    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    Thanks for the suggestions. I’ll try them out. I did change tire circumference. I tried reverting the 3 changes (tire diameter and front/rear TPMS threshold) I made and re-running proxi alignment to get back to factory state, but I’m still getting the flashing odometer and proxi misalignment...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I was able to do the PROXI alignment using a Cardaq VCI. For whatever reason the RLink devices would get stuck at various points. Now that it's completed, there were 4 modules that reported an error status during the PROXI Config alignment. The message listed was "No communication" for all of...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    Thank you for the information. That all makes sense with what I was seeing. I have nothing aftermarket that touches the CAN bus. Only additions that are electrical are 12v things like lights and a compressor. It did get interrupted the first time because it stayed at 29% long enough for the...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I was following the directions (I thought?) on the first page of this thread that said you need to use Anyscan to unlock the security gateway. Is that only for AlfaOBD, and not necessary for WiTech2? PROXI configuration alignment doesn't appear to be working correctly yet. It made it through...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    It's starting to look like either the Rlink devices don't like the splitter, or I have a bad one. If I plug either the RLink X7 or the J2534 directly into the truck with no OBD splitter, then WiTech2 is responsive. It takes about a minute to load the configs, and operations within are...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I have a Rlink J2534 that I can test later tonight. Glad to know my experience isn’t normal and I can stop beating my head against this wall.

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I’m using the TOPDON X7 and connecting to home WiFi (2Gbps). From your question, I’m assuming that behavior isn’t your experience? On average, it’s about 40 minutes to get WiTech2 to do something. What should it take?

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    EDIT: I was using a splitter and unlocking the security gateway with Anyscan. Having the second device connected seems to be what caused the issues with WiTech2. Using only WiTech2 with either Rlink device (X7 or J2534) seems to work as epected. WiTech2 can unlock the security gateway on its...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I didn’t even think to check in WiTech for that. I was looking in AlfaOBD. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll check this afternoon and report back. For the license, I didn’t see any way to connect without a license being linked. MoparTSP showed a VIN license ready to use, but WiTech said there...

    How To Use AlfaOBD On 2025+

    I got everything working after a few hours of fighting with it. To get the Topdon X7 working with WiTech I had to install some missing VC++ redistributables that were not installed as part of the WiTech install. Prior to that I just got a gray screen and a message at the bottom saying an...

    Ram Rebel leveling dilemma

    It may not be very different. I’m interested to see. I know the MFT tailgate and reinforcements are notably heavier than the normal ones, but I’m not sure by how much. My friend has a TRX with the standard tailgate and every time I close his I feel like Hercules with how light it feels. Post...

    Ram Rebel leveling dilemma

    Out of curiosity, what information does it contradict? You may already know this, but the unloaded height of a spring is a challenging metric to compare. The type of steel used, the angle of the coils, the thickness of wire used, and the resulting spring rate, etc all have a significant impact...

    Ram Rebel leveling dilemma

    Honest answer, I don’t know. All I can share is what my experience was for my truck. My Rebel with the RamBox (with about 50 pounds in them) and MFT with the HD coils sits at 41” from fender to floor in the rear (40.125 up front). You can see the measurements from my truck and others from...

    Ram Rebel leveling dilemma

    This is pure opinion and forum speculation on my part. It is intended in the spirit of being helpful though. You may be overthinking this. A typical leveling kit will have about 1/2“ to 1” rake in order to maintain the level appearance visually. A truly level truck doesn’t look quite right...

    Ram Rebel leveling dilemma

    Well, I’m curious to see where you net out. I certainly didn’t see 2-3 inches of lift in the rear. Perhaps you have a different configuration than I do though. I had the Carli suspension and my 35” tires installed at the same time, so I doubt I would have visually noticed a 1 inch lift. To...
