I replied to your other thread you made about this exact same thing.

Yes you did. And thank you for your input. I have a data blocker in my amazon cart.
I figured that I'd post this one to see if anyone with AlfaOBD knowledge could add anything to the conversation.
Is there a reason why you want this?

Crazy question but does alpa work with the 23s? Worked fine on my 19 i think i had to choose 13-17 at the time because there was no options for 19.
I can connect my mx+ using the autel bypass cable and when i try to connect to any of the bcm modules i get some ecu error and when i click continue it shows connected but doesnt show the named module at the top, i think it just says unknown. When i navigate to the car icon and select the configurable option i get a requested procedure not supported error.
What am i doing wrong? Trying to configure fogs not to drop out and turn on factory remote start option

It does work for the 23's because I've made 3-4 changes to my 23 already. Make sure you have the latest version, select Body computer DT MY2022+ PowerNet and it will automatically choose MY2023.

Doesn't matter because both versions work with the 23s.

Got it working today. Not sure what I did different but it went right through.

That still doesn't make sense. The shutters will open if the coolant gets too warm

First I'm seeing of it opening due to heat on the highway. What do it determine as too warm? I've hit 220 degrees on the coolant before on the highway
Why would it not open to control temps on freeway? And 220 isn't an issue. The factory fans don't even kick in until like 225. If you are hitting 235+ then I'd be concerned. These newer engines can run a lot warmer than old school ones most people are used to

The only reason it was designed for, aerodynamics to adjust epa ratings for sure.
I just havnt seen or read anywhere that it would open up on the highway ever which is why I asked about your information.

I'm not talking about the lower dam, I mean shutters that block off the airflow to the rad. Would like to keep oil temps a little cooler. Just wondering if I can control those shutters to open a little sooner.

I don't believe AlfaOBD has an answer for that. As an alternative, I have come across a few other postings where owners have removed the shutters entirely with the exception of the top and bottom segments. Supposedly that workaround still satisfies the system and it won't trip any fault codes. Just going off of what I have read. I can't personally validate those claims.
So you honestly thing the engineers would allow it to stay closed and destroy an engine, prompting warranty replacement, all for the sake of not losing that .5 mpg under extreme conditions where the engine won't stay cool?
The active air dam has nothing to do with cooling. You can get an unlocked PCM with custom tune to lower the turn on temp for your electric fansz that is really the best option. The grill shutters won't make that big of a difference.
Another thing you can do is buy the lower grill insert for the Ecodeisel trucks that is actually open like the top grills. That will help get moe airflow to the radiator, even with grill shutters are closed.

Without going into explaining all the reasons why, yes.
A new healthy engine is likely to endure stressful conditions then an older worn engine outside of warranty.
These trucks are made to last 60k miles, nothing more. Ram doesn't want you driving the same Hemi for 200k miles without it breaking unfortunately. Infinite growth...
