    Installing Factory Trailer Brake Controller and DIY Software Update

    I installed this setup and programmed it with the AlfaOBD tool. Lately I've been getting the service trailer brake screen pop up when starting and sometimes when driving. I scanned for codes and didn't find anything. Anyone experience this?

    2020 ram big horn 5.7 won’t start

    You need to test the volts at crank. Always check grounds for corrosion. What's the voltage when running? Electronics are sensitive to ground issues.

    Ram 1500 floormat pressing accelerator to floor causing vehicle to go into compression test mode?

    The truck has a prime mode when you first turn on the key. Having the pedal to the floor tells the ECU to not spray fuel. Cycling the ignition to off then on should have allowed it to start. Does the floor mat have provisions to lock into the tabs into the floor?

    180 degree thermostat

    The ECU will increase fuel at lower temps. The tables have the coolant temp sensor as a variable. Unless you change the settings in the ECU with a tuner the engine will likely burn more fuel.

    Backed too far into boat launch

    How far did you go in? Check connectors that could have been submerged. They should all be sealed but there's a chance for a improperly assembled connector that got wet. Also check the diff for water. There's a vent that could let in water if you went too deep.

    Safe RPM's Traveling up a 7-10% Grade

    Peak torque is ideal. It is at the VE max but that will vary with altitude. An engine is fine running through its full RPM range provided nothing is broken or has a manufacturing defect.
