    no there is NOT an option to have DRL stay on with headlights that I have seen and from a manufactures POV I dont see why they would make it an option could disable DRL and wire the lights to an ignition source not "ideal" but it would be close to what you want

    the CBC I/O options are for setting the Input / OUTPUT on the BCM and that feature would be for dedicated DRLs like on Chargers - A light that is ONLY for DRL and NOT wired in on USDM trucks as far as I know in Canada the HIGH LINE projector headlights use the dedicated DRL for lighting the LED...

    sorry for taking so long I would assume the ENGINE and BODY are the 2 that you would NEED to update the VIN on I have not tried as there is no "need" to when changing modules on the truck if I had to guess worst thing to happen is SOME system would complain about VIN mismatch and you would...

    if your MAC is "intel" based and NOT M1 based you can use bootcamp and install windows 10 on it dual boot OR run a virtual machine with windows 10 in it you do NOT NEED to buy a licence for windows 10 and it will keep working with a "watermark" permanently on the desktop and places like SCDKEYS...

    what are you trying to do? I have installed different modules and rewrote the VIN to my "NEW" cluster almost positive every module has a VIN rewrite option I have NOT heard any issues with VIN mismatch these are NOT GM vehicles that are "VIN LOCKED" and throw out MANY errors OR refuse to work...

    Inside cab corner rust on my 2019 Ram 1500 crew cab.

    I know dead thread but my 14 RAM in Canada has about the SAME amount of rust there I "flex film" the thing yearly or more - every time it is on the pit at work mine is a quad cab 4X4

    Bad software choices - can some things be modded?

    I have no proof but was told the throttle delay is emissions related and "intentional" not a HW / SOFTWARE stack "issue" it is to allow the closed loop emissions systems to "keep up" with the engine - also why modern engines "hang" when you release throttle to shift a stick shift car the HVAC...

    did you use alpha to program? or just installed? if yes doublecheck every setting you made / have and check for ABS codes in ABS module + BCM for error codes if no inspect your install for loose plugs in dash also try re installing the original switch panel without the AUX+trailer brake and see...

    this sounds like a NEW one LED's normally cause "light out" on DIC but continue to work normally I would revert the truck BACK to Halogen and make sure the truck still works normally OR if the issues continue also check the fuses for a blown fuse - I had a Chevy that LED lights would blow a...

    NO Dealer will be able to "add DRL's - they struggle to add them in Canada to USA trucks and even reflashing sales codes into a Canadian truck with a "bricked" BCM will NOT turn on the DRLs I had to "manually" enable them with alpha and it works CBC Features: DRL Configuration Select...

    the DRL lights DO NOT come on unless engine is running AND the trans is in drive / reverse AND the park brake is released - basically you have to be driving for them to come on best way to see them is pull infront of a shop with windows and look at your reflection as you pull in or have a...
