Re: Ram/Cummins mandatory recall

I have a 2019 2500 and had the flash completed at the dealer. I have noticed that the truck is more sluggish on the takeoff. My mpg has gone down as well by 2 to 3 mph. I don't push or hot rod it unless I am getting on the freeway quickly.

Looking forward to hearing from ya. Don't settle for just a crank bait. Jerkbaits, swimbaits, glidebaits, topwater, he pretty much has it down.

Go with the Duracell AGM's from Sams. At $179 a battery they are hard to beat. I have run them in my 13 520c and now in the 19 Lynx. They are the best battery on the market for the price of an AGM. I have yet to wear them out fishing the delta or any lake. They are a solid battery.

Sounds (looks) like the pinion gear broke and your vertical drive shaft may have seized. Don't crank or try to run you will only increase the cost of repairs. You need a good mechanic. Probably a lower unit rebuild with other internal damage. Been there twice not so cheap
