    My truck and a pole

    Backing up to let someone out in a crazy filled parking lot (without parking spaces). The car in front of me kept creeping back, and so did I. I saw the pole in my backup camera, shifted my focus to the car in front while waiting for the beep from the rear sensors. When all of a sudden bam...

    How to rotate my tires?

    I have my tires rotated about twice a year. Have about 36000 miles on them. I’ve noticed that two of the tires have more wear than the other two, and not sure how the shop rotates them. Question is, should I continue with regular rotation, or put the two with the most tread on the rear? Would...

    Can you help me with my Jeep?

    I have a 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 3.6 L V6 2wd. Looks like the drive shaft center support bearing is shot. Not the bearing itself, but the rubber supporting it. I don’t have the tools to replace just the bearing, so I’m trying to find a decently priced drive shaft. The sticker in the drive...

    Resetting battery life in ECU when changed

    Someone told me that you need to reset the “battery life” on newer vehicles when you change it. I’ve never heard of this. He pointed me to the video below. Any idea if 5th gen rams need this reset?

    Turn signals as DRLs are cool

    I haven’t seen any other ram with this mod on the road. I like it with the signature halos on at the same time.

    Jscan - making changes

    Hey everyone. I finally have the equipment and license to use Jscan on my truck. I’ve got 275/60r20 tires. Went to make the changes using Jscan, so I measured my tires manually. It looks like they measure 32” with a tape measure. Is this weird? This is what my ecu setting currently has: So was...

    USB media hub front - thermistor bypass

    I pulled this USB hub out of my truck last night, and replaced it with the newest model due to shutdown during hot days. It seems to be the consensus that there is a thermistor which will shut down the USB ports when a certain temperature it reached. Can someone help me identify the thermistor...

    What is this thing under the steering wheel?

    I took off the lower drivers side panel to access the fuse box, and noticed this. Didn’t realize that there was something behind those slots. Any idea what it is?

    2019 wireless CarPlay?

    I’ve been in contact with ramcares about my radio. They are telling me that I should have wireless CarPlay, but it might not be working because of my software. I didn’t think 2019’s had wireless CarPlay. Can someone confirm? Thanks

    Options for talking on the phone with CarPlay

    Been using CarPlay for awhile, as I have a non-nav radio. When I get or make a call, the only options my phone give are CarPlay and speaker. Bluetooth gives an extra option for private calls straight on the phone itself. I sometimes use this option when the other party can’t hear me too well...

    GPS using CarPlay buggy

    Hello, I have an 8.4” Uconnect 4 radio using CarPlay with an iPhone 12 and Waze. Weird things happen with my Waze app sometimes. It will only show a blue dot on the screen, and not show that I’m moving. Sometimes I can force close it on my phone and it will start tracking. Sometimes I have to...

    Is an exhaust pipe leak covered by powertrain warranty?

    I noticed my truck was sounding different. Thought it was the dreaded exhaust manifold crack, but it looks like it’s the donut flange right in front of the muffler. Is this covered by the powertrain warranty? If not I’ll probably just fix it myself. Thanks

    EV charging - Rivian

    Was watching some videos about the Rivian EV pickup. My favorite of the ones available. 300 mile range on a 3 ton truck. They did a super charge from 0 to 100% which took about 1.5 hours. Honestly the price isn’t as low as I thought it would be for the charge. About $64 for a “full tank” without...
