Look around online for companies that do remans. Mail yours in for the core, and they send you a remanufactured unit.

On that tradesman grill, what did you do to make the RAM letters, and the chrome "brackets" either side the ram letters, black?

I'm confused, what theory? An hour of idle time is equivalent to 30 miles of engine wear, constant idling degrades oil just like driving does. Most EVIC oil change indicators go by mileage driven and not engine hours.

Idle time is considered "severe duty" by ram, both in the cummins and Hemi. You will have many MANY people tell you idling kills these engines, and they're not completely wrong. Problems occur when people do maintenance based off of mileage alone, and don't take into account idle time. Think...

Not totally sure. I did have a wire in the 11 pin on the harness from the BCM. I went ahead and pulled it out and tucked it aside per instructions. Who knows, it may just terminate In the harness bundle somewhere. By the way, it is literally impossible to run that wire from the top, even with...

Every hood latch has the opening for the connector, it just depends whether or not you have the harness. If you don't, there Is no way to buy that harness from ram separately, it's a special item sold only in the remote start kit. I didn't have the harness so I just went ahead and got the kit...

I've found the part number for the hoodlatch with the ajar switch earlier in this thread, part number 68261143AA seems to be the current model year part still. Only issue is I can't seem to get the harness for that switch.

And to piggyback off this, I just checked and I don't harness on the upper left of the hood latch. So the kit makes sense at this point. Is that kit sold with fobs that also have the tailgate drop button? If not I'll have to piece a kit together myself.

First of all, I want to say how incredibly helpful it is to have someone knowledgeable on a forum, but also active. I've read through this whole thread and you seem to be the bomb.org I'm an auto tech for CarMax, and I carry my keys on my belt loop, so my fob for my 9 month old truck gets beat...

To clear up some confusion, with a 2019-21 tradesman 2500, the dealer needs to program two fobs and add the sales code "XBM" for remote start to work. BUT if you get a fob that also has the tailgate release button, that doesn't need a sales code added to work? I keep seeing a sales code "JKR"...
