    Tire size change (alfaobd) now bunch of codes/lights wont go away

    Didn’t realize they had one on android now. Nice. I haven’t attempted to run a course correct after issues with Alfa using Jscan. My thoughts are that if Jscan uses a set programming routine to modify tire size and module settings there is a decent chance it will correct the issue. If not, then...

    Tire size change (alfaobd) now bunch of codes/lights wont go away

    Both Alfa and Jscan have their perks, for sure. I have and use both. Jscan lacks a lot of the options Alfa has but does offer several nice ease-of-use options Alfa doesn't. Jscan requires a license for each VIN you want to program at $20 per vehicle. Jscan allows for a simple scan of all...

    That order, didn’t cycle, and didn’t wait. Also, if you have access to an iPhone and feel like dropping yet another 20 bucks Jscan will set the size and clear the issue as well.

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    The tcm file is upload via an alien tech pg3 handheld device when you use them. They will send one with the custom file for that 500 bucks. Best to chat with them about it. At least that part can be done remotely. I’m not sure they offer hemi tuning. Pretty sure the pcms are locked and require...

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    Also, if you're considering it, reach out to them via email or phone. They will give you a full breakdown of the changes they make to the transmission. For example, on the diesel side, we get: Eliminates 2-1 downshift hesitation at low speed tip-in maneuvers (i.e. rolling stop sign...

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    Their tune allows for full manual control of the transmission with the paddles or your regular +/- selectors. Same 8HP75 trans in both the diesel and hemi. Not sure how the mods feel about a direct link to a non-sponser so they may pull this down. I'm not sponsored, and bought everything with my...

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    Gde has a great command select trans tune for the ecodiesel and offers the same for the hemi. It’s spendy at 500 bucks. I love mine and it works great with the paddles. It wasn’t designed to work with the paddles, just a happy coincidence. I’ve compared the GDE file to the stock file in...

    Swap BCM from 2019 to 2022 for New Features?

    You’d still need the new knob to match your setup. The bcm doesn’t communicate with the old 4wd buttons. No new keys required.

    Upfitter Switches

    Yes. A dealer can program a 21 bcm for your older truck. It’s just a matter of getting them to do it. It took me jumping through a few hoops to make it happen. Never tell them what you’re doing, simply state you need a spare programmed. If you mention anything about it being for a different...

    Anyone encounter this transmission issue?

    Primarily known within the ecodiesel owners group for a great tuning operation, but they do offer this. It does what you’re looking for and I’ve had it installed on my truck since beta testing a couple years back. Only gotten better over the years with consistent free software updates and great...

    upgrading side view mirrors

    Install the 21 tow mirror cvpm. With Alfaobd change your bcm from MY20 to MY21. The soft keys should come back once the bcm thinks it’s a 2021. There’s a bit on it in the official how to thread under modifications subsection.

    Mopar Off Road Style Running Boards

    Including the part number located on a set of step brackets in case anyone is also looking down the road. May save someone a lot of time if their Google-fu is at work. Found a set on these off road steps on Facebook missing a bracket for 100 bucks and couldn’t pass them up. After a fresh coat...

    Mopar Off Road Style Running Boards

    Off-topic to a degree, but does anyone know the part number for the brackets on these off road boards? Didn't want to create a new thread just for that if I can avoid it. Been calling around and Googling for a couple of days. The local dealer didn't have any info even when I provided a VIN. I...

    BDS 3" Elite Coilover for Ram 1500 DT

    Mine did this when the adjusting collar at the top was threaded at an angel. I had to compress the coil, loosen the set screw, and whack it around until it was straight. At least that’s the advice accutune gave me to avoid sending them in. Check and make sure yours is seated properly just in case.

    HOW TO: Add 360 Surround View Camera System

    Had to buy the whole grill to do it factory, boss. The rebel grill doesn’t have removable badging. You can fab something for cheap or spend the cash for a 21+ grill, your call. For what it’s worth I sold my factory grill for 300 and spent 450 on the replacement. Worth the 150 to me.
