What did you do TO your RAM today?

Just took delivery! Met up with the driver from MD and swapped out my trade (1500 LH) for this 2500 Laramie. Great to be back in an HD! After setting up my profile and settings, I installed my lock box/safe from Tuffy as soon as I got home. Now to source some running boards...

That is a sharp looking interior, so much nicer then the black ones.

Yeah, I think so. I'm done with black interiors. Last 2 trucks have been Longhorns with either cattle tan/black and Bison brown. Everything prior to that has been black. I do wish there was some black in this one to break up the brown on the dash, but I'll take it over all black, definitely! Just gotta make sure to keep these Sea Salt trimmed seats clean. I keep slip on covers in the truck just in case.
 
My 2019 1500 Laramie had the Light Frost Beige/Mountain Brown interior and I had been looking for 6-8 months for a 2500 with the same or similar color and the bench seat.
Finally gave in and got my current 2022 2500 Laramie that had almost all the options I was looking for except the surround view and light interior.
I seem to get a sore knee with the big center counsel, and I much prefer the bench seats.

I always had the bench in previous trucks. Unfortunately some of the options and packages, they required the bucket upgrade. Thankfully as the years go by, trucks have gotten bigger, at least for me, the knee room isn't much of a problem as in the past. At least not in the past 10yrs.
 
I like the TUFF box safe, my 3500 has a sub woofer in that spot on the passenger side. I wonder if they make one for the drivers side ? I will have to check it out.

After breaking down in this truck recently. I opted to just throw in a Randy's Aisin built-up version. I bought this truck used after my last, burned down. And after doing more research I noticed Stellantis extended the warranty on this transmission after the first fix of this damn K1 snap ring. After I signed up for the uconnect services, I notice there was an inserted file regarding this transmission after the first fix. Carfax didnt see it.. Guess they couldnt fix it right the first time and it happened again after only putting around 2K miles on it. But this time, the drum exploded... Guess I'll put in a partial reimbursement after said and done.

Dang, if wasn't for bad luck, you wouldn't have any, just like me.

Just installed a set of Rough Country Sport Fender Flares last night. Made a huge difference with the factory wheels and the 35x12.5x18 tires I have on it. The tires stuck out just a bit and these flares lined everything up just how I wanted them to look.

So, no matter matter how I figure out proper air pressure (the tire guy said he runs 45 psi in his cookie cutters on his Ram) is there a way to defeat the TPMS alert for low tire pressure?

What year truck? Up to 24 you can use JScan or AlfaOBD once you get setup. You can also change TPMS to TPIS if you like.

Good to go for my 2024 Jeep Wrangler, but pretty sure I need something extra for the Ram.

While that style cable will allegedly work on the HD trucks it’s not what you want, those connections are buried in the dash. It is what you need for the Jeep, I have one for the wife’s JT.

Get one of these for the Ram.

The icar will have limited functionality with some of the modules. The VLinker MC+ is the preferred dongle from VGate.

Yea, wrong cable, wrong OBD reader. Send that junk back.

You do not want to have to pull the dash cluster for that. I recall report of that reader not working on lots of stuff.

In addition to the KAOdTECH cable option, OBDGenie and/or Infotainment sell the same type cable if KAOdTECH is showing out of stock.

Agree on the MC+ as the best price/performance option.

Whatever you do, make sure you follow the steps to make a backup file before you change anything.
