What did you do to your Ram today???

[KRField]

Dropped it off at the dealer to have them look at USB ports working intermittently (affecting CarPlay), as well as overhead console that goes out every now and then.
Have a tricked out (not) Dodge Journey as a rental as Enterprise was out of RAMs ... Sheesh.

To be honest I have a feeling it’s on Apple this time. IOS 13 has a nasty bug that kills off background apps. I have had issues ever since I did the update on my phone. Before 13.2 it was flawless.

Thanks for the reply, but it’s not Apple. Simple reason is that I have a USB thumb drive connected all the time with music playlists, and it always disconnects at the same time CarPlay stops working (even when phone is not connected, I can see when USB stops reading the drive), so it’s def UConnect bug or USB port.

Alas, I know the bug you mention in Apple, and that’s a memory mgmt issue (not related to BT connectivity in my case).
The issue I’m having has been ongoing for me off and on since I purchased the truck. It’s def hardware (USB ports or UConnect), or software bug In the truck’s radio.

Thanks. Just spoke to my dealer. Unfortunately, this is the week when the USB ports happen to be working ok, so they are not able to swap hardware like the USB panel.
Very frustrating, as Apple CarPlay has never worked consistently, ever since I've bought the truck in June 2018.

To be honest, I am getting pretty tired of these issues.
Already given up on having cold AC. I don't even bring that up with the dealer anymore, since of course, it works w/o issues, right?.

Pretty lame when my son's $22k Tacoma has had zero issues, everything works as it should, and the minute you turn the engine on, the AC spits out hypothermia-inducing coldness, which is what I want, since I live in Texas. My truck on the other hand, has been to the dealer multiple times for CarPlay related issues, which no-one seems to be able to figure out. I'm not alone here. Why do you have trucks leaving the factory that still have water leaks, or brake squeal, or AC issues, or clunks, misaligned trim, or just ****-poor QC?

Why does UConnect suck so much, almost two years after debuting? How is this even acceptable?

Added the Weathertech mud flaps and BFG KO2s.

How do you like the Mopar lift and ties?

1st winch recovery (for fun) with 1 1/2yr old son and his toy 4x4 jeep (remote controlled and really cool) and suspension flex test + stream crossing on rental cabin property in Rutherfordton, NC. Was an awesome getaway for the weekend.

Can he ride in that? I have a 9 month old and getting excited about things like that. I'm also jealous of wherever it is you live. I am in South Florida, beach and boating is fun but the rest isn't.

Finally got some 285/65r20 Falken Wildpeaks on my truck. Had a leveling kit for so long with stock tires really didn’t look right. Looks really good in my opinion.

Got my truck flashed for the trailer brakes I installed two weekends ago.

Yes, I bought it for him when he was about that old, i still drive him around with remote too. He cant reach the pedal yet . Holds 100lb so can grow into it. It has 3 speeds and a gradual power curve unlike powerwheels instant full power. Speed 1 is like 1mph speed 3 maybe a brisk walk speed? My 1st kid and so cool teaching him how to climb in by stepping on tire and buckle up but waiting to teach him about the functional steering wheel and gas pedal. I tell him to turn on his music or close his doors after he gets in. It's a motorhead fathers #1 bonding gift. and its 4 motor 4 wheel drive! Take him out and it climbs like mad!

Both are great, but I spent too much time with the TSB spacers and the phantom versions of the Mopar kit that didn’t exist. I was scheduled to go into the dealer today, but canceled due to all the members on here who are adding the ORG springs to level the truck. If you want to read more on this issue, read the below tread. https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/updated-2-mopar-lift-level-kit-discussion.9167/post-204826

The KO2s definitely gave the truck its more aggressive look and also increased the height an additional inch. I had to purchase the rough country speedometer calibrator because the dealer couldn’t flash the computer. Before flashing the computer, the truck stated 70 mph per the speedometer, but it was actually going 77 per my GPS. I also lost about 1.5 to 2 MPG’s because of the tires. There is a slight tire road noise but nothing I don’t mind. I can’t hear it if I turn the radio on. I would say the one thing that surprised me about the tires was the stones that the tires picked up for my gravel driveway which forced me to get the mudflaps so I didn’t chip all the paint.

Get that thing out of his mouth and put a cigar or something else in there. He's old enough to drive so passify nothing!

Lol...well done.

Installed my Peragon bed coverView attachment 39184

Looks great. Any tips for install?

Installed the RB 10 running boards. Most annoying part was the paint on the bottom studs. Easy install, took about an hour and a half from unboxing to tossing packaging away. Pics to follow tomorrow when I have day light.

Picked up the truck late last night (well, not late. 6:30 PM) after the service dept had closed. Battery was dead so a sales guy had to jump me, while also check engine light on. Battery dead again this morning, so I had to jump it.
Took it back and dropped it off, so back on another rental today and taking time off work. Hope is nothing serious and I can have my vehicle back soon. Will update once I know more...

You can find them for around $380 before tax with free shipping.

Put my JK in storage for the winter. Uhaul trailer was a beauty, I think both axles were bent.

 

[Bigcountry]

Hoping for as close to 35x12.5 as I can

Here is mine. Again it’s a 295/60R20.
