    Heavy towing

    Got pretty close to may towing on my truck a few weeks ago doing demo for a whole home remodel. WAY overloaded the rented dump trailer with concrete and tile. The trailer wasn't even full so we didn't expect to overload it but had to get to the dump before it closed so we called it where it was...

    TPMS issue

    Hi all, having some issues with tpms on my 2017 ram 2500 I was hoping someone could help me figure out. I bought new wheels and tires and had them mounted today. When I picked up the truck the tpms sensors were reading from what I can tell. I drove to my work less than 1/2 a mile away and parked...

    Max speed alfaobd

    What do you mean by that?? I think I'm going to have to take this to the dealer. I have gone through every module and looked at every pid for max vehicle speed and they are all either set correctly or will not let me change them away from 0. I went back through every pid I touched when this...

    Max speed alfaobd

    Is this correct? This is all it uploads when I do it while connected to the engine control module https://drive.google.com/open?id=1gzYTu0_m-xPsSK8Ln1OVW_O8OaJ37Jy5

    Max speed alfaobd

    Hi all, I wanted to increase the max cruise control setting on my 2017 ram 2500 cummins, looked up the setting to change, changed it and now my truck has 0 throttle response in drive or reverse but revs in neutral or park. The max speed setting in the engine control module set itself to 0 and...

    Air compressor

    Hi all, I've been looking into getting a vehicle mounted air compressor such as the ones that come from the VMAC brand. The only pricing I can find on those is used on ebay at around 3200 dollars which is a bit ridiculous to me considering they are basically just a/c compressors that self...

    8.4 radio update

    Hi all, I'm in a bit of a situation here trying to figure this out. I'm trying to update my 8.4" VP3 radio to the newest version before I update my map files. Problem is my truck originally came with the 5.0" touchscreen so my VIN is not tied to an 8.4". When you try to manually download the...

    Something in engine bay making pretty loud whining noise

    Uconnect functionality?

    If you were to install an 8.4 radio into a vehicle that had a 5.0 from the factory, will the uconnect app work for remote start and what not? (oem parts installed and enabled)

    AutoEnginuity

    Is there any chance someone in the Orange County California area (or within an hour of, because gas is still cheaper than a dealer doing it) that is willing to enable the fog lights with high beams for me? I'm planning on picking up AE at some point but I've spent way too much money on tools for...

    RA2 Update failed

    I attemped to run an update on my RA2 and it got stuck about 3/4 of the way for about 30 minutes then said update failed. It then tried to boot but is stuck at the uconnect screen. I can plug in the update usb and it tries again but gets stuck at the same spot.... Any advice? I tried...

    Financing Issues throwing RED Flags

    Dealers don't make that much on stock trucks... Dealers aren't always out to screw you. Dealers do help people out some times. I know for a fact that Ford dealers usually have a set aside amount that they will use to help out customer in bad situations such as a blown motor that isn't too far...

    Recent Ram Water Pump Recall

    So the thing about recalls is it is normal to not have parts when the recall is announced. I'd assume it is a lot like Ford in the fact that the dealer is notified first saying this is a common problem we are seeing and we are looking into it, then the next step is to notify owners while the fix...

    2014 RAM sport 1500 Gas mileage

    Someone already told you what most of us will say, fill up when your gas light comes on because running low will kill your fuel pump. I think anyone that fills 10 or 15 bucks at a time is an idiot.

    Fuel mileage.

    Glad I went with a 5.7.... I just tested it and if I baby it I can get almost 18 on the streets on my way to work

    FOB programming?

    Hey when people are stupid enough to pay 80k to go to UTI for 17 months.... Lucky I bailed on that idea as now I get paid to get certifications

    FOB programming?

    Oh. That would make sense I guess. I actually ended up getting it done at a dealer. They quoted me 85 bucks but I stopped by the larger dealer around here on the way. The larger dealer wanted 160 bucks to program it! 1 full hour of labor! I didn't even try to argue it was so ridiculous. As a...

    Stock Stereo Upgrade - What Worked for Me

    Is there a reason you didn't upgrade dash speakers? To be honest the stock system isn't too bad in my eyes, I just want a tad bit more bass and I figure if I'm putting in a sub might as well put in some decent speakers to clean up a bit.

    FOB programming?

    Well I'd assume a key should be fine considering locksmiths don't buy Dodge software, they have to use something. It should just be telling the computer to go into programming mode. Can't be too different from fords system. Is there a list of what function are known to corrupt modules? Would...

    FOB programming?

    The seller actually had a new fob for me in packaging. He lost one and went to get a new one and the dealer actually told him that the truck is remote start equipped but they programmed non-remote start keys when they sold the truck so he got one for remote start. I called a few locksmits but...

    FOB programming?

    Does anyone here happen to live around Orange County California and have access to AE to program a key fob for me? I just picked up my truck a few hours ago from the seller but he only had one key. He gave me a second un-programmed one in the packaging. I'd love to not have to go pay an hour for...

    Drivers Side Lock/Unlock Switches Don't Work

    I'm a Ford Tech and first thing we always do with that kind of stuff is go borrow a known good panel off another truck and plug it in to see if it works... Know anyone else with a Ram?

    Radio clarification

    I'm definitely shooting for the NAV version. I guess I'll just have to start calling around once I get the cash
