    Bicycle Hauling

    None at all. So far the setup has been awesome.

    Rambox tonneau cover

    I finally updated my setup and wanted to show what I did. I couldn't find the exact setup I wanted so I just pieced it together. I wanted a retractable tonneau cover with the T slot rails built in so I could mount crossbars for bikes/skis/etc. The problem is there are not a lot of options for...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    I couldn't find a retractable cover I liked that worked with the Rambox so I pieced it together. I put on the Gator Gatortrax cover and added on the Rhino Rack RT style rivet mount tracks to basically mimic the Retrax XR series that isn't available for trucks with Rambox. Really like it, fairly...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Not all today but over the past few weeks got my electronic goodies all wired up and sorted out. Hardwired to the fuse panel under the steering wheel is now: - Uniden R7 with Blendmount - Nextbase 522GW And I finally got my AAWireless device which when plugs in to the USB port, makes it so...

    Shortage of parts

    This has been going on for a few months now. At the beginning of the pandemic, auto sales abruptly fell off a cliff while consumer/office electronics went up as people spent more time at home, bought more computers/monitors for WFH setups, etc. Most chipmakers had to shift production to cover...

    2020 Uconnect Old Technology!

    So either you don't understand product development cycles or you have unrealistic expectations. This 12" UConnect system debuted with the 5th Gen ram for the 2019 Model year which production started sometime summer 2018. Software Freeze was probably late spring to make sure everything was loaded...

    Safety Features Unavailable to Order

    My guess is it's due to microchip shortages. It's hitting every automaker hard right now. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Bicycle Hauling

    Tension, it sits on top of the rails. There is something you can build with Inno rack parts that uses the rails I believe but you have to piece it together. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    What is this sign?

    It's for the blind spot monitoring. When it notices a trailer attached the truck adds length to the blind spot monitoring area to account for the length of the trailer. Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk

    Rambox and multifunction tailgate gaps

    I am assuming you mean the gaps between the tailgate and the rest of the bed when the tailgate is up? I went to home depot and grabbed a roll of really thick weather stripping, something like this: Frost King 1-1/4 in. x 7/16 in. x 10 ft. Black High-Density Rubber Foam Weatherstrip Tape...

    What did you do to your Ram today???

    Finally got the Flowmaster bolt on done tonight. I did not get to test it out since the little guy was already asleep. Glad that's over because those exhaust hangers were a *****. I think I am done with mods for now. I thought I was going to do the Mopar cat back since I already have the Mopar...

    Anyone here also ride motorcycles?

    Well I did a thing yesterday. It was too good of a deal to pass up. 2019 Indian Cheiftain Classic Icon Series. Indian had some pretty good deals on leftover 2019's on the lot especially since sales have taken a hit lately. Only thing I didn't like was that it had a black seat instead of the tan...

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    Just a quick update, I went out to the truck at lunch and now the Pandora stations are working. So the backup camera recall definitely includes all of the previous OTA update features.

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    After the truck sat all night in the garage I started it up to go to work this morning and lo and behold, I have online search finally. I still don't seem to have Pandora stations but that is much less of a concern since I tend to just use Android Auto for most of my listening. I have been...

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    I got the backup camera recall performed today and it did update me to 20.04.19. I have not noticed any of the other changes as far as Pandora, etc. but I am going to give it a few days and see if they "turn on".

    New 12" Uconnect Software Version 19.33.11? New Update 19.43.1a

    I have an appointment Thursday morning at my dealer to do both the backup camera recall and the wiper recall. I am still on 18.45.40 so I can report back afterwards if it changes the radio software version as well.

    Trxudeo Lo Pro or Pro X15

    You can check my past posts for pics but I have the X15 on mine as well and I love it. I love how low profile it is. If you take your time with the install you won't have any leak issues. They supply a bunch of gasket material with it and as long as you go around and seal the bed before the...
