    Banks iDash Promo

    Just a FYI, I got this today. I have had mine for a few years and like it. Wish there had been a sale like this when I got mine!

    B-Bus battery voltage vs ECU battery voltage?

    If the grid heater relay is not disconnected, I had the thought that having a voltage PID on my iDash gauge layout might allow me to notice a drop when the grid heater is cycling, to see how often or even if mine cycles after the initial engine start. I have two PID choices: "B-Bus Battery...

    Is this a correct/good replacement for the OEM batteries?

    I had an issue with unlock/lock that I posted in another thread but that did not get any responses. However, I am thinking that at 4 years, even with only 16,000 miles, it may be OEM battery related. If I do replace the two batteries, is the below the correct size, etc.? I have seen the brand...

    Passive lock/unlock stopped working?

    The handle and buttons on the front doors no longer work even when the remotes are right there. Tailgate also behaving the same. Tried with both remotes. If I use the remote itself, lock/unlock works fine it is just the passive door handle and button and tailgate button that is not working...

    Suggestions for Gauge PID

    I have one spot on my gauge setup that I keep rotating things into because I can't find one that I feel about like I do the other seven spots. In the below photo, it is the bottom left spot where PM1 is now. That never changes much so it seems of no interest really. Even the bottom right...

    A few tire questions

    My original stock Firestone Trans tires were wearing so much more on the rear at 8,000 miles than the front that I decided not to rotate them at that point. This is because I have not been overly happy with the handling and steering of these tires on the front, especially on wet roads and...

    Bad Fuel Causing Regen Issue?

    All my regens to this point have been 24 hours. Never had one start in between. Just got back from a 2.500 mile camping trip, pulling our 8,000 lb. TT. At the apogee of the trip visiting relatives in northern Colorado, the following happened. The truck was at 14 hours and my iDash “DPF RG%” was...

    Warning From Ram - Annoying

    I thought I saw this talked about a long time ago and maybe I even posted in that thread. I can't find it now though. Anyway, Yesterday I started getting emails and warnings from Ram about the recalls I have been unsuccessfully trying to get done for at least 9 months, or one of them maybe...

    PCM Software?

    I asked this on another site last week when this one was not working but got no answers.... Is there is a way to see what version of pcm software my 2021 has? I looked through the EVIC and on my Banks iDash but I don't see it. Is there another way? I do not have AlphaOBD. On one of my service...

    Grid Heater Disconnect Codes

    Thought I would post this in its own thread just for clarity although it has been discussed/debated inside somewhat related posts before. This might make it easier for others wondering about this. So, if you disconnect the grid heater relay and then always push twice to start, generally all...

    24 Hour Regens No Longer Happen

    I considered just posting this in the thread about the DPF where it was previously discussed. But this is really not about the DPF and is specific to my truck so I will put it here. For background, those post numbers above are for this thread...

    Is This the Grid Heater Bolt?

    I was just curious about this "jiggle test" so I looked at a couple of videos. For someone who would not recognize a grid heater if I tripped over it, the videos were not 100% clear but as far as I could tell from them and tracing the wire, what I show in this photo should be the...

    I know it only hurts your wallet but...

    I had this issue with my previous truck also when it was in warranty. I had that truck for 20 years and when I sold it, it had 70,000 miles. I drive the new truck even less, but this past year was a record low. All camping trips being local was the main contributor. Last year I put about...

    Kaodtech Bypass Connection Question

    I am finally installing the Kaodtech that arrived a month or so ago after a short backorder wait. They are out of stock on their website again so must be having a hard time keeping up with orders. Anyway: I am doing what Kaodtech instructions call the "temporary" install. I will connect to...

    Need Help With 7 Pin Connector Issue

    I needed to replace the plugin bumper connector. I was using a multi tester on the truck wiring side with the trailer light check running. I had the OEM bumper connector disconnected. I slipped with the tester, and I touched it to two of the pins other than ground. I heard that dreaded faint...

    Dealer Service Survey

    Does anyone know specifically how the survey Ram sends you in an email after service works? Does it get back to the service rep with your name on it so they know how you filled it out? After a recent service, I was bugged by my service rep several times to make sure I fill it out. He sent me...

    How to avoid triggering alarm when unlocking truck?

    I thought I saw this mentioned somewhere a year or so ago but can't find it now. If my truck is locked and I use the key to unlock the driver's door, the alarm sounds. How can this be avoided? I can't find a setting to control this. Simply, we would like to be able to unlock our truck's door...

    DEF Tank Disconnect Question

    Not sure yet, but I am thinking of siphoning old DEF out of my tank to refill with new before a long towing trip. I only put 2,000 miles on the truck this past year and there is still a 1/2 tank of Def in it. This Def is from a jug I put in a year ago and had a manufacture date of Feb 2021...

    Coolant Question

    My manual says to use "Mopar Antifreeze/Coolant 10 Year/150,000 mile". All the posts I read agree with this for the 6.7. However all those same posts describe that coolant as purple. Even the answered questions on the Amazon page selling the Mopar coolant say it is purple. The coolant in my...

    Can anyone ID this trailer body?

    I get asked all the time what kind of truck bed my old utility trailer is. I always have to say I don't know as I have not a clue. It occurred to me that all the old truck general knowledge here might have a guess? This trailer was old when I bought it for $200.00 30+ years ago but have no...
