    AlfaOBD Known Changes 5th Gen

    Anybody know if it's possible to keep Signature Lighting when not in gear, but have it go off and use Turn Signal as DRL?

    Mopar LED Bed Lights Install?

    Here is the connector where the upstream wiring is. Drivers side above the resonator. The left harness connects here and the light wiring plugs into the other end.

    Mopar LED Bed Lights Install?

    It connects via the harness that I attached above in the parts list. Left harness is the downstream harness for this connection point. The light wiring then connects to left harness.

    Mopar LED Bed Lights Install?

    There are cheaper ways to do it, but yes. You should check to make sure you have the two wires before purchasing. Also, if you’re going to use the Mopar kit, I would try pinning the downstream connector first. Not sure if you looked, but it’s a bit awkward/tight. My preference would be to...

    Mopar LED Bed Lights Install?

    Recently, I‘ve looked into this more than I care to admit. Deciding between OEM bed lights, aftermarket, or some combo. I’ve read many comments here that the OEM lights are not very bright and others that aftermarket led strips are too bright. All subjective I guess. To answer your question...

    Jeep RAM dealer to avoid - Dayton Ohio

    Yea I’ve bought two trucks in <3 years, both from out of state dealers. From my experience dealers are very unwilling to talk trade-in estimates over the phone. Either insisting they won’t give one sight unseen or low-balling. It’s tough to negotiate price in either situation. The first I drove...

    Jeep RAM dealer to avoid - Dayton Ohio

    Posts like this always have me thinking...do manufacturers not want to do this right? Buying a car is one of the most miserable experiences there is. Tech from the stone ages, takes forever, never full transparency, etc. I've wondered why one of the automakers doesn't partner with Carvana or...

    Bed Lighting Kit

    @JayStein Appreciate your help thus far. Planning to do this as you described. I confirmed I have the feeds 6 and 11 at that connector. Just need to pin them out. Purchased a switched aftermarket light kit. Just two wires. Trying to figure out how I need to wire this thing. Do you happen to...

    2019 Bed Light Kit Install Question

    Does anyone happen to have a nighttime picture of the factory bed lights under a bed cover? I've seen a few mentions they aren't that bright. Trying to decide whether to go OEM or aftermarket. Thanks in advance.

    AlfaOBD

    A lot to sift through here. Can someone provide the total cost for all components needed to get this operating reliably?

    Bed Lighting Kit

    I misread your original post, seeing (what I wanted to see) “center stop lights” and not what you wrote—cargo bed lights. Any chance the CHMSL circuit also runs to the same spot so I can avoid programming?

    Bed Lighting Kit

    If I‘m understanding, doing as you describe would keep all wiring external to the cab and essentially be 100% reversible back to factory, yes? Is the programming you reference required for operating led strip lights?

    Heated seats not very warm.

    Mine are what I would consider weak as well. Nothing scientific, but I can put driver‘s on 3 and drive all about without them getting hot enough to need to turn down. And I’m in MD; it’s typically not less than 35 degrees here. On my old Sierra there was no chance I was making it more than...

    The apparently all too common water leak

    I hope I don't jinx myself, but in case it might be helpful for those with third brake light issues. I've had mine off twice now (I believe I have the newer design) to install LEDs and replace a bad one. Each time when reinstalling I've added a little of this to the gasket and have been good so...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Just went outside and took a peek. Saw the plug on the front door. The rear door appears to be different. Do you know off hand the process for that?

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    Thanks. I was wondering if you HAVE TO install on both front doors or if you can just do drivers side? Also, bummer to know interior panels have to be removed. I'm gonna be worried if they have to remove them to repaint. The last time I had body work done where the panels were removed, I had...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    I've read through this whole thing once, albeit many months ago. Had a couple questions; was hoping I could get some quick answers rather than scanning the whole thread again. Was side-swiped at slow speed unfortunately and the repair MIGHT require a full repaint of the driver side of the...

    Some Real World MPG Numbers

    Just took a 320 mile round trip from Baltimore to PA. About 600’ in elevation change; lots of hills and valleys. 19.4mpg per the truck’s calc. Was a little underwhelmed honestly. I was intent on maximizing fuel economy for most of the drive. My BTS effectively has ORG, as well as 26 gal tank...

    2021 Led lights

    I had these installed in my 2021 for two months and had no fob issues. I wouldn’t consider them to be super bright, but they matched well aesthetically. Two years after initial install on my previous truck one is now flickering, but I believe it to be an issue with the bulb; not truck related...

    Hi all. I’m a new BTS owner. 2021 Tank. It’s a nice truck and an upgrade from my 2019 Sierra SLE…Carmax offered me $5k more than I paid 18 months ago. Was too good to pass up. That being said, I’m seeing some of these used car prices and trade-in values recently and to be honest, I wouldn’t be...
