#1 - Put the volume on 1 and it's sticky. If that's still annoying, select Media instead of Radio, and as long as you don't have a phone plugged in you'll hear zip.
Agreed! 5th gen is MUCH better.
Ohhhh, Noooo, Mr Bill!!!!
Music streaming isn’t best with the older ones like ours to connect a Bluetooth wireless receiver or if you have a touch screen a usb cord. I run amazon music, Apple Music, and even Sirius XM since mine is a factory style. No issues via usb cord. MDS is ridiculous on the rams. I hate when o forget to either run tow haul or manual mode. Around town it’s manual 4 hwy its manual 5 or 6. The horn is a horn. It’s loud and you can’t casually blow it. Stock bulbs are ok at best. LED bulbs are where it’s at. I don’t find either of the oil change or spark plug changes to be that bad. It’s not great, but not bad. My Ram is a 16 all day long truck and that’s it. Accept it. Fords aren’t any better. My dad has a 13 ecoboost and it gets worst mpg then my Ram. He’s easy on the throttle to where I am not.
Is the telescoping wheel part of a package or a stand alone option?
I agree. If someone in front of you at a light is asleep or texting and you try to give a light tap of the horn it sounds like you're angry. Like we need more angry people in this world! LOLMay get some train horns, that way I can be REALLY annoying and scare the cr@p out of people.
Ah man I wish I could tell you that it works, but I tried and tested to get just a small chirp (like when I lock my doors) but it defaults to a predefined honk. Double tap does nothing, light presses etc. Done them all.
I guess I shouldn’t have went with the train horns then? I usually give a little after the light changes, then it’s full blast and they speed off. Once or twice of that, and they might quit texting, messing with their phones.
If they don't move after the friendly toot....... Then..........! Lol
They move ......way back when, when you could do such things, that very thing happened to my dad. A car sat through 2 green lights. My dad yelled out the window to move it or he would, he did. Lots of tire smoke and some long black marks for a city block. For the record, it was a Cadillac, and he was in a Ford pickup. No tickets for dad, lady was informed that she was obstructing traffic by the po po and to drop it. Plenty of witnesses agreed.Obviously, some memories I will never forget. I still get a chuckle out of that. It was the late 70’s. Big ranch hand bumper on the 2001 is all they see in the rear view. Something about that 5.9 clatter and big bumper, They move. Don't dare touch another’s vehicle, so I try to dismantle via the sound wave method.
#1 - I have the #1 spot programmed to the zero channel. That works until you bump the controls on the back of the steering wheel. I'll try the volume on 1. BUT ... it would be so simple to add an off option - just stupid that they don't IMHO.
It works for me but this brings me to a question… I wonder how hard it would be and what it would take after removing the middle steering wheel cover to lean just how they designed the horn button, to modify it in such a way to make the outer cover a little more sensitive without making it to where it’s super-sensitive to the point to where you’re blowing the horn just from a big sneeze. Lol.
Yeah that switch is awful sensitive, isn’t it? I sure love the one touch up and down, though. I wish my last truck had that.
Being that all these door panels come off so easy, is this perhaps something you can fix yourself? I’ve got lifetime warranty on mine so I would probably most likely take mine in to get it repaired but if we’re just talking something that would cost the same or just below what my deductible price is, I think I would just rather save myself the frustration of having to leave it somewhere and try to repair it myself.
