    If you can wait, Black Friday deals may offer larger discounts. That's when I got mine last year. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Adding USB ports to rear console

    Glad it worked for you. For the center bezel, 2 on top, and take the top insert out. Depending on your year, there may be an additional torx screw in the right hand cubby. Then pull straight out with some force by grabbing where the top 2 screws were. It's held in very securely by many clips...

    Adding USB ports to rear console

    Check the fuse (F90/91, I think) for the rear power outlet and see if you can move it from battery to the ignition position. Might solve your issue. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I have a crew cab with the center seat. The vent plate comes off with the vents attached. I ran wires from the right side under the HVAC tube because it does bend upward from the floor to seal with the vents. With more patience the wires could go over the tube as well. Sent from my SM-N950U...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Wife approved [<-- BONUS] a rear seat, USB port install because the kids couldn't charge their 100 devices last trip. Boggles my mind why there wasn't any ports for the rear passengers...but anyway. Thanks to @kad and his creative USB brackets, I now have four 3.0A quick charge ports (2 on...

    I believe it depends on the year of your truck. It is either in the EVIC or 8.4 screen. I do not have them in my EVIC at all. Wish they let you choose.

    I got them to show up on the 8.4 radio screen if you go through the Settings Menu, not in the EVIC. Still trying to get all 5 to show, my truck seems to like long naps before a change pushes through.

    UConnect Software Update Received--What's in it?

    WOW!! Just stumbled across this thread, my 6-speaker 2018 has not received this U-Connect update yet. Its is still running 17.43.44 (App version 19.9). Hope I didn't just jinx myself.... After reading through the AlfaOBD thread, someone mentioned when they set their 6 speaker system to an 9...

    Posting that on the fridge @Ghost_RAM !! I got AUX buttons 1-4 showing up right now, but saw Config AUX PTO switches setting from POST #1051 that will show all 5. Waiting for my truck to hibernate right now to see if it kicks through.

    Read through 4200+ posts in the last 2 days.... :boxed: Where's my certificate of completion? Got DRLs, Fogs with High Beams, Window Global Down, and AUX controls showing on the 8.4 screen so far with no issues. Big thank you to everyone who has posted findings here. AlfaOBD is an outstanding...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Changed the oil, installed a Fumoto drain valve, dropped in an AEM air filter and installed a Billet Technology Oil Catch Can. Received my OBDLink MX yesterday. Coupled with the M2 Mods security harness from @DeereGuy (BIG thank you!!), I'm ready for a long weekend of reading the AlfaOBD thread.

    Anyone added the aux switches to a 4th Gen?

    I don't do facebook either. I had my wife order one from 4th Gen using her account or I would have created one just for 1 order. Very responsive gentlemen and received the order fast. When you do pull the trigger, use Kad's clutch delete plate DIY for running the wires through the firewall...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Installed the Aux switch panel from 4th Gen Ram today. Thank you to @kad for his clutch delete plate DIY. Made wiring through the firewall so easy and professional looking.

    First oil change and the ‘18 already needs replacement parts

    Knowing they torque the filters down, I had dealership do the first oil change on my '18. Just checked and it was also assembled in Mexico. The shop did have a tough time getting it off, but no damage reported. It isn't leaking, but now I'm curious to check the threads when I change it myself...

    M22x1.5 Bolt?

    You are very welcome. Interested to see how your idea turns out.

    M22x1.5 Bolt?

    You may be able to re-purpose some oil drain plugs for your project. Some are M22 x 1.5 and relatively cheap. https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NDP7041048

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Installed four flush mount bull rings on the bed rail cap. Tonneau cover fits perfectly right over 'em.

    Morimoto headlights

    Looks like Headlight Revolution's Black Friday 20% off can be applied to the Morimoto headlight pre-order price. Tempting, isn't it?

    Heavy is right! But solid. May put some castor wheels on the wheel stop ends. Sent from my SM-N950U using Tapatalk

    Wire Connections - Which Method Is Better?

    Thank you for all the replies and shared information. This really helps shape how I will complete a few installs.

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Completed father/son project for truck's next oil change. His idea to staple roofing shingles on the bottom for anti-slip.

    Wire Connections - Which Method Is Better?

    If your wires came with factory butt connections or spade connectors, would you snip those off and still favor solder/heat shrink? I'm assuming yes for exterior applications, but would the same be for interior? Also, is adding flux to your soldering really necessary?

    Wire Connections - Which Method Is Better?

    I have read a lot of threads/posts about adding accessories to your truck that require wiring. The most often used phrase is "tap into the (X) wire." Well, me not being an amateur electrician gets confused on what method to use to "tap into" said wires. I understand not to gift wrap...
