    I've Let The Battery Go Dead

    So I've been distracted by some remodeling and a couple other projects, and didn't drive my '22 BigHorn for several weeks, and the battery went dead. I've put a charger on it and will see what happens tomorrow. How happy/unhappy should I expect it to be?

    What Do the Trailer Brake Settings Actually Do?

    So I understand the gain setting, no problem there, but what do the brake type settings actually do? We have options like light electric, heavy electric, light electric over hydraulic, heavy electric over hydraulic. The manual describes them by weight and type, but I want to know what the actual...

    Recommend An RV Forum?

    I'm about to take the plunge and buy a travel trailer, and I'll share some of the experience here, but if it isn't forbidden, can y'all recommend a forum dedicated more specifically to the RV and travel experience?

    Auxbeam and/or Lasfit Switch Gang Instruction PDF's?

    They say instructions are included to make installation easy, but I'd like to have them up front to help choose and plan. Couldn't find anything on their websites, does anyone know if downloads are available? Or have instructions you would be willing to loan out or scan for us?

    eTorque Alternator Generator Other Uses?

    It occurs to me that a bunch of eTorque alternator generators might find their way onto scrapyard shelves in the not-too-distant future. I'm wondering if they might be useful as motivating force for homebrew mini-bike/go-kart/doodlebug projects. Or even water/wind electric generation. Anyone...

    Did I Just Get An OTA Update? Or A Firmware Crash?

    Drove to the market today, and when I started the truck to head home, the display froze with the last rearview on the screen, and wouldn't do anything else until I was nearly out of the parking lot. Then it went black for a bit, then came up with the big RAM logo, then brought up a warning...

    Whazzat?

    I love a good mystery. Found this under the passenger seat when I pulled out the jack package to lower the spare tire for cleaning. About 40mm square and 15mm high, looks like maybe a plug for a square hole or tube, has textured surface like part of dash or trim on one side and snap-in tabs on...

    Impressions of Sliding Toolbox 82211356 and/or Sliding Cargo Divider 82215481

    I'm considering toolbox and bed divider options for my 6'4" bed. Who has the sliding toolbox 82211356 on the 82215286 cargo rails and/or the 82215481 sliding cargo divider? Wondering how that went together and worked out for you? Does the toolbox sit low enough to fit under my rollup tonneau...

    Ladder Rack for Stake Pockets?

    I'm considering adding a ladder/canoe rack. It looks like most of the makers think these things should be just clamped to the top rail, but I really would rather have it bolted into the stake pockets. I have a roll-up cover already installed, so that's one reason. I see several makers of the...

    Duck Season? Wabbit Season? No, It's Chipmunk Season!

    Tired of the cute little critters digging holes all over my yard, I have declared war. 😡 Dug out Dad's old live trap, baited it with a bit of peanut butter bread, and set it on the front porch. One the first evening, three so far today. My pampered housecat just plays with them and lets them...

    Gear Limiter Button Connections?

    Yeah, I'm one of the people who don't like the dial gear selector, but can live with it. 🤷‍♂️ What I really don't like is the +/- limiter buttons on the steering wheel. 👎 And no, I don't want paddles. 🙄 Those are okay on a racer with half a turn lock to lock steering, but not what I would want...

    Got On It A Bit Today

    I'm getting over my break-in paranoia. I had to wait on a pretty steady flow of traffic to pull onto one of the local highways. They were still streaming as far as I could see, but a little bigger gap was approaching. So I pre-selected 2 on the gear so I wouldn't have to worry about trying to...

    4th Gen Tailgate on 5th Gen Bighorn?

    I'm not thrilled with the electric latches on my tailgate. I'd really prefer to have a mechanical handle and key lock. Will earlier tailgates fit, 4th gen or even older? I can figure out the backup camera wiring, but hoping someone can tell me what (if anything) will physically fit the hinges...

    Whatizzit? Screws Packed With Front License Plate Bracket

    I put my front license plate bracket on the other day, and in addition to the four screws that hold the bracket and license plate on, there was a little pack of two smaller screws. I couldn't see any possible way they could be used with the license plate bracket, and haven't seen them mentioned...

    Anyone Using Stellantis' Independent Operator Portal?

    It appears that Stellantis is transitioning the service manual subscriptions to a new website. Stellantis Independent Operator Portal There does not appear to be anything newer than MY 2020 on the old Tech Authority site, so I'm assuming there will never be an actual service manual for my...

    Solved: Identify a Part Number for Instrument Panel Switch

    I'm researching/planning a modification, and trying to identify the part number for a specific version of the "Instrument Panel Switch" assembly. The part I'm trying to identify is #4 in the image, with 4 lever buttons which I believe might be traction control, tow/haul mode, park sense, and...

    Pretty In Pink

    Sometimes things come upon you unexpectedly and stick in your mind. There it was, northbound on I-75 this afternoon, a hot pink and chrome Ram pickup shining in the sun. Wasn't expecting it, and wouldn't have expected it to look that good, but there it was. Just have to say "wow!" (y)
