I guess its a good thing most I could get is 106-110 since my tires are only rated for 112. Stock tires are rated for 106 so makes sense to have speed limiter shut off at 106 mph.

102MPH limit on the HD's and I don't think anyone's been able to break it without a tune.

At this age the only thing I get in that big of a hurry for is getting to the bathroom at 5:30 am

Used to be that the max speed was determined by when the valves started to float or red line. Whichever came first. (That ought to confuse the younger generation
.That is true, but that last shift at 102 with 3.92s for that short pull to 105 just leaves so much power to be had before the truck throws me into the steering wheel

just got my first round of programing done last night, and yes Alfaobd had 35x12.5r18 as an tire option so it was easy to select that even though I have 20 inch wheels my speedo is accurate and drivability is better and mpg is up quite a bit now that its calibrated.
I also did fog light drop outs and been trying to see if I can get off-road pages to show up on my bighorn.
any other recommended settings to swap? tonight Im going to play around with trying to set my cluster splash screen to something other then just standard 1500

That makes me feel like getting out my timing gun this weekend.Used to be that the max speed was determined by when the valves started to float or red line. Whichever came first. (That ought to confuse the younger generation
Too much stuff that's a personal preference (start-up splash screen, fog light drop-out, etc.) or due to a mod (e.g. keyless/proximity entry) to make any recommendations.
I will say, however, to keep a log of what you do so you can go back and change things you have messed with in the past. AlfaOBD has a change log but I also keep a Word document copy of my BCM with notes that I can refer to.

My former '76 Cosworth Vega had a 6,500 RPM redline (and would still be pulling hard at 7,500).Used to be that the max speed was determined by when the valves started to float or red line. Whichever came first. (That ought to confuse the younger generation
Its rev limiter was a hole in the block (which I thankfully never experienced!).

Does anyone know if it is possible to disable dome light time out via Alfa OBD? It turns off after 5 minutes if engine is not running, and I'm looking for options to make it work longer, at least 30 minutes. Dome light shouldn't discharge the battery quickly.
I tried to download AlfaOBD on an old Verizon Ellipsis 7 tablet. Google store didnt even show the app. is my tablet too old or has it been removed from the google play store? If I get it that way what other app would be recommended to make changed to my Ram? I need to put in trailer brake controller. Any help is appreciated.

Can always get a TazerDT which will allow you to enable all the trailer brake controller functions with one simple change. And then you will have all the other features available from the TazerDT.

It's on there. I would try updating your tablet software if possible and Google play too. It also works on windows if you have a laptop
I guess my tablet is too old or something. I dont know. I did download onto my mac via a virtual windows session. I need to purchase the license for it. I guess that will have to work. The android app looks easier to use than the windows one. I really wish they'd create an iOS app. I am mac/iOS across the board so loading up a vm just to run windows for this program was a pain.

If you are strictly iOS, you can use Jscan to do it instead. It’s cheaper than AlfaOBD, but it is paid per VIN.
