    Sirius Guardian stopped working

    It’s Sirius Guardian ready now (as represented by all of your build sheets, VIN, and vehicle documentation); unless you plan to resubscribe to demonstrate it, then it should not affect the future sale.

    New build, issues with fuel tank size

    I don't even think you can get a 23 gallon tank in a non-etorque; I think what's happening is that the standard tank is 26 gallon, so when you select the 26 gallon as an add-on option it forces you to select etorque. Sounds like a glitch as others have said, and it should not be displaying the...

    Full throttle

    As SpeedyV states, don't beat or abuse it, but vary the throttle input throughout the break in to set the engine correctly. Don't maintain full throttle with a heavy load, but definitely surge it every now and then. When on the highway, don't maintain a constant low throttle input; let off to...

    Which would be more beneficial for towing a travel trailer?

    15% tongue weight is an ancient standard. The new standard has been 10% for a long time now, giving an extra 375 lbs in your example.

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I bet a large part of it is to make that center latching system able to handle the rated weight of 2000 lbs.

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    Interesting, I wonder what "Special Scheduling Condition VII" and "Priority Tracking" are, if they are in fact part of the Level 2 package.

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I imagine it will act much like the cab doors, since their is no motor to swing them open. Gravity is what allows it to swing down remotely.

    2019 Ram 1500 have diesel available?

    Keep in mind that the old ecodiesels tricked emissions, contributing to great mileage. The new ecodiesels may be stuck with worse mileage and performance from the factory to meet emissions, though if you can get a tune that mimics what is needed to trick emissions you may get both back (but...

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I’m curious how much wieght these have over a normal tailgate (and thus how much payload you lose); I would love to get the numbers early and not make us play the “compare door sticker” game

    Ram Introduces New Multi-function Tailgate In Chicago:

    I bet there is an asterisk on that rating, with a requirement of the weight spread evenly over the whole tailgate. The center/top edge itself is probably rated much lower, more like 600 lbs, with additional weight needing to be shifted to the back or sides.

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    The Sport is Canadian only; did you purchase in Canada? Canadian packages and prices are different then US. Edit: Ok, looking at the level 1 package, it seems like the biggest difference is the radio, which seems odd; I guess since the level 2 overrides the level one instead of requiring, they...

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    Here is the Level 2 Laramie equipment listing, with the items most likely needed for the ASG (due to sensors and computer processing) underlined: 19-Speaker Harman Kardon® Premium Sound Automatic High Beam Headlamp Control (Front-facing sensor) Blind-Spot with Cross-Path Detection (lower...

    Lift, Lane Sense and Surround View

    I just checked, and the builder website allows lanesense with the tow mirrors. The tow mirrors do not have cameras, and does not allow surround view.

    Lvl 2 equipment group and advanced safety group

    ASG is dependent on a large chunk of the stuff in the Lvl 2 equipment group; it needs a heftier computer and a ton of sensors to work. You would still end up paying for 75% of the Lvl 2 group just to get the dependent features, though an argument could be made for the remaining 25% of the cost...

    Lift, Lane Sense and Surround View

    ACC uses sensors (ultrasonic?) in the windshield (the box behind your mirror) that look forward instead of at the ground, and likely why they are less affected by the lift. Forward collision, front and rear parking, and lanesense use sensors (not the surround cameras) in/around the bumpers that...

    Privacy - how to disable GPS reporting, monitoring?

    Many would-be thieves are listening intently to this thread for a simple way to bypass theft deterrence.

    Auto Headlights Too Sensitive

    OP is turning the in-cab dimmer switch up; that's the problem, when it is up it is then too bright for night and OP needs to turn it back down again, which is then too dim for overcast conditions.

    Auto Headlights Too Sensitive

    Best thing to do on those days is to switch from "Auto" to "Off" in the headlight buttons/knob, then switch back to "Auto" at night to turn them back on.

    Extended warranty from FCA

    If it is the same price whether you buy it on day 1 with 10 miles, day 400 with 35,000 miles, or day 1000 with 25,000 miles, then what is the benefit of buying early besides rolling into your financing? seems like it is always best to wait until right before factory warranty expires, just in...

    SUPERCHARGER & ETORQUE

    What about combining an e-torque with an electric supercharger, and getting the advantages only available to both?
