Help with Emissions Readiness (O2 and Catalyst not ready)
I read somewhere else that heated o2 will pass once you turn off the ignition, which mine does. I’ve only seen my EGR pass once I turn off the ignition as well (for the current drive cycle… once I start the engine, a new drive cycle begins). Since my last code reset, I am still waiting on...- WildWeasel

Help with Emissions Readiness (O2 and Catalyst not ready)
I used “car scanner” app and at your suggestion I tried another app, this time “auto doctor”. I got the same results- only two monitors not ready since last reset (O2 and catalyst). For current drive cycle it started showing 5 not ready. Once I run it and turn off truck then o2 heater and EGR...- WildWeasel

Help with Emissions Readiness (O2 and Catalyst not ready)
I have a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 with 180k miles. It runs great and no codes. I removed my battery cables about 400-500 miles ago as I was repairing my stereo. Since then I put a scanner on it and noticed that the system isn’t ready (it could have not been ready before battery disconnect, but...- WildWeasel

Nerf bar torque specs?
The factory nerf bars on my 2009 Dodge Ram were rattling a bit so I tightened them up a bit, but not too tight as I figured these were using riv-nuts. Does anyone know the torque specs of the brackets where they attach the the body? I didn’t want to over tighten them and I can’t find the specs...- WildWeasel

Locking tailgate options (2009 Ram w/o manual lock)
From what I’m reading, the early 2009s came without a tailgate lock and this kit relies on the factory lock… so this one doesn’t work with my early 2009 without a manual lock on my tailgate. If someone knows otherwise please let me know- this kit looks good.- WildWeasel

Locking tailgate options (2009 Ram w/o manual lock)
I need to be able to lock my tailgate as I have a topper with valuables inside. I have a 2009 without manual locks. I saw one on e-trailer, but it says you must have factory manual lock for it to work. Are there any options for me to have an auto lock (using key fob)? I see that I can buy...- WildWeasel

Replace head unit (2009 Ram 1500 w/ alpine)
I recently purchased a 2009 ram with the alpine radio. The radio works, but the touch screen is dead so I can’t access all the features. I see you can buy a used head unit for around $200 on eBay. I am not an audiophile, but it would be nice to be able to connect my phone to the stereo. Im...- WildWeasel
