How do you permanently turn down the "new text message from..."
That's what the video in my post is showing, I am turning it down while it is reading the text but it immediately turns it back up to volume 15 next time.- mikepol2

How do you permanently turn down the "new text message from..."
Reviving an old thread to hopefully save someone some money and aggravation... At the advice of RamCares, I took my 2019 to the dealer to have the software updated from 21.14.14 to 22.34.11 to try and solve this problem. So tired of driving a truck that I can't pair my phone with because of...- mikepol2

Navigation Guidance
Yep the dealer tried that on both the old and new radios but no luck. Tried the nav-specific settings with the nav-only volume but same thing, adjusted to start at 2 but once you restart the truck it’s back at 15.- mikepol2

Navigation Guidance
Same here, it’s infuriating. Does the same with my iPhone, had to unpair it so I wouldn’t have a heart attack every time someone called while I was driving. Took it to the dealer and had a brand new radio installed and software updated but no difference. Has to be something with the Uconnect...- mikepol2

New Used 2019 Ram Electrical Problems
Damn Apple. I’ve tried every setting under the sun. At this point all that’s left is for a Uconnect software revision.- mikepol2

Uconnect Default Volume 15
OK just got home with a brand new radio installed and... no improvement. If I use the voice button on the steering wheel, navigation, or incoming call/text alerts, they all default to volume 15 no matter how many times I turn the volume down while a response is playing. Spent a while in the...- mikepol2

3.21 vs 3.92 real world
Just got back from a 160 mile highway trip, one way, and reset the trip computer when I started out. Mostly with cruise set at 77 mph, but lots of construction where it was 60. According to the trip computer I averaged 19.1 mpg. About 3-1/2 hrs, all highway except about the first 10 and last...- mikepol2

3.21 vs 3.92 real world
OK if you want to get all mathy… The only reason we care about gear ratio is because it controls the force applied to the road by the tires. At the same RPM and in the same transmission gear, a truck with 3.92’s applies more force to the road than a truck with 3.21’s. Therefore at the same...- mikepol2

3.21 vs 3.92 real world
What I meant was, you may be less inclined to give it more gas to make it downshift.- mikepol2

3.21 vs 3.92 real world
I think a lot has to do with how hilly your area is. I have the 3.92's and get about 15.5 mpg city / 21 hwy, and it's very hilly here. So I probably use less gas pedal going up hills than if I had 3.21's. Had a Silverado with 4.10's years ago after owning several with lower gear ratios and...- mikepol2

New Used 2019 Ram Electrical Problems
I just bought a used 2019 Big Horn with 23,000 miles about a month ago. Didn't notice on the test drive but the radio volume on incoming texts and on navigation is way too loud and no matter how many times you lower it, it goes back to being loud. Then the other day I pulled into a gas station...- mikepol2

Uconnect Default Volume 15
So luckily when I bought this truck used, for the first time I paid for an extended service contract. Took it in this week to have the radio looked at, they tried to update the software and/or firmware but were unable to do it and are ordering me a new radio! No charge. Hopefully this fixes the...- mikepol2

Thoughts on this setup
Coming from Silverados so I'm new to Ram leveling / lifts. Would like just a little bump on mine, like 1.5 - 2" front and 1-1.5" rear. With the Silvy's it's easy, just a couple spacers under the front struts and rear leafs. How does it work on Rams?
