I bought it from him
Upon order he asks for
Mileage
Driving hours
Idle hours
Then he programs it and ships it out
I think i had him add 5 miles to mine as i wasn't planning on driving it so when it got here i went five miles and it was 1.8 mile off
Idle hours and driving hours were right on
I looked him up on Ebay after i watched the
Kustom black gunz video on the swap and reading his positive feedback
I was very pleased with his service and answering questions

You can change that with Alfa along with programming idle and drive hours. I’m going to assume next update for Alfa will be for mileage correction for our premium clusters.

I found mine for 275 on eBay. It had a scratch on the lens. I just used some polish to polish the scratch out. You can barley see it no. Not noticeable while driving plus. New 7” evic lens are only about $75 from All Mopar parts. Vendor here on the form.

I'm not sure if he did that or not but i like it lol
Lawsuit11 i have been looking and looking and i can't find the procedure to change that screen on alphaobd do you by chance know the procedure
I have the alphaobd and love it since i got a tradesman truck i have done a few things with it of course first thing was lowering tpms thresholds which made it worth it lol
Then i added tow mirrors and activated the puddle and turn signals in them
Then corrected mph after bigger tires
It is an awesome tool to have

It’s in this screen shot below. You need to change both special package settings to the same option. There is a long list of screen start up options. Mine personally is Lonestar. Just go through the list and pick the one you want. I don’t know exactly what the 2500 option is called. But you can try them and see the ones you like or dislike.

Note not all of them will work.

No they are pre loaded into your cluster by the manufacturer. Unless you can go into the cluster yourself and add files/splash screens you won’t be able to do custom ones

That’s why you can only use certain options because if it’s not a preloaded splash screen it won’t show up and I believe it just faults back to the Ram splash screen

Been eyeing a Rebel red cluster, but saving for the headers and tune.
Unless there's a deal I can't pass up.
