    Beginning to HATE my Multi-Function Tailgate - MOPAR Bed Divider DOES NOT WORK!!!

    5'7" - still using. No cover is perfect - I mainly see it going through the car wash (where you'd really expect to see it). I moved it forward about 1/2" and it got a little better. Never contacted the vendor. Rick

    Hitch drop.

    Hitch height is measure at THE TOP OF THE BALL. My trailer required(s) a 17" high ball. Ran just fine on my Honda Pilot with a ball at receiver height - needed a 6" DROP for my 1500. You might not require such a drastic one coming from a Colorado. You still have your draw bar? One way to...

    tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

    Call Extang - I believe the last conversation I had with them - they said the 2.0 WOULD WORK - that was a couple of weeks ago. They: A - May not have updated the website or B - Shipped a few and found they actually didn't fit correctly. Rick

    Who Switched?

    I've had Suburans, Yukons, etc. - never a fullsized Pickup, being an SUV guy myself. Last 2 were Honda Pilot Tourings ('12 & '16) - each I traded when I came up on 100K (and the extended warranty was almost up). Could have bought ANYTHING I WANTED. And I literally DROVE EVERY PICKUP AND SUV...

    Tried the Meguiar's Hybrid Ceramic Wax for the first time

    You do any surface prep prior to applying (claybar/etc)? I bought a couple of bottles of NexGen - but it already needs a clay bar & I'm too lazy to do it - especially now in SoFla where it's already 90 degrees... LOL Rick

    tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

    Yeah - I see this as an issue too. There are a number of covers that use CLAMPS to the bed lip (like the Gator Hybrid and Extang Solid Fold 2.0) - but the lay OVER the top of the bed cap - instead of FLUSH (like the ones with the rails do). Pretty sure from the looks of things - that the...

    Headers and a Cam?

    You guys make me wish I hadn't bought the 7 year/unlimited miles Chrysler warranty. OTOH - keeps me from dinging my wallet... Still jealous. But I DO have a 11PSI Rotrex Blower in my Slingshot - getting ready to do Cams. 350RWHP/17,000 lbs. THAT is HP:Weight... Rick

    Oil Change indicator Interval - chan it be changed?

    I do every 5-6K AT MOST - running either M1 Extended Wear or Pennz Platinum (when Wally World is out of the 5qt jugs of M1-E). With the M1-E, you are "supposed to" be able to get 15K with their filters. I wouldn't even attempt that. Most of my driving is stop-n-go, I idle a lot. I get...

    N0GL Software Update Thread

    Hate to be a downer here - but if the maps are still 2017 - who cares about online search? I think I may have "looked at" the factory NAV ONCE (hit the button BY ACCIDENT). Android or Apple Carplay - Google Maps (satellite view) on top, Music on bottom. Google maps uses GOOGLE for voice...

    Spooked a little by so many complaints here!

    ^^^^^^ I was just talking to my service writer about this the other day (dead battery/air suspension compressor run-on issue). You don't see the 1,000's of folks with no issues come onto internet forums to chime in on how trouble free their trucks are. Otherwise, we'd likely see nothing else...

    What do I do to remove this damn govener?

    Keep in mind - the dealer/FCA can see if he PCM was unlocked - and how many times it's been flashed. WAY BETTER OFF getting a new unlocked PCM and swapping it in (for warranty purposes). Don't give FCA any reason to deny a claim (and an unlocked PCM is a valid reason). And I have an FCA...

    Just swapped out my dash speakers for Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx....WOO_HOO!!

    Check the connectors on the PEDAL COMMANDER BEFORE YOU INSTALL IT. Mine had a "crushed pin" on the connector that goes to the pedal. It pushed the pedal pin in (thought it broke it) and I went to a stealership and got robbed for a new pedal (on a Saturday). You can plug the connectors on the...

    Just swapped out my dash speakers for Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx....WOO_HOO!!

    Nice post - did the speaker connection adapters COME WITH the speakers, or did you have to chop & crimp the factory ones (HATE chopping the factory stuff)? Rick

    Just swapped out my dash speakers for Infinity Reference REF-3032cfx....WOO_HOO!!

    I'm still laying back on audio upgrades. I have around $5K worth of Focal & Moscone I pulled out of my last truck. To get the system where I WOULD WANT IT - would cost me all my rear underseat storage, another $1K in hardware, and around $1,500 in install and fabrication. While I KNOW FOR...

    tonneau covers that work with the multifunction tailgate?

    I'm watching this myself. I have the Gator Hybrid right now. Wasn't the one I REALLY WANT - but it works in the interim until Bak (MX4) or Extang (encore) come out with a viable option. Personally, I prefer the MX4, as it is a little lower profile. These brackets look good - but the rail for...

    How to preserve that new car smell as long as possible

    Don't smoke in it... LOL I'm a smoker (almost a chain smoker), and I haven't smoked in my truck yet. I have nicorette gum for long trips - otherwise, I stop and get out to smoke. 7K+ miles - still smells brand new... Rick

    Lets see those garages!

    Panamoramic view - It's bigger than it looks - 20X40 (800 sq ft). Might as well add some more of my shop space - gun side of my office... Computer side.

    FCA Releases Details On Its New Uconnect 5 Infotainment System:

    2021? So that means it will come with 2019 maps that they never update? Rick

    What Ramps (for oil changes) are you using?

    I'm spilt - gots me one of these. Actually - I can't get the truck to swing in and get on it. I just go to a friends shop and use his drive on alignment lift. LOL Rick

    Rear Seat Covers (and door cover) For LARGE DOGS?

    Thanks for the tip... The hammock model is 58" wide (seat width) and 68" long (headrest to headrest) - which is about 4-6" to narrow to cover the whole seat. Current seat cover from the Pilot - with the side flaps, it covers the whole bottom - but falls short on the sides. The door covers...
