    For those with 6 speaker base stereo who have upgraded-What speaker did you use?

    Possible but requires a lot more work. Each lead has a different size connector that is crimped on the line. I had the choice of swapping the leads in the Metra connector or cut the connectors off the base blocker and crimp new ones on. I went the easier route.

    HOW TO DISABLE Weather Alerts??

    The latest revision of the uConnect 4 software has that option. I also just had my software updated. I was on 22.6 and that option wasn’t there. Now I’m on 39.6 and the option is there, so some time after 22.6 that option was added.

    Cell Phone Mount

    Course has a video if you scroll down the RAM mount page a bit. I love my Course mount - great spot, out of my main field of view, and no modifications needed. I agonized for weeks over which mount to get. It came down to Course Motorsports and Pro Clip. I went with the Course and couldn't be...

    20 ram 1500 won’t pass NYS emissions inspection

    1. Make sure your fuel level is between 1/2 and 3/4 tank. 2. Let the truck sit overnight. 3. Start the truck and let it idle for 5 minutes and with A/C and rear window defrost on. 4. Turn off the A/C (and rear defroster) for the rest of the "cycle". 5. Get on the highway/freeway/open road and...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    I'm using the Windows version of AlfaOBD on my laptop. I'm not sure about the Android version but, after connecting to the BCM, I select the Status/Faults tab then select Read System ID. This populates the BCM list (options and settings) in a window which I copied and pasted in a Word document...

    Looking to Mod my new Longhorn for MPG

    I ran my tires within 2 PSI of max cold pressure (rated 50 psi cold - I kept them between 48-50 psi cold) and they lasted 55K miles. The sides were pretty much bald but still had tread in the middle (3-4/32"). I could have gone another 5k+ miles but they were getting squirrely in the wet with...

    Looking to Mod my new Longhorn for MPG

    I agree that there are no aftermarket items that will net you a noticeable improvement. Throw in the cost of those items and there's no way you come out ahead if fuel economy is your sole priority. Short of selling your truck here is what I would recommend if you are dead-set on doing...

    Rear Window leak

    The problem is with the supplier. GM uses the same supplier for rear windows and their trucks are having the same problem. Most get it covered under the 3/36 basic warranty although I have read of some dealerships pushing back if it's older than 12 months (depending on how they interpret the...

    Adding Passive Entry: How-to

    That's why many of us have a "master copy" of our BCM. Not only to track what we did in case something starts acting wonky but also to know what was done in case the dealership has to reflash/replace the BCM. The dealership will only work with your VIN and what came from the factory. Anything...

    Bilstein 5100

    Sounds normal. I'll be you'll be pretty close to "level" with a full tank and you in the driver's seat.

    Poor gas mileage

    Just filled up at Costco (91 octane) this morning for $4.69/gal. The pump shut off at $100 and I got a smidge over 21 gallons in and still not full. Wasn't in the mood for a second swipe as I've got enough to get me into next week.

    Let’s see your coffee mug!

    What a coincidence. I looked at the gas pump when I filled up today ($4.69/gal) and immediately wanted to move to "snow country". 😁

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    The back windows are around 20% (17% maybe?) from the factory so most likely 20% on the front windows.
