    How can I get the $15 deal?

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Fair enough. I can appreciate and understand your viewpoint that the G2 should have had on-board GPS. I have come to believe that is the wrong approach 2000-late. The benefits from smartphone integration are now far better than onboard GPS, and will only improve since phones are on a much...

    Front usb ports dead and android auto not working

    Is this solution still working for you? I've been having intermittent (maybe 1 time in 10) connection problems with CarPlay. I'm thinking about buying this and changing it myself since my truck is beyond warranty on miles now.

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Sorry for the super slow reply. I was not sure whether I wanted to get back into radar detectors, but turns out the V1G2 is incredible. I had posted a summary review at rdforum.org, but the short story is I had stopped using detectors completely when I sold my V1 on Craigslist in 2013. I was...

    Hard-wire Dash Cam Install

    Just simply adding my thanks to the OG OP. I hardwired a Valentine One Gen 2 with this approach. Super easy this way.

    carplay bluetooth question

    I believe mine works the same way but I like CarPlay so much that I pretty much plug it in every time, so I can't say that this has been a major issue for me.

    20’’ Wheels on the BH 1500

    I have a laramie sport with the 20's with the Bridgestones. The ride is absolutely terrific. I drove 3 different rams with the 22's, which has a slight negative impact on ride.

    8.4 inch nav unit noise...

    Mine does not do this. Sounds like a ground problem somewhere or a faulty head unit. Take it back.

    New 19 Limited Report.

    Congrats! And, yeah, it's tough for the people trying to research a new Ram. Often people will come to the forums for an answer to a problem or quirk or something they think should be done differently, but statistically many many more aren't having problems. It skews the picture for...

    33-26 is 7 gallons?

    Auto high beams are useless

    I like them. Functions equivalently to our BMW X5 LED's auto-high feature, and better than our Mercedes E63.

    What to sacrifice when looking for a new truck

    Yes. I ordered, and you still get discounts. You can negotiate the dealer discount up front. In my case this was $9,000 even on a 62,230 Laramie Sport. Then there are some rebates that are price protected, meaning you still get them when it arrives. In my case this was 2,750. Then there...

    What octane are we using?

    Let's be clear that I think everyone agrees there is no lifespan or reliability issue to using 87 in the 5.7L Hemi. The engine management will manage ignition timing to protect the engine, and the engine will live a long life as evidenced by many. I don't think it's worth debating that any...

    What octane are we using?

    I did fill up with Costco 93 this time, and I don't hear the knock I thought I was hearing on the Costco 87. 1,650 miles on the truck now. I'll have to switch back to the 87 to confirm, but the 33 gallon tank takes awhile to burn through. Truck does feel a little more alert, especially at...

    Latest order restriction and MSRP change

    I'm curious how the FCA letter reads - anyone have a photo of that?

    Latest order restriction and MSRP change

    Sometimes these are temporary restrictions due to balance supply & demand. Complete speculation on my part, but perhaps they may be experiencing more demand for pano’s than expected, and supply side response is not yet complete.

    Muffler soot dripping

    In one of the octane threads a ram owner reported that when they use high octane they get more soot. Might be worth an experiment.

    What octane are we using?

    I’ve been running Costco 87 in mine over the 1,400 miles since new. I thought I heard part-throttle knock/pre-ignition/detonation on the last tank and I heard some again on this tank. I’m going to switch to Costco 93 and see what happens to knock and mileage.
