    RVs and Battleborn LiFePO4 batteries

    For anyone that tows an RV (or drives a motorized one) and has Battleborn (aka Dragonfly) LiFePO4 batteries installed, you might want to have a look at some of the recent posts (last week) on potential fire hazards with their internal construction. Easy to find on YT if you search on Will...

    Seriously -- Sirius update is painful just talking to the company - and Android Auto questions

    Interesting. I don't think I've ever seen a weather map on mine unless I get a pop-up alert and select show area. My truck came with the wifi option (at least on the sticker and in the app window) but it has never worked. Turns out you need a subscription to AT&T wireless to activate it which...

    Yep - found that out. Need an update to the radio SW first. Could have had that done last oil change for free if I had known.

    Uconnect Wifi dead for good?

    A little disconcerting that the SOS button and other features either never worked or stopped working according to the TSB.

    Radio Flash Question

    Well that explains a lot. Dealer said there was a TSB and my radio SW is 39.9.0 despite their access to Uconnect saying it was up-to-date. Dealer said that I should be able to get OTA via wifi but that has never worked since the day I purchased it and wasn't connected to Sirius or Guardian...

    Uconnect Wifi dead for good?

    @RamCares Yep, this thread is old. Apparently I never had wifi set up from the start (should it have been included in sale?) - never had any AT&T account and all my phones are Verizon. I just finished 34 hours of driving and found all my Sirius stuff had expired. Uconnect tells me I need a...

    Map update on a 21

    Good Lord, this is so painful. My 5 year traffic and travel link expired. Quick check on the NAV screen and no traffic this last trip. Hit information button and it says I need a new map. First I talk to (I thought) RAM (it was a chrysler website) . Nope it's actually Uconnect who seem to...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    Parts at a NC dealer pulled me behind the counter to watch their computer pull up the PN for the air filter for my VIN on their official Mopar parts site when I questioned what PN filter they were going to install. It was the wrong one so this issue was actually an incorrect PN loaded into...

    Regens at alarming rate!

    Happens to me also when not towing or highway traveling. As long as I'm in gear with foot on the brake, I can idle in my driveway and complete the regen (boring) so I usually take a short trip on the highway to enjoy the scenery.

    Truck moves when put in park with Emergency Brake engaged

    That's what I have started doing - just to let it settle into where it wanted to be - seems to have worked.

    Truck moves when put in park with Emergency Brake engaged

    Not sure what sub-forum this might fit in. I've noticed this since day one when trying to line up the gooseball with the Goosebox. On flat and level ground the truck will move maybe an inch or less - sometimes forward and sometimes back. This happens with or without the emergency brake...

    Cummins caught emissions cheating - fined 1.67 billion mega thread.

    The EPA wording is very unclear. This from the EPA web site: "Additionally, Cummins failed to disclose that those 630,000 vehicles and approximately 330,000 more model year 2019-2023 vehicles included auxiliary emission control devices that Cummins did not disclose as part of the engine...

    Cummins caught emissions cheating - fined 1.67 billion mega thread.

    So what's with the post 10/1/2019-2023 trucks? Did Cummins 'correct' the PCM tuning? I have to wonder because I had a flash performed based upon an RRT (Rapid Response Transmittal (RRT) 21-027, date of issue March 05, 2021) which seems to address a whole bunch of emission related issues (in...

    Unconnect screen goes blank - Sirius music blasting - can't shut off

    I think I vote for aliens. Screen button did nothing. Awful Sirius music we simply couldn't stop without shutting the truck off. Then when we re-started, music came right back.
