    NAV the worst GPS ever? Serious routing issues

    Probably the biggest joke of the entire $67K truck. Old maps, and a childish interface. OTOH - Split screen in carplay with Google Maps is just fine - every time. Google maps uses "call homes" from every device using google (way to spy) to do live traffic - so the traffic is pretty accurate...

    Pre-Purchase Questions

    The AC seems to be the biggest complaint - I find it to be a subjective one (unless I simply got lucky). Im SoFla summer heat/humidity (110 heat index) it freezes me out and I have to turn it up (running on auto/low), passengers complain it's too cold. I remote start and run for 5-10 minutes...

    Air vs coil suspension

    I think the air rides smoother (seat of the pants observation) and I like being able to lower it to entry/exit to help me get in/out of the truck/bed. Also came in handy going into OR2 when I had to go up a friends rutted driveway in the NC mountains, kept me from bottoming out. Though in my...

    Why still no MDS Disable 3rd party device?

    Most of my driving is within a mile or two from home. I guess it's kind of like why I ride a motorcycle without a helmet. Moving at highway speeds (in heavy traffic) or in the rain - increases my likelihood of being in an accident. I've been in them both with and without belts. I (honestly)...

    Mopar Cat Back install question

    $100 is a very fair price. Use the clamps - makes it easier to adjust down the road - and easier to remove without cutting (if something down the road requires the exhaust to come out). My $.02 Rick

    Banks pedal monster infomercial

    Pedal Commander works fine for me - does what I need it to do. And I call BS on the "throw your pedal out the window in case the module fails". I can have it disconnected in under 30 seconds. The one thing another vendor told me about, as a possible danger (and any bluetooth configured...

    Why still no MDS Disable 3rd party device?

    Likewise my Honda had a button. But for all intents - the motor/generator and huge crank driven belt are going to do the job more efficiently. Not sure EPA fuel efficiency #'s had anything to do with the decision to leave the feature off non ET motors. I had no issues with my honda - but the...

    Made my own wireless charger

    One of the factory installed accessories I never use. Very touchy about how the phone is positioned (iPhone 11 Max with Mophie battery case) and puts the phone too far out of view. Plus - I HATE blue-toothing the phone - so it has the USB cable connected anyways (negating the need for wireless...

    Why still no MDS Disable 3rd party device?

    Because the motor generator on the ETourque IS what does the re-starts. Otherwise - the truck would use the REGULAR STARTER to do re-starts (adding extra wear and premature failure to the starter). I had stop start on my last car (Honda Pilot) and it was DAMN ANNOYING. I find it much less so...

    Middle Bumper Step with MF Tailgate

    It appears that the '21 BUG includes the step - which means the rest of us got ripped off. Somehow - nor surprised... Rick

    Keyless entry keypad

    Aside from the fact that it works SO INCONSISTENTLY - I wouldn't want to DEPEND ON IT. Rick

    Anyone who flys with DJI, find another shop!

    A drone from China with a backdoor security flaw? Say it ain't so. I consider ANYTHING that comes from China - to have security issues. Rick

    Middle Bumper Step with MF Tailgate

    82216265AB - is the part number. If you google search it - you'll probably find them OUT OF STOCK. The re-stocked dropped on Sept 1st - and got gobbled up pretty fast it seems. I paid $319 for mine - they're $395 MSRP. Sadly - we kind got screwed on this one. BUG (Bed Utility Group)...

    Prayers for POTUS

    This is an interesting observation - and likely close to fact (though I think the # that voice support versus the silent majority ratio is a little off). It's not just this president that "brings out the ugly" in people. This has been going on since way before '16 - and has been brewing for...

    Dashboard fit and finish problem?

    My entire leather dash is delaminating, along with the plastic part by the 12V port in the center. I'l get unlazy enough to get it to the dealer - let them open a STAR case - order the dashboard - find a tech that can replace it without destroying the rest of the interior - and find me a...

    Prayers for POTUS

    Exactly the type I was talking about. Yet another internet epidemiologist. Pray tell Mr. Expert - what YOU would have done - sooner/better? While you invited people downtown, or to ride the subways, or send C19+ people into nursing homes. He should have listened to his EXPERTS - wait - HE...

    Bed Divider

    Actually - RAM didn't "design" these. They are OEM'd by "Roll-N-Lock" - a rolling cover manufacturer. No - RamBox divider (that slides down into the "grooves" in the bedwalls) will not work. Try using them with the Multi-Function-Tailgate. I had to cut the bed divider rails down, so they...

    Prayers for POTUS

    This is bound to be a quirky conversation. Like the man or not - I cannot BELIEVE the number of "famous people" wishing death on the man. I didn't care for the previous POTUS - but I never wished him dead. The "social contract" of civil discourse in this country is DEAD - and it didn't just...
