    Replacing Occupant Restraint Controller

    Has anyone replaced and programmed an ORC (Occupant Restraint Controller) on a 2019+ DT Ram themselves? Is dealer programming required? Alldata indicates that the “Initialize ORC Miscellaneous Function” must be performed with a diagnostic scan tool after replacement. I do see an “Initialize ORC”...

    I’m looking for advice on the best way to handle HVAC blend door actuator calibration. What are my options? Is this something that’s easiest to have done at the dealer, or is there a scan tool or other equipment I can buy to perform the calibration myself? If I do end up buying a scan tool, I’d...

    Noisy Rear End

    Does anyone else notice a whining noise from their rear end? I noticed it when I switched from my more aggressive winter wheels to my summer 22's. It is more noticeable at lower speeds where road noise cannot drown it out.. After noticing it I changed my differential fluid. The level was...

    Hello from the Northeast!

    Yes, unfortunately it became too popular and a man drowned there a few years ago. It's patrolled often now. I could probably hike to it over the mountain from my house it if I wanted too. Sent from my SM-G981U1 using Tapatalk
