What kind of mileage are you getting with a Hemi and 3.92 gears?
Ok, I guess I should also say that I'm going by the the mpg that the display is saying, I guess I need to figure it by hand to make sure it's accurate. In hindsight I may have a heavy right foot, but I doubt that cuts it by 5-6 mpg... But I could be wrong- Da Slug

I must be doing something wrong, I bought my 2019 1500 Classic in August. And I've never gotten close to 15 mpg. It's the 5.7 hemi, crew cab and the 3.21. I drive mostly city and I don't think I'm that aggressive of a driver. I've been looking at some sort of bed cover, will that get me up to...- Da Slug

Trailer running lights
Yes, I guess that is a possibility, like I said, I wired it myself, but I didn't have any charging problems that I know of and I used that truck for 15 years. I was thinking it was the way my Silverado's running lights were set up. Oh well, thanks anyway.- Da Slug

Trailer running lights
I just recently bought a 2019 Ram 1500 and I use it to pull my travel trailer, which it does very well. What I was wondering, was, the running lights on the camper used to come on as soon as I plugged them in on my old Silverado (which I had wired myself) and now the only way the lights come on...- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
Ok, so I don't think I'm stupid, but I am impatient sometimes, which gets similar results in the self auto repair business. Anyway, I got my computer flashed and my trailer brakes working (although I haven't pulled the camper anywhere yet). Turns out, after watching several different youtube...- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
I'm waiting for the factory control module to be delivered (today), but I did receive the security bypass cable yesterday and I connected that. I thought I'd try and see if that made a difference, it hasn't yet, but I was trying to backup my settings before I did anything else. I found the...- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
I ordered the one Crash posted, I'm not sure how much I'll use this whole setup once and if I get my trainer brakes working, but this is why I love these forums, so many people willing to help.- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
That was one of the other things I was going to ask, but forgot...do I need the security bypass cable? Also, when I get into the alfa app, there are like 5 different versions for the 2019 model, not sure which one to use. Thanks- Da Slug

I guess I should also add, that I am using the OBDlink LX, not the recommended MX+, hopefully that doesn't make a difference. I am able to connect with the computer using the alfaobd app.- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
I bought something called YCT module kit 82215040AC on Amazon. It is plugged into the controller port (that is I used the wiring harness that I found behind the dash) and the trailer brakes do work, I just can't adjust the power to them and there is no on screen prompts. I have since ordered a...- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
If they were going to charge $200-$300 I would consider it, but they want a grand. I guess that includes the original factory parts and installation but i'd rather take a wack at it myself first. I'm definitely going to backup my configuration first though.... Thanks for everyone's input.- Da Slug

Thank you, I was thinking that might be the case, so I ordered one from Mopar yesterday. I hope this works.- Da Slug

Flashing computer for trailer brake
Hello, I recently bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic with the intention of pulling my travel trailer. I had been test driving several trucks over a few days and most had the integrated trailer brake controller. I guess when I finally decided on the Ram, I forgot to notice that it did not have the...- Da Slug
