  2008 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi Deactivation Cylinder #7

  By KHIll14304

  Had a check engine light about 3 weeks ago and I used the BlueDriver ODB2 to diagnose it. Turned out deactivation solonoid #6 had failed so I replaced it and that problem has not returned. Then a few days later, deactivation solonoid #7 showed failure, so I replaced it and the last 2 solonoids along with a new mds harness because I did not want to dig into the manifold again. Cleared the check engine light. Drove it for about 2 days and once again #7 is showing an issue. BlueDrover does not... Read more

  Misfire in cylinder 1, 4, 7 and random

  By burn1326

  I'm going to try and be direct here, but this has stumped so many. I have a 2011 1500 V8 5.7L Outdoorsman. The truck had about 135k when a misfire in cylinder 1 was detected. I replaced all plugs with iridium autolites. Misfire continued, and I diagnosed a lifter failure in cylinder 1 causing damage to the cam shaft. I replaced the Cam, all lifters, all MDS solenoids, vvt solenoid, phaser, one coil pack on cylinder 1, cam position sensor, the throttle body for the position sensor, and the... Read more

  Please help me troubleshoot the engine problem with my RAM 2500 6.4

  By MyRamIsGarbage

  I have a 2021 Ram 2500 that has a 6.4 hemi. It has about 120,000 miles. This is my second Ram, and in my opinion this one has been a total piece of garbage compared to my 2006 Ram which was an awesome truck for 15+ years. I will never buy another Ram because of this truck. I would have gotten rid of it along time ago, but no one wants to give you jack on trade in's on these, probably because they know they are garbage. I know this might offend some of you, but its the sad truth... Read more

  Engine hours

  By bejano25

  Just wondering if anyone would be able to help me or point me in the right direction. I have noticed a lot of things online about obtaining lifetime engine hours through alphaobd. I had to get my tach changed out and the dealer never uploaded the correct hours in. It says my 17 1500 has 600 hours on it total. Wondering if I could pull the actual numbers or not from alphapbd couldn't really find anything

  2016 Ram bighorn 4x4 on 35s and re-gearing ?

  By ish5

  Hi im new ! I have a 2016 Ram bighorn on a carli 2.5 suspension leveling kit . And running 35s on method wheels. I was wondering if anyone has ever changed the gearing on their trucks. I have the stick 3.21 from factory and unfortunately feels very sluggish and always looking for gears on the highway. Was thinking 3.92s or would 4.10s be better ?

  Looking for wiring gurus

  By rocko

  I have 2021 1500 3.6 etorque with some wiring issues related to my right rear park brake actuator. I replaced the actuator itself without testing and it turns out that wasn't the issue so that was money wasted because I couldn't return it but oh well!! It looks like a fault to ground somewhere and I'm not sure where to start. I'm basically looking for directions as to where the wiring for that particular park brake is routed under the truck? Is it one long continuous wire from the actuator... Read more

  Rough idle/stalling

  By hemismith

  I have a 2025 Hurricane SO with 22k miles. For the past month or so it's been having an occasional rough idle, where it will drop a couple hundred rpm for a second. Occasionally it will drop several hundred, and a few times it's even stalled. I've read on other sources that it's likely due to a non-stock air filter -- when I had my 20k service, there were no Mopar air filters in stock so they used a Napa. But that was months ago and I just started having this issue when they did a PCM... Read more

  2016 RAM 2500 5.7 Transmission Problem

  By ECantu

  Hi! I just got a transmission problem in my 2016 Ram 2500 5.7. I was driving on the freeway and after a curve suddenly lost all power, it was like if the transmission was in neutral, no sounds, no leaks, no burning smell or anything, it just went dead. I pulled over and it didn't let me put it in park, screen showed a message "speed too high to move to parking" or something like that. After a few minutes the shifter let me put it in parking and I was able to shut down the engine, even when... Read more

  mystery fitting/connector on 3.6L

  By Cedar Plank

  2021 Classic Express with 3.6L. Newer vehicle to me and just recently removed the air intake cowling. Discovered a hosed fitting that is not connected to anything. See it in the center of the attached photo. Any ideas what it is and if it should be connected anywhere? Is that a plug on the end of the hose? Couldn't see anywhere that it should be connected to.

  Dashboard Delamination

  By boardFrustration

  I am new to the Ram Forum. I purchased a new 2020 Ram Limited and was very happy with my purchase. As most of you know, these trucks drive great, are very comfortable, and have fantastic technology. All of these reason had me really enjoying my Ram. Unfortunately, I began noticing bubbling on the leather sections of the dashboard. It didn’t look great but the leather dashboard was still connected at the edges. Recently, it has begun to come apart and looks terrible (Pics attached). I got... Read more

  What DON'T you like about your RAM?

  By tones2SS

  4th Gen. "dislikes"? What are some of the least things you like about your 4th generation Ram? (This isn't a knock on the truck at all. I LOVE my Ram and this is my second brand new Ram in 10 years.) I guess I'll go first. I don't really like the windshield washer nozzles on the hood. I like the way they were on my 3rd gen Daytona. The other thing I'm not too crazy about is the way the MDS comes on/engages. Don't like the "drone" I guess you call it. These aren't real issues for me... Read more

  Hello and my 2021 1500 Classic Warlock

  By jason1

  I've posted a couple times so I guess I'll say hello and a bit about my truck and what I've done with it. My previous and first truck besides my families farm trucks was a 2003 Ram 1500 I bought in 2005. It did me well over the years. Replaced lots of parts over that time period too but never the engine or tranny amazingly. I did all the maintenance. It finally got to the point though I was about to have a Flintstones truck with my feet through the floorboards and the wife told me it... Read more

  2004 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi – Vibration only in 5th gear at 50-60 mph

  By Max90S

  Hi everyone, I have a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi, automatic transmission and RWD. I'm having a strange vibration issue that I'm hoping someone here has experienced before. The truck shakes pretty badly when I'm cruising between 50 and 60 mph, but only when the transmission is in 5th gear. If I go faster than 60 mph, the vibration gradually gets less and less noticeable. What's really strange is that if I turn on Tow/Haul mode, the vibration completely disappears at the same...

  1988 Factory Paint Color ID?

  By GregL

  Hi Guys, I came across a truck I'm interested in. Appears to have factory lime green paint underhood and interior but I cannot seem to find this color listed for 1988. Exterior is in primer, needs paint and I kind of like this original color, but I'm not able to find another '88 like it or any info on this color. I do not currently have access to the trim tag. What am I missing? Best, Greg

  Towing issue

  By GVanDyke

  I currently have a 2019 Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi Cre Cab. I had a 2012 Ram 1500 5.7l Hemi, Crew Cab. I am towing the same trailer and hitch system. Towed great with my 2012 but now same setup, tows like crap. Lots of sway. What is the difference for towing between these 2 trucks? Update: I made thought the there was no diference between a 2012 or 2019 Ram 1500. A bad assumtion on my part. Found the reciver on my 2019 Ram 1500 is 1 inch higher than my past 2012. Had to lower the ball. That worked!

  Battery replacement for a 2020 Ram 2500 question

  By Papa Red

  I've searched the forum and didn't come up with much info. I have a 2020 Ram 2500 with the 6.4l gas engine. My battery is the original factory battery from February of 2020. No issues but it's time to find a replacement before I do have issues. I've had good luck over the years with the EverStart brand (Walmart). I've been looking at the EverStart AGM H7 battery. It's an almost exact replacement with slightly more CCA 850 VS 730 on the original. Simple remove/replace and I should be good... Read more

  Shell Rotella T6 shortage, is schaeffer oil an acceptable alternative?

  By saboken

  I've been diehard against using anything except Shell Rotella T6 in My Ram 2500 Cummins, I didn't have a issue finding T6 in Texas now I'm just outside Sturgis and can't find it anywhere!

I found a oil I haven't seen before Schaeffers CK4 700 SynShield® Durability Advantage Engine Oil 15W-40. Anyone use this in there Cummins? I purchased 3 gallons today, all the reviews I can find...

  WANTED: Split Tailgate (Multi Function Tailgate)

  By dakota18

  IF THIS ISN'T THE RIGHT SECTION TO POST SOMETHING LIKE THIS ADMINS PLEASE JUST LET ME KNOW. I have a 2026 RAM 1500 limited with the power lift tailgate... standard unit, not multifunction. I'm wondering/hoping someone with a split tailgate may want to swap for standard unit as I know some people don't like the Multifunction gate. I'm located in Massachusetts but can easily travel anywhere in New England and possibly further.

  Water in fuel light

  By Dan7070

  For several days, I have been getting a water and fuel indicator on the dash of my 2020 eco-diesel. It just flashes on for 124 seconds when I first start the truck. I had put a new fuel filter in about a week ago, so I got underneath the truck and turned the water spigot on the fuel filter and something came out that smelled like Diesel. Now I am running it, and I went to the local parts store and bought hot shot diesel additive to hopefully take whatever Water is there, out of the Diesel... Read more
