    Offroad Menu Appears

    To be honest, it's not been as useful yet as I had hoped.

    Offroad Menu Appears

    Just a week ago, there was no "Offroad" menu option in my central cluster. This weekend, I noticed it as I was going to the Vehicle Information page. I assume this was done via OTA update; did anyone else notice this?

    Oil Temp while Towing

    Update: Last weekend did the same trip, same trailer with cooler outside temperature (it was starting to snow as we headed up the hill). As you can see the ambient air temperature makes a big difference. Interesting to see the coolant 5 degrees cooler than lower on the hill. I attribute that...

    Find the Fensler Films parody PSAs on YouTube--hilarious.

    Low Fuel Warning

    That is not only something I didn't know, but very good to know. My sense is 3 gallons is probably close. Also, your math checks out; mine doesn't (there's a reason my undergrad degree is in political science instead of engineering). Lower MPG would equal a lower number of miles displayed when...

    Low Fuel Warning

    First off, I apologize for any duplication of thread material here; I searched and saw no pertinent threads, but I don't want to be "that guy." So, we're all familiar with the low fuel light that dings at around 50 miles remaining on the tank. Last night I was towing our camper trailer back...

    Replace Brake Light Lens/Assembly?

    People are freakin' jerks. Sometime in the last week some jerk hit my left rear brake light housing and cracked it (thankfully it didn't dent metal). Anyone know the part number for the brake light lens only (preferably) or the brake light assembly ($$$, ugh)? Thank you in advance!

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    LOL...I only know what the service manager told me. Maybe he was saying they checked both the switch return and the switch sense connections.

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    Report from the dealership: as most other fluid sensors, it measures fluid level via voltage. As the voltage changes when the fluid level drops, the sensor sends a signal to the BCM via a harness that goes through 6 (!) connectors before it gets to the BCM. The shop took a volt meter to the...

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    OT, but I minimize what I put out there because there are some crazies out there. Not here of course (Ram owners are not crazy) but not everyone on the interwebz is stable.

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    I'm careful about putting too much in public; no offense was intended. I'm far enough north it gets below freezing for months--though -20 would be extreme. The stuff at our Walmart isn't anti-freeze (I checked; it says "summer blend" on the bottle), so I typically end up using the AutoZone or...

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    The blue stuff up here isn't anti-freeze. Usually it's purple or orange or some other color--who knows why--but maybe I just need to open my eyes a bit more.

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    Will do. I don't remember using RainX in the reservoir, but I certainly could have. Using "straight blue stuff" as suggested is not a possibility up here where it freezes. I can find nowhere in the owner's manual to avoid certain kinds/types/brands of washer fluid, so I'm confident this will...

    Washer Fluid Sensor Reliability

    So mine's gone bad after only 11 months (~14K miles) on the road. Just how prevalent is this issue?

    Geno’s Garage Locking Diesel Cap

    I'm not sure. I saw that when I first considered buying it as well. I raised my concern here and another user told me my concern was baseless. I ordered it and it does indeed fit well. It will take some getting used to (primarily in fitting it), but now that I've had it for a while it's second...

    Geno’s Garage Locking Diesel Cap

    FWIW (for gasoline Ram owners) I have the gas cap from Geno's--and it's fantastic.

    Cap/topper options

    I was going to post pictures of mine after I had my XR installed on Saturday, too...but since your truck is exactly like mine, I'll save the bandwidth. LOL I got my XR with the keyless entry and the removable front window (so the doggos can poke their heads into the passenger cabin and get...

    Is there a way to get Apple Carplay to display full screen instead of half screen?

    Potentially OT here, but I'll mention it anyway. When taking a screen capture with your phone in CarPlay mode, the phone will take two screen grabs: one of your phone, the other of the CarPlay display (top half of the screen).
