I agree. My truck has had to go in for other issues anyways, so it was no additional time on my part to have them replace the battery, and I'll save the $160 to put towards a nice replacement once the warranty runs out.

My truck refuses to even let the interior lights stay on with the doors open. Really irritating around camp. How do you get them to stay on? The big battery drain I've found are the infotainment and dashboard systems that insist on powering up whenever there's the slightest hint of activity...

No BT, but I have some other temperature monitoring capabilities, and of course I can read the IBS temp. That being said, it's going to have to wait a couple weeks. Truck is currently out of service AGAIN(!!!) for a recurring check engine light, and it just got pushed back (dealer) another...

I've designed my system to be able to power a 2000w inverter at full power. I also set it up to "trickle" backfeed the truck at up to 18A, (still adjusting due to lack of diligence calculating the loss on the back feed circuit, only getting about 10A). The batteries each have 2x AS150u, which...

IMHO probably. I have 2 x 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries, and I unload them after each road trip. I have a fiberglass topper on my bed, and during the days right now, the outside air temps hit the mid 70's, but inside the sealed up topper + bed, it's hitting close to 120F. Most of the these...

Not sure about #1 and #2 . I have the non etorque and a shell on the bed. As for #3, there's a grommet under the carpet over the raised area under the back seat. I routed my coax through there. You kinda have to fish for it because it routes through the frame. I put the bulk coax and rear...

I used the grommet on the floor underneath the back of the left back seat. You kinda have to snake the wires to get out through a hole in the frame, but I brought coax, and the rear cam cable from the camera mounted on the shell back window this way. I used some flex wire loom first, and then...

Mine started coming off at 9 months. Got replaced under warranty, but concerning nonetheless. Thanks for the info of how much that will cost post warranty.

Wow thanks for the follow up. With all that, I'm surprised nothing else was wrong and giving additional codes. I'm not set up to take apart my engine, and I doubt any of the dealers will be so involved (last one said they drove it around a bunch to try to reproduce, but I only saw <1mi on the...

Wow, and I thought it was bad around my area that they won't look at anything for a month+. I did have one dealer tell me they had no access to the service records from the previous dealer because they're a franchise... but I though all dealers were franchises. Very different from getting my...

Sorry to hear. I've had a P219B which is the same issue on bank 2 of my 2022 Hemi. Had it in the shop twice now, and I've not even had the truck a year. It's happened to me on road trips, so it manages to clear itself before making it into the dealer. The first time, it was still on the...

Sounds like that must be the case. It's just surprising to me. Guess we'll find out more eventually.

Yeah, I was looking at the gas only portion of the economy. And of course the eMPG will be higher. I was interested to see what they could wring out of the gas engine by optimizing it's operating point. Guess that part will be saved for gen 2.

Not doing this with an e-torque, but I've set up a 200Ah LiFePO4 set of aux batteries to charge from a Victron 12-12V/30A DC-DC converter. So about 400 watts to the batteries. I'd recommend you watch your wire sizes, and maybe go for an actual charger instead of just a DC-DC converter. And at...

Anyone else a bit surprised and disappointed after doing the math, and coming up with 20.3mpg for the "gas mode"? I know extra weight for batteries wiring and electric motors, but no trans and drive shaft. I would have thought it could at least achieve the current pentastar hwy mileage of...
