this will change every time for every one so its just an understanding of it with examples and a tape measure that you will need. Also level ground. And afterwards I really suggest the alignment just to reiterate.

Before you begin, if you still have off road 1 on you evic, don't panic. Keep the truck at off road 1. ******I should have started with this 3 posts ago. But it doesn't hurt anything. ******as a rebel packaged and off road capable, w/ off road pages, you should be read normal where off road one used to be. Go ahead and get to that height, tier 3 now. If it reads offroad 1 set it to normal. And do a sensor check. Raise/lower and return to the "3rd tier" height. If it doesn't read normal check bcm settings.

Run a sensor check. And if you have your passenger side riding high like both of mine you actually have to calibrate it to get it leveled. There is no cheating off a buddy here like I always see. It will help if you make a mistake but every spring is different. And don't think of these numbers as height settings. They are a set distance between 2 points at every wheel. So the higher sides number when entered should compute to lower that side/raise the other. Slamming in 100/90/75/60 is goofy. I guess if those guys are cool with it then awesome. But, if your going to do all this, ive used the common numbers I see often. When you look at your tailgate square from 10-15 feet it looks horrible. (Example given lol) so follow this good man's nicely laid out directions....

And again, clear any codes and back out and disconnect from the module and your Bluetooth device. Take a wiz, its helps the process. And take it for a drive or home. Try out aero mode and watch the nose tip town a tiny bit at 60+ mph. You may never notice it change heights again. Or you can pull fuses when its in off road 1. People do that to. It works. But I got it so u could load up with ease, and drive away in a non-hoopty kinda truck.

If I missed something I'm very sorry for all the hair that gets pulled. I didn't plan on a 3 hr spread of writing this up. And I never got into all my easy alfa crap. Like drls, set your truck as canadian. But, I haven't tried that on quads so.....ill show setting for never using another error cancellor, can bus kit, or resistor again. Ever. And if anybody vehicle is still running after any of that.

<< I have some tips on getting the splash screens you hoped for (its dependent on your overall modules) all the screen shots for the power fold tow mirrors i added to one, and how to mess with the radio, amp, and ANC, If you're an audiophile like I am, but I am getting in trouble at this moment so enjoy the constant ride height. >>

The last picture is the 2015 in entry and the 2017 in normal. The entry height will be higher than before. Fyi and my calibrated numbers if you had front left lean

It will eventually clear. You may have to cycle the truck on and off a few times.
But there's no harm in clearing the faults either.

Were you able to get rid of the park light out code?

First connect Bluetooth.
Hit the button that says Dodge ram
Select car model, ram 1500 or whatever you have.
Select function, body computer
Select control unit, body computer my 2013-17 power net (or whatever year you have)
Now hit the connect button.
After connected, at the bottom there is an icon that looks like an engine and it says check in it. Tap that.
Then hit and read all faults
Then hit clear faults

Probably been addressed in the last 1161 pages on this post, but I can't seem to find it.

I have a 2015 1500 Express, swapped my headlight housing to projector style (built in electrical and wiring to connect to the stock reflector plugs no harness needed) and added the MOPAR Morimoto harness/ballasts/HIDs for low beams. I also have LED fogs, switchboard LED turn signals / running lights (wired to the battery and an add a fuse for signal), LED marker lights (integrated in the aftermarket housing), and LED high bulbs.

Everything worked fine for about a year then my low beams would shut off for half a second and immediately come back on, would happen every minute or two. No CEL, no warning, just pop off and back on intermittently. TRS sent me out a whole new harness (4x resistors, capacitor, 2x relay) and everything worked again for about a month. It started doing the same thing of shutting off for a split second then coming right back on.

Bought ALFAOBD and turned on HID in the vehicle configuration settings, unhooked the HID harness completely and had a bulb to igniter, igniter to ballast, ballast to extension cable, extension cable to factory plug setup. After doing that my low beams would not turn on at all, still no CEL or error on my dash. Tried turning on LED low beams, BI Xenon, Quads on/off, LED/HID on together. Never got a CEL but the bulbs also never came on.

Put everything back to stock on ALFAOBD, hooked the harness back up, and everything works again now (but I suspect the lights will still continue to randomly shut off once I actually get on the road for any length of time).

Anyone got any input on why the HID setting seems to have been completely ignored by my 2015? It was enabled per ALFAOBD, but my truck didn't seem to care. Or any recommendations on how to stop my low beams from intermittently flickering with the TRS MOPAR harness?

What brand of led? Some led will always have park light out because the park side current goes to zero when the turn signals turn on. I hand this problem with 2 brands of switchback bulbs.
