stores list a different part depending on axle ratio. They show the same part, regardless of ratio. This Canadian outfit makes units that have a pretty decent reputation. The right side shaft only...

    Cluster back light diming

    This is a common issue. It happened to me as well. There is no fix that I know of, other than replacing it. If you do a search for "instrument cluster flickering", or similar, you'll find tons of threads on the issue. I replaced mine with a used one from Ebay, and used AlphaOBD to...

    All shifter lights on with no shifting out of gear

    So, did you ever get it fixed?

    2013 ram 2500 5.7 whats best repair option

    Do it yourself for about 1/3 of option 1. And while your at it, add a new high volume oil pump. Watch a few YouTube videos on the procedure to decide if it's something you want to tackle yourself.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Yea, that definitely points towards something other than the RF hub. Check the big BCM connector above left of the brake pedal. I accidentally pulled the cam lever loose once with my foot, and it caused all kinds of weird errors and codes.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Can't AlphaOBD write the VIN to the hub. I'm pretty sure I just saw a post recently from someone who did it. Maybe I'm remembering wrong though.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Yea, you'd think. But, when the RF hub is a computer, communicating with another computer, wth all of the various functions that these parts control, it's unlikely that ALL of the RF hubs functions failed at the same time. If, the RF hub is the problem, more likely that just one of its...

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    It might be worth pulling the rear bulkhead and physically checking the RF hub and it's antennas/connectors. I just recently saw a post somewhere about a rear window leak resulting in a fried RF hub.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    That sounds a lot like your RF hub had died.

    FOB PROGRAM HELP

    Does your fob work to lock/unlock doors? If so, here is another option. I've been using one of these for 5 years. Use AlphaOBD to program one of these to work for your ignition. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KTIVLHO?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share&tag=ramforum-20 Just cut the metal part off and...

    AlfaOBD Help--> 2013 RAM BCM

    Thanks for updating this post with the results. These BCM's have pretty much been discontinued by Mopar, so used may be the only option for some. If so, it's good to know that a used BCM can be flashed with the correct configuration using AlphaOBD.

    Horn Honks 3 times after lock need help

    I read through to make sure this hasn't already been asked and answered, but do you have any aftermarket parts installed, that are spliced into or otherwise connected to the factory wiring? Things like aftermarket car alarms, remote starts, reverse cams, trailer brake controllers, etc? I few...

    2017 Ram Uconnect 3 - 5" issues

    I think I was mistaken about the hard reset method above. A couple forum searches indicate that this may be the proper procedure: With the radio powered on press the volume button and the tuner button until the screen shuts off and let off the buttons immediately, than take the key out of...
