    CarPlay "Twitching" issue (2019 RAM DT) ???

    Humm mine do it like every 10-15 minutes from first day I purchased the truck 11 months ago. It's not THAT MUCH annoying since it only "flashes" for a milli-second, but it's still questionable for a 60K$ brand new truck.... I verified on uConnect update website with my VIN# and it says my...

    CarPlay "Twitching" issue (2019 RAM DT) ???

    Since I purchased my truck brand new one year ago (end of year sale), I have the "Twitching" issue while using Apple CarPlay on my uConnect 8.4... it's intermittent and non-consistent. I tested several USB cable (genuine Apple cables) and all the USB ports of my truck... always the same. I also...

    Any wheels skins (plastic) for 18-inch wheel from the off-road package?

    Yes... but do you have those exact wheels? They are not the base Big Horn wheels, they are the optional ones... The base wheels for the Big Horn are those wheels, they are different :

    Any wheels skins (plastic) for 18-inch wheel from the off-road package?

    I have no luck finding black "wheel skins" for my 18-inch factory wheels from the off-road package on my Big Horn. The only model I found is the Laramie's wheels, the base Big Horn wheels so as the steelies of the Tradesman who are a different design. Any clues for me? I mean those wheels :

    Aux backup lights ideas/suggestions for my 5th gen

    Wow really? 3000 lumens for a thin 3rd brake light bar like that seem a lot, isn't it? How did it compares to flood lights as for the beam pattern and reach, that's the question! However you are right that this is a good budget option and also a perfectly well integrated option that will look...

    Aux backup lights ideas/suggestions for my 5th gen

    Yes and in my own case I am looking for 6000K lights because my truck have the full LED package from factory that are all 6000K already (blueish). I was also disappointed to see how bad are the factory LED backup lights on my 5th gen since they are less powerful that my old 4rd gen RAM with...

    Aux backup lights ideas/suggestions for my 5th gen

    And those large studs I see on your photos where you mounted your plate is the hitch mounting studs I assume? I just looked at my own Big Horn and I was to say that it's not really possible to mount anything on the bumper itself because of this black plastic trim/molding where I have the backup...

    Aux backup lights ideas/suggestions for my 5th gen

    I really like how small are your spot lights, they look very nice! I also assume that you simply screwed them to the bumper without any special brackets? The only negative side I see so far is that these lights are super-dupper-expensive at 175$ USD each (+shipping since I am in Canada)!! OMG!! o_O

    Aux backup lights ideas/suggestions for my 5th gen

    Hi, I am looking for some idea (position) for mounting aux backup lights on my truck. I already saw the licence plate LED light thread, but I am looking for something a bit more powerful. I have a 2019 Big Horn with the LED lightning package and the backup light are horrible and I live on a...

    How to properly jack up my 5th gen RAM (with floor jack) ?

    Please don't judge, but this is my first truck and I want to install my winter tires/rims soon and I am wondering where should I jack up my brand new 5th gen with a floor jack (I have the Torin 3T from Costco). According to the owner manual, for the rear end you have to jack up on the rear axle...

    Speaker wire colors

    Hi Rraplee, I am trying to do the same as I want to hook up HIGH-LEVEL inputs from my subwoofer amplifier to the rear door speaker, but I don't want to take apart rear door if possible, I would like to jump the speakers wires from the main harness going under the door steps to the rear door. The...

    Speaker wire colors

    Are you aware that a 2020 RAM 2500 is not a "true" 5th generation RAM, it's more like a 4th generation with a front facelift, as 99% of mechanical parts and body parts (doors, bed, cab) are identical to a 4th generation. Only some cosmetic things like front end and dash are new, it's not like a...

    Did a 4th Gen tonneau cover (tri-fold, short bed) fit a 5th Gen RAM 1500? Dealer say YES, manufacturer say NO!!

    Hey folks! I just received my Tyger Auto hard tri-fold aluminium cover with a specific PN# for the 5th gen RAM and this thing is totally amazing for the price. Obviously it's not as sleek as the BAKFlip G2 cover, but overall I pay 1000$ LESS (true!) than the BAKFlip G2 for this cover. It's still...
