    Can't add VIN to Mopar account

    I set up an account on Mopar(dot)com when I first got my truck and added in the VIN #. For a couple years I'd get emails giving me status, etc. Now I go to the account, login, and nothing is on my Dashboard. So I attempt to add my VIN and get this error: (I xxx'd out the last 3 #s). Any ideas why?

    Very warm center floor tray.

    I have the split-bench front seats with the lift-up center console. On the floor in front of the center console is a small tray sitting on the driveshaft hump where I put sunglasses, keys, etc. in. I picked up something out of that tray the other day and was surprised how warm it is. (This...

    The 'kill switch' passes the house.

    This topic was discussed several years ago when the idea was floated that monitoring and acting upon drunken erratic behavior was to be built into cars manufactured beginning 2026. It was both mocked and reasoned back then and soon forgot about. Well, the beast raised it's ugly head again and...

    **No LONGER AVAILABLE** These Open Range A/T tires (LT275/70R-18) are virtually brand new with less than 500 miles on them. They are excellent AT tires and I would keep them except my old ears have become quite sensitive to road noise. I swapped them out for HT (highway) tires. See the...

    Advice on quiet tires

    I just changed out the factory-installed tires with Open Range A/T Plus tires from Les Schwab. LT275/70R18 size. The factory tires, Firestone Transforce, were very quiet and I was hoping for at least the same quietness with these new tires. I live in the Pacific NW with mainly rainy winter...

    Does adding air bags worsen the ride even with low pressure?

    I'm considering having some air bags installed on my truck in anticipation of buying a popup camper. I also will be taking a long road trip in a couple of weeks and MAY purchase the camper somewhere along the way. Until I actually get and install the camper, I will be inflating the airbags at...

    Will a Bluetooth camper camera pair with AUX camera setting in console?

    I'm thinking of getting a Wolf Creek camper that has a Bluetooth rear camera. The only camera I have on my truck at this time (see sig) is the Parkview rear backup camera. I looked in the console controls and see there is an entry for AUX1 and AUX 2 cameras. Do the AUX cameras support...

    Outrageous price for bulbs at dealership

    I was at the dealers getting an oil change (I'll let them do it until warranty is over) and I needed two taillight bulbs for the truck, 7443. A quick walk to the parts dept, the parts fella looked up the part number and mumbled something I thought was, "that'll be $7." Not quite understanding...

    What is the best battery for my truck?

    I'm heading out on a 6K mile road trip and think I should replace the battery before I leave. The original battery is 2.5 yrs old and I've read on these forums that the quality of the original batteries is questionable. Since I'll be traveling about half the distance on non-Interstate roads, I...

    Recommendations for a heavy-duty grille for cross-country travel.

    I'll be taking a long road trip through Montana, Wyoming, most all the mid-west and central states to Alabama and back this Sept. Unless one has a heavy-duty front bumper/grille setup it's recommended to stay off the highways during dusk and at night to avoid hitting deer and antelope. I've...

    What fuses to pull to disable ability to start my truck?

    I'll be out of town for a couple weeks and will have my truck parked outside during that time. The key fobs will be in a faraday bag and in a safe. However, I'd like to insure that no one can nefariously start my track and steal it. Are there some fuses I can pull that will insure that won't...

    Dash blanket to keep glare down

    I've got a black rag covering the center dash open tray to keep the chrome rim from blinding me when the sun is in front. However, the glare on the entire black dash can be very hard on these old eyes with that same sun coming in anywhere from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. Without wanting the truck...

    Error code P0733 popped up today - updates

    Well, my rig just threw its first error code today along with 'Service Transmission' on the dash. As seen by my signature, I've got the Hemi 6.4L with the 8-speed 8HP75-LCV transmission. Searching the forums for P0733 "Gear 3 Incorrect Ratio" only returns a handful of mentions in the Aisin...

    Reverse camera still on after shifting into Drive

    Recently, possibly after and OTA update, the rear backup camera stays active when I shift from Reverse to Drive. Before that, the camera went off immediately after I shifted into Drive. Now, when I sift from reverse to drive the camera stays on sometimes for 15-20 seconds before turning off...

    Strange sound when turning off engine

    Starting about a month ago, when I turn off the engine there's about a 1 second noise that sounds like dragging a chair across a metal floor - and it sounds like coming from the speakers. Never did before, but now every time I shut down. I'll try to get an audio recording of this and post it...

    Aftermarket rear window with manual slider?

    [EDIT] - Please disregard. I had forgotten that I posted this same question months ago. My one regret with my truck is that I didn't purchase the rear window with a slider. If you have experience with an aftermarket window with a manual slider I'd appreciate the info. See my signature for the...

    I'd appreciate any clues on where to purchase some Delmonico Red touch-up paint. The local dealers have had my orders on BO for a year. They're racks of touch-up paint have most other colors but not the elusive Delmonico Red. Any ideas?

    Scanner recommendation, please.

    I've read lots of posts here where folks have narrowed down CELs quickly with a scanner, so it's time for me to get one. Please let me know your opinion of a decent scanner fairly low priced. Thanks!

    How to turn off the front courtesy lights console center light?

    At night, when the headlights are on, the little center light on the front courtesy lights console is continually on. Even though the light is fairly dim, it is still distracting and annoying at night. It is bright enough to illuminate the carpet below it. I like as dark a cab as possible at...
