well if you have a stock ram your ok you do not have a lower fascia/rollpan or tube bumper
so you are fine.
as far as your codes take it to autozone and they can read the code for free.

Hammer is a trained chef and has worked as a head chef as recently as 2004. Although by trade a Network Admin, I have twice worked as a chef. Just ain't got it in me to cook all day, everyday. You can ask Pyro or Ramhunter if I can cook or not.

But the PIE promise came from Ramhunter, so therefor, it would be he who would need a lesson.


As for your code, sounds like your brake booster isn't getting the vacuum it needs. There is a vacuum line connected from the booster, On the Hemi, if your looking at your engine, it goes to the right of the throttle body, on the side, you should see a fitting. Should look similar and be in about the same location on your engine. Check this line for cracks or a possible loose or broken clamp.

They love to crack anywhere that there is a sharp bend in the hose. I have a couple of pics to help you:

Ya, I remembered after that post that Ramhunter was the one in need of a crash course in PIE 101,lol

Supergirl you said "Will not fit vehicle with factory or aftermarket lower fascia/rollpan or tube bumper can someone please translate this for me?"

The only part I see is a possibility of a Factory lower fascia but I don't think you have one of those. I don't think any hitch maker would be dumb enough not to offer a hitch for one of the nations most popular trucks. I know a guy that has a hitch on a Hyundai for goodness sake!
