Thats awesome! Thank you for replying and for diggin into this. I'll keep an eye on your progress.

Howdy, all. I have a 2021 Laramie with the uconnect 12.1 and, for the most part, I love it. However...it has been haveing a few intermittant problems lately and those seems to be increasong in both their frequency and duration. So....it has be pondering: Whatcha think the chances might be...

This is old news to many, but I found it exceptionally helpful....especially at the 7:00 mark where he explains the alternative function of the reverse-circuit. You can ignore his color designations....apparently trailer wire color standardization is still a true s#@!-show and every MFG is...

I honestly don’t know. It could easily have been purely cosmetic. (Shrug)

Very quick disclaimer: I am not some sort of catalog-queen/Drugstore-cowboy Who thinks I am smarter than a building full of engineers with decades of experience, or who feels the need to demonstrate how fat my wallet is with how much bling I can strap on to my truck. I am all about people doing...

I thought so too. as I mentioned earlier, fuel efficiency and fuel cost are a small factor in the calculus of my decision. But they are still a factor. Acquisition cost, operation cost, maintenance cost, all of those are also factors. The salesman claiming that the diesel has a better resale...

Looks like any other Granite M/C. But I think Ive seen other threads where you have one on order, and I completely understand the thirst for visual-gratification (been there, done that...a lot). I'll try to figure out how to send you some pix of my truck.

fgbm, I am also planning to install the WeBoost Reach OTR. Ive read lots of reviews and watched lots of videos on it and it seems to do a great job at what it was designed to do. Where are you planning to mount the INTERIOR antenna? I was thinking that I would velcro mine into the small...

Totally understandable question and one that I struggled with for months while I was “designing” my truck. And every day I wonder if I did...or didn’t....choose wisely. BOTH engine options have their advantages AND their disadvantages. diesel gets more miles per gallon, but diesel costs...

Most definitely!!! Yeah....Hell has certainly frozen-over. When I was stationed in Europe (long long ago in a lifetime far far away) I remember watching a 63-ton M-1 slide through an intersection because not even tracks (with road-pads) have traction on ICE. My squad could push our...

I know that this is old news to most of y'all, but its new to me. Here in TX we dont get much need for our Heated Side Mirrors, but I was driving through the ice storm on Thursday and cussing the fact that my heated mirrors weren't working....470 miles into it I finally relented and watched a...

Bump

I’m still learning about all this stuff and I am WELL AWARE that learning from books and internet are no comparison to real world experience....so I am all ears for any feedback. that being said, I do have some experience with operating Ford F-250 diesels and from that experience, plus some...

I am only familiar with: §383.91 Commercial motor vehicle groups. (a) Vehicle group descriptions. Each driver applicant must possess and be tested on his/her knowledge and skills, described in subpart G of this part, for the commercial motor vehicle group(s) for which he/she desires a CDL. The...

That's what I'm thinking. I do keep the tri-ball hitch in-place. And I think that may be what it triggering the back-up warning which sounds-off about 80-90% of the time when I am backing up. Sadly, I reckon my 2017 and 2019 were just smart enough to figure out that if the "object" is...
