Well I hope it’s only a programming issue and nothing major, seems like a rare issue for the truck to be misprogrammed for which axle ratio it has

I didn't see that. He almost pulled off ground looping a 75... impressive.

Had a strange issue happen a few days ago, got home, put the truck in park like every other day. Push the button to shut the truck off and... It kept on running.. I instinctively pushed the button like 5 more times and it never shut the engine off. It almost sounded like the HVAC system shut down like normal, but then kicked back on. Didn't know what else to do so I revved the engine up a it and pushed the button a few more times, finally turned off.
To my wife's annoyance
, I of course started it right back up to see if it would do it again. It did the same thing. We put the kids down for bed and I went back out to further diagnose what was going on, the issue was no longer present and hasn't happened since.

yeah pretty nuts... i guess he was an alert returning (which is why everyone had their phones out haha) with hydraulic failure... you can see the main gear smoke out before he starts sliding... then the thing drops and breaks in half... no wonder my packages are always late with DHL...
(which actually stands for "Du hasst Lieferungen" which is german for "you hate deliveries"... not alotta people know that.

Same thing happened to me except it wouldn't at all. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to shut off. Ended up getting a new push button and hasn't happened since.Had a strange issue happen a few days ago, got home, put the truck in park like every other day.

Mine did that a couple weeks ago. Starting out in the morning, truck seemed to stumble a bit as I started driving down the street, and held first gear for too long and wasn't shifting into second gear. Shut the truck down, and restarted with a CEL. Was shifting fine after the restart, but CEL remained. The Fleet Shop at my work read the code and it was P0731 - Gear 1 Incorrect Ratio. CEL stayed on for the day, but after a few startup/shut down cycles, it was off by the next morning. Truck has been fine ever since.

Read about that somewhere else on the internet. So far it's been fine since, but if it happens again I'll replace it

Well apparently the bar I was sold is for the 2500/3500 models. Guy didn't tell me part numbers and I assumed it was for the 1500.
A little too wide for full bar and feet are too narrow for the top rails. No part numbers stamped which sucks otherwise I could have verified. Anyhow, ended up looking at install manuals and they both have different numbers for the 1500 and 2500/3500 on bottom right, I guess I should have looked closer when the guy sent me the pictures of manual.
For sale lol.

As far as I know there are only 2 different product l numbers.
82215959AC (1500) and 82215869 (2500/3500)
Inside of TRX box is same as the 1500 as far as I know other members have gotten take offs from the TRX and put them on the normal 1500s.
Needless to say I'm not happy. Was all excited I found one for a good price and then this happens.
She took me camping! Skyway Trail Loop in Alabama, a beautiful 18 mile hike in the Talladega National Forest. Lynyrd Skynyrd was right; the skies are so blue!
Paved roads all the way to the trailhead, which would make this a really crappy truck story except…
On the way, while just starting out in Georgia, I was behind a Dodge Caravan with a sticker that says, “I’m still cool.” I can’t say whether that’s true or not, but was cool was that they had a license plate frame from our friends at Mark Dodge. That’s where I got my current Ram.
Also on the way, I passed by the dealer where I got my first Ram. Wow, their lot is practically empty!

There is no way to take apart the top pole that runs across and take some inches off it?

Yes the TRX is the same at the other DT’s in this regard.
I would think you could just trim down the middle bars a smidge - that appears to be the only difference.

Played with Alfa obd. Added the tail gate ajar warning and changed my drl to front turn signals. Placed another phone on sensor to keep head lights off during the night. Literally took me few mins. With the help from little research before I started. Thanks to others on here for there posts.
