    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Not the best pic, but here it is...

    Has anybody added the factory intrusion alarm system?

    No worries... I thought the same thing. Rolled down my window. Locked the truck. Took the fob to the other end of the house. Went back, reached in, and opened the door. Nothing. It also does not have the flashing "security" indicator in the cluster.

    Has anybody added the factory intrusion alarm system?

    Unfortunately, I discovered that my new Ram did not come equipped with an intrusion alarm, in spite of the fact that every GM vehicle I've bought since 2001 had one, standard. So... has anyone successfully retrofit the factory alarm system? I'm thinking that it would be mostly programming, and...

    For those that want to add the factory trailer brake controller...

    Finally installed my controller (and springs and wheel well liners) last weekend. Still trying to make up my mind about the Alpha OBD. Anyone else?

    Theme color not working in cluster

    I'm confused. I have a Bighorn Sport with 8.4 display. (Halogen headlights if that matters.) I've never heard of a theme/color change even being available. Never saw it in my user guide. Am I missing something? Or was this an option not available with some models or trim levels. Thanks!

    Is Mopar Going To Release A Lowering Kit For The Ram 1500?

    Hope it will work on a 4WD.

    Lowered the rear 2" last night.

    Just installed my springs (and fenderwell liners) yesterday. Made a nice - but not dramatic - difference in the stance. Wish I could lower the front by about an inch, but I do need it to still be useful as a truck, so I don't want to get carried away. I bought the bags when I bought my springs...

    DT Service Manual

    Okay... decided to go a different route. They issued an RA # and will have UPS pick up the second one, and refund my card. The return emails sounded a little more intelligent than the call center personnel. The person who answered me (Joan M) assured me that they had the problem fixed, but they...

    Retrofitting HomeLink

    If you don't mind being a little bit "creative", you can find Homelink modules on ebay for various vehicles and configurations, for like $30-40. Just be sure to get one for "rolling codes". They will usually advertise it as such. (The non-rolling code devices are ancient technology, and are...

    Loud Noise on Startup

    Okay... I left off after page ten, but will go back and read later. I'm at work now. Can't read all day. I also have a noise at cold startup. It's not just one clank. It's usually a random series of noises. More like loud clicks. To me, it sounds like the starter gear is not retracting...

    DT Service Manual

    ...and it just showed up, today. And it's still the wrong effing content. Still for the "DS" truck. I am beyond pissed. Sent an email (a very polite one, actually) to the address posted above. Maybe, by some stretch of luck, it will go to someone who actually can fix this, and not the...

    New FlowMaster fx install

    I keep reading about the muffler, and keep procrastinating. Maybe I'll have to jump... Thanks for the info.

    DT Service Manual

    Thank you for that update. I am still waiting for mine. They told me that they understood the problem, and were going to send me a new one. Of course, they couldn't give me an order number, and knew absolutely nothing else about it. But they are going to send me a new one. :rolleyes:

    DT Service Manual

    Don't forget... "For hire" generic call center. The people on the phone are NOT FCA. (Just MHO, of course.) Does anyone have the email address from your return packing list/return label? THAT may actually work.

    I thought about that. Tom pretty much echoes my sentiments, at this point. :D

    DT Service Manual

    Something additional... "Tech Authority" may not be Tech Authority at all. It may be a "for hire" telemarketing/call center. Which would explain a lot of the "air-headedness". Read on... I have an ancient landline, and receive an annoying number of telemarketer calls. If I'm at home, and...

    DT Service Manual

    Well? I finally got an RA number. Said that they had already attempted one pickup. (Before I even got the RA number. Go figure.) Said they're not going to send me a replacement until they have my original one in hand. They really don't seem to mind that they've had ~$130 of my money tied up for...

    Limited - how to disable seat belt warning

    Ever since I had a seatbelt to stop me from face-planting a dashboard, I haven't driven on the road without one. (That was ~40 years ago.) With that said... Last week we were driving across a pasture, doing a maximum of ~5 mph, adding trash to our brush pile, and the d@mn seat belt chime was a...

    I Gotta be careful on this forum!

    Forums remind me of when I worked in a shop repairing electronic equipment. I got a poor view of many of our products because all we ever saw were the broken ones. Since we were a repair shop, we never heard about the units that chugged happily along and worked properly. With that said... I've...
