Obd2 scanner that will actually clear CELs (check engine light)

I have BAFX Products 34t5 Bluetooth OBDII Scan Tool for Android Devices and it works great. You have to use an app with it to make it work, I personally use Torque Pro and it can be downloaded from the Google Play store for about $4.99.

You get used to the radio not being able to be turned off in the 8.4. I just turn my volume down to zero (not using mute button) before I turn off the truck. Not hard, just different. No more different than getting used to a turn knob for a shifter, which I still find cool.

Some Rams do come with a full size spare. My father's 2015 Laramie came with a temp spare, he was a bit upset. My Longhorn came with a full size, and I currently have an oversized spare in there to match my slightly oversized tires (275/65R20). It does fit.

Kinda like with my daughters mom.....I had a 79 Dodge Ramcharger (see avatar, but before I pout the shortbed conversion kit on it), and a pretty killer stereo system in it. 2 - 15's firing thru the back seat in a custom box with 500 watts on them alone.

Anyway, I learned early on, to turn the radio volume down BEFORE I turned the key, cuz she would always leave it blasting.....

Personally, I prefer under the axles or under the front control arms.....the frame is too high up BEFORE you start raising it with a jack.

Ramitiner · Jan 15, 2018

No one has ever installed a sub and amp before?

I lift the rear with the jack under the diff and put stands on the axle. I lift the front from the frame cross member and put stands under the frame. I have tall stands and they're extended almost all the way on the front, but it works.

Pretty much when you bought it, otherwise, about 10,000 miles ago.

ok. Some motors see better MPG when they hit 20k or so. Not sure if this hemi is the same way

Diesel engines do around 10 give or take a couple, gas motors...not so much.

Never heard of any getting better @ that high a mileage.

If so, then my 2012 is barely broken in, as it just went over 23k in mid dec.

My crew cab has heat vents under the front seats to send air to the rear passengers. Are there supposed to be vent covers on them or are the just open ended?

rage32 · Jan 17, 2018

I think it's normal. Mine are open ended too...

I'll time the door locks lol. I don't have wheel locks on it, but I'm not sure on the nitrogen in the wheels. I know they don't have nitrogen in them now since I took them off day 1.

My '14 came with the wheel locks on the invoice, but they were not installed. I found them in a plastic bag in the compartment on the driver door.

Same here, but mine were in one of the rear floor storage compartments....................

I actually took the locks off my 11'. Not many guys stealing stock rims around here and it's a pain when it's at the tire shop, because it doesn't always go back in the truck and I have to go back to get it. Have to keep the lock key in the truck in case I get a flat so it's also not like a thief couldn't find it if they wanted to steal the wheels anyway.
