So, I'm sitting here in my truck takin' a break, an' just happened to get to wonderin'... there's 2 buttons on the rear view mirror: Assist & 911. I'm not hooked up thru any connectivity programs, so, do these buttons work? I'm tempted to press 'em to find out, but...

Like many here, I am impacted by the ABS controller failue. However, I was suprised at how few have files formal NTHSA complaints on a serious issue that appears to impact thousands of trucks prior to 2019. The only way to move this ball forward and get injunctive relief is to inform NTHSA. You can report a vechile issue here: https://www.nhtsa.gov/report-a-safety-problem#/ . I below included language I used on my form, which I pasted below to make as easy as possible to others to... Read more

This morning I pulled up and stopped at a traffic light. Several seconds later I felt my truck lurch forward - like someone bumped into me from behind - but I looked up in my mirror and NO ONE was behind me! This was the exact same feeling I experienced in the past when the truck went into limp mode except this time it did NOT go into limp mode - no CEL or DTC - and ran fine afterwards. So what happened here? If the trans did a late downshift why so long after I stopped? If the engine... Read more

Permanent Code u0100 and more. Hey there, about a year ago driving down the mountain towards ingles I got the electric bolt on my dash and engine shut off. I bought an adjustable accelerator pedal instead of a non adjustable. Changed throttle body as well. Got another truck to hit the road for work, Two months ago, got the right acceleration pedal and ecm connector clips. It is still throwing the U0100 code All relays are fine, and fuses grounds are tight and a little dirty, wires... Read more

I bought this cluster for my 2019 DS 1500 I was able to change the mileage to match my truck but could not get the engine hour /idle hour to register, or get the TPMS to read. The dash works great and looks good, couple of very light scuffs on the lens. Part number A2C80931800 It's a gas engine version. $115 delivered to the 48 states. I will be away on vacation until October 28

This may not help everyone with this issue but it helped me so I figured I’d post my fix. 2023 1500 Classic I had intermittent issue with traction control light popping, service trailer brake, service electronic breaking. I always knew it would pop when my cruise control would activate but I could not set the speed. Had auto zone read code: C0042-2A brave pedal switch stuck. Initially I checked the switch, worked for a month then right back to failing every drive. Finally had... Read more

Good morning RAM Owners. I have a 2019 RAM 1500 Big Horn Quad cab with the base 6 speaker radio. It’s new to me and I’m chasing an audio issue. I have multiple blown speakers… The only 2 speakers that produce full sound are the Drivers Side front door and the dash speaker. The Passenger Dash speaker produces sound, but it’s distorted. I pulled the Passenger side front door speaker, and it’s dead. Tested with 2 different ohm meters and NOTHING. I suspect that will be the same for the... Read more

So I have this 2014 Ram 1500 5.7L. Came out one morning to the brake lights were stuck on, start the truck up has service trailer brake warning, trac light, abs light, etc.. looked like a Christmas tree. Would start but unable to shift out of park. Had a plethora of internal and comms codes for the abs module. Long story still long, upon unplugging the abs module connector I noticed a large amount of water came out of the plug (approx. 1 tbs) after some research I found that abs module... Read more

@SitKneelBend and I got curious one Saturday morning...... TESTED ON 2014 RAM WITH 2016 BCM: So since we had a bunch of screens and three different radio setups sitting around, we decided to do some experimenting (and risk some expensive hardware) so you guys don’t have to. We tested a mix of UC4 and UC5 radios, along with the UC4 12", UC5 12", and UC5 14.5" screens. We also tried both types of LVDS cables, and even went as far as swapping the board from a UC4 screen into a UC5... Read more

Hey guys, Looking to do a fluid swap in my t-case this week. I’ve read that guys are running Amsoil MVATF without issue. That fluid seems a bit tough to find where I am so I’m wondering if anyone has tried Valvoline MaxLife ATF in their 44-44. Got a few bottles of it on the shelf in my garage so would be great if that was a working fluid for these cases. Thanks

Hello everyone, I'm new here! I own a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic single cab with the 3.6L Pentastar engine. I live in Arizona, and we've been having a lot of flash floods in my area. To get home, I have to drive through a dip that accumulates quite a bit of water (though it's not officially a flood zone). I've driven through here for several years with no issues during monsoon season. However, two days after driving through it this time, the Service Power Steering light came on and the... Read more

My cat is making an awful rattling noise witch makes me think the honey comb is coming loose. It just started stumbling under load. I want to delete my cat but keep my o2 sensor. I've seen they sell o2 sensor spacers but only for downstream. The cat in my truck has both header pipes joined into the cat with my upstream o2 in the middle of those two pipes.(if that makes sense). Does anyone know how I can "delete" my cat or hollow it out and keep my o2 reading right. Or what's the best way to... Read more

On a recent trip, I used both Tow/Haul and Cruise Control at the same time. This is the first time I've towed a toy hauler with my 2013 1500 Big Horn. This video warns against this practice on grades. This information isn't in the manual. Your transmission tries to stay in lower gears and maintain torque while your cruise control tries to maintain speed. It can overheat your transmission fluid and cause premature failure of the ZF 8-speed. Using both on level ground is fine. It's... Read more

Just had my first oil change, vehicle 2025 RAM Limited night Edition. My oil level from day one always showed 3/4 full. No issue, running perfectly. I noted after oil change at dealer the oil level gauge showed at the max level. Within a week gauge now showing 3/4 again. I do not see oil leakage in my garage or driveway, see no sign of oil leakage underneath my RAM. Engine running fine, no dashboard warning lights. I mentioned this issue to salesman at my dealer and they had no... Read more

Hi, I have a 2020 Ram 1500 Big Horn (Level 1). I have the 8" touch screen and the smaller display (3.5" I believe). I purchased an OEM brake controller and installed it this afternoon. I did purchase it used off of Facebook. It did have all the proper labels on it and I know it is a factory module. I know that the brake controller sends a signal to the display on certain models. My question is this: I installed the brake controller, but i have no idea if it works. I'm assuming I need... Read more

I bought a used 2013 RAM several year ago. Uconnect was working properly. But, within a few months of owning the vehicle the radio "squawked" very loudly and was completely dead after that. The original radio was the older RA2 model where the head unit is mounted perpendicular to the screen. I replaced it with the newer compact RA2 with the head unit mounted parallel to the screen. Everything worked perfectly, except I almost always get no audio to the speakers. When the radio is in this... Read more

I am looking to see if anyone is sharing an issue I am having with a 2025 1500 Laramie. When I select adaptive cruise control and set the speed, around 90% of the time I get an automatic “Driver Override” and the cruise control will not brake and will allow the car to travel at speeds way above the set speed. This happens with my feet off the pedals and hands off the steering wheel. Oddly, it will occasionally work as it should but it is rare. The “Driver Override” will continue to flash... Read more

Greeting folks. I apologize in advance, but my search fu is weak. I've looked but can't seem to get a specific answer anywhere else so I'm trying the RamForum. I have a 1994 Ram, 5.9. I need a fuel pump and apparently I need a pigtail connector as well. Problem is, which one? I am not a mechanic and not very knowledgeable about such things but I can't for the life of me figure out which pump I need and which connector I need. Can someone tell me in plain english what I need to get in order... Read more
