    Tutorial: Success with AlfaOBD over USB on my '09 1500 5.7

    Older thread, but I wanted to post here on my struggles with even the USB option after years of no success trying multiple Bluetooth ELM OBD2 scanners, and even the OBDLink CX (which says its supported for our model years). I found this thread and immediately ordered a Forscan ELM USB scanner...

    How To: 4 Ohm Resistor Upgrade For Aftermarket Dash Speakers

    Just did this mod, could definitely tell there was a volume difference between one with and one without the resistor, but not as much as I was expecting. Nonetheless, I definitely prefer this over what I had before, and now I'm less worried about distortion or overly loud highs. Also, as someone...

    No power, key stuck in ignition, wont shift out of park, truck is locked down... help!

    I've had this issue come and go for years now on my 2011. I only noticed it after putting in an aftermarket flash logic remote starter. While driving I'd have all electronics go wack, gauges act up or just turn off, sensors stop working, lights on dash, the whole lot. Eventually if I turned off...

    4th gen power/auto dimming mirrors

    Yea my original mirrors on my SLT (no puddle light) are the same size glass. I'm not sure on the year of the new (used) ones I bought, but I believe a 2016 or something. I've seen multiple other trucks with the same setup, smaller mirror glass, larger plastic bezel on the driver's side, then not...

    4th gen power/auto dimming mirrors

    Can I ask a question on the look of these two mirrors. I just purchased the same ones and noticed that the glass mirror size itself is smaller on the driver's side than on the passenger's side. From looking at your sale photos, I see the same thing. From taking both glass pieces of the mirrors...

    Need help! In the middle of installing backup camera, can’t find spot to run wires out of the cab!

    If it hasn't been said already, you can cut the e-brake rubber grommet under the the driver's side carpet and get the wires up through there. I wouldn't recommend it only because I've had a large coil of spare wire tucked up underneath the dash, but it definitely works.

    AlfaOBD

    Thanks for the info! I was hoping to get away with not having tospend anything on a new reader if I already had a working one. I'm contemplating ordering a cheap one off Amazon (Veepeak) that another Ram owner has that works for him. We shall see! What were your interface settings for the...

    AlfaOBD

    Hi folks. Got a 2011 Ram 1500, 5.7. I had originally tested the AlphaOBD demo app with my FIXD scanner tool before buying the full fledged app. My test was basically just that I could connect to the tool in the app. Now that I bought the app, and have connected the FIXD tool successfully (after...

    Front lifted higher than the rear WTH?

    Definitely agree that the rake is a bit excessive, they probably did it to compensate for the use of coil springs instead of leafs. My dad's 2013 chevy flexes the same amount with a 26' loaded camper trailer as my 2011 ram with a 18' boat lol. Both 1500s, but one is leaf, one is coil. This is...
