What did you do to your Ram today???

[HemiDude]

I grew tired of the fact my truck was communicating with the factory without my consent.

Not sure if compass and gps still work, but haven't driven it yet.

No more of those pesky FOTAs!

Yeah those updates to fix the trucks glitches really are annoying. I want to live with the glitches.

Do you have your cell phone on while driving your truck?

 

[Rick3478]

But....why?

People who should know say these boxes have remote code execution vulnerabilities, and it's well known that the truck shares location and diagnostics information with Stellantis and probably any dealer that cares to look. So I respect a bit of paranoia, and in this case wonder if some may be justified.

Random dealers wouldn't be able to track the truck without authorization from the owner or a court order. And even then, it's not like they can just log into a website and pull it up. Would still have to go through Stallantis

Of course.
But other than tower ping data, my phone isn't transmitting anything I haven't authorized.

Had the truck for two years now. Never have been able to get an update OTA. Every few days I'd see a java popup message.

Never have been able to get anything OTA anyway.
Just as easy to load via USB

Compass and GPS work just fine.

I think those use the other (satellite) antenna cable. It's unclear to me if the Sirius radio might also have a path to IOT/SkyNet.

Who's policing that, and how would we know? Probably belongs in the conspiracies thread, but in a few decades as EE I've come to believe our security measures are sufficient to keep out honest folks, but the best protection is to not have anything worth stealing.

Installed Gaterback mud flaps, Undercover Ultraflex cover, and Ram bed mat. I did not install the tailgate mat, not sure I will use that. I think Im done

Did you post that twice because you did so much work today it felt like two?

Semi installed some Lasfit flood ditch lights…haven’t hooked up the wire harness yet. I want to run them thru the home link buttons. Still researching that. That will have to wait for another weekend.

Used Amazon $80 brackets, so-so fitment. Lasfit doesn’t offer Gen 5 brackets yet.

Yeah, just wanted to make sure everyone knew.

Well after 6 months of casual searching and 1 month of intense looking I finally found the truck I wanted. Almost custom ordered a 23 but I found this one about 500 miles away and bought it. It has more than I even knew it had. The Built to Serve package is awesome with the amazing looks inside and out, the chromeless body, the pano roof, digital mirror, LED lights, a bakflip tonneau cover, low miles (25k), ready to trailer, paint is pristine and the 12" screen is huge. Said goodbye to my 2014 Quad Cab after 8 years and 100k miles. This truck is just way bigger and tougher! And feels likes a Limited on the inside.

That looks Hella sweet!!

Congrats sir.
