    Installed my steering wheel audio controls.

    I added them too, when I swapped out the steering wheel for a leather wrapped one. It's stupid lower models don't come with such a basic thing that is expected in this day and age.

    power at rearview mirror console for dashcam?

    There is power at the rear view mirror when the truck ignition is on. That's how mine is done. Here is an old thread I found from someone else. https://www.ramforum.com/threads/removing-rear-view-mirror-and-auxiliary-12v-power.41458/ I used this wiring harness...

    Test tones

    Guys, don't make the gain controls out to be a bigger deal than they are, even if a lot of audio forums suggest they almost requires a Phd to us them. They're simply a sensitivity adjustment to adjust the amps required input voltage to match the sources output voltage. That's it. If the gain is...

    Test tones

    I never use any tones to set gains, I just set the gains so that the system plays the loudest at the volume level I want. Usually set to something somewhat below the head units maximum volume level, so that I have some volume left for lower output recordings. I use a Audio Control lc2i pro. That...

    Test tones

    Just out of curiosity what do you want to use the test tones for?

    Sound deadening cost

    I would not recommend anything asphalt based like Peal and Seal. Use something meant for vehicles that is butyl based.

    Test tones

    You can play them as a MP3 or any other readable format through a thumb drive, or through a phone. You can also download signal generators to your phone, that way you can play a sine wave of any frequency you want.

    Normal or Abnormal shifting behavior?!?

    That doesn't sound normal to me. I have a 2019 Gen 4, and mine shifts the smoothest at lower speeds, even though it's always smooth. Every once in a while, it'll seem to shift more than once, but it's subtle, and not what I'd call jerky at all.

    what is Rear View Camera Delay

    Yeah, it's as decribed. I turned mine off, because it annoyed me to have the reverse camera on, after I was already going forward. I saw no purpose in it.

    Tiny pain chip repairs

    Better yet, get a kit from Dr Color Chips. WAY better than a paint pin. I bought a Mopar paint pen, then the Dr Color Chips kit, and never even used the pen.

    Adding Factory Subwoofer to 6 speaker 8.4 in 2016 BigHorn EcoDiesel

    Yeah, you'd be better off with an aftermarket sub. Something like a powered JL Audio micro sub, while not exactly cheap, it even has a built in amp to simply the install, and I believe the 8" model fits under the seat.

    2019 warlock steering wheel?

    If you don't have the radio controls, my truck didn't (and I too was surprised by this), they can be added pretty easily. I added them when I swapped out my steering wheel for a factory leather wrapped one. The electrical plugs are already there, so it's plug and play.

    Decision 4;56 or 4:88

    I can't stay away from them, as they were installed about 2 years ago, but yeah, if some of the gears are junk like for our trucks, that's a good idea I suppose.

    Decision 4;56 or 4:88

    I have Nitro 4.10's in my TJ Wrangler. They're dead quiet and no problems at all. Maybe different applications are better than some others, who knows.
