    Electrical Haywire

    Yesterday I went out to start my truck and when I pushed the brake pedal it felt tighter than normal and when I pushed the start button the electrical systems started going haywire. My shifter began moving back and forth on its own (I could feel it moving beneath the knob) and all the lights...

    Radio presets keeps resetting

    I don't know if this is part of what is going on but I have noticed that any presets that I put in get erased after using Android Auto.

    How are the 2019's holding up?

    Built in July 2019 and bought in July 2019. I have not had any major issues that lasted. The rear camera display went reddish pink on me once but then cleared up the next time it was started. I have had the air conditioner turn off on its own 3 or 4 times but nothing in the last year or so (I...

    Replaced 3.5” Factory Dash Speakers

    Yes. I did all three. I also have the Alpine system.

    Blue tooth audio not loud

    This is a late response but it might help others. You might check the equalizer or output settings on the app you use to play music. Maybe a pre-amp setting has been turned down on your phone.

    Replaced 3.5” Factory Dash Speakers

    I have a 2019 and that is what I replaced my front dash speakers with and they dropped right in. I did not like the sound at first but after some tweaking of the equalizer they sound great.

    Best Dash Cam

    I was looking into this a while back and the brand VIOFO was mentioned a lot. More bang for your buck.

    Tonneau cover suggestions

    I bought my Lomax Hard Tri-Fold cover from truckalterations.com for $675 shipped. I get almost zero water into the bed even when pressure washing the truck or going through a touchless car wash.

    5th Gen Stock Stereo Upgrade Options?

    If you have the Alpine 9 speaker system the door speakers are getting only lower frequency signals from the amp (at least that is my understanding). I would recommend just changing the dash speakers first and just connect them as they are when you remove them (polarity) and see what you think...

    Bed mat

    I have the Bedrug Impact Mat which covers the bed floor and the tailgate. I like how it feels and protects the bed but I have had a lot of trouble with the velcro attachment to the bed. When going at highway speed and in a high cross wind I have had the mat separate from the bed and almost fly...

    Compass not working??

    Did it start working again? I went on a road trip recently, about 1,000 miles round trip, and the compass quit working a few hundred miles into the return drive. It also said acquiring signal. We stopped a couple of hours later and turned off the truck for about 30 minutes. The compass was...

    Other Android apps that work?

    Another option for music on Android Auto is Musicolet app. It works very well but I do prefer the sound using Poweramp and their equalizer. The only problem is sometimes Poweramp will start a song in the middle or near the end and can be quirky (even when not using Android auto).

    Uconnect 8.4 always reverts back to radio at startup

    Unfortunately the multi-step solution did not work for me. I tried it with the phone bluetooth on and going through the procedure and also with the bluetooth off. Same end result - it takes a while to connect the phone to bluetooth and always reverts back to the radio/XM. I also have to...

    I want rear camera always on

    I don't have this but I heard you can make that happen with a Tazer DT. Sort of pricey though.

    Backup Camera display washed out and pink.

    Just wanted to post an update to post #2 in this thread - I pretty much forgot about this issue and my backup camera has been working flawlessly with no pink screen since that early occurrence. (I probably just jinxed myself and will have all sorts of issues with it now).

    First oil change advice

    Here is the one I used - fumoto valve. I had one on my 2006 Ram 3500 since 2006 and it is still on there and never gave me any issues.

    Thoughts on SiriusXM renewal?

    What is the real actual cost per month for this? When I looked at their $5/month offer it wound up being closer to $15/month after they added in all their "fees" and surcharges. Thanks.

    First oil change advice

    I did my first oil change a few weeks ago and did not have much trouble removing the oil filter. I was dreading it after reading all the tales about a "gorilla" putting the filter on at the factory but I guess I got lucky and he was sick on the day my truck was built. I used a filter wrench...

    Phone presets vanishing

    I don't have an issue with the maps freezing or a disconnection from android auto but I have not been using Android Auto much lately. Mainly been local driving.
