    2017 Uconnect Android Auto & Apple Carplay

    https://gromaudio.com/store/all-chru.html For me the cost ($629) and the lack of touch screen make it not a viable solution for me. I have one of those $100 7" add on screens ....not ideal but it works for carplay and I keep by touchscreen. Hard to argue with the price of hte add on screen.

    Hole in back of the 115v power inverter cubby

    I use that plug to charge my little battery jump starter twice a year. It's handy to have it in the truck and be able to top it up on a long drive.

    How Many Have Been Using Their Block Heater This Winter?

    I use my block heater whenever the overnight temp is -15C or lower. If it is really cold outside I also have a heated battery blanket and a 2 amp smart charger on a second cord. I use a timer to turn them on about 3 hours before my departure time. Makes a huge difference in how fast it warms up...

    Paint for Ram Side Steps

    I have a set of black Ram Side steps on my 2016 Ram 1500. The steps are holding up well except for the area were by foot goes the paint has worn off. I have the driver's seat set are far back as it will go which means that when I step out of the truck my foot contacts the side step not on the...

    Ready for a laugh?

    So I noticed 10-12 drops of oil on my driveway. I looked underneath my 2016 Ram 1500 Sport and noticed the front of the transfer case was covered in oil. This was in the area of the front seal. I thought my seal was leaking so I decided to book an appointment to get it repaired (I am getting too...

    Having stereo read text messages

    Turning on Bluetooth uConnect "Show Notifications" fixed the problem. I now get a pop up on the truck screen that I can tap and have the text message read to me while I am driving.

"Show in CarPlay" is turned on even though I don't have CarPlay. "Show Previews" is set to Always. "Customize Notifications" is...

    2016 Ram 1500 with the 8.4 Stereo. I have it paired via Bluetooth with my iPhone. I used to get a pop up message on the truck screen when I got an incoming text message and I could tap the truck screen and have the text message read to me. I was playing around with my iPhone one day and now I no...

    question for the "northerners"

    I have to park outside and we have long spells of -20 to -30 C weather. I plug in my 5.7 whenever it is below -15 C. Just makes the startup so much easier. I run a timer so the block heater is only running for 3 hours and I also use a heated battery blanket. On startup my coolant temp is usually...

    T20 sunglasses pocket screws

    I used those screws to mount the head unit of my icom radio. I had to get longer screws but found them in an auto parts store with the correct thread. They were on one of those racks that have all the trim repair parts.

    Hemi carnage - All 8 intake valves bent after cam swap

    Just speculating here .....What about the possibility of bumping the cam bearing backwards out of position during the installation of the new cam? The new cam runs OK with the assemble lube but then seizes up due to lack of oil and that shears off the dowel pin on the cam phaser?

    Yes the 3rd brake light antenna mount is cool but the pricing on them is crazy expensive.

    -32 C...No start

    Come out this morning and its -32 C. Had the truck plugged in on a timer for 4 hours but it was a no crank/no start. The stock battery has lost its mojo in the cold. Looks like I will be shopping for the biggest/most powerful replacement battery I can stuff in there. I think I will also get a...
