    Jeeper interested in a 5th Gen

    I came from Jeeps as well, but several generations of Grand Cherokees. Wish I would have came to Ram sooner.

    Need new tires 285/45-22

    Had several sets of LTX MS/2's on previous years of grand cherokees. Those tires ride and wear great,. Fair in average offroad scenerios, but you won't go anywhere in wet grass. Period. LOL Had the AT2/s on my 19 Big Horn. Loved them as I have a few hundred acres of farmland and also tow a...

    Tow Mirror Suggestions

    I was in the exact same situation with my previous 2019. I went with the Boost mirrors and they did fine. Only complaint I had was much over 55mph with the mirrors extended and they started to vibrate pretty bad. Heard it was an issue with some, but not all. Most recent vehicle required a...

    Backup camera connector repair.

    Assuming you're referring to the Fakra coaxial connection that goes from rear bumpernto digital rear view mirror ?

    Installed aftermarket mirrors

    Interesting. Still sounds like something went short to ground in the mirror.

    Ram 1500 trailer lights

    Yeah, wouldn't think it blew all of the trailer lighting fuses at once. Seperate the connector halves just behind the rear bumper. Check the first connection behind the trailer plug for voltage. I've had to replace quite a few of the bumper mounted connectors. Myself included on 2 different...

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    So, I've had the most recent update for several days now. Found one bug so far that nobody has mentioned yet... -Remote start/push button start vehicle. -Let idle for 4-5min. -Drive vehicle for 5-10 min and switch off. -Restart vehicle in less that 30 min and Uconnect will reboot...

    Installed aftermarket mirrors

    Sounds like the module does not like the new mirrors and/or they may not be wired correctly for your truck. Unplug just the mirrors from the module in the door. Verify if door switch controls return correctly. You mentioned concerns over the ambient air temperature sensor. Not sure if the...

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    My update for the update dropped today. Happened while I was at the grocery store. Said heck with it and let it update while I shopped. Update completed and per usual, some assorted controls were missing. Got home a few miles away and . being the opps behind the recent updated, I always...

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    Nope. Just had to enable them in AlfaObd.

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    I was able to find some TRX takeoffs. The angle is just a bit different on these. They do still point downward however. Been pretty happy so far. No whistles and no vibration. OEM# 68446975AA and 684446974AA

    What are these extra tow mirror connections?

    Didn't have to recal mine. I have a 22 limited. Went from regular loaded mirrors to loaded tow mirrors. All I had to do was enable a few options in AlfaObd and everything else was plug and play. Not sure on the connector. Blind spot alert maybe?

    standard folding mirrors vs. trailer tow package mirrors ?

    Sure thing! Install is super straight forward. Just literally plug and play. 2-3 values in AlfaObd to adjust if you have the reverse lights and you're in business. Feel free to hit me up if you run into any install issues.

    standard folding mirrors vs. trailer tow package mirrors ?

    Absolutely! The OEM ones I found also had the additional reverse light in the mirror. Controlled with cargo lamp button. Requires AlfaObd in order to enable the reverse light. Everything else will be plug and play. Even the 360 cameras. I had aftermarket tow mirrors (Boost) on my previous...
