    Question for Android users who use bluetooth for music

    I've only used Android Auto. The audio quality seemed much better doing it that way.

    Hauling 14ft V bottom in truck bed with extender

    I realize now how unclear i was. Yes. I was not talking about my Mopar bed extender, but a hitch extender. I ordered this Darby one: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00008BKX5/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_image_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Even though I think I'm going to now be able to use the trailer...

    Hauling 14ft V bottom in truck bed with extender

    Haha, yes. I'm primarily doing it to try and feed the flame for my son. I grew up rural, so I had tons of farm ponds and assorted fishing boats at my disposal to hit the lakes. We are in the city, so our fishing has been limited to standing off the dock or a few spots on the perimeter of...

    Hauling 14ft V bottom in truck bed with extender

    Yes, I know you are correct of course. :) I have seen a toy loader winch I could hook up by the front of the cab to help with loading. But that is another cost of course. I think if this was the 75 pound jon boat, I would be ok. There are plenty of youtube videos of easier mods for that...

    Hauling 14ft V bottom in truck bed with extender

    Hey everyone, I'm considering buying a Lowe 14ft V (Sport V-1986 or 87) from a family member for a very good price. I do not have any room for a trailer where I live and can't afford to pay to store a boat. I was hoping to use a bed extender to help support this boat with part of it in my bed...

    Low speed shifting

    I had this update applied last week and it has helped significantly with this issue.

    Possible FIX! Speaking Your Own Voice-to-Text Reply on Uconnect

    I updated a different thread with my UConnect response. In short, it is an issue with the current Panasonic radio not having the ability. UConnect is passing on that it is a desired feature, so I would suggest calling and making your voice heard if you want the feature added in the future. I...

    Voice Recognition - anyone get to send text or search address

    So UConnect called me after Ramcares private messaged me on the issue. Per UConnect, it is a problem with the Panasonic radio not currently having the feature to be able to do voice to text. He said it isn't limited to current Rams, but any new vehicle using the new Panasonic radio. He said...

    Just received a quote for XPEL & Ceramic Coatings. Is this a good deal? What did you pay?

    If you feel comfortable enough to try and apply the ceramic yourself, you certainly can do a Clay bar yourself.

    Laramie Rental shifts way different than my Limited. Possible Trans update?

    Got my truck back yesterday. They drove it and agreed with the concern. Applied an update and it is noticeably smoother now, no harshness in low gears.

    Laramie Rental shifts way different than my Limited. Possible Trans update?

    I called them on Tuesday and explained the issues, so I'm hoping they will run some updates. They so far have had it for two full days to do the two recalls, rear brake issue, and hopefully updates.

    Bad fuel mileage 5.7 hemi

    Can you tell me this flash for the ECM for fuel economy and the Trans. Mine runs at 2rpm at 75 and also is getting the poor fuel economy. I have a rental Laramie with the same 3.92 that I'm driving right now and it feels way smoother and my fuel economy is at least 3 mpg better on same routes...

    Laramie Rental shifts way different than my Limited. Possible Trans update?

    So my Limited is at the dealer for the two recalls and my rear brakes being replaced per the TSB (groaning). They gave me a 2019 RAM Laramie. Immediately upon driving it, I noticed it drove smoother when accelerating. I don't mean roadwise, I mean when hitting the gas and when decelerating...

    Text Using Voice Recognition

    I also received a Case Number on this. I highly doubt I will get anything resolved until they fix it for everyone. And I don't believe this is a RAM thing specifically, but rather a UConnect issue. This is from a Wrangler forum in March: I spent almost 2 hours tonight with 7 different...

    Text Using Voice Recognition

    Yeah I PM'd them as well and pasted your message from the other thread into it. I don't have high hopes. All they have to do is look under the last message on this thread and 5 other "similar threads" on the topic pop up. Everyone knows the issue exists.

    Backup Camera Centerline

    Same camp as you. No centerline and after closely following all this, I'm just going to live with it and not risk the headache.

    Rust protection and ceramic coating, is it worth it?

    I won't speak for Neurobit, but I'll offer my quick opinion. If memory serves me correctly, M21 and NXT 2.0 are virtually the same product, except M21 was designed to be able to be used with a rotary buffer (withstanding higher heat that occurred more quickly.) They are both excellent products...
