    Throttle hesitation at take off...

    I've had this same problem since I got my truck new. Maybe I'm just crazy, but I swear it feels way less pronounced when I put 89 octane in versus 87. The manual calls for 89 with 87 being only acceptable, but not preferred.

    Useless Connect

    I have a funny thing with my wireless Android Auto doing this same thing. I never thought about the wifi at home, because it does it there briefly when I leave or arrive, just stutters once, silence for a few seconds, then says no phone connection, then will come back after a bit. But it also...

    Fluid Film DIY Kit

    We used to use Fluid Film pretty extensivly on the not-often-opened areas of our helos in the Navy, those things get regularly sprayed with salt water mist and live outside next to the beach. It does wonders really, very rarely have I seen corrosion inside those spaces, when I do it's usually...

    Is there a way to dump the navigation history?

    I'm assuming your intentions are to see where you went exactly, not see what destinations you punched in to get there. If that's the case, gHiDoRa's suggestion is your best bet. I don't know how to find location history on Apple but a quick internet search should find it for you. I know with...

    High Battery Voltage

    High voltage is one of the symptoms I saw when I had a nut fall off one of the fuse box studs, along with a charging system warning message. Check your underhood fuse box nuts, you should only have one missing right in the center, position 5. I was missing a nut on position 2, the second from...

    "updated" fuel filler neck still gets gas pumps stuck to it.

    I had the stuck nozzle problems on my 2022 when I first got it, Maryland gas pumps on base. It wasn't stuck nearly as bad as y'all are describing though, it would just make me mess around with it for a few seconds. I found the lifting up and out to be the ticket, sometimes combining with a...

    Pop behind dash (screen) and wont start

    Mine does the radio pop every time I hold the power button for a radio reset, I'm pretty sure that's just the radio/amp being funky when power cycled and not an actual symptom of electrical problems. That being said, there's still a problem that's causing that radio power cycling, I'm just...

    What was your interest rate when you financed your new ram?

    I traded in my Tacoma for this Ram, got a good bit of cash out of it, about what I was expecting at a time where the market was really wonky last year. Ended up with Chrysler wanting something like 3.94%, my credit union gave me 2.04 at 74 months.

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    Sounds like an old Nissan pickup I had, no battery hold down on it either. Except instead of it causing any problems at all, it was just grounding the negative post to the bottom of the hood. Thankfully someone put a right hand positive battery in it and the positive was under an area that...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    Sore, but a little happier I can transport myself now. And hey, maybe someone else will find this thread useful, I have no idea how I missed that nut missing but a round mark present and visible, I just assumed no marked location on the fuse box lid meant nothing was supposed to be there like...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    Okay, of all things the tow truck driver stellantis sent fixed the truck. Issue was a nut on the number two fuse box input fell off. I didn't notice, but the drive saw the witness mark from a nut that was no longer there. Pushed the area down with a pen, it arced, and truck came to life. Put...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    I hope so, I need the truck so I can get to work just to not do anything! Dang Military, can't stay home when you're broken, always some paperwork to do and people to manage, but I can't really complain other than my commute time doubling now that I can't lane split. I should go ask my brother...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    I went with an H7 because that was what I could get locally yesterday and figured an Optima would be a good choice. It didn't fix the issue last night and I left it on the tender overnight with the plan of putting it back in this afternoon after work to see if that does it. Unfortunately on...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    Okay, so we've made some progress, or rather, have some more information. Got a new Optima Yellow 94R in there, part number DH7 from AutoZone. Measured 12.3V before I hooked it up to the truck, got it in there and no change. Slapped a jump pack on there, brought it up to 12.45V steady, still...

    FIXED(almost) completely dead electrical system. No crank no start no dash

    I guess that's where I'm at right now. I found a 94R optima yellow top in stock, grabbing that in an hour or so. I'll throw in my vote on the dead battery thread if this ends up being the problem. Adding a photo of the message.
