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.- Atcer2018

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...- Atcer2018

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...- Atcer2018

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...- Atcer2018

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...- Atcer2018

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.- Atcer2018

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...- Atcer2018

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.- Atcer2018

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.- Atcer2018

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.- Atcer2018

2011 ram 1500 bighorn 4x4
Typically angle correcting UCAs are not needed with a two inch level/lift. I don’t see anything on the RC website that cautions about pinion angles. Both the RC spacers and N3 struts show as a fit for 2010 and 2011 4X4 trucks. As Tron stated reach out to Nick at gotexhaust for a good setup. RC... -
Transmission Flare? What is it?
Is the noise a drone or a whine that goes away after the shift is complete? That would typically be the torque converter. The 8 speed is known to flare a bit on the initial 1-2 shift when cold. I don’t know why but I’ve read it explained as the valve body is slow to pressurize until it’s warmed...- Atcer2018

Interior cab noise
Good luck finding the noise maker. Cab vents, seat belt mechanism, door seal are all good places to start. I can offer this advice. If you go through the PITA to remove the rear seats to get at the cab vents get yourself some soundproofing material for the rear cab wall. I purchased a box of...- Atcer2018

It’s for the under hood light. Like my truck, your truck did not come with one but they do sell a kit to install it for about $40-50.- Atcer2018

RAM Customer Care Nightmare
