    Alfa OBD problems.

    By Carl0218

    OK guys I have a 2014 Dodge ram 2500 diesel and I hooked up the Alpha OBDMX plus to the truck. I changed the tire circumference size and that’s where all my stuff went haywire upon doing that I did not know that you had to run a ABS initializer test, but when I went to do that, the box was grayed out. I then tried to do the static ECU test And that failed.I tried to turn it back to the original size without doing that test. I’m at a loss right now my truck will not start. as of now it won’t...

    Any L5P owners here with long-term CCV experience?

    By forearningpurpose

    Hi everyone I help a diesel parts business with online content. Most of my work covers GM trucks so I’m posting this in the other vehicle section. Has anyone here owned a 2017–2024 Silverado or Sierra HD with the L5P and had trouble with the crankcase ventilation system? I’d like to hear what the first symptoms were and what the diagnosis showed. If you kept the factory setup or changed it after a confirmed problem, how did it hold up over time? Please include your truck year and... Read more

    Static ECU initialization fail

    By RKHF

    Ram brothers and sisters…I’m at a loss tonight. I finally got the Alfa OBD for my 2014 3500. I did the usual, watched a YouTube video, and successfully programmed a new key fob and I was ecstatic. Figured I’d go ahead and adjust my tire size (37’s) so I’d actually know my speed. I must’ve been the sucker that watched the wrong video or read the wrong thread but I got all sorts of issues. I programmed my tire size and thought that was it. A little later I got in the truck to drive the trash... Read more

    ARE cap from F150 on Ram 1500

    By geardhead55

    Here is a 2013 F150 ARE truck topper on my 2020 Ram 1500. F-150 was a 6.5ft bed and my Ram is a 6.4ft. The camper shell covers the entire bed space. I had to trim the tailgate area on the cap. If I trim the cab side ears of shell, I could slide it forward a touch. I am not sure if I will leave this as is and resell the cap after my trip. Or mod the ears and keep the cap. This topper was free. Needs only clamps and new t-handle lock. Just have a hunting trip with 4 guys and 4 dogs. My Bak... Read more

    3rd gen Cap on 4th gen

    By hunterdan

    I'm going to look at and possibly pick up a 3rd gen Cap for my 4th Gen Friday morning. The color is very similar, and the bed length is the same. Came off an 07 2500 and is going on a 19 classic with the 6'4" bed. I know the tailgate might be a bit of an issue, but I might be able to space the cap up with 1x4s or even just replace the tailgate trim with a smooth top one. I've seen some pictures and it looks like they fit really close.

    How to Fluid Film your truck

    By Hemi395

    Thought I'd start a thread about how to spray Fluid Film or equivalent on the undercarriage of a Ram for those of us who live in the northern states that see a lot of road salt. Living in New England, we get the salt air year round and road salt in the winter and I have seen several older 4th gens with rotted out cab corners, rocker panels, door bottoms, tailgate bottom, and rear wheel wells. To do this you will need the following: -Fluid Film, 1 Gallon and 1 spray can or 6-8 spray cans... Read more

    New Phone New Navigation Isssue

    By BillAK

    I upgraded my android phone and now I cannot get satellite view on the Uconnect screen. Already being punished for having an android which means the navigation screen is about the size of my cell phone due to some deal RAM must have made with Iphone, but I digress. I've always had to use my phone connected to Uconnect to have more than a grey screen highway line. My old phone was a Galaxy S10, new phone is Galaxy S25FE. The phone is AT&T, set on satellite view using Google Maps, just as... Read more

    Turning radius for 2024

    By Wyncotejoan

    Got my 2024 Ram 6.4L,V8 heavy duty in March. NOT my first truck. History: 15 passenger club wagon, Excursion gas, Excursion diesel, Dodge Ram 2500 diesel, Nissan Pathfinder and now this Ram. I could parallel park all of those vehicles with one sweep, I could back into the smallest space with one sweep and I could pull into our driveway with inches to spare on each side with one sweep. THIS vehicle has a turning radius like it’s set on permanent 4x4. Turning corners, trying to pull into a... Read more

    1984 Dodge D150 Pickup Truck Rear Differential Problems

    By MelCharles

    Heyyyy! So, I need some help. I've got an old 1984 Dodge D150 pickup truck that I use for my daily commute vehicle (cuz I absolutely LOVE it and, well, why not use it for that ) My dream is to get it totally restored. I've already done a lot to it...the whole front end has almost had everything replaced besides the engine (which I do need to replace or rebuild soon). But anyway, it was making a lot of noise when shifting from park to drive or reverse. Then the speedometer stopped working... Read more

    One of the best explanations for adding a catch can as i've seen

    By Wild one

    Why we use catch cans - and some education for the people that repeat what they read without understanding the subject. From an engineer that also doesnt just build, but also designs endurance and sprint car engines. Ok so in an engine, you have blowby. Even in a brand new NA engine (higher in FE engines because cylinder pressure is higher). That exhaust goes past the rings and into your crankcase a bit before it gets to the exhaust stroke. The more wear is on an engine, especially the... Read more

    Radio changing frequency and tracks at random

    By FLFBSManiac

    4th gen (2015) 8.4 radio changes station frequencies at random - if using pandora or Apple Music via BT it changes songs at random or restarts tracks. I have no idea where to start - steering wheel controls or ?? I didn’t see any references to similar issues on the forum but I’m not exactly proficient on the ‘puters. Thanks in advance for any responses. Big Horn 3.6 130K - new oil filter housing at 120K

    Any 4th Gen rust yet?

    By Hemi395

    With winter fast approaching, I searched for a bit and found a couple mentions of rust on 4th gens but nothing major. I know the 3rd gens have a bunch of rust issues and I see rotted 3rd gens in my area all the time but no 4th gens yet. I'm curious if anyone out there has any real rust starting on the older 4th gens. The only thread I saw was this thread http://www.ramforum.com/f41/cab_corners_rusting_away-72429/ awhile back but thats the only serious rust I've seen anyone talk about... Read more
