AlfaOBD

[guitarjesus]

Use the vLinker MC and the windows version. You need to enter the kilometer value that is equivalent to the miles that you want displayed.
Alfaobd can’t change the hours on the 5th gen rams.

I've read it can work with a wired interface with Windows, no?

Yes, the EX and SX work but they are a pain getting connected.
I was just specifically telling him what to use from the items he already had to get the mileage correction done in the easiest way.

Ok cool. I read the idle and engine hours can be done with a wired adapter but don't know anyone who's actually done it.

Alfaobd can’t do hours at all on the 5th gen rams, only mileage.

I just finished the OEM LED headlight swap with Jimmy07's harness. Does anyone have a list of settings that need to be changed? I changed things that seemed logical, just missing the driver's side parking lamp and signature light.

Edit: Got the settings from Jimmy07. Still don't have a driver's side parking light or signature when turning the lights on. Signature light will come on when truck is started/in run position. Swap the lights side-to-side and same results on the driver's side.

It can, I ended up using the EX to make my changes. Once I did it in km everything went through just fine.

Oddly my range on the new speedometer went up to 1999 miles of range once the mileage was finally updated though. I switched from mpg to kilometers/litres and back again in the radio settings and it's been steadily dropping down to a more realistic amount of range. Every upgrade I've done on this truck has been weird and created some sort of issue.

My actual speedometer is still 3-5 mph off compared to GPS. If I pull up the digital speedo in the cluster, it's only 1 mph off from GPS (but still 3-5 mph off from the actual speedo). Does that require just messing with the tire size?

I have stock 22's and my speedometer is exactly like yours - digital speedometer accurate and gauge off about 4mph. Did changing the tire size do the trick? I noticed there's a few settings that can be changed regarding the speedometer... type of speedometer, speedometer range max scale, ect.

Please don't jump on me. I am curious about the legality of changing the odometer (mileage) reading. Is that something that should be done?

It’s against the law. Is that enough of an answer?

It is only illegal to misrepresent the odometer reading when selling the vehicle. Otherwise, you can do whatever you want with the odometer reading while you own it.

I swapped clusters on a truck and approached a dealer about making the new cluster match the original mileage and you’d have thought I was asking them to commit grand larceny. They walked away from the counter and refused to talk to me any further.

Legally I can swap the cluster, I just need to disclose it to the next owner. I ended up totaling the truck so it was a non-issue.

Thanks. I know it is against the law. My question was in response to the few posts that mention changing the odometer without posting a reason. What happens to the person who goes to the dealer with a warranty issue and they find the change? Doesn't the BCM contain the real mileage? Could they void the warranty or even call the law?

If you are correcting the mileage of a new installed instrument cluster to match the mileage of the old one, obviously nothing will be noticed.
If you are changing the mileage to stay within the warranty mileage, then obviously that’s warranty fraud. The warranty booklet is clear on the one and only thing that will void the entire warranty on the vehicle- misrepresenting the mileage.
They can see what the correct mileage is regardless of what the odometer in the cluster displays.

Forgive me if this is the wrong spot for this. I've been having air suspension issues for the second time since purchasing my 2019 Ram Limited. Was initially looking for a leak but haven't been able to locate one and decided to give Alfa a try before taking it in to a shop. Are the values below indicating a bad ride height sensor in the front left or a possible symptom of the front left air shock leaking? Or should I be looking elsewhere? I'm completely new to both the air suspension and all this tech in my vehicles so appreciate any help.

Probably should create your own thread about this. Not sure what this has to do with AlfaOBD.

Hi All,
Hope i´m in the right place here, apologies if not - i´m new to the forums.
I´ve just imported my 2021 Ram 1500 from Qatar to the UK

Does anyone know if it is possible, using AlfaOBD - to disable the speed warning function? By this, I don´t mean the customizable one in the U-Connect system, I mean the actual dashboard light that flashes at 120kmh (75mph), and continiously beeps.... this is a requirement in the middle east for all vehicles.

Cheers

xpost here too:

Ever since I purchased my 2022 Ram 1500 I have been running into issues where changes I make (and save to my profile) revert after some time, usually 1-3 days. The settings impacted are:
1. Key off power time - I set to 10 mins and it reverts back to immediately off
2. Cluster navigation - I want to disable cluster navigation, but it keeps reverting to enabled.

I am nearing the end of my warranty and would like to find a solution. I also have AlfaODB, if there is a way to specify a setting there that would persist, I'd like to try that.

Actually, yes. If you connect to the heated seat module, there is a setting in there for changing that threshold.

I tried to set this threshold today but got a security error. Anybody successfully change either the heat or vent values?

did you use a security bypass?

Used this and the MX+
