To get past the gateway module, you need to find a star connector. Star connectors are junctions between all the modules and Chrysler has them in different places in each vehicle. If you backprobe a star connector with a spare OBD-2 port, you can plug in your scan tool and access all the modules. Chrysler teaches their techs this technique in their class.

Wheel stud torque is 129 ft lbs. There was a recall on all Ram duallies from 2012 and newer when they switched to metric studs. Nobody at Chrysler noticed that the torque values in all service and owners literature had not been changed until last year. Apparently the old torque values resulted in some stretched studs.

Great photography work. Having only changed pads on autos, I learned early on to ck the brake fluid reservoirs first and take some fluid out first. Compressing 4 pistons make a mess if you don't.

[@marcfox622]

Most people don't understand that you don't put any kind of lube on wheel studs. I agree with you 100%! Causes less friction on the threads which causes more turns of the nut at the same torque which causes more wheel stud stretch and over stretching it. Do that enough times and you'll end up with broken wheel studs. Some things are designed to use lube and others are not. Always go by what the manufacturer recommends. Your a good technician Ray! If I lived near you I would bring my vehicles to you for service.

[@ponycar351w]

Ray, thanks for all the videos, including the practical tips, explanations for why things work the way they do and the humor. You are a credit to your profession. I wish KZbin had been around 30 years ago when I started working on my cars, because your videos would have REALLY helped! Up in the "Great White North" (Wisconsin in my case) I always use the new brake pad shims, after wire wheeling and filing the rust off/out of the lands. I believe I heard somewhere that you lived up in the rust belt at one point, so you probably remember that rust usually jacks the old shims up against the pads and does a number on them. I also *do* put anti-sieze on the wheel studs and where the rim lands on the hub, so that I can remove the wheels without power tools if a situation warrants it. Things I'm sure you don't miss now that you're down in Florida. Also, thanks for selling the brake compressing tool. I got one after seeing you use it and talk about it, and it does work well.

I always would grease the new caliper shims to allow the calipers to slide in the channel, prevent it from hanging when brake pedal released.

You can use anti-seize on studs The industry standard from bolt manufacturers are to reduce the torque by 30% when adding lubricants

[@robertopenheimer1451]

The torque is developed by the tension on the seat of the lugnut against the rim, not in the threads. Don't believe me? Apply a small amount of wax ( lubricant) on the lug seat of the wheel. Then torque the nut to specs. You will strip the threads out before acheiving torque.

[@roberthoward5433]

@@robertopenheimer1451 Thanks, this is good to know. I was contemplating putting anti seize on nut and bolt faces instead of threads because of our Northern oxidation problems

[@marcfox622]

That may be okay if your the only guy ever to torque those lug nuts. If the customer goes to the tire shop for some reason the tire jockey has no idea about anti seize or other lube on the threads an is gonna torque them down to normal factory spec which at that point be over torquing things. Better off to just not add lube just like the factory does, then everyone will be on the same page with no risk of over torquing and having broken wheel studs.

(True) Story time. It was 10:27am on 28th December 1989 in Newcastle Aus. I was working on a boat trailer (with boat still on it). I had all the suspension and axles removed. The boat and trailer were sitting on stands ONLY. I went to my workshop to get some parts. At that moment, an 5.6 Richter scale earthquake struck. When I went back to see what happened to the boat and trailer, it was sitting on the ground. It had fallen off the stands. Had I been under it I would have been crushed. Luck only made me climb out from under it and go to the workshop. In that moment nearly all of the swiss cheese hole had lined up. Yes an earthquake is an extreme event and not that I am expecting another earthquake however since that moment I have always used jacks + stands (with load shared) + wheels under the chassis (if the wheels are off). I was young and stupid then but it was a valuable lesson learned. You never know what strange circumstance may occur. Remember, everything is trying to kill you. Take care everyone.

Yo RainDude. Though the discs look perfect, it is a good practice to check the thickness of the rotor at the outer diameter and at the hub.

Still you would be my mechanic....FOR LIFE! That caliper compressor tool is BADASS!

[@lukekirkby5304]

This is a very controversial topic. I originally would never just change pads then have done many pad slaps (different bosses opinions). Personally I will always machine rotors where possible. Even if the rotor looks good when you machine them you soon find they aren't always as true as you would believe and yes typically the outer surface is more worn then the inner. Most people would struggle to accurately measured the wear on a rotor but whem machining it shows. Also I have found once bedded in machined/new rotors seem to have much better bite. I think it as like re-ringing an engine without honing the bores. Yes it works but it isn't functioning to its peak efficiency. Yes those piston pushing tools work very well and are well worth the money.

My two cents. On the issue of lubricating studs, torque spec is given for a brand new thread. When pitting and corrosion start making an appearance that changes the ability of the nut to torque down. I think that adding lubricant restores that torque ability. The other issue is on the jack stand, if you watch the hydraulic press Channel you will see where a 3-ton jack stand will take over 10 tons before it starts to fail.
