    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Finally got the '22 all lifted, my mechanic put in some hours getting my mixture of Thuren and Carli parts on there. Still need to go get a proper alignment to Thuren specs, but man the difference in ride is noticeable on the short 9 mile drive back from his shop. She just floats down the road...

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    CJC said they'll have them in stock over the next few weeks and will be able to ship them as an option with the full bezel conversion kit. I'll probably pull the trigger after family summer activities are over with.

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    I've gotta swap bezels being a laramie, CJC actually sells the whole kit so I just need to get with them and see when they'll have the gen 2 SAE's. I'd rather not hunt down all the parts myself like some of the other swaps I've done lately as sourcing Mopar parts has been hit or miss - mostly...

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    Those output shots look great! Being unimpressed with the DD SS3 Pro Yellow SAE fogs I had on the 4th gen I've just kept the stock LED fogs on my '22, but seeing those output shots I think I'll be getting some those Gen 2 BD's in the future. I'll probably wait a bit for inventory to be...

    Harman Kardon vs Alpine - Limited Level 1

    IMO the factory HK system isn't worth it if you don't mind doing some minor upgrades to the Alpine system. If you plan on never touching the truck then go for the HK and just disable ANC (Either with AlfaOBD or the ANC bypass harness). The configuration in the 19+1500's is slightly different...

    Radio and Nav issues on 2022

    If you're not on 26.15 or 26.17 and the dealer didn't USB update it and it hasn't pulled an OTA then try updating and then factory resetting. When I got my radio module for my uConnect upgrade it was the latest revision and still shipped with ancient software that was full of bugs. I upgraded...

    Waze on UConnect 5

    You can blame Waze for that one, but they're not alone. Certain apps are unhappy when you're full screen on the vertical screens, same thing happens in my wifes Ford that also has a vertical screen like the rams. The simple fix I've found for now is to setup a home screen with the top half...

    After market radio installation

    Being that you have a 4th gen you've got tons of options for mostly plug and play aftermarket support. I went with iDatalink in my 4th gen when I went aftermarket for CarPlay and it retained everything I needed. Crutchfield is your friend on getting all the right parts and if you're not...

    More 12" uConnect problems

    What software version are you on as these things have been known to be very unreliable when it comes to picking up OTA updates. There are a few threads floating around out there with the links to S26.17 to pull down and USB update which has been known to resolve a number of issues. I came from...

    Any of you all run 'snake oil' oil additives?

    There are only really 3 oil additives I'd use these days depending on what I was trying to accomplish. HSS Stiction Eliminator - This stuff works great for sticking HEUI injectors, think older powerstrokes, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it to help "clean up" and engine that's been neglected...

    Upgraded Cluster LED Parking Brake out

    This should be a post in the 4th gen forum, however, yes. If you've set Alfa to LED for all the lights you want to remove any resistors or "canbus modules" as they'll just cause issues. Played this game with my 4th gen before I got everything changed in Alfa and then went and had to remove all...

    Anyone keep getting SiriusXM ad on every startup? Possible the dealer changed something?

    I believe if you go into the all apps section, find stored notifications, and then clear it, it should go away. Honestly at-first I was annoyed at having a connected services delete build, but seeing how many folks get random ads like this I'm happy to not have it.

    2022 3500 Cummins FleetGuard Filters

    I'm not talking about the nanonet up in the engine bay, only Fleetguard makes that filter. I'm talking about the 5 micron water seperator under the truck. We've not been able to find a fleetguard part for that thing.

    What's in your spare fuses and relay kit?

    Keep a couple of the square fuses for the trailer lights handy. One of our bumper pulls had a grounding issue with the tail lights that was blowing fuses until we could refresh the wiring on it. Happened out on the road so even if you managed to do a side of the road wiring repair you'd still...

    Highway Vibrations 2023 2500 CTD 4x4

    IMO the stock firestone tires are garbage. On both trucks they wore very quickly and balancing was an issue. That being said I like to run centramatic balancers and they work wonders. My Laramie with 315/70R18 Toyo OpenCountry M/Ts rides smoother down the highway than the Lonestar riding on...
