HD rear Coil Spring "Upgrade"
Hello, Back in December I bought a 2023 RAM 2500 diesel with the Laramie package. I was looking for something to pull our Grand Design Toy hauler. The toy hauler has a GVWR of about 16800 fully loaded. I know I should have bought a 3500 but this was too good a deal to pass up and I'm not...- bpd138

What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy
Yes Clay, that's the one. Back to the Steer wheels.......are you talking about the truck or the trailer. The only reason I ask is that the trailer has two axles and I wasn't sure if you were talking about distributing the weight in the trailer evenly between the two axles.- bpd138

What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy
At the risk of sounding ignorant, what do you mean by "Steer wheel" and "Drive axle"? The comment I made about buying a Class A RV was more tongue in cheek. As was suggested going the Class A route presents it's own set of problems. lol I've been looking at Forest River Travel Trailers, more...- bpd138

What Size Trailer/Camper to Buy
I would like to thank everyone for their input, it's been very helpful. I'm not a novice at towing trailer...........I just don't know anything about how to camp! lol Seeing as I just bought the truck a few months ago, I don't have any plans to trade it in just yet.

Factory Reset Question
Hi, I never ended up doing the hard reset. I did a radio reset through the engineering menu but not an actual hard reset back to factory defaults. I didn't want to take the chance of losing my Navigation. I'm sorry that you lost yours but it confirmed my initial fears of losing the navigation...- bpd138

Factory Reset Question
Ricks Ram - I tried both resets that you suggested but neither worked. I don't want to take a chance doing a "factory" reset and risk losing my navigation. I guess I'll have to live with it. lol Thanks for the suggestions though, it was very appreciated.- bpd138

Factory Reset Question
Thanks for the advice Ricks Ram. I have since discovered my radio is the Ra3 with dealer installed navigation. I will try doing the battery disconnect and soft reset and see if that solves the problem.- bpd138

Factory Reset Question
Thanks for the reply. How do I tell which model radio I have? The main reason I want to do a factory reset is because after I swapped out the gauge cluster for the premium one, the navigation prompts aren't showing up on the EVIC screen anymore. It shows the up coming turn and distance but not...- bpd138

8.4 update install question
I just did the update on my truck a couple of days ago. Unzip the downloaded file directly to your flash drive. You should only have two files the "swdl" and the "upd". it's best to reformat the flash drive in fat32 format before you put any files on it. My update went very smoothly with no...- bpd138

Upgrading Side Mirrors
Hello, I have a 2014 RAM 1500 Big Horn. It currently has the plain old heated side view mirrors without turn signals and puddle lights. I would like to upgrade these to mirrors with turn signals and puddle lights. I understand that I would need to have two sales codes added to make them... -
14 express premium cluster upgrade
Hello, Here's the update on my cluster upgrade. My gauge cluster got to Dominic on Wednesday and was on it's way back Thursday morning. It arrived Saturday. I had him program 75 miles more that my vehicle's current mileage. So today I hit the programmed mileage and swapped it out. The... -
Floor mat reviews?
I just put the Husky Weatherbeater's in my 2014 Ram Quad Cab. They fit great and the little spikes on the underside of them prevent them from sliding around. I'm very happy with the look, fit and finish. -
ITBM Sales Code
Hello, I apologize if this has been answered before but I have searched and searched and can't find the answer. I have a 2014 Dodge RAM 1500 Bighorn with the Hemi. I have installed the OEM Brake Control Module myself and I'm taking it to a dealer to have the sale code flashed. So the...- bpd138

14 express premium cluster upgrade
I shipped mine out Monday morning. It's been programmed and is on it's way back now. The tracking number says I should have it on Saturday. Dominic is awesome, he's a real nice guy to boot too. -
14 express premium cluster upgrade
He requires a "mileage Affidavit" to be filled out with your name, address, mileage on current vehicle, requested mileage etc, etc. I need to drive my truck while the gauges are out being programmed. I can go a day or two without driving my truck so I asked him to call me so I can get it exact... -
14 express premium cluster upgrade
Just got my premium cluster. I paid $175.00 shipped. It's going out tomorrow to be programmed. When the guy gets ready to program it he's going to call me to get my actual mileage, run and idle time and then add about 50 miles to it so I can drive my truck up to the programmed mileage and... -
Backup Camera at Night
Hello, I just picked up a used 2014 RAM 1500 Bighorn last week which I am loving. It has the tow package but to my surprise, no backup camera. So, the first thing I did was add a backup camera. I went with the PAC BCI-CH41 setup in case I wanted to add more camera's down the road. Everything...- bpd138

14 express premium cluster upgrade
I just got off the phone with the guy that'a going to program the cluster for me. He said that when they can't program an exact mileage into the cluster because the programmer does it in steps. He said it will be within about 50 miles. He will call me when he is going to program it so I can... -

Hello, I just picked up a 7" EVIC cluster for a good price but it has less mileage than my current one. I plan to have the correct mileage programmed into the new cluster but I want to wait for a couple of months until a time when I will be away on vacation and don't need the vehicle. My... -
Center Console Lid(s)
OK, I figured it out. As Quietpeen stated, the cover on the back of the center console just pulls off. Grab the bottom right corner and pull and it will come away. Once the cover is off you will see the screws to the main hinge. To get tot he screws for the top lid hinge you have to remove... -
Center Console Lid(s)
Any updates on this? I'm having the same problem. I just installed a backup cam with PAC BCI-CH41, pulled the dash apart, removed the radio etc and for the life of me I can't figure out how to get to the screws that attach the console lid.
