    UConnect Screen Ghosting Images

    Now that I've had some time with the new head unit in my truck, I've noticed that some sound related issues have been resolved. With the old unit, phone calls came through way too loud and distorted sounding. I had to turn the volume down to 9 or 10. Now it's crystal clear and can leave it on...

    UConnect Screen Ghosting Images

    Interesting... I'm thinking this is a software issue. It's definitely not burn-in like I think my dealer thinks it is. The images aren't permanent. That's why I don't think a new screen is going to solve my particular issue.

    Disabling always on power in usb ports

    Holy cow, the USB ports stay powered for 60 minutes??? Explains all the dashcam footage of the parking lot at work.

    UConnect Screen Ghosting Images

    They replaced the head unit/brain portion of the center stack today and it did not fix the ghosting issue. They have ordered a new screen now to see if that fixes it. I really don't see how a new screen will fix it since it is not burned in images that are permanently on the screen. They...

    Exhaust

    I also have a Magnaflow muffler. There is alomst no drone when cruising. Here's a cold-start for reference for the OP.

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    Yes, I am pleased with it. Like I said, previous owner did it and I didn't even know until yesterday that it had an aftermarket muffler. Yes, when MDS kicks in it does drone. When MDS turns off and the other 4 cylinders wake up, it makes a brrrp sound. I don't like the way MDS drones like...

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    I think it sounds pretty good too for just a $120 or so muffler. It's just how I like it... a good throaty growl when I want it to and no drone on the highway. I have a friend with a Bendpak lift and a Lincoln welding machine in his shop. He offered to fix it for me.

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    If the resonators are what's right before the exhaust tips, then they are still on there. It's louder than my next door neighbors stock exhaust on his '21 Limited, but it's not going to wake him up when I crank it. Now that I think about it... I hope it's not waking him up when I crank it ;)

    If it is a leak, what can be done to fix it?

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    Closeup, if that helps. It's not the highest of resolutions. As a matter of fact, that's a pretty crappy pic. Come on iPhone 11 Pro!

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    Thanks for showing me what to look for. I walked out to my truck a little while ago and peeked underneath. This is what I found. It's a Magnaflow of some kind. Now that we've discovered it's aftermarket... does anyone see any problems with the workmanship?

    Does This Exhaust Sound Stock to Y'all?

    I am the second owner, so I don't know if the previous guy had work done on it. I've looked underneath the truck and it looks stock, but I may not be looking in the right places.

    New tires

    I have the OEM Bridgestones too, with only 36k miles, and they are not very confidence-inspring in the wet. I wish Michelin made the "LT" Defenders in the stock 275/55-20 size. I don't want to go up a size. Looking for a good towing tire, because the Bridgestones are way too soft when towing.

    if you have a hemi etorque

    According to this link below, both payload and towing are reduced by 80lbs. https://www.ramtrucks.com/content/dam/fca-brands/na/ramtrucks/en_us/towing/Ram_LD_DT_Trailer-Tow-Weight-Chart_MY21_R1.pdf

    Thoughts on dealerships price

    They are about 200 miles from my house according to Google Maps. Thanks, I look forward to seeing it as well ;)

    Thoughts on dealerships price

    Wow, that's awesome! It looks like a 4-5 month time-frame from when people place their order to when it's delivered to the dealer. I am going to place my order in Feb, because I'm looking at purchasing next summer.

    6.5% under invoice or MSRP?

    Auto dim rearview mirror

    Yup, I had dark tint on my rear window and the auto-dim function rarely came on. The dimming function on the exterior mirrors must be tied to that same sensor, because they rarely dimmed too. My rear window was replaced due to the cracked and leaking rear window surround issue. I have not...

    if you have a hemi etorque

    I feel the same way about MDS, so I defeat it with the "gear limit" buttons every time I start driving. Sometimes I forget to do it after a three-point turn or something and the 4-cylinder drone starts, I hit the button and defeat it again. You are probably talking about defeating it permanently.

    if you have a hemi etorque

    Yeah, it took me some time for sure. I like how it behaves now, because I'm used to it. I can even make the engine stay on sometimes by having a very light foot on the brake pedal. I can also make the engine shut off by pressing harder on the pedal. It's interesting to me.
