    Anyone familiar with the "Aux Cab Heater" used on the eco-diesels?

    I have a gas truck, but on the eco diesels, they are equipped with what is called a PTC Element, or Aux Cab Heater, which is electric and can help create heat to warm the cab quicker than the engine would normally want to heat up. Does anyone have an actual pic of one of these heaters? Mopar...

    Removing AGS and Active Air Dam

    I can confirm, if you remove the lower active air damn, no CEL, but you will have 2-codes if you scan. AlfaOBD has an options to disable the Active Air Dam - and those codes won't come up. However, the AlfaOBD option for Active Grill does not seem to affect the AGS codes from displaying. For...

    Need opinions 275/65/20

    That pirelli must be a new offering in SL. Interesting. I had Firestone destination xt’s in 275-65-20 and thought they were a bit loud and harsh riding. Went back to 275-60-20 to stay in SL. Interested in the scorpions if they really are SL / 48lbs a piece. That’s a great.

    CAN Bus device addition

    Have a canbus usb analyzer and started messing with a few things myself. I’d like my front park sensors to trigger the aux camera input (front add on camera) and a few other hacks. What can interface are you using? I got a cheapie on Amazon, but having connection issues, but might be the mac...

    Anyone ACTUALLY running 5w-30 or even 10w-30? Thoughts? Experience? Any REAL TRUTH to throwing a code running higher weight oil (no conjecture please)

    Synthetic since new, usually Mobil 1 or penzoil. Changed whenever the interval counter reminder get to around 20%.

    Anyone ACTUALLY running 5w-30 or even 10w-30? Thoughts? Experience? Any REAL TRUTH to throwing a code running higher weight oil (no conjecture please)

    in my 4th gens, I ran 5w20 per manual. at 120k, did cam and lifters (lifter roller failure). at 180k, needed cam/lifters again. this time, I replaced with a junkyard motor with 40k. switched to 5w30, and motor is noticeable quieter at idle. have around 80k on it myself at this point, so...

    Aftermarket BSM systems from Brandmotion

    I hear ya..for what its worth, it becomes basically a plug and play installation, right down to the connector pins and rubber waterproof seals in the connector. its pretty neat. the biggest hack, and this was just me, is I cut my tail light back covers with a Dremel to fit the sensors and...

    Aftermarket BSM systems from Brandmotion

    Don’t want to buy the 2 factory tail light sensors on eBay? Bunch of us did that, myself included. Jimmy can make you some nice missing wire harnesses.

    Rain Sensing Wipers (Not equipped but have the part)

    easiest way to add them, would be to replace your rearview m mirror with a "smart beam" mirror

    TRX Shifter swap

    yes. He went From knob to shifter; changed shift type in bcm. Simple sharing to show that a transmission swap from a gt / trx is not necessary to change shifter type, and gain auto stick function

    Mine turned into a pogo-stick after a year. Was like riding a bucking bronco. Put stockers back in with a spacer.

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    Disregard last part - just noticed the gt shifter has the sideways gate for sport mode, like the other vehicles. I’m guessing the bcm logs will list this in shifter type, I know when you put into gated area, it activates sport. Jeeps also have a dash sport button. When in the manual mode...

    TRX Steering Wheel Swap

    Not sure, but it makes sense the black fox vs actual paddle switches sending different messages. Makes me want to get a set of actual paddles wired in with BCM changes and see if it will actually command a gear change. Thanks for the info, appreciate it. Do the GT trucks also have a sport...
