Thank you!

For your purposes, Deezee refers to it as a nut zerk/zerk nut. If you call them they will send you a replacement, possibly for free (they did for me).

Lol, a zerk is a grease fitting that bolts into suspension or other greasable parts that you connect your grease gun to. Way different purpose than a ball stud. If that's what they call their ball studs, their product team needs to be edjumicated..

Agreed, I think I conflated that with the etrailer article for what they call it in their question...need more coffee.

Over the last week, I have gotten remote start to work.

I purchased/inatalled the $80 mopar hood latch with switch from rock auto, made a few settings changes to enable the latch and remote start in alfaobd and then reset the WIN module.

Remote start now works, just in time for the 90 degree weather.

It looks to me that the plates are mounted in the incorrect positions.
Swap their positions and I think you will find it will work properly.

Cheers

That was exactly the issue. Switched the plates and now works like a champ! Thank you all again for the help!!

Should have everything installed this weekend and will add pics then.

UPDATE: Got the Screen Protector, Lug Nut Covers, Liner Mats (console, cup holders, doors, empty spaces), AC Vents Trim, Window Switch Trim, Radio Volume, Tuner and AC knob rings, Door Handle Trays added and Plasti Dipped grill emblem and antenna and added a couple of decals on the back window. AND wash it for the first time since I've had it (purchased 3/24/24). Looks beautiful when it's clean but I did find washing around the badging is a PITA!! Also got more Chemical Guys items for detailing and all the vinyl for decals I want to add cut, will hopefully be able to add those throughout the week.

Just wanted to add, that when I plasti dipped the RAM on the grill, with the 2024 there is no need to remove the letters or the grill. After I popped the hood, there is a plastic cover that is held down with 6 plastic clips. Popped those off and had access in between the grill and the radiator. Took a piece of cardboard and put in that space. Taped off the RAM and sprayed away. So glad I did not have to remove the letters or the grill!

So prolly best facebook marketplace find to date. Been looking for a bed cover and someone was selling a bakflip vp part#1162207. It's an older cover but was in the box and they said it was a "new return" they had gotten buying some stuff in bulk. Picked it up for 50 bucks! the bed cover was new had all the clips for the rails missing one of the front hold down bolts. But for 50 bucks and 20 bucks in additional hardware for a hard trifold I'll take it.

That's awesome! Word of advice, if it is the vinyl covered one don't let water pool on it for long, it will eventually make the layers delaminate with just enough evenly dispersed weight.

If you are missing any parts I think I have a bin of all the old hardware I would send you for free (just pay shipping) but the hardware kits they send straight from the manufacturer are pretty cheap.

It is the older vinyl cover. It's been in storage for sometime as I need to clean the mold off of it.

The one bolt I need is what they call the Elevator bolt.
