    AlfaOBD

    I ordered 2 new fobs with keys and the programming went great. I put my factory key in front of the raw key and sprayed it with red spray paint to make a pattern on the raw key. I used a small file to "cut" both keys to work in my door lock, works great. Spent $25 for both with 2 extra batts.

    Recommendations For Car Ramps

    I have the Rhino and sheet metal ramps and use and love the Rhino ramps. My tires are too wide for the sheet metal ones. The Rhino ramps seem very strong and wide enough for my tires to fit. They are light and stack for easy storage like the sheet metal ones.

I removed mine to cote the bottom side with stainless or copper foil as an RF shield and ground it, because i'm getting bad spark plug noise on my CB radio. In the old days I would just...

    Does anybody know that if their RAM 1500 was built before July it's not as safe as newer ones?

    Check for a recall. I just had my 2015 1500 in for the three recall repairs and including the tailgate fix they did an software upgrade to the occupant restraint module. I feel my truck is way safer than the 2006 Honda CRV I used to drive.

    Heads up--cabin air filter

    Here in PA, I pull mine out about Nov 1st and reinstall a new one about April 1st. I find I don't need It here in the winter and It adds restriction to my windshield defrost air flow and is faster without it. Don't have allergy problems in the winter either, except I'm allergic to work all year...

    8.4 radio issue does anyone else have this problem

    Always try disconnecting the negative battery lead for half an hour to reset the electronics when you reconnect it. It sounds like the programs in the CPUs of all the different electronics gets confused once in a while.

    Interior lights don't come on at night?

    Yep, I milked all the controls, It seems the truck computer is asleep. I mean after I start it at night the lights are there. If I get out and lock It and come back 20 min later (still at night) they come on when I use the fob to unlock the door. They come on when I open the door all the time in...

    TERRIBLE experience with Ram

    At 59 I think back at all the opportunities, I have been offered a extended warranty, on my vehicles, appliances, Sears power tools, Ebay, Amazon purchases and as always Harbor Freight "stuff" LOL. I can honestly say now that I have saved thousands of dollars by NOT buying the extended...

    Window power switch

    This would happen to me occasionally on my 2006 Honda CRV. I removed the negative battery cable for 20 min and that took care of resetting that function.

    First Oil Change........

    Dodge gave you the happy feeling program. When you push your oil reset button the program adds 2MPG to make you feel better for a while. I hand calculate mine and It's always 1MPG lower than the computer says, whether on winter or summer tires. If I coast down all my hills from work to home, 20...

    Does anyone know what this antenna is for?

    The Ebay link above (#8) says it might be a cell antenna/ wifi/ bluetooth antenna. Download a wifi signal strength app for your phone and see if it is "putting out" a signal. The truck may have a wifi hotspot unit hooked to this antenna.
