Might be on to something. Had it in for for the recall sw update back in the winter. Honk on lock stopped working. Sometime over the summer there was an OTA update and it suddenly came back. Last week, had it for battery drain for which they did some software updates, and guess what? No...

Yup, I've noticed that. Had to purchase faraday bags to keep the fobs in when we sleep in the back on camping trips. The infotainment system is powered up the whole time the doors are open (about 10A), and then stuff remains on even after the door closes. 5 minutes after the doors are locked...

I've had the dealer test the battery and it "tested ok" even though it wasn't. A lot of them don't know how to test or anything about batteries. I came into the dealer this weekend. After 45 minutes on the highway, the truck was at 11.4V when we turned it on for the advisor to try to download...

I've seen some of the dirt roads going off in the distance. Do want to get out there, but the YL isn't as keen. A few years ago, I picked up these small cast iron dishes. They fit perfectly on my portable propane grill, and they're great for 2 sunny side or over-medium eggs in the morning...

I'm jealous you beat me to camping hotpot. I've passed the turn off for Trona Rd a few times now going to the Owen's valley from SoCal. Looks like some neat stuff up there.

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...
