New ram 2500 ctd owner

Can the 2018 models be adjusted? I read somewhere on here they could not. I did however inflate to 80 then dropped them back down to 70. Seems to let you get away with that but idk how much more until it sets the light off. I will likely never have maximum load on this truck so id love to lower the pressures.

Yeah, you need a way to get around FCA's security module. I put in one of these:

After that you can do whatever you want with the programming.

One week update... trucks been fine no gremlins so far. Other than i mustve changed a setting, first day or two it would read my text messages to me while driving but now it doesnt alert me or anything. Not sure what happened there. Sitting at 1034 miles 7 days in. Hopefully that will slow down, the trip to wv didnt help. When do i need to do the first oil change? I think the manual says 7500 that seems pretty high but this is my first diesel

Currently awaiting delivery of a magnum sport headache rack and westin hdx (i think) step bars for the wife. Already swapped the street tires for muds for the ohio mud season. Added weather tech mats and have the window visors i just need to install. Possibly going to tint the front windows so may wait and do that first. Need to get a tool box and a spray in bedliner and ill be pretty well set. May also have a rust preventer and wax job done at the local detail shop before the salt starts.

Just had an armadillo brand spray in done by radical design in wooster oh. He also ordered carharrt seat covers front and back, tinted the front glass, and installed weather tech window flares, he also order a deezee gullwing tool box for me. If anyone is close enough to use radical design i highly recommend it his prices were HUNDREDS less than i could find online plus he installed em. I wish i wouldve had him order my step bars and headache rack too.

Nice! I had a 2014 CTD tradesman and loved the hell out of it.

So you just temporarily install that (or leave it permanently installed) while using any OBD compatible device to write to the BCM? Or is it specific to their OBD Genie?

I left it in. Not real worried about someone remotely hacking into my truck to take it over.

Did you have your bumpers color matched? I plan on getting a Cummins in the next 6 months and am probably gonna settle with a tradesman, the color match looks way better than chrome.
