I am also having issues with weight distribution and the ram without air bags. I have 21ft travel trailer, with 700lbs tongue weight. I’ve had to adjust the blu ox hitch to 10 links, max is 11 links. I wasn’t sure if anyone knew if the soft ram rear suspension makes it harder to transfer weight...

It’s typically very specific. If a component fails because the truck was lifted, they could void that specific failure. This is the law. However, I don’t have any first hand experience. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a bighorn, so its a different display. But, I can scroll to the start/stop display, and it will give me the full message. So, I wonder if this is showing of error, or just start/stop is disabled due to some condition (Mine doesn't work when the temperature is above 109°F)

Two items will tell if it’s flashed. Do you have the Tow display screen on the instrument cluster? Cycle thru the displays, one should be towing. Do you have the Tow settings menu on the radio truck settings menu, allowing to set a type and name? Also, When a trailer with brakes is plugged...

I think the dial is for adjustment of dash lighting when the truck thinks it night, and headlights are on, or fully on which means do not adjust display lighting at night, keep fully on. I think the issue is that the trucks thinks it night time, headlights ON, when its still too bright out. I...

I removed the panel, so I could access the wiring for the camera and handle. 1. If I decide to modify anything that needs me to tap into the wires (bed lights, keyfob release, etc). 2. If something fails and needs to be reworked by dealer, they won't have to cut the screws and bed liner away...

There is a Security GateWay(SGW), that blocks the OBD port from writing changes to the truck, only allows reads. However you can remove the SGW easily, and replace with the bypass module. Then program via Alphaobd. Then swap back in the SGW. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I’ll give an update in a few months to how it holds up. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yes, it works. However, the settings list is for all models, not just the Ram. Using the settings in the post works, my brake controller is now functioning. All the different options to choose are in the post. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Has anyone tried to get the pin to do the reset/replace yourself via Alphaobd? Even if it’s a rolling pin only valid for a short duration, it might be better than the dealer. This assumes the dealer will give you the correct code. I was told by my dealer that once a key is programmed to a...

I didn’t see much about DIY bedliner, so i thought I would share my experience. I chose UPOL Raptor kit, black from amazon, $129. Removed tailgate , and the access panel from the tailgate. So I had the bed, tailgate, and panel to spray. Taped and covered everything in plastic due to overspray...

I have the 26 gallon, and Alphaobd does have a setting to change the capacity. I changed from 98liters to 125 liters, and my range increased from 251 miles to 321 miles. So, looks like a software change should be done, to get accurate range. Oddly, the fuel gauge also changed, but it went from...

I added the menu to enable/disable rainsense wipers usin Alphaobd, but the wipers did not start while spraying water. Either more hardware is needed, or I missed a setting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I believe all trucks have the wiring. I can say specifically, Bighorn level 1 equipment with no towing options, had the wiring. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Factory uses your actual truck braking to determine how much trailer braking so closer to proportional/progressive but I would expect more accurate. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

No, the stock settings do not have auto fold, and the AlphaOBD setting does not work. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It allows you to talk to the trucks computer. You can pull fault codes, enable/disable diagnostics, and I used it to change the enabled components. So when I added the brake controller, I enabled the setting in the body computer to be able to talk to the brake controller module. Then I added the...

Does anyone know how to look up specific part information about my specific vehicle. I'll looking at mods (passive entry, memory seats) to add to my vehicle, and I'm trying to determine what wires I have in my vehicle...

I'm not sure how to check this, since I don't have the hardware required for this. If you download the free AlphaOBD app from Playstore, you can select "dodge Ram", RAM 1500 (DS/DX) - DT not available, Body Computer, MY2016-17 PowerNet , then select the bottom icon of a car with the hood...
