What did you do to your Ram today???

im guessing he had something wired to a fuse slot that's always hot, and now he changed it to a fuse slot that is only hot when IGN is on. personally i used F59 but F60 should work as well for IGN controlled.

I did it for this.20250322_135537.jpg
Didn't want to hard wire it. Also didn't want to keep turning it on/off since it was always hot. Now, on/off with key....

Anytime!

And, I've got one for you, have you encountered the mounting tabs breaking off the front differential on the 5th gen RAMs?

nope. haven't seen one on customers' trucks yet.
those with 100k+ miles are mostly work trucks and driven on the street so I don't see it happening on theirs, and mine's the only 5th gen that gets abused out of all we touch and i haven't seen it happen yet.

we're in socal so maybe the lack of salt is a factor, and mine's covered behind skid plate from RCI can also another factor. i mean, mine was exposed to some extreme sand blasting when I was on wet Dempster and Dalton and then spent a full day at Bonneville on the way back, but the skid plate covered everything underneath.

Haha naw I just stick a flashlight in the top when it’s indoors to see if I wanna top it off when I’m doin the other cars. But I was like “that has the makings of a questionable/polarizing yet somewhat believable joke mod for this 4/1.”
Haha so I snapped the pic and waited. 😂😂

I thought it was fast and furious underglow from inside the wheel well or something.

Either way, reminds me that I have never checked to see if there is a light under the hood on my truck. I always carry a flashlight and have extra lights so I guess I don't need one anyways but it would be nice.

Time to make some changes. Just not sure which I'm going to use long term. Figured I'd play with both and see what happens......

just letting you know, 3 out of 5 friends of mine who run Tazer on their FCA products and use functions that require Tazer to be hooked up full time ended up having electrical gremlins.
one had his jeep died completely on a steep off camber trail and had to unmarry the thing and unplug it at the worst spot ever just to get it to drive normally again.
another one was getting all kinds of electrical issues, ranging from flashing D on the shifter in a mountain pass to loss of power on the freeway on separate occasions. I checked all his wiring harnesses (he previously had one of those powered steps and I removed for him and reconnected all the stock wiring harnesses) and told him to unmarry and remove his tazer and see what happens. No issue since.
the third one happened on a Power Wagon with under 1000 miles on the clock. tazer caused the voltage meter showing 15v while engine's running. unmarried and unplugged, no more issue voltage reading normal.

i ended up doing all their tire size changes and tire pressure threshold changes using my alfaobd. no issue at all.

so if you're gonna run tazer and leave it in there full time, just know these could happen. now, with that said, some Tazer enthusiasts will say "mine's running fine" and i've seen many that run fine, and seen many that got issues. just want you to know that there's a potential of the problems, and ultimately you make your own decision.

This is good info. Thank you @boogielander.

If I use Jscan, do I need to do a back up of current settings before making changes?
