    Obd scanner options?

    Well for the price, I will try the AlphaOBD. I see on their compatability list they recommend using the OBDlink MX+. Would I also need the 12+8 security bypass harness as well? Their list does not mention it, just the OBDlink MX+.

    What QuickJack model are you using?

    Maybe get a tire lift. Just like using a pry bar to lift tire. Has rollers so you can spin the tire to align with wheel studs.

    2019 Ram 1500 hvac valve core leak, well maybe not.

    Going to call them tomorrow. As for the blend doors. I have another post here about the blend door actuators. They appear to be working. I honestly think it is the climate control module. Just have no way to test it.

If it puts out warm air, I can turn the temp setting all the way up. It will put out very hot air. Turn it down to low and the temp drops, but does not...
