    2011 Steering Wheel swap

    I never was able to get it to communicate. Turns out the wheel was a 2012, and it seems the 2011 1500 is somewhat of a unicorn and doesn’t play well with swaps of newer electronics. I ended up going back to stock and sold the 1500 because I picked up a 2500 Cummins.

    Turbo? Actuator? Or Injectors? Loss of power, black cloud.

    Update: Put it in the shop and I opted for a complete (new) turbo replacement. Now I have a question about the exhaust brakes. Previously I could push the exhaust brake button and here was a discernible sound and slowing down. Now there isn’t. I was worried they put the wrong turbo in and had...

    Turbo? Actuator? Or Injectors? Loss of power, black cloud.

    Turbo does spin up. No smoke other than at that one moment. After I shut off the exhaust brake, haven’t had any more smoke, and just a slight loss of power when accelerating out of a turn. I’ve got it scheduled to go into a trusted shop, but they re scheduled out a couple weeks unfortunately...

    Turbo? Actuator? Or Injectors? Loss of power, black cloud.

    Reading up on P2262 that seems to be the likely culprit, thought I would ask the more experienced guys here. It’s a 2011 with 230k on it and as far as I know it’s the original turbo.

    Turbo? Actuator? Or Injectors? Loss of power, black cloud.

    Newish to diesels. I’ve had my ‘11 2500 for about 1-1/2 years. I‘ve been getting an occasional CEL code P2262 (Turbo boost pressure not detected), but no other symptoms. The other day it also threw a P226C (Turbocharger boost control). Again, no other symptoms. Tonight while exiting a traffic...

    Changed from a non EVIC to an EVIC cluster and correct steering wheel. Couldn’t get the EVIC buttons to work no matter how many times I tried. Followed the directions exactly. gave up and removed them both. Set it back to stock and bought a 201 2500 Cummins instead! Edit: this was a reply to...

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    Cruise does actually still work, but no EVIC or Radio button functions do. Also, one major issue is the horn sounds and doesn’t stop! I’m sure my neighbor were getting irritated with all the times I set it off trying to get it to work.

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    Pulling my hair at this point. I now have a correct 2011 wheel with the EVIC buttons and radio controls buttons. I have set Remote Steering Wheel Switches to ”set” using AlfaOBD. None of the buttons work and cruise won’t turn on anymore either. The two wires have been cut and spliced correctly...

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    That seems to be the case. I read in other threads that up to a 2012 would work, but real life experience says no. I got smart and figured the basic owners manual would show that wheel if it was an option and it did not. The 2012 manual does. So I ordered a 2011 wheel with EVIC buttons. I guess...

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    I was pretty sure it is off a 2012. That’s what the seller said anyway. I’m now starting to wonder if it is a newer one, but I thought the wiring plugs changed in 2013? So I’m not 100% certain.

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    After extensive searching and reading, I’m starting to wonder if I simply have the wrong year wheel? This is what I installed, can anyone confirm if this style wheel and switches will work in a 2011? Or am I stuck getting one with only EVIC controls and cruise still on the little stalk under the...

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    Also, can’t seem to find the AlfaOBD menu option to correct the mileage. The new cluster has significantly less miles and I need to update it to actual mileage.

    Steering wheel and EVIC Cluster upgrade - HELP!

    Verified continuity on B+ line and Ground. Verified voltage going to the wheel. Still have no steering wheel button function. Cluster works, but can’t access the evic menu as the buttons don’t work. Not sure how to check the Lin Bus wire to verify it, did do a continuity test on my splice. Is...

    Can somebody point me to the directions for changing the mileage on a 2011? I can’t seem to find the option in AlfaOBD.

    Ok, maybe my problem is I didn’t reset the WIN afterwords. EDIT: Reset WIN Configuration and they work! Thank you.

    2011 Ram 1500 Crew Cab SLT I’m trying to program some key fobiks for my truck as I didn’t get any when purchased. (Used). AlfaOBD & OBDlink MX I “successfully” programmed two fobiks that now work to start the vehicle, but none of the buttons work. No lock or unlock. Everything I read...

    2011 Steering Wheel swap

    Thank you. I thought I read that the 2009 was also a one-off different wiring? I’ll check out the AlfaOBD thread. I’ve got the reader, just waiting on the Galaxy phone I ordered to download the software. (I’ve currently got an iPhone).

    2011 Steering Wheel swap

    I have searched the forum extensively and read quite a few threads on upgrading the basic steering wheel to one with EVIC, Radio and Cruise buttons, but NONE on a 2011. I can find used steering wheels on eBay, but when checking the part numbers most appear to be 2013 or newer. I can’t seem to...
