That's how I was under the impression it worked. So I was pleasantly surprised (for a change) by the way my truck behaved in that regard. Wonder if it also has something to do with my only paying that close attention when I'm out in the middle of no where, so there's no interference to contend...

Interesting your's takes some driving. Whenever I've let out some air or refilled when I go offroad, it's updated by the time I get back in the cab, and even does the whole honk when I hit the programmed inflation pressure. I wonder if there's something special about the OEM sensors to make...

Yup, discovered this morning the phone won't pair again to the AA system. Every other time there's OTA update, it seems to require a corresponding AA update on the phone to work again. Annoying too because the messages are not helpful (try plugging in via USB is not helpful when it's already...

Mounted up a matching tire to a full wheel with TPMS bought from Discount Tire. They programmed it up, and as they rotate the tires, the system gets updated. I forget if they have to do something each rotation, or if the system corrects itself after driving a bit. 30k miles (so several...

2022 Bighorn non e-torque. The problem actually went away for a while after they did some software updates and put a new battery in back in October. But then after recall updates and some other service in March, it came back much worse than ever. And since then I've been told working as...

I would put the cheapest battery in there, and have a jumper pack and/or separate aux battery. The real disgrace is that the buggy software that makes the truck just destroy them. I'm on my third battery in less than three years, and just had to jump start the truck again. After the last...

Not just new RAMS. 2022 here that's doing it too. 'cept I'm surrounded by incompetent dealers that say it's working as expected (hint, coming out to the truck to find the battery at 11.7V 2 hours after a 3.5 hour drive is not working correctly).

I wish mine was one. I even asked if I could pay to have them remove it at the dealer, but they refused. Yet another OTA update that drained the battery and messed with stuff. Found out when I went to hit the quick link to pull up the rear view camera before pulling out since I had a load in...

Yes they do. Randomly. The infotainment system is the biggest hog, and it gets woken up when it thinks it detects the FOB. I have to hide the FOBs in faraday bags (which do wear out so test that they still work periodically) to keep it from detecting those. It's helped a bit switching the...

I've noticed similar behavior on my '22. On mine, it's not that it's going in and out of neutral, rather it's going in and out of fuel cut off. I can see this on the fuel economy screen, the instantaneous MPG switches between 99 and something in the mid teens, corresponding to the surges. In...

I will have to grab an archive of the thread after you've come back, especially the good Thai and Vietnamese eats along the way. The NOAA weather reports are great to listen to, my radio even will respond to their emergency alerts as I discovered when I was in Texas for the eclipse). Repeaters...

@boogielander Enjoying the virtual ride along, and hoping to make the trip someday myself. Curious if you've fired up the amateur radio on the trip.

I am glad you got some reassurance that it wasn't a catastrophe and could enjoy your trip. And totally didn't expect to hear any major replies until you were back home. So all good! I too get pretty somethinged off having to stare at that check engine light as the hundreds of miles tick off...

Sorry to hear. I've just got my truck back from service for yet another P219B (same error, other bank) on similar long haul drives. Only seems to happen on long haul road trips, usually coming back towards San Diego. Probably have over 3k miles racked up with that dang code present. Latest...

I've linked to my endless reconnects of AA to the infotainment system to changes in phone network state. Everytime, it fails to handoff cell towers in a timely manner, Android goes and resets all the network connections, which borks the connection to the infotainment system. If phone...
