    2016 Bighorn Parking Sensor Issue - Going off and on - Driving me crazy

    I've had this happen after washing it too. Same sensor every time on the front. I ended up just unplugging the sensor, drying out and cleaning the connection and it went away. It still happens from time to time when it snows if snow or slush get sprayed on it but never enough for it to bother me.

    To DRONE or not to DRONE

    I just installed the Carven Competitor muffler over the weekend. HOLY CRAP, what a difference. After driving it a few days I am struggling to whether or not I'll add a j pipe or change it out. The drone can be pretty obnoxious. We are about to take a drive from CT to Ohio so I guess I'll see how...

    Malfunction Indicator Light

    I was wondering if this happens to anyone else. I have the Uconnect service on my 2016 Ram Big Horn. About once a week lately I get a notification from the app via push notification and email that the Malfunction Indicator Light was detected. The issue is it never came on while I was driving it...

    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    I tried using Google Assist for textinmg and while it works it is just more hands on than I would like it. I talked to someone at Uconnect yesterday and was basically told I'm SOL with being able to use the truck radio to send and receive text messages. With the 3G towers being shut down this...

    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    Hi JPT, I will give that a try. The weird thing is I can receive texts and the truck will read them to me, I just can't said. It tells me data connection is not available and to press the uconnect button to sign up for uconnect service. I already am paying for uconnect. I will try your idea with...

    Uconnect T-Mobile WiFi Adapter Issues

    I have issues with this too, I think. I started using the adapter and it worked just fine. I mainly use the uconnect service so the text messages I receive on my android phone will come through the radio so I can respond to them as well. I do also use the app to start my truck from my shop. I...

    How Do You Upload Updated UConnect Firmware when USB port does not connect???

    I am having the same issue. I have a 2016 Bighorn with the center console. The media hub illuminates but the head unit doesn't seem to read it. I've tried plugging my phone in, I've tried an SD card and I've tried a USB stick with music files and nothing is happening. I formatted a brand new...

    lock'er down exxtreme armrest safe.

    iI have the Tuffy safe in the center console in my crew cab big horn. I carry a pistol daily but also go to the post office and bank on an almost daily basis for work. Seeing as you cant bring a firearm in to either location and my state requires that if you leave a gun in your car it must be...

    How-To: Add USB Charger Outlet in Rear Doors

    Great idea and seems like a pretty good location. I'll have to give this a try. Thanks for posting.

    Engine light flashing

    The light flashing means something critical is wrong and you shouldn't drive it. Get it to a service station.

    New to me 2016 Ram 1500....... jump/lurch/bump when stopping?

    I bought my 2016 in July 2018. Around 4-5 months later mine started doing this. Did it through the entire winter. Reading posts like this on this forum and seeing all the different opinions on what is happening I haven't done anything with it. As summer rolled around this year and the temps got...

    Fill out fenders without spacers

    I did the flares and added 1-1/2" spacers. Filled out nicely. Basically just bolt on the spacers over your existing studs then use your factory lugs to mount the tire to the spacer. Re-torque after about 50 miles to be safe.

    Question about Wheel Spacers

    I have a 2016 big horn with 1.5" spacers. No rubbing at all and didn't have to trim the studs.

    2015 5.7 burning smell at temperature

    I experience the same thing. To me it's almost like the smell of a really hot hair dryer, best I can describe. Funny thing is I have a 2004 Durango 4.7 that would do this too. Usually when driving on the highway and climbing hills, high rpm's. The engine would have to be at temperature for it to...

    Fuel tank gauge update?

    I have a 2016 Big Horn with the 32 gallon tank. I've had the Auto Park update done and it did not fix the calibration of the fuel tank. When I asked the service manager at the dealer about it he kinda blew it off and said "ah, you can't trust those things anyway"

    Fuel sensor failed ?

    I had the same problem. P0463 code, the check engine light would come on once the gauge dipped below half. From there it would spontaneously drop to empty and then back to just below half in a matter of seconds while driving. I brought it to the dealer today and the total to fix was in the $1100...

    High Volume Dealer

    I do not know. I don't have experience with DD. I saw that the poster lived in Mass and figured I'd mention Artioli.

    Parksense sensor going crazy

    I've had my front ones go nuts too after a carwash on very cold days. It's never happened if its just raining though. When it happens I just hit the switch on the dash to disable them.

    Gas Tank - Range

    I have the 32 gallon tank too. I average around 12 mpg around town with not much highway driving on a regular basis. It is annoying that the gage will read empty with the DTE around 30 miles when I fill up and only get about 25 gallons in the tank. I've seen the DTE as high as 424 and as low as...

    Tonneau Cover VS Car Wash

    I have the Tyger trifold and go through an auto car wash at least twice a week. It is not a touch free one either.
