    PR40.1 Update File?

    I was able to go from 32.4 to 40.1. I thought 40.1 only changed Uconnect. I was surprised that it also changed my EVIC. Speedo figures are in a different, thicker font. Avg and Current MPG numbers are larger. These are were most prominent changes, there may be other changes as well. Does...

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Here's the OBDLink tech reply: "Better" is subject to one's preferences, but many users generally report success using OBDLink EX over OBDLink MX+ due to: A wired connection over USB (and therefore faster data transfer rates) 24v compatibility over OBDLink MX+'s 12v compatibility Low-cost...

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Thanks for the great advice. Have done all of your advice. Your best key part, which the OBDLink tech never mentioned is: You can't have 2 apps using the same sensor at the same or near time. If I connect with Torque (another app) and then try to use Alfaobd it doesn't connect. Finally got it...

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Thanks Interesting. I wonder if it performs better when using a PC than their MX style. I have asked the OBDLink tech that question.

    I also have Alpha on my computer. Will try with the computer, it may make a difference. What is a wired OBDLink?

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Thanks for confirming. I can rule that out as a potential problem. Been email dialoguing with OBDLink for over a day. Been answering their myriad of questions and trying their suggestions but nothing is working. The OBDLink tech says, "It is the responsibility of the app/software you use to...

    Which Fumoto?

    I have a Fumoto w/Nipple . Putting a piece of tubbing on/off the nipple to drain into an old outboard motor fuel tank is easy peasy

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    I just loaded 40.1 on my 12.1" screen and now the OBDLink app can still connect to the OBDLink MX, but the OBDLink MX cannot connect to the vehicle. The OBDLink MX will pair in Bluetooth but will not connect. Never had this problem before. Does my MX not work with 40.1? Does it require the...

    Need another switched fuse location...NOT F33 or F66

    That's the proper way but as ProjectMostion said, you don't need it for those low draw items

    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    I've never had a reset with any flash or recall. The only time I had a reset was when the dealer was troubleshooting an EVIC light problem and they reset the ECU to my VIN number, it went back to the original settings.

    Are tire chains allowed on my vehicle?

    I purchased for both axles for "maximum insurance". They'll fit on both my 2016 Eco and my 2020 3500 where they are stored. Hope I never need to use them

    Are tire chains allowed on my vehicle?

    Here's what you missed about where they are approved Autosocks approvals. WRONG, don't need your lecture! I don't need to rethink my tires or how I drive. Been driving for 75 years, never had snow, icy or wet conditions mishap. I am very safety conscious and always have appropriate tires...

    Are tire chains allowed on my vehicle?

    Apparently, you did not read about them on the link I posted. Apparently, you haven't been on any icy roads where if you didn't have the fronts chained you had no control. If I have to "chain up" I want all the security/control I can get.

    Are tire chains allowed on my vehicle?

    Class S are cable type chains. I have a set for my Eco. They do fit with abput an inch or less clearance from the brake line. If the chain were to break, which happens frequently, I'm afraid it would take out the brakes. Thus my S type are on Craigs List and I have the Autosocks.

    Are tire chains allowed on my vehicle?

    I experimented with various tire chains and cables only to find that stock Rams are unsuitable for chains, plus the "chain rears only" was unacceptable. I solved the tire chain problems with Wildpeak snow rated tires and carry Autosocks in lieu of chains

    Does the Max Care ESP warranty cover stock LEDs

    Mopar Vehicle Protection is a subsidiary of Stellantis, not part of Ram. I don't believe Ram Care can speak for MVP. You should talk with a Mopar Vehicle Protection specialist on 800-521-9922

    Catch Can for the ecoDiesel without throwing codes?

    Thanks for your post. I have been on the fence regarding a catch can on my Eco. I've read that "The Ecodiesel has a high-efficiency centrifugal air/oil separator built in." If that's all you got in 1800 miles it confirms what I've read. So, for me, no Catch can is needed. Thanks - much...

    Seems like you discovered Mopar is not a sham.

    Does the Max Care ESP warranty cover stock LEDs

    Saying, "What’s the point of an ESP warranty when a $900 LED housing won’t be covered which is not even a wear item?" sounded like a complaint, sorry if I misspoke.

    Does the Max Care ESP warranty cover stock LEDs

    Like most of these types of complaing posts, there's more to the story. I wonder what more there is? Like what was the failure? Why the failure? The reason for denial? etc. The Maxcare is bumper to bumper coverage, gotta be more to the story. Condor, 1 call to Mopar would get the correct...
