    2013 tunes

    Apple car play and Android auto are built into the aftermarket radio head units. If you truck didn't come with a GPS antenna or a back up camera you would need to add those to the truck for them to work.

    08 manual transmission shifter knob removal

    On the 2500's you pop off the part of the knob with the shift pattern on it, once it's off there is a nut you loosen. I don't know if 1500's are the same, but its worth a shot.

    2013 Ram 2500 Cummings Dead Dash

    The third brake light is a common area to leak on these trucks and will leak like what you are experiencing. I had that issue with mine and had to seal the third break light with silicone to fix the issue.

    2013 Ram 2500 Cummings Dead Dash

    I believe you can change out the RFhub and program it yourself with Alfaobd for much less, the RFhub is only about $150, Alfaobd is a phone/computer app you would have to purchase, and you would also need an OBD2 Bluetooth adapter. If you search on this forum for Alfaobd and RFhub you should be...

    Best shocks? 2500

    On my truck I have Thuren leveling coils in the front, when I installed them I also installed Bilstien 5100's all the way around. The ride was as good as stock with the leveling kit installed, or maybe a little better, but on small bumps the Bilstein's seemed harsh to me. I ran the 5100's for...

    New Radio Installed

    I have an older Pioneer 4200 stereo, on it my rear speakers are set off by default. When I first installed it and any time I disconnect the stereo or the battery I have to go into the settings on the deck and turn the rear speakers back on. If your pioneer does the same thing, and somehow your...

    Adding a front facing USB Port (or USB-C) to console

    I used something similar to that adapter in my truck and just mounted it in the hole for the factory usb plug that my truck had on the passenger side of the center stack.

    Traction control

    If you pull the ABS fuse it completely disables the traction/stability control nannies on your truck, or you could buy this kit and have it on a toggle switch.

    Am I bad at shifting? Or……

    I've had a few manual trans Cummins trucks, when up shifting I always had to keep my foot slightly on the throttle to shift smoothly and keep the rpm's from dropping off too much and causing a clunk.

    '91 Speedometer signal

    I had a 91 W250 with the Cummins, it had an electronic speedometer that only worked when it wanted to for a long time. The issue with mine ended up being a bad connecter at the sensor on the trans, once I replaced the connector it worked good as new.

    Alpha guru’s

    Don't know if you've gotten this fixed yet, but when I did it I didn't do a "static ecu initialization", I did an "ABS Initialization" they appear to be right next to each other in the app.

    Steering Wheel "rocks back and forth" in constant radius turn

    I had a bad U-joint in the front axle cause my steering to behave in the same way.

    What is this tube?

    That looks like the exhaust pressure sensor, it shouldn't have any liquid in it, just exhaust gasses. I don't know why it could cause your trans to shift different though.
