    Uconnect 8.4 soft reboot

    So bringing this thread up. My 2018 Ram 1500 Sport, with the 8.4 Uconnect NAV system thinks I'm about 100 miles away from where I actually am. Tried all of the standard soft-reboot procedures, none of which worked. So I pulled the battery for an hour, and when I reconnected the battery, my...

    New 2018 Hydro Blue

    I was actually thinking of selling my stock 20x9 black rims that came with my 2018 Hydro Blue (I have Fuel 20 x 10 rims on now, running Nitto Ridge Grapplers). Still have the stock Goodyear GSAs on them, with basically zero mileage (stickers and all still on them). They're in my shed at...

    Got my Pedal Commander today.

    It doesn't directly change anything in the PCM/ECM, so it shouldn't affect your warranty at all. It's also easy enough to remove in a heartbeat IF you wanted to take it into the dealership for any warranty work. That being said, my 2018 has been fussy about throwing a CEL every now and then...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    I had it done at Mr. Detail in Burlington. $999 for a multi-layer ceramic coat, with a 10 year guarantee (not that I'm likely to keep the truck 10 years). I figured annual Krown + one-time ceramic coating were far cheaper than going the "Paint and Body Protection" that the dealership wanted...

    Pedal Commander

    I just installed mine on the weekend, and while I appreciate the greatly improved throttle response (City +3 for me, most of the time), I've noticed that it has a nasty habit of throwing CELs (P2138 or P2127) on a regular basis. Mostly due to changing modes while driving (I switched from City...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    Actually, I've seriously considered picking up a Ford Focus RS or VW Golf R (both with 6-spd stick) as a "toy" car to bomb around in, though I'm more likely to pick up a used BMW M2 in a couple of years to add to the stable instead. Any "toy" car I pick up would have to be a manual.... So I've...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    Yeah, parking is the major concern I have, but I rarely go downtown much anymore, so my biggest parking worry is actually Pearson Airport! I guess I'll see what that's like soon enough. Funnily enough, my wife never liked the M4, and she thinks the truck is juvenile, but she likes it, and...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    So I pulled the trigger, and traded in my M4 for an '18 Ram 1500 Sport (Hydro Blue) 4WD, with a few dealer installed accessories. It's only been 24 hours thus far, but here are a few of my thoughts on the RAM vs the BMW. Overall, I'm pretty happy with the move. The RAM is surprisingly more...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    Surprisingly, the only anxieties that I have with the M4 on a daily basis are that I’m going to gronch the front splitter (carbon fibre) parking it one day, or that I’m going to get busted driving it “enthusiastically” one day leaving the office. As to the SRT JGC, I had a ‘14 just prior to the...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    I’m sure I’ll miss the M4 on days when I feel like corner carving, but I did neglect to mention that my preferred summer toy is my ‘13 HD CVO Ultra Classic. Given the choice on a sunny day between a rip in the car and a ride on the bike, I’ll take the bike every time. And in the winter, I’m...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    Okay, so this is a question that’s appropriate to ask then. What made you switch from a Vette (or Z-car, which I honestly looked at as well prior to the M4) to the Ram? Any regrets in the Ram as a daily driver vs a sports car? Patrick

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    No garage at home....both the M4 and Escape live outdoors year-round, so garage fitment isn’t an issue. That’s one of the thoughts I’ve been having, but honestly the itch that the M4 scratches is one that’s likely to get me arrested. Seriously though, it’s a wickedly fun car, but from a...

    Moving from BMW M4 back to Ram Sport 1500...'18 (with discounts) vs '19?

    Okay, so this is about my second post on here, and I'm literally torn in the direction to go. I've had my 2016 BMW M4 for about 2.5 years, and while it's an awesome car, I really never get the chance to enjoy it the way it's meant to be driven (it's basically my daily driver / commuter, rarely...

    Configurator is up

    This is the same debate I'm having right now as well. Big discounts on '17 and '18 models in stock, but I'm still quite interested in the 2019 refresh (the new interior is awesome, though the exterior is an incremental upgrade in my opinion). If I had a good idea of what my ideal config on a...
