    Spare Tire TPMS

    That's how I was under the impression it worked. So I was pleasantly surprised (for a change) by the way my truck behaved in that regard. Wonder if it also has something to do with my only paying that close attention when I'm out in the middle of no where, so there's no interference to contend...

    Spare Tire TPMS

    Interesting your's takes some driving. Whenever I've let out some air or refilled when I go offroad, it's updated by the time I get back in the cab, and even does the whole honk when I hit the programmed inflation pressure. I wonder if there's something special about the OEM sensors to make...

    Android Auto issue

    Yup, discovered this morning the phone won't pair again to the AA system. Every other time there's OTA update, it seems to require a corresponding AA update on the phone to work again. Annoying too because the messages are not helpful (try plugging in via USB is not helpful when it's already...

    Spare Tire TPMS

    Mounted up a matching tire to a full wheel with TPMS bought from Discount Tire. They programmed it up, and as they rotate the tires, the system gets updated. I forget if they have to do something each rotation, or if the system corrects itself after driving a bit. 30k miles (so several...

    Battery Replacement Suggestions?

    2022 Bighorn non e-torque. The problem actually went away for a while after they did some software updates and put a new battery in back in October. But then after recall updates and some other service in March, it came back much worse than ever. And since then I've been told working as...

    Battery Replacement Suggestions?

    I would put the cheapest battery in there, and have a jumper pack and/or separate aux battery. The real disgrace is that the buggy software that makes the truck just destroy them. I'm on my third battery in less than three years, and just had to jump start the truck again. After the last...

    2025 Battery Issues

    Not just new RAMS. 2022 here that's doing it too. 'cept I'm surrounded by incompetent dealers that say it's working as expected (hint, coming out to the truck to find the battery at 11.7V 2 hours after a 3.5 hour drive is not working correctly).

    UC 5 Software update

    I wish mine was one. I even asked if I could pay to have them remove it at the dealer, but they refused. Yet another OTA update that drained the battery and messed with stuff. Found out when I went to hit the quick link to pull up the rear view camera before pulling out since I had a load in...

    Battery died again

    Yes they do. Randomly. The infotainment system is the biggest hog, and it gets woken up when it thinks it detects the FOB. I have to hide the FOBs in faraday bags (which do wear out so test that they still work periodically) to keep it from detecting those. It's helped a bit switching the...

    Using lower gear and 4 wheel low to control down hill speed

    I've noticed similar behavior on my '22. On mine, it's not that it's going in and out of neutral, rather it's going in and out of fuel cut off. I can see this on the fuel economy screen, the instantaneous MPG switches between 99 and something in the mid teens, corresponding to the surges. In...

    Boogielander Build

    I will have to grab an archive of the thread after you've come back, especially the good Thai and Vietnamese eats along the way. The NOAA weather reports are great to listen to, my radio even will respond to their emergency alerts as I discovered when I was in Texas for the eclipse). Repeaters...

    Boogielander Build

    @boogielander Enjoying the virtual ride along, and hoping to make the trip someday myself. Curious if you've fired up the amateur radio on the trip.

    Will me and my family be ok? Code 219A

    I am glad you got some reassurance that it wasn't a catastrophe and could enjoy your trip. And totally didn't expect to hear any major replies until you were back home. So all good! I too get pretty somethinged off having to stare at that check engine light as the hundreds of miles tick off...

    Will me and my family be ok? Code 219A

    Sorry to hear. I've just got my truck back from service for yet another P219B (same error, other bank) on similar long haul drives. Only seems to happen on long haul road trips, usually coming back towards San Diego. Probably have over 3k miles racked up with that dang code present. Latest...

    Android Auto Wireless Disconnects

    I've linked to my endless reconnects of AA to the infotainment system to changes in phone network state. Everytime, it fails to handoff cell towers in a timely manner, Android goes and resets all the network connections, which borks the connection to the infotainment system. If phone...

    Left ignition on for half an hour. Battery died, check engine came on

    I agree. My truck has had to go in for other issues anyways, so it was no additional time on my part to have them replace the battery, and I'll save the $160 to put towards a nice replacement once the warranty runs out.

    Left ignition on for half an hour. Battery died, check engine came on

    My truck refuses to even let the interior lights stay on with the doors open. Really irritating around camp. How do you get them to stay on? The big battery drain I've found are the infotainment and dashboard systems that insist on powering up whenever there's the slightest hint of activity...

    Adding an Auxiliary Battery

    No BT, but I have some other temperature monitoring capabilities, and of course I can read the IBS temp. That being said, it's going to have to wait a couple weeks. Truck is currently out of service AGAIN(!!!) for a recurring check engine light, and it just got pushed back (dealer) another...

    Adding an Auxiliary Battery

    I've designed my system to be able to power a 2000w inverter at full power. I also set it up to "trickle" backfeed the truck at up to 18A, (still adjusting due to lack of diligence calculating the loss on the back feed circuit, only getting about 10A). The batteries each have 2x AS150u, which...

    Adding an Auxiliary Battery

    IMHO probably. I have 2 x 100Ah LiFePO4 batteries, and I unload them after each road trip. I have a fiberglass topper on my bed, and during the days right now, the outside air temps hit the mid 70's, but inside the sealed up topper + bed, it's hitting close to 120F. Most of the these...
