Sounds like turning off passive entry is smart if there is anything of value in your truck.

No speculation necessary, all you have to do is watch this video all the way through to get it. Many versions of the same thing are out there but the result is the same. Why they can’t get the same info from Uconnect is the only question that puzzles me. FCA likely locks dealerships out of...

It is another kind of dealer-installed "theft recovery system" gps tracker. Anyone tracking it? It pushes data (location at a minimum) up to somewhere over cellular. Why? Who knows. Did you finance it with the dealer...

A good $8 insurance policy to have 6 open ended 14x1.5 nuts on board. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/cal-7540023/overview/ Or split with three friends for less than $5 each: https://www.amazon.com/WheelGuard-Finish-Open-end-M14x1-5-Thread/dp/B06XZGLL9V/ could be better and cheaper...

My step is installed, but I looked back at the UPS waybill and it was 13.1 lbs. Not sure what the step and hardware really weighs.

Adding a data point... On my Limited the spare is the aluminum wheel.

Yes, thanks for this info. You'd think some day they would design this (and the oil filter) for a quick, disassembly-free, hassle-free filter change out.

I de-badged my Peragon cover today. Very quick and simple to do as there were only a couple of really sticky badges and a label. I like the look of no-advertisements and logos on the cover. I wanted a non-black cover as I put stuff in the bed I'd rather not bake in the Texas heat. I figure...

While no one asked for my opinion, IMO :) Invoice price is a nonsense number to be negotiating from as magically over the last 20 years the spread between invoice and MSRP has closed by half, thanks to the internet making the number common knowledge. Invoice price is a marketing number dealers...

I'd guess you are ok with this step and the back-up sensors. I originally tried a fairly big hitch step that interfered (Rhino Dominator) and it is was obvious why... it was huge. I tried a couple of smaller versions to check the sensor issue (Bully, Smittybilt) and those caused no problem...

Yep, Uconnect provides info up to (presumably FCA) on your mileage. And Uconnect also provides you, the owner, with location information through the Uconnect smartphone app. So why does the dealer need to install his own GPS tracker with his own tracking app? Covering the costs of his own...

First of all (as in my case) the dealer would have installed/sold some sort of “theft recovery” add-on. Typically among any other local dealer add-on accessories. GPS trackers attach to the OBD-II port under the dash visible at the bottom of the lower panel under the steering wheel. In my...

@CornTrucks, my dealer did not want to remove it either and got to my price then still imbedding the charge net for this "Theft Recovery System" (GPS Tracker). It is only an OBD tracker providing location mainly and battery voltage, with the system in the cloud connecting the dots for trips and...

I guess I'll never get one because the GPS tracker is sitting on my desk. The desk gets no mileage and uses no oil. :)

I did and it did. We'll have to see what happens in the end. The whole scheme of dealers installing GPS tracking devices and then selling them on to unsuspecting owners with open-ended access back to the dealers seems to be an accident waiting to happen.

In another thread I had much better MPG in a recent test/trip. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/2019-ram-1500-hemi-v8-gets-a-significant-bump-in-mpg-from-the-hybrid-according-to-the-epa-news.1326/post-52300

This is true. Vehicle rust is not a typical problem here - unless you douse them regularly with sea water.

Weather permitted installation of the Peragon bed cover. I was pleasantly surprised how solid/beefy it is.

NIce. Rivnuts = excellent!
