    HEADLIGHT UPGRADE

    I had the Morimotos in my 19 Big Horn. They are much better than stock, but the cutoff is super sharp for projectors. Mine took some finesse with a side of profanity to get them aimed properly. Held up for the 2 yrs I had them with zero issues. The ONLY issue I had was my fault due to...

    Weird two way radio sounds

    I dunno bro. I can try and run it thru some of my sound processing stuff to extract the audio if you like. Might take a me a few days as I've got a full sched the net little bit.

    SECURITY GATEWAY AND OBDII ACCESS

    That's the bad fallback about Autel. It's MANDATORY that the tool have an active Autel subscription as well since it all goes thru their servers. Call AutoAuth quick enough if your Autel subscription is expired and you don't plan to renew and they will issue a refund.

    SECURITY GATEWAY AND OBDII ACCESS

    This is the preferred method with Autel. I have the 906TS and it works fine with bypass cable and Auto Auth subscription. Since retiring from automotive, I prefer to use Alpha and the MX USB cable so I can connect directly to a Windows laptop.

    Alignment Check

    Unless the eccentric adjusters on the control arms are maxed out on both sides, I'd ask them to finish the alignment. Not being a d!ck, but there's room for improvement. Look at the adjusters on the front passenger lower control arm. If there's ample room for it to move left or right, take it...

    Android auto and Waze....When Waze speaks directions, radio volume ducks down. 50% of the time, stays down and Waze does not release radio volume back

    Same issue in my 2014 Grand Cherokee with 8.4"and 2019 Big Horn with 8.4". I've since ditched Waze and moved back to CarPlay with Apple Maps. I seem to have had less random adventures with Maps vs Waze.

    Weird two way radio sounds

    Does this happen at the same locations? You might be near a high power repeater.

    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.

    Newest software version of 2022 12 inch radio?

    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...
