    Yet Another Clogged Heater Core

    Have the common heater core issue that I see many others have struggled with. This summer took my 2016 2500 (cummins) in for a coolant flush and replace. Come fall when goto use heater, it's only luke warm. Take it in and they flushed the core. Heat GTG for a few days before back to luke warm...

    I found a way to receive your own PIN CODE without the dealer :)

    sorry to bring an old thread back, but the walkthrough on page 225 of the alphaobd thread for programming doesn't appear to be for keyless fogs (talks about inserting keyfob and such). is there a walkthrough for push-button start fobs? i can't seem to find.

    New (to me) Rig - What to Service?

    Picked up a 2016 2500 with the 6.7 cummins a couple months ago. Had 71000 on it at time of purchase. Coming up on 75000 now. Planning on having a bunch of service work done to it. Wondering if I missed anything (or included anything unnecessarily)? 1) Engine Oil Change (duh) 2) Engine Air...

    Turn OFF weather alerts?

    I have uconnect 8.4" unit. It's on 17x software still (can't figure out how to get it to update to 18x software). I'm getting weather alert pop ups... which I would actually not mind at all if they only showed once. But the stupid things pop up every single time I start the car until the alert...

    lights on with car off?

    so on my old (not ram) rig, whenni turned car off at night, the interior lights would come on for a period of time. this isn't happening in my new 2018 ram rig. is it a setting somewhere? it was such a nice feature allowing me to find/get stuff before exiting.

    Bilstein 5100 - Probably a stupid question...

    no... i was lower before the install, so they definitely worked at 1.4" to almost level the truck. i can't remember the exact measurements now but i was between 1.4 and 2.1 inches lower in the front before install. i definitely did NOT want to be higher in the front so i chose to play it safe at...

    Bilstein 5100 - Probably a stupid question...

    So had the shop put on some 5100's on my 2018 1500 yesterday. I discussed with them prior that I wanted as level as possible without going nose high. We took measurements together and both agreed that given the difference between front and back the best option would be the 3rd ring @ 1.4" of...

    Which Bilstein 5100 Setting?

    I'm taking the rig in this morning to have it leveled. I have the 5100's already, they're just installing them. My question is this: I just went out and measured. The rear is sitting 1.75" higher than the front (rear @ 38.5", front @ 36.75"). At this differential, according to the instructions...

    Change function of wheel buttons?

    So on the back left side of the steering wheel in my '18 1500, there's 3 buttons. An up-down rocker with an additional button in the middle. For the radio, the up-down rocker scans (or maybe it's "seeks") up or down the channels for the next strongest one while the middle button changes to the...

    Knowing who you're buying from...

    I don't know if this is allowed here. I hope so. I looked for a better forum for it but there didn't seem to be one set up specifically for this sort of thing so I'm putting it here. If it doesn't belong, obviously pull it, and my apologies. I've been having some issues with the folks at...

    Uconnect mutes my phone... how to disable?

    So I don't want anything other than phone calls and music to be routed through the head unit. I was able to go into the bluetooth settings on my (android) phone and turn off messages, but Uconnect is still muting my phone such that if it's connected and a txt comes in my msg tone on the phone...
