    Coolant level drop, dealer can't find leak

    They owe me for a bottle of dye, I already had the black light, and two hours of labor. What is the address of RAM's billing department, I give net 30 days om billing.

    Signature lights as drls

    Is there a parameter that shows up in AlfaOBD where we can increase the brightness of the signature lighting to act as a DRL?

    Coolant level drop, dealer can't find leak

    It has been a while but I think I was dropping to the low-level mark on the coolant dipstick about every 8 to 10 weeks. Back then I was typically driving to and from work daily, about 70 miles round trip. The season was the summer months (I got the truck in April of 2013) so the warm-ups were...

    Coolant level drop, dealer can't find leak

    I had a "missing coolant" issue with my 2013 when I first got it. Turned out to be an evaporation leak around the thermostat housing. The engine needed to be at full operating temperature to cause a slight, almost invisible leak. I dyed the coolant and used a black light to find the leak. Turned...

    Constitutional carry

    I feel that everyone should understand and learn how to safely handle all firearms (rifles, shotguns, pistols, revolvers, etc.). How to handle, how to use, and when to use are different. Those that want to carry a firearm should seek training but I am against the government forcing training...

    Lane Sense not saving 2023 Limited

    No issue for me but I have a 2022. I wonder if they broke something. Have you tried a hard reset on the 12" yet? When I first got my truck I did that after reading several posts here. Once the reset was completed, everything that was iffy now worked.

    DEF tank refilling

    On both of mine, I let the needle fall into the red zone then add a 2.5-gallon jug. That raises the needle up to just under the 3/4 mark.

    Warranty Question

    The factory warranty is 3 years or 36,000 miles. The powertrain has a longer warranty, 5 years or 60K (gas)/100K(diesel). If you want to extend your warranty, look into a Mopar MaxCare service contract.

    2025 Ram REV Just a Regular 1500 Truck With Electric Underpants

    Up to 14K of tow load but how far can I tow it? What happens in colder weather, say around freezing or in hot weather? How is the range affected or the charging speed affected by ambient temperatures? So much not said is the troubling part. We are seeing a lot of YT videos with real-world use...

    Freezing Tonneau Cover

    I've got the factory trifold, it doesn't get welded to the tailgate by the ice. I had an after-market trifold on my 2013, it was so well welded by the ice I couldn't open the tailgate until the ice started to melt. I don't suppose you want to fork over the bucks for the Mopar trifold but it...

    2025 Ram REV Just a Regular 1500 Truck With Electric Underpants

    It likely can tow but how much and how far is the issue. From what I've seen, no EV pickup can do what most of us drive a pickup do. Then there are the issues of recharging and the time it takes to recharge. My son, who drives a Bolt around town told me the new fad is now charging people that...

    Dealer Quote for Brakes is $2K - Thinking to do it myself

    2K is pricy. I took a look at Power Stops, all four corners, $850 for the kit. Before all the nonsense, the kit was under $400.

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I found these three items of possible causes in my 2022 owners manual under the section "AUTOMATIC HIGH BEAM HEADLAMP CONTROL — IF EQUIPPED" 1. Broken, muddy, or obstructed headlights and taillights of vehicles in the field of view will cause headlights to remain on longer (closer to the...

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I don't know why my 2022 owner's manual doesn't mention the traveling speed requirement for auto-high beams to turn on, in my 2015 OM, they mention the travel speed of 20 MPH or greater, and in the 2013 OM, they mention a speed of 25MPH or greater. I don't understand your question. If you have...

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    That is a bit far but I do live in similar conditions, total darkness but the homes are far back from the road so they don't have an influence. Street lighting at cross streets does not cause a false positive nor does driving towards a traffic signal. The only reflection I can get is from road...

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I mention this but it is likely you know, the vehicle has to be moving, I think around 15 MPH or faster before the auto-high beams will come on.

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I don't have the resources to measure road signage reflectivity nor do I have an interest. All I know is my 2013 RAM, because of false positives, the auto high beam wasn't useable. On my 2022 it works flawlessly on the same roadways. We are both in Michigan, I'm north of Rochester and west of...

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I can only speak about my experience with auto high beams in a RAM 1500. I live deep in dirt road territory where roads are narrow and the reflection from roadside signage isn't triggering false positives like my 2013 RAM did.

    Has anyone successfully used JScan to add Auto High Beams?

    I do agree with you but not on the current models. My 2013 auto high beams had so many false positives the feature was worthless. On my 2022, no false positives, they work perfectly.
