So I read somewhere to try an cal your insurance provider to see if your eligible for a discount because you have Sirius xm guardian tracking system. I've got nation wide and that's a big negatory on the discount. Even my agent admitted that didn't make sense, that it should since u can track where it's at, but nope. She was quick to point out that what a good deal i was getting considering my rate only went up 110 for the whole year and have a brand new ride. Wich i did agree. I also pointed out to her i figured my rate would be lower considering my 16 2500 didn't have any safety stuff like this one's got. She was also quick to point out that it doesn't work like that. At least she was honest, how often do you get that from an insurance agent.
 
Mark we all appreciate you and the whole team for taking our frustrations sometimes with a grain of salt as there is no ill will in our intentions. We all thank you for staying involved with An open dialogue and to help make a better product

Hey @Rich - thank you very much for the kind words! I completely understand, and trust me, your feedback is incredibly valuable to us! It may be a surprise for some on here, but I am not a robot and actually happen to be a vehicle owner myself so I really do get the frustration when something isn't as it should be.

That's why we try to do all that we can to ensure our customers are able to receive the additional support should anything need to be addressed with our dealers!

Sneaked under during lunch! Max Tow brakes! But my LH is has different p/n. P68290081AF similar to your RH. My RH sticker was already gone (lasted 600 whole miles)

Also found some poorly terminated wires above the spare tire. Anyone have a clue to what they are for?

Plug with the blue tape is for the Trailer TPMS receiver.

The blunt cut wires above the spare are shown in the bodybuilder guide, I believe there's a 3rd brake light wire and some power.
 
Thanks, I was wondering when I saw that angle iron what that was for. If that's for cooling that's hilarious. I mean it has to help somewhat but come on. That's some real technology right there for yah :D
nah, just a debri shield. I meant the brakes hanging down there should cool.

Thanks! Good to know. I'll have to inspect that power wire when I install the booster for the TIreMinder i10 next weekend. I may install the OEM TTPMS as something to do, but i still need something to alert me of low tire psi in the truck.

I have my Tireminder booster/repeater mounted on the forward 1/3 of my 5th wheel and tapped into a marker light to pick up the boat trailer. It will be interesting to see if it works as a repeater (theoretically it should) with the factory TTPMS.

I've got mine wired into the front battery compartment on alligator clips. I always leave the ground clipped on and before a trip I hook my positive clip onto a positive post
 
Haven't seen anybody talk about the difference in there insurance rates yet. Went from a 16 ram 2500 6.7 tradesmen to a fully loaded 20 3500 Laramie Dre 6.7. My rates only went up $120 for the whole year. I thought that was crazy good, I'm real happy with that. Nationwide

when I went from my 17 Big Horn to my 19 Laramie everything stayed the same for me. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least.

Having it wired to the marker lights helps me remember to turn on my lights.

Good idea, I just leave mine on the dummy auto mode, takes all the brains out of it, wich I find dissipating as I gain in years

Any chance they can hit the bed step? Can you measure how low they are? Thanks!

Maybe I'm lost, Wich isn't a one off thing, but can you elaborate a bit more on your question or comment. Sorry for being lost
 
Got a few more goodies in today. Paint pen, 2 lic plate frames and that health monitor i was telling you all i got for free when i bought my bakflip, just had to pay shipping, so y'all can comment on what that thing does, it says it reads the codes, I'm sure it's generic, but it was free. Got an email that my wt floor liners will be here tomorrow and my Lund line x tool box should arrive at home depot by Thursday. Then next weak ( hopefully my bak flip and protective glass for u connect). I'm hemeraging money, wich is good I guess since its almost done except for the duels flaps that aren't through build yet.

Hey @Rich did you get your paint pen from the dealer or elsewhere?

OA
Got it on Amazon from a mopar dealer some where. It was $15, about 2.50 less than the dealer, but the dealer didn't have it and Amazon was free shipping over a certain amount. Funny thing was allot of those mopar sites wanted 40-60 buck for shipping on just that pen alone and my exhaust tip and fuel door was only $10. So i ordered all 3 off of Amazon. pen must of came from over seas. Same exact part # and everything and mopar brand. Another quick one. I asked the dealer for that $10 car care kit and he said we don't have that in stock, so ill have to order 6 so ill have to charge you $ 60 plus tax, ughhhh no ., sorry mopar, ill get meguires from wally world

For exterior "wax" get the Turtle Wax Hybrid Ceramic spray.

Damn near as good as an expensive ceramic coating and for the price, lasts well enough.
