    Carven, Etorq, No Fitment, Bad Cust Service

    Since the eTorque is standard on the V6, one could the take conversation to think that perhaps they felt you had a V6?? In the end, I didn't see the conversation as rude as much as typical automotive add on vendor service. That being said, based on the responses, I think they sent you a...

    CarPlay minimum volume with mapping

    I found a workaround for now. Google maps has a "softer" setting. You have to be careful because if you take the phone to another car for navigation, it may not be loud enough. I have a strange feeling they did this on purpose and thought it was a good idea. To make sure you didn't miss an...

    Surround view camera usefullness? (How do you use yours?)

    All of the above. Forward Parking all the time. Parallel parking. Gets the vehicle perfectly in the spot. Pulling into garage on an angle. Negotiating driveway when turning to avoid obstacles. I could drive without it but it just makes it so much easier and less stressful. Biggest gripe: huge...

    Does the entire WD Hitch count against capacity

    @Zeronet Your responses have been very helpful to get me to think about this a different way. Hopefully it is the right way. The tongue weight on the hitch isn't really my concern. Yes, the hitch has a certain limit but I am not going to get anywhere near that. My concern is keeping the gross...

    AFe power cold air intake install

    I had problems with the gasket and the temp sensor fitting. WIthout those, it would have been a half hour. I was really surprised the force it took to turn the temp sensor and then a little plastic tab smaller than a tick went flying. It does sound pretty good. I suspect I will get less mileage...

    AFe power cold air intake install

    It took me an hour not including prep and cleanup. A few tips for others not in the instructions. The fitting that goes in the grommet for the temp sensor won't go in without some lubrication. When you remove the temp sensor from the stock tube you do need to twist with some force to get past...

    AFe power cold air intake install

    How long did your install take? Seems like an hour after prep.

    Does the entire WD Hitch count against capacity

    Thank you. This was very helpful. Per this, even though the WD Hitch does distribute the weight more evenly to solve per axle limits, the entire tongue weight of the trailer still counts against the tow vehicle gross weight. aka, no silver bullet for me. But this did help me realize I need a...

    Does the entire WD Hitch count against capacity

    Thank you. From starting to read the posts on this Towing sub-forum, you seem to know this topic well. Your comment that a WD hitch distributes some of the trailer weight back to the axles of the trailer is the biggest controversy on this topic. I have seen information that says that means that...

    Does Gas count against capacity limit

    I had actually thought about that. I got them because it seemed some cheap protection not understanding this payload mess. I am not taking this thing off road. It is too nice and the 22s just don't make it that kind of truck. This post...

    Does Gas count against capacity limit

    Thank you so much for this. It backs up the answer with published data from RAM. Full tank of full is already deducted when the payload number is published. What I also found interesting is that Payload is an estimate. So I just need to take it to a scale and do the math myself to figure out the...

    Does the entire WD Hitch count against capacity

    I am one of those people who didn't understand capacity when I bought my truck. I got so many nifty options, my payload is down to 1240 and I am now trying to get every bit I can figuring out what I can get for a trailer. I would also ask that you don't respond saying "don't worry about it"...

    Considering the Start/Stop time when looking at MPG

    An idling vehicle lowers mpg. One that is shut off does not. So In a weird way the OP is correct. The MPG does not account for time in start stop. Don’t think of it that way. If you did not have that feature your MPG would be lower. In theory. I wonder how much the 90 lb battery pack and...

    Add-A-Fuse

    I used https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D9K4K2T/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 for a dash cam hardwire. I can’t remember which fuse but I found the info on this forum. I remember it was in the lower right corner. I will say it was very tight because it barely fit within the...

    aFe Cold Air Intakes

    I have always wondered the logic that said that increased air consumption meant more mpg. I am not an automotive engineer but it seems like the computer would always match the right amount of fuel for whatever amount of air was coming in. So if anything you might have to press on the pedal a...

    aFe Cold Air Intakes

    Thats some BS. They took my order and didn't say anything about waiting a month. If I understood emojis I would have a bunch of angry ones throwing things. Are they sending you the gray one for free and then sending the blue one once it is in stock? Did you order direct from aFe?

    Newbie Missing iPod. Anyone with huge music libraries?

    Im wondering if you are going to have to convert all the music from your iPOD from ACC to MP3 to get this to work.

    aFe Cold Air Intakes

    I am really hoping this lives up the comments and improves the sound noticeably because that is the main reason I ordered one. Extra MPG is just a bonus. I was seriously considering a new exhaust but really didn't want to mess around with that and did not want it louder at cold start or...
