Post by: M4wdFab on September 29, 2014, 11:54:15 AM
needs LED white back up / plate lights
forward trailer pigtail is zipscrewed mounted and looks a little hack
pin wood between bed and frame should be swapped for PT
going to add some tool boxes, probably just buy two new matching ones
first and for most needs seat covers. the truck is high and i really have to roll out of it. They wont last long with my filth.
a 50" bar will end up on the top of the headake rack, maybe a 10" or 24" facing back also
havent decided yet if it has as much ass as my 24valve. its hard to tell with the 4.44 gears

Dodge is revising a lot of it's manual tranny recommendations. First time I called for the jeep(years ago) it was some silly expensive stuff only they carried. Called again last week and they said atf4 now.
Power mirrors are a lifesaver at ATM's!
I wouldn't run atf4 in the trans. It's a g56, right?
I would (and have, myself) swap that out to Gorilla Juice. Seems to help keep em alive, looks like atf with Lucas in it. Could probably throw a quart of Lucas in there and I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Not sure what sort of trans warranty you're looking at, probably best to run through that with factory suggested fill just in case something happens. Seems a shame to give it the extra wear in the mean time but I guess it is what it is.

2014 Ram 4500 with manual 320 hp, 650 ft-tq
2014 Ram 4500 with AISIN 325 hp, 750 ft-tq
If the dealer will do that for you, that'll pretty much means a 65 hp, 200 ft-tq increase for you!
Just an idea if it'll work to have the dealer to reprogram your truck and not void the warranty and possibly cheaper, or free if you can talk haha.

Do a search on "torque management", the new 12 cummins I had with the G56 had the same feeling that your going through.
Ram basically has some software that de-tunes the engine (boost and whatever else) to keep the trans and clutch alive since they are only rated for 650 ft/lbs.
Most programmers are able to deactivate it, but I just wanted to make you aware of it before your tuner purchase.
The silver 12 Cummins truck I had was a 800 ft/lbs truck and it ran and pulled pretty decent.
I still like the 01 cummins I sold you, and if I bought another it would be a 01-07 with a manual.
On a side note I've been towing the JK with a A class motorhome I bought earlier this summer.

I think $600 is well spent because I can see it a very messy job and not only that, they reapply for free annually for lifetime.This is a good point.
I paid $700 for rust proofing, undercoating, diamond gloss, and alarm w/remote start 7 yrs ago when they had a 2 bay garage on Lyell. (I also paid $100 bucks for reapplication every year until I went to the Henrietta location that informed me this was a free service ::))
I would expect $6-700 for rust proofing and undercoating. Last I knew they had "new car" packages where you could get the whole 9 yards; interior protection, rain X, diamond gloss, undercoat, rust protections, piant chip protection, and probably some other non-sense stuff for like $1000.
Looking back I would of got the paint chip protection on the hood. They put some kind of clear protective film on it. Mine is quite dinged up now.

Changed oil and filter, Chassis fuel filter/water separater, under hood cartridge filter (67$ from Dealer with delphi discount), and greased everything.
holding off on rear diff fluid service. just beat after fluids and trying to tighten up my goose ball nut. apparently its been loose and beating it self. cant loose or tighten it, so i just welded it to the mount. \
now own next group of big boy sockets past the 3/4 HF set.
oil and fuel monitors reset, 2 DEF engine codes cleared 14940 miles

Not that there's any motivation to change at this point, but I was thinking about this a bit and I would definitely put some angle to them, and set them up with tail lights. I'd probably also make them drop into your rear stake pockets instead of bolting to the bed.

650 ft lb truck, and running tuner on tow mode within 30 min it shuts the truck down in hard regen and sometimes even limits the power to 70% if you dont immediately turn the tuner off.
Post by: mr.mindless on September 21, 2015, 11:34:33 AM
I guess if it's annoying in stock mode in the PA hills you must be a lot heavier now than we were to CA. I didn't think it was too annying to pull those grades at 55 doing what we were doing.

I was informed i could do what i want, but needed a weight slip to change registration class with the added "Camping equipment"
Ran to Cat scales with the truck that decided to be 9680 (less than whats on the title now)
went back. took 3 girls behind the counter to casually decided what class to register me. One one said, we are going to call you a suburban, is that ok? i said sure as long as i get passenger plates! said yes. Girl says looks at weight and sees its lighter now. i tell her, i dont know how or where that number on the title came from, but id be happy to take a refund if i was over paying. she mumbled something and said eh were not going to go there, filled out the new weight on the form and ran it in the computer.
189$ for new reg, title. 10.50$ for scale
handed me plates and left.
reg (and new title on the way) says 2014 RAM SUBN nothing about RV or camper or anything. should be good for passing scales
also confused why my bank didn't hold the title, wasn't even sure i had one till i found it locked up.
i suppose i should check with Gieco to make sure insurance is happy still

Published 03/31/2003 09:33 AM | Updated 12/12/2014 11:21 AM
My vehicle is listed on my registration as "SUBN" for "suburban." What do the word "suburban" and the vehicle body type code "SUBN" describe?
The term "suburban" is the term used in the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law to describe the body type of a vehicle that:
has windows on the side in the rear, and
has seats in the rear that can be folded or removed so the vehicle can carry cargo.
check!

finished 30K service and lube. no grease fittings present on 4x4 front shaft.
both front unit bearings and wheel u joints have non zero play which i thought pretty odd for a 29K truck. nothing grease able of course ujoint or ball joint wise.

Mine seems to be running cooler after rebuild - but warmer than historical norms... 220-240 instead of 190-210. Was hitting 270 before I went through it. Seems fine.

I just used up my filter stock, time to re-up. I've been doing 7500 on oil and planned to do 15000 on fuel - but my fuel filters looked PERFECT. Not a drop of water and barely any sediment in the water bowl. I think I will significantly up that, and maybe change based on filter canister rust if not milage. They were a little crusty.
I'm running FS1242 water filter and FF5320 2 micron.
Engine mounted Mopar combo filter (FS43258) is still present and I plan to completely ignore it.
EDIT: mixed up numbers

Single source, same or better prices.
I checked your fuel filter though, and same deal. $70-$90 for the two stange on frame filter.
No way I'd keep that around if I were going to keep the truck long term. Same or better filtration costs me $28 after a one-time cost around $150 to get the dual spin-on mount.

Here’s what we have on the Peak DEF…
(80) 2.5 gallon jugs/skid
$11.29/jug
$903.20/skid
Smike this is what I have bought for my yard trucks.
How is this pricing?
Post by: M4wdFab on May 09, 2017, 09:13:55 AM
usually at walmart or Regional International i pay 7-9$ for a 2.5gallon jug out the door.
Peak i think is one of the higher end fluids and
if your buying skids at 4.50/gallon i think you could do better with drums if your usage is enough to over come shelf life and operator pumping issues.
I drum wouldnt help me as my usage is low and half my usage is on the road...

inspection woes. i guess ill try to see where it is after a buffalo drive. if it doesn't set them by then ill give up caring about it.
looks like i need to put the tuner back in so i can watch it when its reg'ing and make sure it finishes. looks like it takes 3 re gen cycles to make most of them set.

For 5 years or 100,000 miles, whichever
first occurs:
1. If any emission-related part on your truck is defective,
the part will be repaired or replaced by FCA US. This is
your SHORT-TERM EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM
DEFECTS WARRANTY.
NOTE: Where applicable with covered parts, associated
plumbing, mounting hardware, gaskets, O-rings, and wiring
harnesses are covered.
SHORT-TERM EMISSION-RELATED PARTS:
4500/5500 Ram Diesel
• Diesel Oxidation
Catalyst
• Exhaust Valve
• Diesel Particulate Filter • EGR Cooler
• SCR Catalyst • EGR Valve
• DEF Tank & Lines • Engine Control Module
• Exhaust Manifold • Fuel Pressure Sensor
• Charge Air Cooler • Fuel Pump
• Turbocharger • Injector
looks like exhaust manifold and gasket should be covered under short term emmissions warranty. The Long term components or terms is not clearly defined for 4500 / 5500 only 3500.

Post by: mr.mindless on October 26, 2017, 11:56:06 AM
the vanes on any variable geometry turbo can get sticky with age, usually on vehicles that are babied or sit for long periods.
you know you don't have sticky vanes - the exhaust brake does things. if the vanes were stuck it couldn't do anything.
I don't know if it's possible for vanes to partially stick? Seems to me it should be all or nothing. Could you have a sensor problem? Do you see high boost? My truck maxes at 29, I rarely see more than 27. I thought I remembered yours being lower than that.
Post by: TrailTamer on October 26, 2017, 12:04:34 PM
I think there's a "cleaning port" on the turbo to decarbon it.

I'm still running the stock, original tired HX35. Yes, ~30 psi of boost is about max. Anything more than that it get toasty. Waste gate not working (stuck closed).
Post by: M4wdFab on November 16, 2017, 08:58:59 AM
taking bets on the bS they feed back to me!
my clear customer complaints:
1) NYS inspection: will not set more than 8/10 emission monitors in 2500miles with no CEL, currently only has historic pending Regen freq code, no CEL.
2) exhaust manifold/gasket leak causing squealing/hissing and lack of boost, lack of exhaust brake function
i bet i get back:
will not pass inspection, monitors not set- need to drive more
truck fine no boost codes, that noise is normal
sadly i forgot i cleared the 7 codes it had in Denver and drove home with no tuner and no brake. couldnt get any codes to set
it had in Denver:
P203F
P0234
P20E8
P20EE
bah
Post by: M4wdFab on November 16, 2017, 11:03:31 AM
asked if i want regular or HD inspection, says it will pass. (no sticker from new glass, valid question- but i bet they didn't plug in yet to find out it wont pass- morons)
expressed concern about exhaust leak noises again.
no parts avail for water pump recall that apparently can cause under hood fire lol

Post by: mr.mindless on November 16, 2017, 04:21:23 PM
my truck won't pass a plug in because it doesn't run monitors. I can only get a sticker because I'm emissions exempt. That requires a manual override of the inspection computer because my VIN doesn't show the correct weight class. Cab & Chassis problems. Bet your inspection shop was making the same mistake.
Post by: M4wdFab on November 16, 2017, 04:48:04 PM
what does your title say for GVW? thats what the DMV inspection system should reference?
but cant you get an inspection without a plate or registration so how could it not just be by whats on the door? hmmm

On the nys computer one of the first questions is, if the vehicle is registered. If not, you can get it inspected off of the VIN alone.
It works the same way if they can't scan the registration on your window.
In your case Mike, that would be probably the best, since it would just come up diesel truck and not have to get plugged in regardless of what it's registered as.
Post by: KingtheZJ on November 17, 2017, 08:10:25 AM
In my experiences all my 3/4 ton trucks never had to be plugged in. Including the 2 gas trucks that had passenger plates (no GVW on reg) that "weighed" 6000.

A 4.44 axle is standard on 4500 models and not available with the Max Tow package. A class-exclusive six-speed manual transmission is standard on Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cab models.

it's in the cushion of the torque convertor and the tight integration between modern automatics and the engine ECU as far as torque management.
Valid point on the ecu on auto trans via reduce power output and release the TCC for split of a second when shifting. It’s actually mostly to avoid harshness
I kinda disagree on ‘cushion’, torque converter locks and no fluid-coupling in 2-6th gears.

Until about 6mo ago unpaid time off was NBD, now it has to go through HR and only gets approved for special occasions. Outsourcing company makes money on billable time and apparently we didn’t have a good year.
I can pretty much take off whenever I want if I have the time accrued... I just don’t right now.

changed upper balljoints in about 10 minutes a side. i think i spent more time looking for something to use as a 60mm socket and a 33m wrench than actually doing it. had to cut down a 1 3/16 socket to fit but was easy after that. steers pulled and loaded in ZJ to drop at Lewis tomorrow morning to mount new rubber.

reading that i guess im lucky it lasted 65k
Mike what one do you have? should i go ceramic or organic? these prices dont seem bad with everything included , clutch, flywheel, hydralics upgrade
Post by: mr.mindless on October 15, 2018, 10:09:35 AM
That makes it way more annoying.
Also things I just remembered: there's a club member with a lift that can lift this unit.
- lift & remove both driveshafts, break all fasteners free, pull most/all trans to block bolts, remove clutch hydraulics
- lower, remove crossmember, support trans and tcase on my bigass trans jack
- lift truck away from trans, then swap clutch bits
- installation is reverse of removal.
I've done this 2x on the ground and it didn't killed me. it's really not bad at all.
call South Bend, talk with them about your use and future power plans, and they'll probably suggest the same hybrid ceramic/organic I have with upgraded hydraulics.
My invoice from the replacement shows SDD3250-g 2005.5-2009 G56 550-650hp 1200tq
Not sure what changed in 2010, hopefully not a big deal.

confirmed with MikeyG today that its a 60hp tow tune over the standard pickup tune, not the derated cab chassis tune. that makes way more sense the way the truck feels to have picked up 300 ftlbs.
apparently my Edge tuner has an expandable input for gages and for 100$ you can get an EGT probe thats plug and play. ( i lost OBD for post turbo egt with the changes.

My edge CTS is my pyrometer, trans temp, and turbo timer. Doubt you could sell a used edge juice for more than you could buy a CTS so you could do the expansion modules. Super easy and work well. No trouble in 4+ years.
i have the CTS , whatever the 800$ version in 2014 was. it was just pulling EGT from the OBD with no aftermarket sensor installed. I have to check the box there were more wires and other bs that came with it when i got it from Nick salvatores.

this time- says my lug nuts may have been over tightened during service and the wheel studs may fail causing loss of wheel. No fix available yet.
glad i don't let morons work on my vehicles and im the only one thats ever pulled the front tires off the truck, rear have never been removed ha.
83K and still original rear tires and brakes.

expeced fronts, but rears were Fucked! both lower slider bolts seized.
took 6+ hours to remove rear duals as they have never been off the truck since assembly. got a 20ton hockey puck for my porto power after breaking 3/8 chain and 3/8 bolts with my 20ton bottle jack on hub and chain through wheel spokes.
iddle'd the truck in 4wd on the lift and went at all 4 rotors aggressive with air chisel and then flap wheel :o
pad slapped rear, fixed sliders and should be good for another 50K

new rear pads feel good.
Post by: M4wdFab on November 06, 2021, 02:20:01 PM
I pulled the front diff cover and all looks ok, oil was brand new looking
i dont see any front drive shaft or front axle ujoint play
Transfer case fluid was about 1/2" below fill plug, and was brown / smelled burnt ATF
changed that with the only thing documented, 70$ for 2 quarts mopar Tcase fluid for 44-47 case.
im thinking the chain is worn and stretched and slips under load? does it in 4 low and 4 high idling with some ebrake applied at random times.
Post by: mr.mindless on November 06, 2021, 04:16:07 PM
Seems awfully early for chain stretch without being nearly empty of fluid but that’s about the only thing left. Sucks!
Post by: M4wdFab on November 06, 2021, 04:20:35 PM
i didnt ebrake it and idle while it was on the lift.
nothing wrong with rear though in 2wd no noise.
has to be tcase related, front driveshaft, or wheel joints.
front diff appears to be some kind of sealed limited slip also, which i wasnt expecting.

more research shows pretty common for 100k ish. the NP cases seem to clunk and wear through the housing / gernade. the BW cases seem to do the "chain slip" noise so pretty sure thats where im at.
also in a few places searching found stated the rear case half cant be removed while in truck, case needs to be completely removed, joy.
not paying 611$ for a chain that GVD can have tomorrow. bah. amazon 148 for no name?! looks like torqeking has USA chain for 200$

I scraped at some of the rust bubbles and peeling powder coat on mine when I was designing my crane, found the lower panel on the headache rack is gone through where it was tight to the uprights. They sandwiched it instead of butt welding to the inside dimension and that explains all the scale there. No structural issues noted yet though but I’m sure the front face of those uprights are half what they used to be.

dip stick about 1/2" high wich is about 1/4" higher than i set it when changing the oil....

had to make a 3.5" socket for the goofy spindle nut these trucks have. you tighten to 70ft lb, then back off 90 degree, then tighten to 30ft lb for final. nut has like locking surface they are weird.
if it wasn't slushy id test drive, but filters for rest of maintenance should be here this week and i have floor work to do on other projects, so it gets to sit inside.

pulled rear yoke to change a weeping seal, lucky i checked PN before pulling seal. sourced wrong part.
looks like only NAPA has it for 3x cost as usual tomorrow, or amazon / RA has it for normal sane pinion seal price.
level was full so ill probably just reasemble and do the seal next time its on the lift.

345$ for a mopar MAF sensor, alot of the forums are saying you must get a mopar sensor only.
30$ amazon and ebay sensors that say are compatable i guess have a bad wrap.
this is annoying.

ended up switching lower seat foam side to side, so my driver seat is fresh like new, and the passenger seat that had some wear that edge is now on the inside so its also good.
next time ill have a pair of hog ring pliers on hand, i didnt realize there were ringed in pleats that i had to disconnect and connect the new fabric too in a few places.
overall, super happy for 100$. took about an hour to do all 4 after learning on the first one a bit.

I guess I’ve got 100k on my seat covers and new foam now. It still feels perfect.
