    More 12" uConnect problems

    I know this is an older thread but... 1. UConnect sucks, and has since it's inception. 2007 Dodge 2500, 2016 RAM 2500, 2022 RAM 3500. All high trim levels. UConnect sucks. 2. For your wiper/Console issue: If the wipers are on for more than a few seconds, the system will automatically turn...

    Which DEF

    My dealer said that cold doesn't actually effect the DEF as much as the heat... not sure I believe that as the DEF has a line heater and no cooler. In any case, the DEF nozzle at my diesel pumps fits my DEF filler neck just fine. It can't fill at full flow rate without splashing all over, so...

    New to 6.7, Need some maintenance help

    Nope, Mine's a US model. I went back and looked... what I posted above is from the 1500 section. It's bizarre that the 1500 differs so much from the 2500+ models. Bottom line: Download the Diesel Sup for your year and model. In the 2016 25/35/45/55 sections: Oil Life Reset Your vehicle is...
