Hi and TIPM Relay Question

Hi and TIPM Relay Question
Hello Everyone!
I have a 2011 crew cab Ram ST with 5.7 liter hemi. I'm trying to identify some of the fuses in the top half of the TIPM, specifically K1, K2, K3 and K4. I can see how they are labelled in the lid of the fuse cover. What I'm intersted in is how they effect the trucks starting, if they are bad, especially K3. Picture attached.

Others have told me that there is an additional relay that is an integrated part of the TIPM itself, which is down underneath the fuse box. They did not explain the relays I am questioning and stopped responding. It seems like Chrysler might have a group out crusing these forums to run damage control. They will answer questions to a point, then they disappear. My point is that any relay tagged with a "run" as part of its name, or "start' as part of it's name, probably has something to do with starting and running the vehicle.
Also, I'd welcome any comments on the MDS system of the Hemi engines, the harmonic stress it puts on the timing chain and tensioner when the cylinders activate, and the resulting catastrophic engine failures they have been experiencing as a result of timing chain/tensioner failures. This is happening in both Challenger and Ram vehicles.
Ok how was that?

Other forums, but, "you can't believe everything you read on the Internet", right?
What about the relays and the intermittent start problem, no thoughts here?

Also, Mastertech and I plus a few other techs that aren't mods are available to anyone for anything at anytime through PM or email. OR, if you would like one of us to take a look at your problem in the forums and respond, just link it in PM. We don't always see every post of every thread due to the 11-12 hours/6 days we pull.

Nearly identical, yes, but very different also. Do some research. I do believe you will find the timing gear parts on the Ram are different from the Challenger.
I would think with 4 different forums there would be a high percentage of belief.
No thoughts on this.
That is still my question to you.
Sounds like you are trying to be a little snarky here.
