    Speedometer calibration

    Your dealer should have the tool to perform the needed pinion factor change assuming they have the latest software for their scan tool. Last time I used this, you are asked to select the tire numbers from a list of tires. The scan tool then calculates new factor and writes it back to the...

    ECO

    Others have noticed similar findings. Once the light has been activated. I think it is just a matter of being patient and allow the drivetrain to learn as it gets broke in. Maybe another 1500 to 2000 miles.

    Hey from Minnesota

    Hi from Owatonna, MN. Hopefully will have my black 2019 Limited by the end of the month. I ordered it May and it is being shipped this week. I'm sure you will enjoy yours.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    So it sounds like no one else can duplicate the link navigation needed to get to the coupon view that I found... My first step was to enter the drawing. 2nd step was to view the 1500 trucks. 3rd step was to view discounts When I viewed the information, I always went to the bottom of each...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    My coupon appeared before I left the link. It appears and allows you to print it directly from the site. I don't recall if it was the Sirius site or the ram truck site they link you to to show new 1500's after entering the contest. I know the coupon is for the 2019 limited, because they ask you...

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    You have to enter your zip code and I believe the value is based upon the area of the us you are in. I live in Minnesota. I Wont chear too much till I write the final check and see the 1500 applied to the total.

    Price negotiated from MSRP

    I followed the link and enrolled in the contest and viewed the ram 1500 models and checked the incentive offer for my zip code region and got a $1500 coupon with code that I could print off. Too good to be true? Offer expires 10-1 My truck just went to KZ status today. Any bets on me seeing...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    My Black Limited has finally gone KZ today. I also noticed I could access my 'build sheet' using the link provided by the forum a few months ago. In reviewing my build sheet, I saw a line item on the last page 'D1-To-D Regress'. Wow, don't recall ordering that... Don't know for sure, but I...

    Half the volumn

    I believe a software fix COULD be a possible solution. Not saying it can't be hardware, but without knowing the exact cause of the problem, I would not rule out a SW fix. I will be taking ownership of a new Limited soon and I will be expecting to have my 19 speaker system produce volume louder...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Looking at the google spreadsheet for the last several days, I noticed the orders of July 2nd had moved to D1. My re-ordered Silver Limited was placed on that date. I stopped at my dealer today and he checked and sure enough, Silver limited is now D1 along with the others. Ship date was...

    Wattage for USBC?

    Wow, learned something. I see the Ram sales booklet says on one page they use USB ports with 2.5A for the UConnect. But on another page they say two sets of USB /Type C USB ports enabling charging up to 4 times faster than standard USB outlets. Type C also can supply a max data rate of 10...

    Wattage for USBC?

    You are correct in your definition of how to calculate power, however I doubt you have 20 volts at the connector, so i would doubt 100 watts of electrical power capacity. I may have misunderstood the original question, but if you are talking about a USB port, I think these are 5 volt that may be...

    Anyone hacked their Uconnect...?

    I might start by looking at the wiring harness diagrams for single and 360 systems. The systems that are not 360 may have unused inputs that give you clean access to the hardware of the center console. Software would then be one way (more complex however) to toggle the add-on camera. An old...

    Anyone hacked their Uconnect...?

    I would be very careful (better to say Avoid) any attempt to write data back to a controller's memory. This could turn it to a 'brick'. There are datagrabbers available to capture sending messages to car and reverse engineering doing this overs the diagnostic bus, but I don't know what you had...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Just stopped by my dealer on way home from work today. Dealer said no change, he checked earlier today. I told him lets check again. My Black eTorque w/Rambox went from D to D1 during the day today! Over the 100 day wait, but at least some movement. Oddly the ship date is still 6/13, but at...

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    Hmmm... looks like the goggle spreadsheet got messed up. My name got moved down on my first order and up on second 'silver' order. I assume this affects others as well. Any backups available?

    New big screen is a POS

    Just to be clear, software changes can fix defective software and can on occasion cover up some hardware issues, but let's hope there are no significant hardware flaws because to fix them, parts need to be replaced. Either way, I believe FCA will stand behind their product.

    Rambox/E-torque order tracking

    I'm at day 100 today with the Black Limited. I'm hoping this is the week we advance beyond the 'D' status. Like everyone, I'm excited and hopeful the long wait will translate into better quality and fewer issues in the end. Of all the issues posted, I sure hope I never have to experience the...
