    Ideas and pics of VHF/UHF antenna mounts on 2016 RAM

    Got into ham radio in early Dec, 2021. For a mobile in the truck I bought a VHF 2980R Yaesu. In the process of building a mount for the radio in the front tray of the center console. Leaning towards a lip mount for the antenna and mounting it on the passenger rear door. I will not drill...

    question on Uconnect 8.4 soft reset - GPS dead

    The GPS in my 2016 RAM took a dump. Used the GPS 4 days ago and everything was normal. Tried it yesterday and it still thinks I am 35 miles from home, where I turned the GPS off 4 days ago. There are no bars showing on the GPS signal strength. What does a soft reset of the Uconnect 8.4 system...

    Getting a new windshield and have a question

    Had lightning strike concrete close to my 2016 truck throwing a 3 pound piece into the windshield cracking it. Will take the truck in next week to get the scratches in the hood fixed, again from the concrete hitting it, and a new windshield. I'm sure my truck has the humidity sensor as it will...

    Is there a way to enter custom POI's into the 8.4 nav system?

    I have a 2016 Ram with the nav system. I'd like to be able to enter custom POI's from a web site like the POI Factory. By custom I mean enter a file that contains all the Harley Dealers in the US or your favorite restaurant chain. I found these directions on line but they didn't work after I...

    Would you use tow haul mode if pulling a small boat?

    New-to-me 2016 Ram 1500 with 5.7 and 8-speed tranny. Up until I bought the truck I've been pulling this load with a 2011 GMC Terrain with a 3 liter V-6 and hardly know it is behind the car. My jon-boat, motor, and trailer probably weigh 400-450 pounds. I'm towing maybe 40 miles one-way on...
