    Bed Topper for Rambox

    The topper isn’t secured in the stake holes but bolted to the truck body itself. I installed a slide in the bed too so I never have to crawl in the bed again.

    Softtopper

    I'm still looking for a hard bed cover (not tonneau) that might fit a Ram-box 6.4 bed. I love the Ramboxes and don't want to lose them, but I wish I had a rear cover the same height as the truck cab.

    Factory tire pressure recommendations

    thnx for the info guys. I guess tire pressure is like favorite beer. I'm gona' go w/ 70 front, 75 rear and see what I lose tonight ; temps should go down to zero. In two days I should be in 10-20 below temps. I know I'm expecting "square" rubber in the mornings, and I just don't want too much...

    Factory tire pressure recommendations

    2016 2500, 6.4L. LT 275/70/R18 . I know the door jam sticker says 60 psi front, 80 psi rear. But why ? Isn't the engine heavier over the front most of the time. (not loaded, not towing) If the back end is loaded down it seems like 80 makes sense, but even then...80 is the max cold psi on the...

    What DON'T you like about your RAM?

    I wish the seat heater got as warm (hot) as my old Chevy Duramax. Even my wife's Equinox seats get really warm compared to my 16 RAM. Also the Chevy seat heater could be "back only" which I loved yr round after playing golf. The RAM seat heater is all or nothing. But still, up here in Ak it's a...

    Do you take off as soon as the engine starts?

    I live in Alaska. I'd love to remote start some mornings & have the seat/steering wheel warm up also. Is there any way to get those "warmers" to come on w/ remote start ? As it is, I can't turn them on till I push the "Start" button, once I get inside. The defroster/heater will come on - if I...

    MY last post on Uconnect upgrade to 18.445 (I hope). I called Uconnect this morning to tell them my dealer is full of "cod shite". A nice rep named "Mark" had me go thru what I did in detail. When I read him the 5 files (just like the website shows) on the USB he asked me if they were...

    Still trying to do it myself via website download. I've tried several diff makes of USB flash drives, and reformatted them different types. Nothing works. My dealer told me today "if its Uconnect problems, call Uconnect & they'll do it for you OTA". Uconnect tells me to "take it into the...

    ROLL-UP INFO: FOTA 18.11.x & uC D/L 18.45.01 SW Update 13-17 RA3/Vp3-NA & Ra4 VP4-NA

    That could be some folks troubles. But not mine. I called and was told the update had "bugs" and that it was being worked on. That's all I know. The instructions online for the 17.43 update gave detailed instructions about "unzipping" files. But the new online instructions for the 18 .??update...

    Flash- this just in from Uconnect. The 18.45 update that is download (able) from the drive.uconnect website - DOES NOT WORK. The nice lady told me that "Management says they are working on a fix but none is avail yet". She said several people called yesterday to say (like I was telling her) "the...

    Thanks so much. Question -who is this Media Fire bunch. I guess you used it so we can know for sure that its safe for us to download & upload. If it goes bad does using it void our FCA warranty since we didn't et it from them ? thnx

    Uconnect 8.4 soft reboot

    I "was told" by Uconnect rep that you can only do this procedure if the pop-up message is present. My truck only displays the pop-up at intersections and sharp curves in the rd. & then disappears before I can react. Never when I'm sitting still.

    I downloaded the 17.43.01 on Sun Oct 27. Got completely through the whole deal and files check w/ the website's. info. Haven't done it yet. My truck's got the 18.43 pop-up "jammed" in its memory and nothing Uconnect says to do helps. "Take it to your dealer" is all I get. Wish there was another...
