    Has anybody installed a Under-Hood Lamp kit?

    This was one of the disappointments I originally had with my Limited, which I love, but couldn't understand why they would discontinue it. I like the idea of two lights as I'd place one to directly shine on the dip stick.

    Has anybody installed a Under-Hood Lamp kit?

    My understanding is that they are not pre wired, my Limited doesn't have one either so I guess we should ask if there's a good 3rd party kit for this.

    Tail Gate Dropping

    In the Gen 4, every time a "Lock all" command is sent it causes all locking mechanisms to move into the lock position. That action actually results in some bounce back in the unlock direction. So as an example, every time your drive away if you have the truck lock your doors automatically...

    Tail Gate Dropping

    On the Gen 4 trucks we had a similar issue. The cause was a weak over travel tab in the tailgate lock mechanism that would bend or break and every time the locks were initiated or released there was a chance for the tailgate to drop. I once dumped my gun cart off the back of the truck (guns in...

    Scanguage 2 equivalent?

    I used the OBDII LX and a lot of folks use the MX. I don't like having it on my phone so I went with the Edge CTS 3. Yes, if you display the proper PIDs they all monitor Regen. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/edge-cts3-and-ecodiesel.24814/

    Scanguage 2 equivalent?

    There are no OBDII apps that work through Carplay as far as I know. Torque Pro does work on an Iphone.

    The dealer might see the lack of of the safety latch as a liability and just not want to kludge it.

    Adaptive headlights will now be allowed in the US

    I've had auto dimming lights for almost 7 years and I ever noticed them staying on too long. If anything the only thing I dont like about them is that they dic when traveling at slow speed like turning into a dark driveway when my eyes need the brights.

    Undercoating?

    It holds up great. Had it from day one on my 2015 and got it within a month of getting the 2020. With the wax undercoating I go in for a $99 touchup every 2 years and watch them squirt maybe 2 or three squirts as it doesn't seem to wear off. They use oil in the frame/rocker/hood etc. I cant...
