    Lc2 power lead wire lead

    My bad, your fuse box is under the hood. Sincere apologies, old habits die hard. Check your power and grounds. Suggest finding a new power source for your LOC and good chassis grounds on amp and LOC. If you still have static check speaker and power wire proximity. After that it’s running down...

    Do people calibrate their speedometers right after getting bigger tires or have people just not calibrated right away?

    You got that right! I have a 3.6 and going from the stock 33” SRA OEM street tire to E load 34” tire WITH a Speedo recalibration it is still noticeably less zippy after first gear.

    Lc2 power lead wire lead

    Do you have an aftermarket radio? Subwoofer with an external amp? The thump, thump you are hearing at startup and shut down are the amplifier capacitors powering up or shutting down. It looks like you are using a line output converter with a trigger wire for an external amp. Your head...

    Bolt thing in windsheld does anyone know what this is???

    I’m missing something. You said your rear view mirror is mounted but the factory mounting stud isn’t being used. Are you using a aftermarket rear view mirror or have you installed a different mirror and mount? Possibly the windshield was replaced and the windshield repair company did something...

    Bolt thing in windsheld does anyone know what this is???

    Looks like the rear view mirror mounting stud. It’s glued on. Is your mirror removed.

    New convert to Ram with a stupid question

    The right side is the passenger seat, typically for the wife or girlfriend. Your coin holder sounds like it’s well trained! LOL

    Radiator

    If you have flushed the system, no leaks and sure the thermostat and radiator are working efficiently you really only have the water pump left. Exterior condition isn’t an indicator of internal condition. Some aftermarket pumps have chrome or polished aluminum housings. Heck some aftermarket...

    Turn signals double flashing and solid on dash.

    When you added the new ground wire did you cut or disconnect the existing factory ground wire? If you did, that factory ground may have supplied the ground to the other bulbs or contributed to their function. Also are you using halogen or LEDs?

    Radiator

    Run RMI25 through the cooling system. It’s a very good product and will remove contaminants and slime out to the overflow tank where you can suck it out with a pump or fluid syringe. Also is the water pump original? Sounds like your cooling system is operating as it should but the fluid isn’t...

    Anyone go down the path of hiring an attorney to deal with shady dealers and/or contacted Dodge directly.

    Daw14 has been around this forum awhile and he was probably serious about asking if you’ll ever be back to update your situation. It happens all the time and I’ve only been here about three years. The amount of people joining to vent their frustration is more than you may think. As a forum the...

    A/C Challenges

    +1 what jws123 said. If you have a working fan but only one speed it’s a blower motor resistor. The wet passenger side floorboard is most likely a clogged drain. Find the drain and blow compressed air into the drain tube or fish a length of .095 string trimmer line up into the drain tube to...

    Where do I find a new 8.4 uconnect stereo?

    Is the screen delaminating? Look at the touchscreen from the side, do you see an air pocket or what looks like bubbles at the top or sides of the screen? If the screen is delaminating it will give you “phantom touches” like the radio is possessed. A replacement screen is about $300 and an easy DIY.

    Rc 3” lift level kit

    +1 what Quick_Shifter recommends. Back in 2019 I followed Quicks and Nick at gotexhaust advice and went with Bilstein 5100’s and Mevotech UCA’s. Four years later I’m happy I did what they recommended. Not one problem with that setup. Granted I don’t do any real off roading aside from grassy...

    Got Pink Strawberry Shake for Engine Coolant?

    I’m with Hagar1 on this. It’s probably time for a good cooling system overhaul so a detergent flush would be a good route. After you flush the system run the RMI25 through the system as Burla recommends. It’s good stuff and worked well for me with coolant/oil contamination. Could be time for a...

    Engine hours

    A two year old truck with 9,200 miles is low mileage. Idle hours are roughly a quarter of drive hours which isn’t bad. As a rental it probably did a lot of short trips or in town driving. Not necessarily a bad thing with only 9,200 miles. As long as it wasn’t abused I’d take a chance on it. You...

    Headlight issues

    The cheapest and probably the easiest way is to repair the bad harness. Cut out broken, frayed or corroded wire and solider in new wire using waterproof heat shrink wrap. Even if you have to repin the connector it’s fairly easy to do.

    Keyfob replacement

    Junkboxer, you posted under a keyfob programming thread. Your question would get more/better responses if it was in a thread about rims/tires. I know there are knowledgeable people that have experience with your questions but I don’t think they are seeing your inquiry because of where it’s...

    Potholes

    Like everyone else has stated, please don’t throw parts at it. Check the wiring, fuel lines and possibly the new fuel pump. They can be defective right out of the box especially aftermarket. Doubt it’s anything jarred lose in the fuel tank as they are plastic so no rust. Verify it’s getting fuel...

    Transmission pan and fluid change questions

    I used OEM on the Ram but I’ve always had good service from Fel-pro and Mahle gaskets. When I purchased my OEM gasket it was actually cheaper than the Fel-pro equivalent.

    Radio volume control flakey; display brightness too low

    Not familiar with the audio systems on a 2007 but if the volume control is an actual knob that rotates left and right it’s most likely a simple potentiometer. An electromechanical switch sort of device. They wear out over long periods of use or become dirty inside where the mechanical contacts...

    Transmission pan and fluid change questions

    I did mine back in 2019 and they only had the one quart extra at that time. Like you I also have Bilsteins set at 2.1 and had to back up my inclined driveway, chock the front wheels and fully extend my jack stands along with leaving the jack in place. Not my brightest moment but it worked.

    Transmission pan and fluid change questions

    Did you use the factory spacers? Those were a PITA to press into the PPE pan without having a press.

    Transmission pan and fluid change questions

    I have the PPE pan with one quart extra capacity on my 845RE and it took 7 quarts. My OEM pan drain was 5 1/2 quarts so I’m with you on the factory fill being a little low. For me the extra fluid capacity made almost no difference in operating temperature.
