    Keyfob Valet Key?

    I just found another site that says this works because there’s an RFID chip in the remote (not the key but the remote). So I guess the key shouldn't matter.

    Keyfob Valet Key?

    No way to know for sure if the battery in the keyfob in this video was actually dead when they did this but this shows what I’m talking about. Several other sites mention this functionality. A keyfob with a dead battery can apparently be used to start the vehicle, and all sites that mention this...

    Keyfob Valet Key?

    I thought I read somewhere that the butt end of the key, when inserted into a keyfob that has a dead battery, can be used to push the start button and it will start the vehicle. Urban legend?

    Keyfob does not lock / unlock doors

    Good info but I’m terrible with soldering. I was just able to program one of the Amazon keyfobs using JScan. Much more straightforward than AlfaOBD.

    Keyfob Valet Key?

    I have a 2014 Laramie Limited. Both of my OEM key fobs are failing. I was able to program new ones from Amazon using an OBDLink MX+ reader and JScan, but after searching here I’m a bit confused on viable options for the valet key, primarily because I really don’t understand how the valet key can...

    Keyfob does not lock / unlock doors

    Another possibility here that I didn’t see mentioned is that the PCB board may have developed a break in a connection. I have a key fob that this happened on. I can still use it if I grab it on the top and bottom and flex it to get the broken connection to re-establish itself. It’s not the...

    Cabin Pressure Relief Vents

    I’m getting a lot of water in the storage compartment under the driver side rear seat and I’m thinking it’s likely from the pressure vent since the 3rd brake light and gasket were previously replaced. Where are you guys getting these new pressure vents. Dealer or aftermarket?

    New 2023 5.7l hemi, 87 or 89 on first fill up?

    Since I’m clearly in the minority on this, and I’m the only one reporting that I get pinging with anything less than 93 octane on inclines, does anyone have any ideas as to what the issue may be with my truck? It’s done this since Day 1. Pinging is generally a timing thing, but there’s no way...

    Did you ever get this resolved? This issue was recently the focus of a Jalopnik article. Interesting read, they cited this thread.

    New 2023 5.7l hemi, 87 or 89 on first fill up?

    I guess I’ll be the odd man out on this one. Octane does make a difference…on my truck anyway. With 87 or 89 I get pinging when even just mildly accelerating on mild inclines. If I use 93 octane no pinging. I hate that I have to do this, and I only recently found that 93 octane eliminates the...
