    Power side step issues

    Has anyone had solution to this? My power steps are doing this now too out of nowhere. I also have a parasitic draw I can't find that is killing my battery every few days so now I have to keep it on a tender. Hoping the two are connected.

    Tire programmer

    The cheapest and easiest way to do is to get the OBDJScan app for your apple or android phone and a supported bluetooth OBD scan tool and change it yourself. The app charges $20 for a license to make changes to one VIN. The bluetooth OBD scan tool on Amazon is less than $50. Now you can change...

    Exhaust header crack - me too

    When I start my truck up in the garage it is noticeably louder than it used to be. Is this covered under the 60k powertrain warranty?

    Did it work out? I hope so. I know how frustrating it can be.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    I've never had that issue. Did you try connecting it directly with a cable or do you mean through bluetooth?

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    https://alfaobd.com/ You have to use a computer or android device that can connect to the supported OBD tool. I used this and it worked for me with a laptop that could connect with bluetooth. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07JFRFJG6?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Make sure the truck is on the run position but not actually running. Once your done with changes in alpha and verified they were changed disconnect alpha, turn off the ignition, remove bypass and obd tool, then pull negative battery terminal or radio fuse and let the truck sit for a second...

    Yeah body computer. With the newer versions of alpha they have DT Ram specific selections. I chose those and used them. I didn’t use the Pacifica settings.

    Where do you live? If close by I’d help out. We can use my alpha obd and the tool to program.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    The radio ID doesn’t seem like a proper number. It’s just HH0DVD4C. Seems like that’s not right. I do already have XM service tho with my old radio.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    One last question lol! Since my radio module was new from MOPAR I think I have a generic Sirius Radio ID. If I go to the Ram Dealer can they fix the module so it has a working Sirius Radio ID? It would be a shame to lose Sirius. I live in WV and don't have cell signal in a lot of places so...

    I’m back with more information on this swap. I know this thread is huge and this is going to get buried but I want to share why my radio would not program and work correctly. OBD JScan and the VLinker OBD tool I used to program the BCM would NOT work! I programmed and checked the results...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    I just ordered a new Bluetooth OBD adapter that is compatible with alpha obd and paid for a license to alpha obd. The new bluetooth tool arrives Saturday. I tried alpha with my VLinker OBD tool and it would not connect to the module. I tried a 1000x lol. So I will try again Saturday. Fingers...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    I tried that and the screen won't power on at all and I have constant emergency flashers. Put it back in and it works as before. Waiting the hour to see if its working. I'm sure it isn't. EDIT: Tried it and didn't work as I expected. I just don't get it. I see posts all over with this being...

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    Here are some pics of the wires I’ve got plugged in. The only thing I don’t have connected right now is the 12v power outlet. I don’t think any of this could be wrong but who knows. I am at my wits end and very disappointed with the outlay of cash and no results. Any ideas anyone?

    I’ve verified part number several times. It’s correct.

    8.4" to 12.1" screen replacement

    We’ll tried again after an hour. Screen won’t power on unless I pull the fuse. Verified changes in BCM and they are correct. WTF I’m so frustrated with this.

    Power Side Step Question

    I added the steps but don't want to go to the dealer to add the options on the radio. What three changes to BCM have to be made to enable the options on the radio?
