    14.4in uConnect 5 - Carplay Not Working

    Give it 24 to 48 hours, these things usually heal themselves with a little time. You can also try a factory reset of the uConnect unit, not sure how many customizations you might lose (if you have any). Sometimes a reset helps. I agree this should not happen, but it does. I had no problems on...

    Software Update

    Mine is a '22 without air suspension, I have OR pages.

    Software Update

    I just can not imagine getting a Microsoft Windows update and having to wait 24 hours for all my applicationss to work again, or upgrading my Linux server and having to wait a day for my website or back-end database to work again.

    Software Update

    I noticed no difference so far, but did not try off-road pages yet. Maybe tomorrow, and I expect them to work. An update or two back really messed them up for a while. Off-road pages (or performance pages, or the like) seem to be what has problems after an update and generally comes back after a...

    Software Update

    Had an update a couple days ago, made me nervous too. A recent one messed up off-road pages for over a day. It seems to eventually reset. Performance Pages often get hit on Challengers and Chargers for a day or two when they get updates.

    Wire thingie under dash?

    I have heard several things: * To recover their inventory on the lot or stolen under the guise of a test drive * As part of a dealer-installed "security" package, often including etching the VIN into the various pieces of glass *To recover the car if the buyer defaults on a loan Can't speak for...

    Wire thingie under dash?

    Your pic looks a lot like the connector in the MOTOsafety GPS tracker harness, wire color out the end is different. Follow link for pic of the device and the complete harness: https://helpcenter.motosafety.com/en_US/wired-vehicle-tracker

    2019 RAM 1500 Tailgate Hinge Issue – Bushing Broken?

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    I wonder if I am in this case, thought it did both. I just leave the systems be and drive the truck as they just work.

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    If I set my top gear limit to 8, it does that too. A silly workaround or maybe programming artifact, but have not used it for that purpose. I feel eTorque is seamless and have not found a need to disable it. By the time I get from the brake to the gas, the engine is going. And it is smart enough...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    If the newer ones do not have an alternator, then the button does not turn it all off.

    What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    I am considering one of these: https://www.amazon.com/Generic-Extinguisher-E50-discharge-MAINTENANCE/dp/B0CSXWHPRR Unfortunately not UL certified as the UL certification just does not have a way to evaluate them (it does not fit into any of the tests they have due to the way the tests were...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Really can not do that. The eTorque motor/generator charges the big battery and a DC to DC converter charges the little 12V battery under the hood. The little torque boost off the line is not bad either, and the motor/generator is a lot better and faster at autostart than using the car starter...

    What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    OWB in a Mitch Rosen leather holster with thumb break, Springfield Armory EMP, 9mm 1911 with ambidextrous safety, Trijicon sights. Two magazines OWB on the off side, same leather crafter. My belt is a Bullhide steel core piece. I have been through a good half dozen different carries and rigs...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    That sounds about right. And eTorque autostart is seamless compared to the earlier system using the starter. I too have nagging concerns about long-term reliability but most of them never have a problem. There is some comfort in it carrying an 80,000 mile warranty under emissions coverage. The...

    The HEMI V8 Is Back: 2026 Ram 1500 Brings Power and Choice

    Within sane levels, I get better mileage in my Hemis if I put my foot into it a bit. Might be true for the new engine too. Don't go to "ticket-me" levels but get up to speed already.

    What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    It stays on my hip at 3 o'clock when driving. Removing it is illegal in some states but not mine. The patchwork is annoying but that is a different (big and long) discussion. I do make sure my cover shirt/vest is not caught in the seatbelt, my carry is available and on me. I have only drawn...

    What do you permanently store in your lower door pocket?

    Off topic for the side door pocket, I have a desire for the center console on my '22 Rebel. Are your inserts soft foam or kind of stiff? There are places and times, like valet parking, where my firearm is going to go in a TSA lockbox secured to the vehicle. I don't want a big deep safe, just a...
