What did you do to your Ram today???

[Rampat]

I mean, IMO, the TazerDT is worth buying even if you don't need to change tire sizes

For what reasons? I’m not sure I’d use anything more than tire size and TPMS changes. What else makes it worth it?

 

[WasatchBack]

It uses the trucks GPS instead of your phone when it's plugged in.

Oh wow that explains a lot.

Got my Billiebar rack and Yakima cargo box on for summer trips.

Which tonneau cover do you have?

Have you looked into what other features it offers? Brake hold(push brake pedal with firm pressure at stop lights and then you can release the pedal and brakes will hold until you hit gas pedal), third brake light pulse, traction control disable in any drive mode, light show(if you want to show off), can change DRL locations, disable fog light drop out with high beams, can enable trailer brake controller if you add that, change the cluster start up splash screen, has a park cam feature that will turn on your back up cameras or 360 camera when the park sensors activate, turn cam that will turn on your cameras with turn signals(I don't fully understand this one, but lots of people want it), 0-30 and 0-60 timers, line lock.......

But it has to stay plugged in to activate and keep all the settings. Correct?

Partially correct. Some settings are called “live functions” and require the Tazer to be connected. Others—changing tire size, enabling trailer break controller, DRL settings, etc.—stick even with the Tazer disconnected.

All cool stuff. But, not "worth it" to everyone.

I have 33" tires and it's not enough of a difference for me to even care about reprogramming for them, much less caring about any of that other stuff.

I have a SGW bypass cable and an OBDLink MX+, and the Tazer is still not worth, well, anything, to me.

The only thing the Tazer does that I would kinda like is to make my mirrors automatically fold in when I turn the truck off. But, that's a live function and I've have to leave it hooked up all the time. That makes even that feature not worth it to me. I don't want a Tazer plugged in there all the time. If that was something that would "stick" with the Tazer disconnected, I'd get it. But it's not.

The fog light drop out absolutely annoys me!

Don’t forget Kill3Honk for 2022 and 2023. I know you don’t have it but worth every penny for those who do just to eliminate that stupid feature.

Person I was replying to has a 2021, so didn't feel the need to mention that.

I know but thought it was good info for others viewing this thread. I know how many hate that feature.

Yeah, I guess maybe the 360 camera on when park sensors activate? But I always turn off my park sensors with the hard button because I hate the beeps, especially when I am on the phone. None of the rest of that is anything I’m interested in. I already have the brake controller, pretty much fully loaded from factory.

 

[Grape_Ape]

Tazer has never been worth it to me either but that's what makes money great. We can all buy all the stuff we want regardless of how dumb the other person thinks it may be lol.

 

[Idahoktm]

For what it's worth this has been my experience. Alot of people seem to think hooking waze up to their truck makes their speedo read correctly. While it is true they do sync it's not correct. I drive by 3 different fixed radar detectors frequently and my speed was consistently off by 3-4 mph depending on speed. Which correlates perfectly to the tire size calculation for speed. If you want waze to read accurately you need to keep it disconnected from your truck.

Not saying that anyone here is saying that but I feel like it needs to be spelled out for future readers.

I don't believe anyone thinks that. It's been pretty well explained that GPS apps are influenced by the truck, not the other way around.

If all you want is tire size and TPMS change ability, just use alfaObd or Jscan(for iphone sheep)

I'm glad you've got a grasp of it. I can pull up a myriad of different posts saying contrary. Since there was discussion - I decided to clarify.

What running boards are those? I really like them!

I think they are these.

Let's see those running boards/side steps

Just I thought as I forget about them but I have the mud guards too so that could help with the ice and slush build up . Appreciate the tip. I live in the Phoenix area so hopefully that won’t be an issue…. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

If you can park your truck and walk away without looking back…

You bought the wrong truck!
