    What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

    Finally got the '22 all lifted, my mechanic put in some hours getting my mixture of Thuren and Carli parts on there. Still need to go get a proper alignment to Thuren specs, but man the difference in ride is noticeable on the short 9 mile drive back from his shop. She just floats down the road...

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    CJC said they'll have them in stock over the next few weeks and will be able to ship them as an option with the full bezel conversion kit. I'll probably pull the trigger after family summer activities are over with.

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    I've gotta swap bezels being a laramie, CJC actually sells the whole kit so I just need to get with them and see when they'll have the gen 2 SAE's. I'd rather not hunt down all the parts myself like some of the other swaps I've done lately as sourcing Mopar parts has been hit or miss - mostly...

    Baja designs SAE Gen2

    Those output shots look great! Being unimpressed with the DD SS3 Pro Yellow SAE fogs I had on the 4th gen I've just kept the stock LED fogs on my '22, but seeing those output shots I think I'll be getting some those Gen 2 BD's in the future. I'll probably wait a bit for inventory to be...

    Harman Kardon vs Alpine - Limited Level 1

    IMO the factory HK system isn't worth it if you don't mind doing some minor upgrades to the Alpine system. If you plan on never touching the truck then go for the HK and just disable ANC (Either with AlfaOBD or the ANC bypass harness). The configuration in the 19+1500's is slightly different...

    Radio and Nav issues on 2022

    If you're not on 26.15 or 26.17 and the dealer didn't USB update it and it hasn't pulled an OTA then try updating and then factory resetting. When I got my radio module for my uConnect upgrade it was the latest revision and still shipped with ancient software that was full of bugs. I upgraded...

    Waze on UConnect 5

    You can blame Waze for that one, but they're not alone. Certain apps are unhappy when you're full screen on the vertical screens, same thing happens in my wifes Ford that also has a vertical screen like the rams. The simple fix I've found for now is to setup a home screen with the top half...

    After market radio installation

    Being that you have a 4th gen you've got tons of options for mostly plug and play aftermarket support. I went with iDatalink in my 4th gen when I went aftermarket for CarPlay and it retained everything I needed. Crutchfield is your friend on getting all the right parts and if you're not...

    More 12" uConnect problems

    What software version are you on as these things have been known to be very unreliable when it comes to picking up OTA updates. There are a few threads floating around out there with the links to S26.17 to pull down and USB update which has been known to resolve a number of issues. I came from...

    Any of you all run 'snake oil' oil additives?

    There are only really 3 oil additives I'd use these days depending on what I was trying to accomplish. HSS Stiction Eliminator - This stuff works great for sticking HEUI injectors, think older powerstrokes, but I wouldn't hesitate to use it to help "clean up" and engine that's been neglected...

    Upgraded Cluster LED Parking Brake out

    This should be a post in the 4th gen forum, however, yes. If you've set Alfa to LED for all the lights you want to remove any resistors or "canbus modules" as they'll just cause issues. Played this game with my 4th gen before I got everything changed in Alfa and then went and had to remove all...

    Anyone keep getting SiriusXM ad on every startup? Possible the dealer changed something?

    I believe if you go into the all apps section, find stored notifications, and then clear it, it should go away. Honestly at-first I was annoyed at having a connected services delete build, but seeing how many folks get random ads like this I'm happy to not have it.

    2022 3500 Cummins FleetGuard Filters

    I'm not talking about the nanonet up in the engine bay, only Fleetguard makes that filter. I'm talking about the 5 micron water seperator under the truck. We've not been able to find a fleetguard part for that thing.

    What's in your spare fuses and relay kit?

    Keep a couple of the square fuses for the trailer lights handy. One of our bumper pulls had a grounding issue with the tail lights that was blowing fuses until we could refresh the wiring on it. Happened out on the road so even if you managed to do a side of the road wiring repair you'd still...

    Highway Vibrations 2023 2500 CTD 4x4

    IMO the stock firestone tires are garbage. On both trucks they wore very quickly and balancing was an issue. That being said I like to run centramatic balancers and they work wonders. My Laramie with 315/70R18 Toyo OpenCountry M/Ts rides smoother down the highway than the Lonestar riding on...

    2022 3500 Cummins FleetGuard Filters

    We've been using the Baldwin filters and if you didn't see which box they came out of you can't tell them apart from the Mopar ones we've gotten. We haven't been able to find a Fleetguard rear separator cartridge and have come to the conclusion that Baldwin is the OE for Mopar talking to some...

    Did they ever get the ucoonect 5 8.4 inch problems fixed?

    The Non-NAV version is the one that sucks. I've been to the dealer a few times and had it updated since I cannot do it myself (Connected Services Delete thanks to RONA). I've finally got the module for the 12.1 on the way to go with the screen/bezel I've had sitting in my office closet for...

    2022 Ram 1500 Uconnect 5 NAV 8.4 Speaker Upgrade

    I did a full speaker "upgrade" on my 2500 with the Alpine system which is actively crossed over upfront. Your door speakers are only going to play some deeper mids and lows while everything higher up will be coming from the dash. In past FCA vehicles I really liked the Infinity References in...

    Is The Standard Output CTD Easier On The DPF Than the High Output One?

    The bigger factor will be how the truck is being operated, the quality of fuel it's being fed, and if it's having issues burning oil such as leaking turbo seals, worn rings, etc. A truck that's being worked or at-least mostly highway driven, fed good quality fuel, and well maintained without...

    P0402 Code

    It's been a couple of months now since I've seen a P0402. I did have one "Service Exhaust" pop on the dash without setting a CEL, but after replacing EGR crossover tube gaskets (really should come in the Monster Ram install bits) it hasn't been back. These trucks can be hit or miss since the...

    Tranny slipping?

    Yup what he said. 100% stock truck might not be as noticeable, but with my 36x13 Toyo's being out of T/H mode it races to 5th or 6th inappropraitely even though I'm recalibrated on tire size. In T/H it's actually quite a bit better about not being stupid, but the shift strategy could still use...

    Tranny slipping?

    It's one of those 68RFE things unfortunately and will start to get better after some miles, but not perfect if you just jump in and drive without T/H on. I'm running the PPE flat bottom pan, the PPE extended filter that comes with an integrated metal nipple, and the PPE TBV delete. Normally...

    P0402 Code

    Its the Banks CAI hands down due to the MAF sensor placement in the tube. Until I installed my monster ram I would get regular P0402's with just the CAI installed. I haven't seen one since the install, but if I do see another I'll be ditching the banks CAI for the S&B. I know for a fact that...

    Worried About the DPF? Read This. Replacing The DPF May Become a Thing of the Past

    It's that crazy cetane since most renewable diesel is north of 70. I really wish we could get it down here in Texas, but the best I can do is make sure I'm filling up on the right side of the TX LED cutoff line. In TXLED counties we at-least get mandated 48 cetane instead of the usual 40 cetane...

    Worried About the DPF? Read This. Replacing The DPF May Become a Thing of the Past

    True, but also not 100% true. You can use the same feed stocks that are used to make Biodiesel to make renewable diesel. Biodiesel just aims to take a Bio feed stock and make it into FAME (Fatty Acid Methyl Ester). These Esters have all the bad qualities that folks hate about Biodiesel with...
