It’s okay…no excuses required. Many of us have height challenged wives. We know how it works…you can’t see the steps from the inside when driving. You know they’re there but can’t see them. It’s better than them not being there at all and the noise you’ll hear on the inside of the cab from the height challenged aka short passenger!

Plus, we all know who wears the pants in the family. And any guy who says he does is D-I-V-O-R-C-E-D or celebrate!
I wear the pants in the family!
My wife just tells me which ones to wear!

Will this work anywhere or is it regional? We cannot get satellite radio in Hawaii. If so, that will save me some dough for awhile and it will be dialed by the time we get to the mainland. Mahalo and later.
Not sure what you are asking about.

Ordered airlift bags. For $130, I figured they'd be a good upgrade for the travel trailer and other general hauling. I'll have to do some research on which is better, but now I'm wondering if it's better to plumb them in together or on separate lines? I'm open to opinions. Guess I'll have plenty of time to research. Prime 2 day shipping will have it here late next week :LOL:

Search for JScan, equivalent to AlfaOBD just for iPhones.
I have an older (10+ years) VeePeak but see that for JScan I'll need something newer. The Veepeak OBDCheck BLE+ on some websites says that it sucks with IOS. Does anyone have any recommendations for OBD adapters that work well with IOS?

Got my faulty hood switch fixed under TSB S2008000138, which will hopefully fix the issues with my Electric Start/Stop availability (and, fingers crossed, the occasional stall-out when the ESS tried to start the truck when I let off the brake at a red light).

Electronics are fun and cool and I love them, but sometimes I miss the days of simpler engines. 😉

Did you add the factory trailer brake setup yourself? Any info on this? Part numbers , etc?
Part number - 82215278AE

you can also order all the individual parts for the OEM brake controller kit, and save some money, it was just easier for me to order the whole kit in Canada, because I couldn’t find a dealer that had every part in stock, and by the time I paid shipping from 3 different dealers to get every component, it was cheaper to buy the whole kit.

Once installed, you’ll need the BCM flashed at the dealer or with AlphaOBD.

I plumbed them together. I ran the airline behind the driver taillight and installed the schrader valve in one of the rivenut holes inside the bed so I didn’t have to drill holes in the bumper.

Obligatory, didnt happen today.

Dropped down to 3 grill lights to match the rears and replaced the clear lights with smoked one.

I'm thinking of mounting in the bed too. I'm kicking around the idea of fabbing / mounting a plate there with a guage(s) too to show pressure at all times (plumbed in line). Wish those holes were just threaded, now I gotta track down rivnut stuff ha.

The comma 3 or 2 are there satellites regionally dependent. We cannot get satellite radio out here.
No satellite needed. At this point, you don't need internet or GPS. It looks at the road as you drive.

Got it, thanks. I was thinking it would need gps for MPH in an area. That means I could buy it and fool around before I would get any serious use out of it until we are the mainland. To me it is quite resonable now, when it is in production price goes down, maybe? I have used ACC to go from one side of the island to my house with touching my peddles, this would be next level. Again mahalo for the response.

Anyone have a pic of stock truck w/ 295/60r20 AT's on stock rims? Got a billet silver 22 3500 night edition on order. After running 37's on my past two HD's I'm leaning toward this size for the new rig. Thx in advance

You might want to try asking over at the HD Rams site. All you’ll get here is pictures of 1500’s.

New Bumper and some plasti dip emblems for now. New Flame Red front bumper cover arriving tomorrow. Now what to do with the chrome grille 🤔. Black vinyl wrap, plasti dip or replace completely. Decisions, Decisions.
