    Premium 7" EVIC defaults to TPMS screen

    Two years ago I upgraded my 2014 RAM 1500 to the 7" premium cluster out of a 2018 RAM 2500. At random, about 8 or 9 times out of ten it started up on the "Vehicle Settings" screen (usually set to TPMS) instead of "Speedometer" (where I always leave it). Here's the interesting thing. Two...

    2014 ram fix Led Light Error alphaobd

    Wow, the rear marker going out when the brake is applied is a HUGE hint. It reminds me of a similar problem a friend of mine had back in the 70's. Whenever he applied the brakes on his car one of the rear tail lights would go out. It took him forever to figure out what was going on but as I...

    2014 ram fix Led Light Error alphaobd

    I agree that even if the computer is set for LED's it doesn't seem you should have the error. I'm sure it's very frustrating. For some reason the computer must be measuring too much resistance on one of your bulbs thereby thinking it's burned out. As a last ditch effort you might try...

    2014 ram fix Led Light Error alphaobd

    I ordered a couple of 8 ohm/50 watt resistors because I was concerned about them getting too hot with a lower wattage resistor. If you're still using stock incandescent bulbs I don't why you are getting the error. To correct the error when using LED bulbs the resistor is wired in parallel with...

    Tow mode or not ?

    I have a 2014 RAM Hemi with 6 speed auto. I've set it up so it defaults to Tow/Haul every time I start it because it drives and shifts so much better. Most of my driving is around town and if I'm not in Tow/Haul mode the transmission drives me nuts always hunting for another gear and shifting...

    The dreaded rear area water leak! 2019 bighorn.

    I did this fix using (new thicker gasket) about a year ago and it worked great. Can't imagine anyone thinking silicone is a good idea when it comes time to replace a bulb.

    2015 7" premium instrument cluster upgrade

    A couple months ago I upgraded the 3.5" cluster in my recently acquired 2014 Ram 1500. I bought a Premium 7" cluster on Ebay from the "Instrument Cluster Store". Very happy with their service and the quality of the panel. Prices range all over the place, but unless you are really lucky, it's...

    2014 ram fix Led Light Error alphaobd

    I was having the same problem and ran across your post. Parking Light Out fault whenever I braked or used the turn signal, but only when the lights were on. I also tried every setting imaginable with alphaobd. So I finally added an 8 ohm/50 watt resistor in parallel to the parking light...

    Alphaobd and resistors

    I'm having the exact same problem on my 2014 ram. Did you ever get the "Parking Light Out" to go away? I've read a lot of threads, but none that have a good solution.

    Longtubes with Cats, what muffler/exhaust are you running and does it drone?

    Sometimes pictures help. Here is the MagnaFlow compared to the stock muffler. Works well with the long tube ARH. Direct fit, very nice.

    Longtubes with Cats, what muffler/exhaust are you running and does it drone?

    I have the exact same headers and setup on my 2014 5.7 hemi 6-speed. Installed the MagnaFlow 6 months ago. Amazon link is https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07M79ZD68/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1. Looks like the price has gone up, but it was very easy to install. Has...

    Question on Locking Lug Nuts

    Here are a couple screenshots showing the equipment listing from the website https://fcacommunity.force.com/RAM/s/equipment-listing I also have a 2014 Ram and my listing is six pages long. Locking lug nuts are listed in the Options section and don't show up until the last page. I just tried...

    Exhaust

    Just curious... If you have nothing from the cats back, where do you have your MagnaFlow 19439 (as shown in your signature)?

    Slow reaction of overdrive could give me a speeding ticket

    I had similar issues with my 2014 Express with 5.7 Hemi 6-speed until I change the Tow/Haul so it defaults to Tow/Haul mode (think Sport mode). The shift points are so much better. Drives like a "normal" truck now. Don't notice any difference in fuel economy.

    Exhaust

    Four months ago I put a MagnaFlow on my 2014 Ram Express with 5.7 Hemi. Love the sound. Nice and mellow tone and no drone. Best part is it was a direct fit replacement. Easy to remove the stock muffler and replace it with the new one. Here's a link to the one I bought on Amazon. Yes, kind...

    3.21 gear ratio on 35s

    Switching from a 3.21 to a 3.92 rear end is definitely significant (22%), while switching from 32" tires to 35" tires is only a 9% change. Look at it this way, assuming 4th gear (1:1 tranny ratio)... At 2000 rpm with your original 32" tires, speed is 59 mph At 2000 rpm with the new 35" tires...

    New Ram owner. I crossed over. I may have made the wrong choice

    The 65RFE also has 2 overdrives, although the lower gears are not what I would call "optimized". There's hardly any difference between 2nd and 3rd. Very strange, but it is what it is. The shift points are also very strange unless you drive in "Tow/Haul" (Sport mode). I have made "Tow/Haul"...

    How to make “Tow/Haul” default mode for $32

    Tow/Haul tends to keep the transmission in lower gears and also uses the transmission/engine to help slow down so I suspect mileage is not improved. However, the shift pattern is vastly improved - makes it shift like a normal truck. It's as someone else pointed out - think of it as "Sport Mode".

    Alfaobd

    Yes, for those folks that are lucky enough (or in this case unlucky enough) to have a 2018 or newer Ram, the first step is to get a security bypass cable. I see the $55 KOAdTech cable is temporarily out of stock. There's another security bypass (AEV Procal that's available on...

    Alfaobd

    With regard to the ELM327 interfaces, it's easy to be confused because there are many different brands of this type of scan tool and they're not all created equal. From the alphaobd website... "ELM327-based Bluetooth/USB/ WLAN interface: There are many suppliers of such interfaces, make sure...

    Alfaobd

    Not sure, but the more expensive "OBDLink MX+" for $120 on Amazon may be able to connect to more computer modules than the $13 Obdator ELM327 from Amazon. However, I have the Obdator ELM 327 and can confirm it has no problem connecting to the "Body Computer" and the "Radio Frequency Hub...

    I watched the video... The Gymkana 994 electronic key making machine would have made it much easier! I'll be the first to admit, the key I cut/filed by hand doesn't look exactly like the factory key but it does work. Fortunately, the manual key sees very little use. Believe it or not, I know...

    Alfaobd

    Regarding spare key fobs, I've had very good luck with Aupoko GQ4-53T Keyless Entry Remote Key Fob ($14.99 on Amazon). I've programmed three of them using alphaobd and they all worked great (2014 & 2016 Ram 1500's). Your 4-digit PIN can also be displayed with the current version of alphaobd so...

    How to make “Tow/Haul” default mode for $32

    Did you mean temporary tow/haul "enable" instead of disable? Regardless, as interesting as the info is, it is not valid for Gen 4 - or at least not valid for the 2014 Ram Express I have. I've tried pressing and holding the "Traction Control" button for five seconds, but that doesn't do...
