I'm not playing "what if" with every situation relating to the step. I'm merely saying it's a pretty safe bet the OEM step was actually tested and built within a specification to be safe and reliable considering it's a hell of a lot easier to sue the manufacturer if it breaks and causes injury...
I don't think you even need to go that deep. Stepping up and it breaking would suck, but I'd be really worried about stepping down from the bed and it breaking unexpectedly - broken bones maybe, but if you bash your head on the way down, could be bad.
I'm up north so more of a concern for me...
Thanks! This is exacy what I wanted to see. Just ordered the Mopar one and should have done that to begin with. I'm all for saving a buck when it makes sense, but something that could literally kill you if it breaks (step failing with you on it) ain't the place to do it.
That might be a bit of a stretch. I'm sure it'll eventually rust, just like the truck will. But if it'll take years instead of weeks for that to happen, I'll gladly pay for the Mopar step. Just wanted to see what other people with it had to say.
Can someone with a Mopar OEM step verify if theirs is showing any signs of rust on the hardware? My eBay clone is only 3 weeks old and I'm wondering if it's going to turn to crap real fast, or if it's just some surface rust that isn't much to worry about.
What are you basing this information on? Because I have heard from someone else in the 3rd gen EcoD group that the 3rd gen engines DO have a real sensor, but the prior gen didn't. Would like to know which is accurate, but so far nobody has proven anything.
Stop using Rotella - it's not supposed to be used in these engines. Stellantis even put out a bulletin telling dealers to stop putting it in vehicles. Your service department is apparently a bunch of ignoramuses.
At this point, probably not. If you had actally asked them the next day, it's usually possible for them to re-do the paperwork in that short of a timespan, but some dealers might not unless you have a good relationship with them as they are clearly not supposed to operate that way.
Went for another drive and it still ran like crap. And I started to notice something weird - even after disabling brake hold, my truck was holding the brakes for about 2 seconds every time I took my foot off. Well I about went into panic mode thinking this version f’d up my truck. Started...
I know the Tazer doesn’t directly interact with the trans, but resetting the adaptives clearly sent my trans back into a learning mode, and after 8 miles of city driving it still isn’t operating how it was. Hopefully it just needs a little more time to adjust, because right now it’s maddening...
I'm on the latest version and it seems to be working okay. I haven’t tinkered with much though. Started with an unmarried Tazer, then applied the firmware update. Married to the truck. Disabled fog light dropout, did a full reboot, and 2 sleep cycles. Started the truck and enabled brake hold and...
These were a bit of a pain to install. Watched a YouTube video and that guy didn’t have nearly as much trouble as I did. I could not get the rivnuts in without taking a dremel to knock down some of the bed liner in the holes. I then tried the instructional method of just torquing the bolt (using...
I didn't even remove the film over the adhesive for the harness. You can wedge it underneath the factory wiring loom where the headliner/windsheild meet and it will stay put.
Comma recently moved to a "laneless" AI model where it doesn't rely on lane markers to steer (allows use on unmarked or...
