Yeah, I just haven't taken the time to bother with it yet. Sometime before summer I will try that route though!- vhmike73

New 2024 1500 Rebel Came With Extra Lock Cylinder
If you have the bed divider, that may be for the lock in the bed divider handle; might need to have it coded to your key. I have the divider (wasn't with my truck, but mine was used) I got off FB marketplace with the original owner's lock cylinder still in place, so I can't lock the divider. But...- vhmike73

AlfaOBD
I'm fairly certain that it is NOT possible with Ram trucks; I know I've read that it can't be done though I don't remember what the limitation actually is, and I can't find a provision in AlfaOBD to effect the same change that FORSCAN allows with the F-series. Its annoying, because even without...- vhmike73

M² Mods Intro & Project List
@Mpgrimm2: are you doing the Cargo Cam harnesses for 4th Gens? I'm looking to add it to my 2015 2500 Limited (I have a UAQ radio already), but the kaodtech site shows they're unavailable. Please advise if you are or can do that harness; again, it will be going into a 2015 2500 Limited using a... -
How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?
I know this is an old post, but the issue is closed. Here's what I found once the truck was up in the air: First, the front end was "leveled" or by the use of springs only. The springs on the truck when I got it (and that were present in my original post) were about 4" taller than the stock...- vhmike73

Added tailgate light bar
Get the 5-pin Curt harness, and you can use a bullet connector to connect your reverse light to the corresponding socket on the 5-Pin female from the Curt harness. Or, I cut the male pin off the 4-pin hardwire pigtail that came with my lightbar to make that the plug for my reverse pin. I don't... -
Sagging headliner around sunroof
I noticed today when I installed my roof marker lights on my 2015 2500 that the plastic frame that surrounds the sunroof cutout on the inside of the headliner was with some form of glue, and that plastic frame piece holds a handful of standoffs with a square of Scotchlok that mates to scotchlok... -
How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?
So I managed to get the broken passenger side shock off the truck after cutting through the top washer and rubber mounting isolator. Since it wasn't connected (the top of the body screws into a small nipple on the underside of the shock mount. Those threads, both on the shock body and the nipple...- vhmike73

Huh. I guess the new guy is right @Jimmy07. Who are we to leave him to clean up the site?- vhmike73

How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?
No; nothing looks to be added to the suspension at all: just that 'extra tall" spring the the shocks on all four corners. All the brackets seem to be mounted on the axles as they would be from the factory, but I don't have any good "here's what baseline actually looks like" to reference.- vhmike73

How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?
I'm of that mindset, actually. Pull the front springs/shocks, replace the rear shocks and while I'm at it, replace the steering damper. I don't know if some modification was made to the rear air spring linkages to have them raise higher than stock; I don't know the stock dimensions vs. what mine...- vhmike73

How to determine what kind of lift/leveling kit my truck has?
@Wulf I agree: the front springs seem like they're really too tall for the application. I'm wondering if someone jammed some diesel springs into the front of my gasser or something. Either way, I can't locate ANY form of spacer blocks or non-factory bracketry on either the front or rear axle...I...- vhmike73

How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM
Android Auto (AA) or CarPlay (CP). I THINK the question related to getting one of the apps working with the hub...or at least which you used.- vhmike73

How To: Install a 2018 4C (UAQ/UAS) Radio in 2013 - 2017 RAM
One further option for Floor Console owners who want to avoid hacking up their inner console lid tray to fit the Chrysler 200 hub, or don't want the gap left with the Compass hub- I can guarantee that the inside tray from a 2020 1500 Classic will replace the inner tray of a 2015 Ram 2500...- vhmike73
