Got the 2026 “Hurricane” badges installed on my 2025. To me, these look far nicer than the “SST” badges.

I’ve had Fumoto or EZ drain valves on every Cummins truck I’ve owned, but when I bought this half ton, I decided I wanted something more flush, given the lower ground clearance. Went with the FEMCO drain and I really like it.

Here’s a video of what’s happening with my truck. Any help would be appreciated.

Getting ready for maintenance this week, and swapping out my “SST” badges for “Hurricane” badges. Like the look of these more.

Did this happen to occur after an OTA uconnect update?

Noticed recently that I no longer have headlights coming on when I lock or unlock the truck in the morning. I’ve checked and re-checked all settings in the uconnect that should permit this to happen, and all are set correctly. Headlights function normally while driving. Also noticed that, ever...

Thanks that made sense in my head, but I had a bunch of idiots trying to convince me that running it in 4WD auto was “the same as 2WD unless it detects wheel slip” and I knew that couldn’t be right. Has to have an axle disconnect or something. I appreciate the confirmation. That connection being...

So there is indeed a disconnect in the front axle that engages when in 4WD auto and disengages in 2WD mode?

How does Ram achieve this setting? Are they using a front axle disconnect like the HD’s or do they have some sort of partial engagement of the transfer case? I would assume they have the driveline prepared to transfer power when the transfer case clutches engage once wheel slip is detected...

Yep that’s what I assumed. I’d be ok with paying the dealership to turn it on, my concern is wether or not they would be competent enough to do it successfully without causing any issues.

It’s the activation that has me concerned. Not sure AlphaOBD will work on a 2025, and from what I’ve been hearing, dealerships are having trouble activating sales codes with 25’s as well.

I believe my 2025 might be doing the same. Any update on your situation?

Noticed this tap / tick the last few days when I cold start the truck after it sits overnight. I don’t remember this truck previously doing this, but it only has 1,600 miles on it since I bought it new. Still on the factory fill oil. I’m not very familiar with this engine since it’s so new. Not...
