    so I’ve had my 2004 dodge 3.7 260k for about a month now. When I first got it, it was having an erratic oil pressure gauge. Put a new sensor on and it was good for 250 miles then it started jumping around again when I’d come to a stop. Checked the sensor again and it had oil in it so I replaced...
  2. HD RAM - GENERAL DISCUSSION
    Hello, new to the forums. Always wanted a truck, and more specifically a Ram 2500 or 3500 gen 4. Always loved the look. So I just purchased a 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 Laramie with 200k miles, got an good deal, and it is a beautiful truck but there have been some issues pop up after I purchased it...
  3. LD RAM - General Discussion
    Good Morning: First of all this is a fact finding mission. The truck is covered under a CarMax Max Care warranty and will be going to a local PAL Service Center for repair. I am not touching anything, just wanting to gather some facts as to what caused the symptoms. Last night driving at...

    Hi, I am new to the site and wanted to say thank you for all the helpful information that I have read since finding the site. I have a 2002 Ram 1500 with a 4.7 I recently purchased the truck and have had an issue with it from the start. At first it would not idle at all. After finding a posting...
  6. LD RAM - General Discussion
    I own a 2019 ram 1500 classic with a 5.7 l hemi engine. I've been searching for the holy Grail and regards to oil and filter and I think I found the perfect combination. I have chosen to use wolf's head full synthetic oil with a wix filter. Seems like the ticking on the cold start has gone away...

    Called dealership about repairing the OPS at a cost of $250. The part from the dealer is $50 and online $18 -up. I want to replace it myself if I can. Simple to do if I can get to it. Any tips since it is part of the oil filter housing? I cannot see how to get to it.

    GASP WHAT ARE YOU DOING CEASE THAT ACTION IMMEDIATELY For the longest time the service manual had me convinced that it was imperative 5w20 be used in MDS equipped engines. As the mileage started to climb on my truck, and as it started to get worked more, I kinda stopped caring and started to...
  9. 5.7L V8 Specific Topics
    Had this Ram about half a year now... and for the most part it's been fine, but lately been having a few quirks. Posted before about an issue... auto shift on the steering, sometimes won't pop into Park without a few attempts, and a few times flipped into 2nd while driving because between D and...

    Totally forgot to change my transfer case fluid, so I figured I'd to it right around when my oil change was due. I approached this a little differently. Rather than doing a long drawn-out voice over, I simply recorded myself doing the oil and fluid change, and edited it so you can see each of...

    Just got a 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 (4x4 Laramie 5.7l Hemi automatic), and as I do with every used car I buy, first decent weekend (weather wise) I flush everything and change all fluids/filters that I can find. Found the service manual for this online, still can't find an owner's manual though...
  12. 2018 Dodge Ram Forum
    I tried searching this on the forum and online but I cannot find an answer for it. People always say that when the External Ambient temperature is high then a higher oil viscosity is recommended. For example, 5w-30 or 5w-40. Their reasoning is because oil gets "thinner". But our vehicles...
  13. LD RAM - General Discussion
    I know this is more applicable to a Durango board (already asked on one) but since those don't get nearly the traffic that Ramforumz do I figured I'd ask here since the same engine is used in both Rams and Durangos. I was reading around the internet and found that the 2012-13 Pentastars spec'd...
  14. 5.7L (345 cu in) HEMI V8 Specific Topics
    Hello, Just changed my plugs. On the drivers side, from the front to the back, the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 7th plugs had oil on the threads. Thoughts on what can cause that pattern? Truck has been running well. This is the first change and admittedly it wasn't until 64k. Thanks.
  15. 2016 Dodge Ram Forum
    Hi everyone, I'm about to take my 2016 Ram Sport (5.7 Hemi) in for the first oil change. It's got 12,000km (around 8,000 miles), and is still showing 23% oil life left, but I don't want to wait any longer. So here's 2 questions: #1 - Do I need to take this into the dealership for the oil...
  16. 5.7L (345 cu in) HEMI V8 Specific Topics
    I have a 2014 Ram 1500 Express with the 5.7 in it. Every now and then, when first started, it will rap loudly for just a second or two. It seems to happen more often when the outside air temps are hotter, which leads me to believe it's the oil in the hydraulic lifters bleeding back out of them...
  17. Oil Change
    I changed the oil in my 1500 RAM today, it was the first time for doing this and I have a question. Any suggestions for removing the filter and keeping the oil that runs out from causing such a mess. I have four wheel drive so the transfer case is right underneath the filter. So, I have to...

    My oil pressure gauge keeps dropping all the way down and the light comes on but it doesn't seem to be effecting the truck at all. I Replaced the oil pressure sending unit and there wasn't any change. This happens very randomly and doesn't seem to be linked to accelerating/decelerating/idling...
