    Best tuner for 2019 Ram 1500

    I bought my 2019 Ram in July 1018. My truck has a 392 rear end. That rear end ratio has the advantage of quicker acceleration from the line, better pulling power when towing but less gas milage on the highway. With the powerful 5.8 Hemi and that 392 rear end it will jump into action before...

    Uconnect 12 Bugs

    You are being misled. First of all your memory 1 or memory 2 will be what saves your presets regarding radio stations, Sirius XM presets, seat position, pedal position and the rest. With the engine running and in park set everything the way you want it. Then press the set button then the...

    PEDAL COMMANDER

    The problem wasn't stopped by either turning the PC off or leaving it on the same setting. It was only resolved by removing the PC. It occurred so randomly yet increasingly more often that taking it out was the last step to take. I had the PC two months before the first event and now almost...

    PEDAL COMMANDER

    Same thing happened to me. At first it caused all sorts of warning lights to pop up on dash. It would say everything from I just had a collision to traction control needs service. It would speed up on its on and then when I wanted it to speed up the engine would not respond. It did different...

    12” Software update is out

    Uconnect will update automatically over the air(OTA) however if signal connection is weak then it will take longer or it may take many tries before the update is successful. The success of the update is a function of both file size and signal strength. Taking it to your dealer may necessary as...

    12" Uconnect Reset?

    I had the same problem with my new truck. It was like the movie 50 first dates. Part of the problem was Uconnect wasn't properly updating and part of the problem was in my hand. Your radio station presets, Sirius station presets, seat presets, and almost every other darn thing that you want...

    Anyone using a retractable cover?

    On my Avalanche I had the 3 piece hard covers you could stand on and remove all or just one. I wanted the ease of retractable so I got a $1800 manual retrax. The drain tube was put through a hole they either drilled or it had a knock out cover. The retrax mx works great but it takes up like...

    Transmission Lag

    You can turn off the automatic parking brake in the settings. I had the same problems and knew it was the fact the brake automatically sets on its own or if you put in park. So I turned off the auto brake so when I miss shift to Park then I don't need to release the brake. If I want to set...

    Navigation voice search

    I have had the same frustration with the Nav. I have the 12" screen. When ever I type or say anything to the darn thing it says it cant do that or tell it something else or whatever. When parked it says it has no internet connection. My phone is paired to it and my phone has internet so...

    Had some system updates done today.

    The latest update is for all 2019 Rams. Everyone needs to have it done. I was driving in the tunnel underneath Boston when my truck started lighting up the warning lights on my dash and slowing to 10 mph. This was during rush hour and the last place on earth you want to break down. So with...

    Apple CarPlay will not work now

    Its not your phone or cords. Its something with the Uconnect program. I just drove 5000 miles across country with my wife and what I found out to temporarily solve the problem was as follows. Disconnect the cord to the truck. Apple Play requires the cord and your bluetooth won't because of...

    Transmission Lag

    I found it to be a matter of the truck and I learning each other. I don't know if it is learning my habits but I know I cuss at it and learn its habits. Its in the computer chip acceleration programming. Meaning the response time will take into consideration a lot of engineering factors and...

    Anti–Spin Differential Rear Axle

    If you want to off road or rock climb then the e-locker is a practical choice. If you mainly drive paved or gravel or dirt roads or snow and ice then limited slip is best for traction in a strait line. 4wd with limited slip and traction control is the best on slippery surfaces. On dry hard...
