Not lowered. I just turned off the tone, kept the lights

My experience with GA police is that they seem to always be looking for out of state license plates. Everyone can be doing 90mph and that's ok, except for that one guy doing 80mph with Jersey plates. That guy is getting a ticket.
Sounds right. Out of state gunowners that strictly follow federal law get (illegally) thrown in jail in New Jersey until they prove their innocence in court.My experience with GA police is that they seem to always be looking for out of state license plates.

It is so true. Never ever drive with guns through NJ. You're basically one unplanned stop away from being a felon.

Never drive through any state thinking that you only have to follow "Federal law". You are always subject to all the laws of the state you're in.
If you get arrested in NJ for not following NJ state laws, that's on you. Either that or be prepared to appeal your case all the way to the Supreme Court.

PWU is ... flaky.
My truck has been parked for over 2 hours.
I just went out and walked right up to the driver's door. No PWU. I popped the hood and checked both batteries with a voltmeter. Both showed around 12.6V.
Closed the truck back up and walked to my garage (about 100 yards) and back.
When I walked back up to it, the PWU activated. I didn't change any settings. I didn't start the truck.
Flaky...

Of course, if both batteries are not isolated from each other, then I would expect them to show the same voltage, even if one is good and the other is "bad".
*sigh*
Regardless, PWU didn't work and then 1 minute later it did.
Flaky.

Any powerstep installers? Adapting amp research powerstep from 21 Ram 1500 to 2025 Ram 1500. Real truck gave me list of 3 parts needed, basically new electronics. Question (which they couldn't answer), will the pre-2025 OBD pass through (76405-01A) work on the 25?

I don’t know for sure, but given the new CANBUS architecture, I don’t think so. @Jimmy07 might know if he’s around

That’s what I saw too. Thanks for the confirmation.
A couple things to note based on the last two pages of posts:
1) Rain sensitive wipers. Seems I'm not the only one who thinks they are not great. One theory I have: I have used various cleaning liquids on the windshield in the 4 months I've owned it, e.g. waterless wash and "quick wax." I wonder if there is residue causing the windshield to fog a bit on rainy days and confuse the sensor. It's a spitball theory.
2) Proximity Wake Up. Unlike my 2025 Big Horn turned in by Lemon Law, this Laramie has been mostly bug free with the electronics (knock on wood). To my knowledge, both batteries are going strong, and I have no indications the aux battery is dying. HOWEVER, at least the light up feature of Proximity Wake Up doesn't work at all. Turning that feature on in Uconnect does nothing noticeable. Truth told, I'm walking around the truck so much in the garage, I'd probably have to leave that feature off anyway.
My biggest complaint continues to be that the truck has been on lots since March 2024 (or earlier), and we still don't have a trailer camera to display on the Digital Rear View Mirror. It's a travesty.
