Hey all, long time lurker new member. I had a question. I had a 2013 ram prior, now a 2017 (purchased new that year). Im trying to change some settings in my EVIC (hill assist mainly) and the settings are...not there. I could have SWORN I got into the settings through the EVIC to change locking procedures etc in the past but maybe I'm wrong. Truck hasn't been flashed since I got it. I have the smaller 5" touch screen Uconnect. Am I missing something?

If you have a 5" radio you will change those features in the settings menu on the radio and not in the EVIC. The trucks that were originally equipped with the 3" non touch screen radio had the settings menu in the EVIC.

Isn't the Hill Start Assist settings in Uconnect under Safety/Assistance?

Y'all were right. It was right in the screen menu. Somehow I looked past it. I coulda swore I used the EVIC in the gauge cluster. But I'm probably thinking of the last truck. Thanks for the quick replies!

I won't swear to this, on my 2016, i have the hill assist set
Sometimes i roll back on the steeper grades at a Stop sign or Light.

It seems like if i press the brake pedal just a bit harder than normal right at the stop, the hill assist holds the truck from rolling back just a bit longer
