What did you do to your Ram today???

[jeep12joe]

Looks SO much better with the painted mirrors!

Agreed. I don't mind some chrome but the mirrors were big time overkill. I'd also like to wrap the top and bottom chrome rails of the grill body color, but from everything I read its not likely I'll be able to find an exact match.

Did a few things recently. First, I had the crap stock Goodyears replaced with some Continental TerrainContact A/T. Then, I got rid of the chrome on the mirrors in favor of body color (best $60 I've ever spent). Finally, I installed a Lomax hard tonneau cover to replace the ugly stock soft cover.

Looks good! Have you had a chance to drive with those tires through any heavy rain by chance yet? I would like to have the same tire as you over the HT but I do around 60K per year and drive through a good amount of rain on the highway. Thanks in advance!

I haven't driven in heavy rain yet. A little light rain around town, none on the highway yet. I drive a lot myself, so when I do get some heavy rain I will report back. Otherwise, I love them so far.

Thanks! Tire research drives me crazy. Between the Jeep & the truck & how each one behaves differently per vehicle. I think the Continental’s will give some peace of mind for the travel we do.

Many people forget that every vehicle drives differently and that owners of one vehicle may rave about one type of tire, but that same tire could be absolutely horrible on a different vehicle. I always try to find reviews from people driving vehicles close to what I am buying the tires for. But also am not afraid to try new tires.

Been Testing out the Latest Software for my Comma3 from Comma.ai. This device makes your RAM self-drive similar to a Tesla.
We have the Steer to 0 MPH working now. Your RAM needs Lane Keep Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control for the Comma3 to work.

Anyone interested in getting this? I, for one, do not have the ability or skill to program all of this., but I am definitely ready for it.

Happy wheel Wednesday!

Dropped it off to get the back window replaced, hoping for the best but I'm nervous about it.

I've get a small drip or two on the interior window after each wash. Something I'm watching with a fine eye and thankful to garage it each night. Will inform the dealership next oil change and see if it requires replacement or reseal.

Couldn’t have said it better. There are some highly rated tires I’ve used on my old Cherokee or Silverado in the past that I just couldn’t understand why folks liked them, at first. Over time with several different vehicles it finally made sense to me. I haven’t been hesitant to try new tires on the past but now that I will be going through a different set each year with the amount I now drive for work & being farther away from home, I want to be more dead set on the right tire for the application. Unfortunately, that’s now noise, heavy rain on the highway, & comfort. I’ve had AT’s or MT’s for so long that it’s strange to go a different route.

I would love to try this out. But I’m assuming it requires a flash or something similar that would void warranty, correct? If so, it will certainly be nice if the dealership could program it in to maintain warranty in the future. I know I saw a post on the UC5 being capable for it before.

Nope. Nothing to void your warranty.

I am also running it now, thanks to @Malodave. I am running it on a Comma 2, though, which doesn't have as complete support yet as the Comma 3.

On my truck, it does everything Dave mentioned EXCEPT it stops steering the truck whenever my speed is below 32 MPH. The ACC will still control the speed down to 0, it just doesn't steer itself below 32. An unexpected benefit is that it doesn't matter how long I am stopped, the truck will automatically resume now, when the car in front of me goes.

It is really awesome! I received the final parts that I needed (from Dave, actually) at lunch time last Friday. I installed it in less than an hour and went for a short test drive. It worked fine, so I loaded up and hit the road from SC to NJ. 700 miles and the Comma with OpenPilot made it so easy! I basically drove straight through.

The install is easy. The only tools you need are a 10mm socket wrench, a wide slotted screwdriver (or plastic body trim pry tool) and maybe a very, very thin slotted screwdriver or similar.

The thin screwdriver is only to help you pop out the trim piece directly above/behind the rearview mirror.

The wide screwdriver or panel tool is to pop off the big trim piece/housing that is behind the rearview mirror (the big piece that the little piece in the previous step snaps into). There's a slot to insert a tool at the front right corner, so you can insert the tool between the trim piece and the windshield and twist to get it started popping off.

The 10mm socket wrench is to loosen the two bolts under the hidey panels on the driver's side grab rail. With that loose, the trim that runs up the pillar from the dash to the roof is loose and lets you hide the Ethernet cable under it.

And that's it.

There's a power adapter that plugs into the OBD II port below the steering wheel. The Ethernet cable plugs into that and runs under the A pillar trim and across the top of the windshield and into the housing behind the rearview mirror. That powers the little black box that you put in there. The wiring harness plugs in inside that same housing, too. No cutting or splicing needed. And then a USB-C cable comes out of that same little black box and sticks out from the trim piece/housing to plug into the Comma to give it power and communication to the little black box.

The hardest part of it all is if you pop the mirror off its stalk. Popping it off is easy. Popping it back on is a giant pain. In my case, I pushed on it so hard, and I guess with a little side force, the stalk popped off the mount that it attaches to. I had to first pop the mirror back onto the ball on the end of the stalk and then pop the stalk back onto its mount against the windshield. No tools required for any of that. It just takes a lot of force at an awkward angle. And I was worried about reefing on the mirror enough to break it.

Even with all that, I was under an hour from start to finish and ready to drive.

I could take it all out in probably 10 minutes or so and you'd never know it had been there.

I replaced the halogen stock bulbs (High/Low beam and Fogs) with Auxito LED bulbs from Amazon. I cannot believe I didn't upgrade sooner. Incredible difference (as shown). Even better at night!!
I am physically unwell but was able to complete a total change over in less than two hours. I watched a couple Youtube videos and went for it. Definitely has to take out the Air intake box on the passenger's side and moved a couple ground connections on the Driver's side. All doable if you have patience and take your time. It was friggin hot and humid out last night.

Many thanks to 90Addict for assistance on ordering!!

Yup, mine is garaged too. I didn't notice it until I took a trip to Austin, Texas and I drove through HEAVY rain

Awesome. Mind sharing the part number you ordered?

First wash after late delivery delivery last night. That Patriot Blue in the sun is incredible.

There is no way Stellantis is going to authorize the use of an aftermarket autopilot. The liability for them would be yuuge.

Lemme know what they find today and any remedy they apply.
