    Fogging inside taillight housing

    Prior owner installed Eagle Eye rear taillights. No complaints, until recently. I've noticed some fogging on the inside. Worry? Not worry? Run 'em till the wheels fall off? Thanks John

    I wonder how long this has been missing?

    I was going to do some basic maintenance on my newish to me 2009, by changing the cabin air filter. I looked it up on YouTube, and saw that there seemed to be a little access door to unsnap. As I learned, mine didn't have the little door...so I set about doing the hack. It involves cutting...

    Climate control, knob, backlight blink off and on

    2009, Two knob climate control module, with backlighted knobs. The backlight on the right side knob has started randomly blinking off and on. How are they lighted? Do the knobs pull off? Have to go in from the back? Thanks.

    Auto start, heated seats/steering wheel on under 40f, can this be changed?

    I've read that the system is set so that the heated seats and steering wheel will not come on when auto-starting the truck unless the temp is below 40f. I verified that yesterday and today. Yesterday was 43f. I autostarted the truck, the seats and steering wheel did not heat up. Today...

    Is there a way to trigger camera with brake, plus less than 5mph?

    Having achieved success with the backup cam, I'm investigating front cam now. I don't want the camera powered all the time. I thought to use the brake light circuit as the camera trigger. Then, I began to wonder if there is some speed sensitive circuit that could be connected in series to...

    Does OEM camera run on the canbus?

    I got a Phoenix style radio. It has a yellow connector for rear camera in, but I can't get it to work. My truck did not come with OEM camera, I just purchased an aftermarket back up cam. If the OEM backup camera runs through the canbus, I imagine that's how the "engineers" for the Phoenix...

    Are there OEM replacements into a 2009 w/LED running lights?

    2009 Laramie, I believe the headlights are OEM. They have a smallish amber running light. I'd like LED DRL for more frontal visibility. Something like this: Without going aftermarket, is there an OEM year that might be similar that would drop right in?

    Has anyone installed both a Px6 & back up camera?

    2009 Laramie, no back up cam, and (essentially) obsolete head unit radio. I just installed a Tesla style Px6, and now want to install a back up camera. I was all gung-ho to order up an OEM back up camera, but then read where someone installed a PX6, and apparently had fuzzy screen because of...

    AlfaOBD, download to Px6 android?

    I have OBDmx+. I also just installed an Android head unit (px6 Tesla style). Is there a reason NOT to download AlfaOBD directly to the head unit? Or, would it be safer/better/more efficient by using an outboard tablet? Thanks.

    Help! Heated seat control, 10.4" PX6 T style headunit

    This is regarding the center console controls integration into the PX6, and the row of switches for heated seats/steering wheel. Original configuration had two rows of switches, along with the a/c and fan controls. For the installation, a new bezel with the 10" screen replaced the original...

    Installed Tsla style radio, trial and tribulations,2009

    I ordered a PX6464 Android 9.0 directly from TPXINXIN in China and installed it today. Pretty nice! It's very complex, and came with no instructions or user manual. Every YT video I found had a different rear configuration, so I was on my own. Fortunately, the install was mostly straight...

    Fob prevented door lock with dome light on

    No complaint, just a share. Earlier today, my dashlights auto-dimmed. So, I adjusted the dimmer switch to brighten them up. Apparently, I moved the dimmer into the "dome light on" position, but I didn't notice. I went to the store, and tried to lock my door with the fob. It would not lock...

    How could I tell if MDS may have been turned off?

    If the MDS is disabled via a tuner, will the Fuel Saver message still come on? I have read numerous posts that people can "feel it" when the MDS kicks on and off when cruising 25-35. I don't feel anything. The Fuel Saver message will turn on and off, but I don't feel a thing from the engine...

    2009, installed new foam and leather seat cover

    2009 driver seat getting a little long in the tooth. I don't know if it was marketed as leather originally...best guess was "pleather". Driver seat had serious cracks on the outside bolster. I found some leather seat bottoms on ebay, along with a Durafoam replacement for the driver side. As...

    Is there a reason to NOT leave OBD MX+ installed permanently?

    Just curious if it can stay plugged in, or if it should be removed when not actively using it. The reason for the question is that I intend to upgrade to a Tesla style screen, and was hoping to use output from the OBD mx+ as a widget on the screen. Thanks.

    I'm b-a-a-k

    It's been awhile. I had a 2019 RAM Rebel a couple years back. Was not feeling the love, so away it went. Today, became the owner of a 2009 RAM Laramie. See you all around the forums!

    Cover for center console armrest-yes!

    I had not found one that specifically stated for "2019"...so I decided to take a chance on this. It says specifically on the sellers website NOT for 2019 RAM 1500...but, I bought one anyway, and I like it...

    Is my Rebel "Chuckie"?...attacked my wife

    My wife has been in the passenger seat for dozens of rides. No problems. Today, though, was different. About ten seconds after taking off, she yells "Ouch", and "x@%X@!".... Apparently her arm was too close to the door lock post, and when it pulled down for "auto-lock", it grabbed her skin...

    New 2019 Rebel owner, 2 questions

    I've owned this for about four hours, or so. In the excitement of it all, I forgot to ask about an Owners Manual. I guess I just assumed I would find it in the glove box. Should I expect a traditional owner manual type package? Question 2: The window sticker says Remote Start. How do you...

    Which model/options would you buy now for best resale value in 5 years?

    I'm guessing the numbers sold would be a guide, but I don't know how to find that info. Are there more Hemi models sold? Or, do Cummins lead the sales numbers? Or the V-6? I think short beds lead over long beds, simply because I don't see many long beds on the road. I'm guessing that 1500...

    Don't have my truck yet...

    I'm getting a Ram next November/December, and have just started the journey of trying to learn/decipher the trim packages, etc. I'll be full-timing in a fifth wheel, and hopefully can find the one that suits me at around 10-12k weight. Currently, top of the list is crew cab, diesel, long...
