    Bed step safety recall - W24 - W26 - W44

    AndyS I bought my step online from a MOPAR dealer over a year ago. I received my recall letter about 3-4 weeks ago and if I remember right it stated if the step was purchased or not on truck originally, the remedy was to exchange the bracket only. No labor to swap it out. And you had to bring...

    Remote start added to 2020 Tradesman (SOLVED)

    Faced a similar issue with a 2019 Bighorn. Factory remote lock/unlock and push button start. Could not add OEM remote start due to software conflicts with Keyless Go. Maybe they have fixed for 2020 and later. Had to go aftermarket, 12Volt Solutions was my decision.

    Towing right off the lot?

    Owners manual states not to tow in first 500 miles, then states a "break in " period of first 500 miles towing with max speed of 50 mph. Not sure it would damage a new vehicle, but I followed the manual just to be sure.

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    Guess I mis-stated. I have the Keyless Go push button start, but not the proximity entry that has the sensors in the door handles. The service guy, who is pretty good, at the local dealership looked the OEM remote start and showed me where it said not compatible with the Keyless Go sales...

    Aftermarket Remote Start

    Looking for information and possibly some actual use reviews. Would like to add remote start to 2019 2500 Bighorn with the Keyless Go option, but not proximity key. OEM is a no go according to the local dealership. Looking at the "12volt solutions" 100% plug and play. Seems the wiring...
