    Stellantis Considers a car Monetizable for first 5 years

    You're correct that it doesn't spell out in explicit terms to install a breathalyzer. But the manufacturers will be required to design and install some sort of system to monitor, detect, and prevent drunk driving. If not a breathalyzer, than possibly a needle in the arm to monitor blood...

    Stellantis Considers a car Monetizable for first 5 years

    https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/house-bill/3684/text search down to SEC. 24220. Three seconds to find it on the internet. Whether the bill states specifically that a breathalyzer WILL be installed, (bills usually aren't that specific), it's quite clear from the language what auto...

    Stellantis Considers a car Monetizable for first 5 years

    Yep. It is in SEC. 24220. ADVANCED IMPAIRED DRIVING TECHNOLOGY. of H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which was signed into law 11/15/2021. Read Bob Barr's take on that: https://dailycaller.com/2021/11/29/barr-bidens-infrastructure-bill-contains-backdoor-kill-switch-for-cars/

    Man! That's tough. Why not cancel the order and reorder with a different pkg?

    Can a 'kill switch' be added via software to existing trucks?

    Ha ha! Tinfoil hats may actually soon have their place in the world. But of course one would need a full-body tinfoil wrap to actually guard against the dreaded frequencies. A town full of tinfoil wrapped civilians may be the only truly free people left in 20 years. Great truck!!

    Can a 'kill switch' be added via software to existing trucks?

    "If they can start it, they can kill it. It may take a slight code change/update but UConnect will allow you to remotely start it so I don't doubt they could push an update over the air to enable a kill feature." Which begs the question, can over-the-air UConnect updates be disabled or...

    Can a 'kill switch' be added via software to existing trucks?

    I know politics is banned on this forum. This post relates to technical questions that relate to recently passed legislation. Not wanting political opinions at all - just technical. Buried in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (H.R.3684) just signed into law is Sec. 24220 - 'Advanced...

    Thanks! Looks like the Ram Tracker is for 5th-Gens/TRXs and the Crowdsourced Spreadsheet is for 2500s.

    Start of 2022 Production.

    Is the '2022 RAM TRACKER' the same as the 'Crowdsourced Spreadsheet'? If not, how does one get on the Ram Tracker?

    Does one need to 'unlock' the truck computer to change things via tools like AlphOBD?

    I read in a thread on another forum that what sucks about Dodge (or Chrysler?) is they lock the computer so one can't change anything. But I've also read posts on this forum where folks are using tools like AlphaOBD to change certain parameters in the computer. Some questions: 1. If the...

    LDS (Louisiana Dealership Services) extended warranty - any good?

    *(I posted this in the HD Ram forum also) Concerning extended warranties, has anyone here purchased/used the LDS extended warranty that MD offers? I understand one can use this warranty at any CDJR dealership and ASE shops. Not wanting to get into the pros/cons debate of extended warranties...

    Big Horn 4x4 1500 vs 2500 in the comfort category?

    Went to the local (30 miles away) Dodge dealer to drive a 2500. The young salesman was so full of energy that he hardly stopped long enough to listen to what I was wanting. I said ALL I want to do is drive a Big Horn 2500 with the 6.4L Hemi to see how the ride is. So we went out to the lot...
