    Whats up with the forum "view more" button?

    whats wrong with it is that it is hot crap. Yes clearing browser cache temporarily resets the problem. It still comes back and sucks just as hard later. I have watched it happen on three different computers (work laptop, personal laptop, personal desktop). One of the workarounds is to take the...

    My very important opinion, also, get a pedal commander

    So what I am hearing is you gave a birthing hips woman a bump of meth and are hanging on for the ride? This is precisely why I don't have the PC. My wife learned to drive in NASCAR. The last thing I need to do is make my truck super fun for her and end up driving her econobox.

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Cleaned, connected a new bluetooth obd, and enabled my CHMSL camera input for later projects.

    AlfaOBD

    I turned on my CHMSL option today. YAY! next up is the bed lighting kit. After bed lighting I get into the heavy dig of installing a 360 cam dvr/dashcam and driving the output of that to the CHMSL input so I don't have to have a second screen. My ultimate plan is to take the DVR output, drive...

    Sensitive parking sensors

    Today my overprotective park sensors emergency braked on me while pulling into a parallel parking spot. There were no cars behind me, but the 6 inch curb was triggering the braking. I just tell passengers to get out before I park the truck in a lot these days. less total distraction, and if...

    problem solved with MX+ right away. for sale - free , local pickup only - ELM327 bluetooth obd2 scanner. I'll leave it at the curb, don't bother to knock, just take it.

    Anyone having creaking or clicking sounds when turning left?

    Chase the lemon law. After the dealership fails to address the issue enough times during the warranty period, it gets kicked up to FCA for a last chance repair before they buy it back from you (in fl thats the rule, different state by state). Instead of this being something you need to live...

    Oil Type & Filter

    just... damn. if we are gonna go down that low in quality just save yourself some time and put in a full time filter bypass. after seeing the first few fram filter teardowns it became obvious that they are the bottom of the market.

    "GiegerRam"?

    Dissapointed. Was hoping for either a post nuclear wasteland overland bug out rig, or a chest bursting xenomorph themed kit. I mean, yeah sure, the dealer's last name is gieger. I didn't actually see anything other than some shadetree kitbanging of tires and lights.

    power outlet placement wish

    theres a 12v line right up in the headliner near the rear view mirror assembly for many of us. Folks have tapped into that circuit for dashcams without snaking all the way back to the fusebox.

    Anyone having creaking or clicking sounds when turning left?

    nope, single hard thump/click/clunk when making a turn that shifted the loading. i.e. left turn to right turn, noise. right turn to right turn, no noise. left turn to left turn, no noise. right turn to left turn noise. the fault is that the body mounts themselves are installed incorrectly or...

    phone holder for the "Ram"

    not bad at all. not something that I would use in mine, but it beats the hell out of the universal vent mount setups.

    Anyone having creaking or clicking sounds when turning left?

    single click/crak/clunk? there's a body mount TSB that fixes that in the warranty section. I had to have it done.

    Do options lower towing capacity or just GCWR?

    Always go with the lower number. this is a situation where being conservative in your loading can save your truck and your life.

    Do options lower towing capacity or just GCWR?

    Everything in motion needs to be borne as mass that is either being put into or take out of motion by the driveline and brakes. Cruising on flat land with a well balanced trailer is pretty damed easy (see space shuttle tow). Things really fall apart on inclines where the transmission is...

    Did I make the right choice????

    My personal experience, I believe a roll of toilet paper more valuable than a extended warranty locking me into more FCA service centers. I am actively working towards more self diagnostics and a warranty that doesn't lock me into FCA for warranty work due to my awful experiences to date. I am...

    2020 Ram RPM increasing lurching when braking

    the engineer for etorque did a video on this. when braking, on the downshift the transmission normally dumps the excess energy from the engine to the torque converter as spin/heat. in Etoruqe, the transmission / torque converter doesn't take that energy, but it is instead dumped to the etorque...

    Alfaobd greyed out buttons.

    I took the plunge and bought alfaobd, a SGW bypass and an ELM327 bluetooth adapter for my DT. no matter what I have tried so far, I can't get alfa to actually take the buttons out of the greyed out mode like it is read only. This means no diagnostic procedures, no fetching information, and no...

    Did I make the right choice????

    meh, it's a roll of the dice. if you get a ram that is made on a day where the factory workers are awake, you are going to be sitting comfy and happy. others..... did not pass the initial quality bar we were hoping for.
