    “115v Cargo Power Outlet On” Error Message stays on.

    This happened to me today after I forgot to re connect my 8+12 pin connectors back into the security module after using AlphaOBD w/ a security bypass cable. My cluster kept flashing 115v outlet on, and even if I cycled the menu away from it, it would immediately bring it right back. after...

    Automatic headlamp behavior

    yeah its up on the dash in the Ram, but my dash never has anything on it, no masks, hats, cats or dogs blocking the sensor, so I guess its likely to be a bad sensor.

    2019 ram rebel leveling kit issue.

    With a 3 inch level, your full droop is now 3 inches lower than it was before the spacer was installed, if you haven't upgraded your UCAs you are probably running out of articulation in the balljoint before you hit full droop. You wont hit the spring, but that's not a good thing because the...

    Automatic headlamp behavior

    Hey everyone, I'm hoping I can get some feedback on what's going on with my truck's headlights. In auto, the low beams are always on with the screen dimmed, and the low beam indicators lit up in the dash cluster...etc It is behaving as if it's night time, all the time, even at high noon with...

    Very dimly lit dash panel

    I found a setting in alphaobd that may help with this. Auto Headlamp ON Threshold: 3.33 V Auto Headlamp OFF Threshold: 2.53 V I'm gathering from this that he brighter the light on the sensor, the lower it's output voltage to the BCM. So by increasing the ON threshold, the auto headlights...

    Very dimly lit dash panel

    2021 and this is still a problem. Either it's too dim for the daytime brightness, so you scroll the brightness wheel past the click, and then it stays too bright for night time driving. This completely defeats the purpose of tying the interior lights to the auto headlights sensor. This would be...

    Bilstein 5100 vs spacer level

    so what's the consensus on UCA replacement? If i get bilstein 5100s that would still affect the angle, at what point do you have to change the control arms?

    Uconnect Experience Feedback

    What happened voice to text functionality that was present on older uconnect systems? Seems strange to have lost functionality with my new truck.

    Naviks video in motion

    Does anyone have this module, and if you do, do you have the instruction manual? Mine came with absolutely no documentation, and I have tried to contact the company with no response. If anyone has the instruction manual, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Squeaking front left suspension. Sounds like a chirping bird.

    the noise went away on its own, im guessing this is the kind of thing that comes and goes and never gets solved. worst case scenario, wd40 every couple months.

    Squeaking front left suspension. Sounds like a chirping bird.

    Every bump? It's a pretty constant rattle/squeak. Anything that can be done about it?

    Squeaking front left suspension. Sounds like a chirping bird.

    2021 bighorn with 1000km on it. Front suspension squeaks on small bumps, but not big ones. Rolling down the window it sounds like a chirping bird, or a squeaky old trailer. Its obvioisly still in warranty, and I know I can get the dealer to fix it, but its always a disaster trying to get the...

    Interesting notes on fuel economy

    My first tank was 89 octane, averaged 17.7mpg, and My 2nd tank was 87 octane, averaged 18.5 mpg. I can only guess that I'm getting used to how the truck drives, it's breaking in, and temperatures are warming up. I'm using cruise control a lot. It seems cruise is better than my foot for mpg on...

    Interesting notes on fuel economy

    Mine normally kicks in at those speeds, even a bit above that using cruise control. Without using cruise, It doesnt turn on, my foot being an extra variable.

    Interesting notes on fuel economy

    I just started to drive my new 2021 bighorn, and since it's new and I've never owned a V8 before, I've been paying close attention to its fuel economy. I can usually keep it in eco (mds) for about half my commute to work, but today was the first day I drove in reasonably heavy rain. What a...

    Engine knocking/pinging while driving (2019 Ram Rebel; 5.7L V8 VVT)

    If you are dead set on 87 octane, try swapping brands. It should run perfectly fine on 87. Some brands say 87 but that might not be what you are actually getting. There a re a few people running 85 octane without issue at higher altitudes, but obviously that isnt reccomended, it is below the...

    My First Tank Of Gas MPG

    2021 bighorn, 5.7 non-etorque, 3.21 gears. First tank got 406 miles, used 22.9 gallons. So 17.72 Mpg (13.27 L/100km) About 75% hwy, 25% city. About a dozen short 10 mile trips at about 45mph though. That seemed to have eaten into the fuel efficiency, as it was doing much better before that...

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    I think it looks pretty good, but my wife doesn't like it... so I think i'm going to leave it black for now, haha. On to the calipers now.

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    Painted them with VHT caliper paint and cured them in the oven. I'm very happy with the results. I'm thinking dark grey, black, or red for the calipers. I just don't want them rusted up by next year.

    Flame red Bighorn Built to serve tow hooks and calipers

    I threw on the Vinyl tape just to see what it would look like. I think it's a go. I like it, and it just got ceramicoated, so it's looking particularly sharp right now.
