    Front Driver’s Side Limited Headlight Halo (?) Not Lighting Up

    Unfortunately I think the issue is the led strip inside the headlight. They are a sealed unit so the only option is to replace the headlight. One note, the midline trim headlights used on Laramie do have aftermarket led replacements, but the disassembly is not a trivial process. For our highline...

    I almost forgot, to use AlfaObd, one needs a security gateway module bypass, I use the Chrysler 12+8 patch cable which is temporary, there are other wire harness options that can be left in place permanently, its all in the forum.

    My new to me 2022 Ram 1500 Limited

    Yes, nice truck and welcome to the forum. Things that you might consider; purchase AlfaObd software, a wireless Obd2 dongle (I have the obd link Mx+) look up AlfaObd in the forum for all you can do. My signature shows what I have done so far with AlfaObd. What I want to do as of yet: Add keyless...

    Exhaust manifold recall

    2019 Laramie Longhorn at 118k miles, drivers side is leaking. I bought the truck at 75k so I don't know if the manifold(s) were changed previously. I recently began parking outside, I wonder if the colder startup temperatures could contribute to more stress on the studs. Taking the truck into...

    Blind spot alert unavailable

    Visually inspect the harness and the BSM, the module may be water damaged. Scheduling an appointment with Ram or another mechanic is in order; at least you can get the problem to repeat itself.

    Blind spot alert unavailable

    .. or a damaged right blind spot monitor. Carefully inspect the harness and the blind spot monitor. The blind spot monitor may be water damaged which cannot be seen. If nothing is seen, you may have to schedule an appointment at the local Ram dealership, or an independent mechanic to...

    Blind spot alert unavailable

    A damaged connection either at the harness or the passenger blind spot sensor may be disrupting the Canbus. Other devices on this network that may be affected are: Audio amplifier Central Vision Processing module Comfort seat module Comfort wheel module Connected media center module Display...

    Blind spot alert unavailable

    This problem is not unique to Ram, there's a ford tech on y-t that had a F150 platinum with the same issue, truck almost undrivable, leaky taillights damaged proximity sensors, and damaged wiring harnesses.. if I remember the bill was around $7k. Catching the leak early is the key to preventing...

    First Dodge (Ram) - oil change question

    I am using the Napa Platinum filter (PFL47899), same as used on my 2011 Durango 5.7l. In my local area, the newer style smaller filter for the 5th gen 5.7 is not readily available. The larger diameter oil filter fits fine. A messy oil filter change out is a smaller price to pay for higher hot...

    AlfaOBD

    That's exactly what I have, you unplug two connectors from the bottom of the security gateway module and plug them into the matching plug on the 8+12 cable. Then plug in the dongle. Note: you can connect with dongle in acc. but you will not be able to read anything unless the ignition is in run..

    Alfaobd won't program engine hours.

    I remember a post, I think it was on the AlfaObd web page somewhere.. Best results at changing EVIC cluster idle and run hours was best performed with a cabled OBD2 adapter. The issue may be the latency of a wireless link over that of a hard wired connection. Obdlink makes two cabled adapters...

    New 2023 Longhorn but not new to Rams

    I agree with you about the Longhorn grille, to me its toothy and overwhelms the rest of the front end. I have thought about swapping the Longhorn with the Limited grille, much less chrome and it is a drop in installation with the rest of the Longhorn front end. And like you, I chose the...

    Aftermarket manifold??

    Installing anything other than cast iron manifolds will require an exhaust wrap to minimize heat buildup in the engine compartment. In addition to the manifolds and downpipes, tubular headers optimally will require a tune so add that to the conversion cost. As listed above, BD Diesel does makes...

    Hellcat Oil Pump Install

    So without a tune, a hellcat pump install should include the lower psi pressure regulator spring out of the original oil pump to mitigate pressure errors. The hellcat pump is for increasing the oil volume at idle.

    HK radio and door speaker upgrade

    My understanding is that the door speakers front and rear in the H/K system are mid-bass only, the outputs from the head unit are rolled off at 300hz, so adding coaxials will not be as much of an improvement. Speakers are 4 ohm impedance Check out this older thread, lots of good information...

    Demand For Electric Pickup Trucks Continue To Decline

    Range anxiety: There's more energy contained in a tank of fuel, vs. a battery array with its environmental controls. With the limited energy contained in a fully charged battery array, also consider the losses in converting that energy into mechanical energy. You have a two fold conversion from...
