I put in the Painless Cirkit Boss 3 line auxiliary fuse box today. My truck-loving neighbor was laughing at me - he knew I'd be modding that brand new truck within the month, and he was right. Dash cam switches on with the ignition, just like I wanted it to.

Lots of good info here, thanks!

4WD is for off road only, then? The manual said (yeah yeah, I'm one of Those Guys who reads the manuals) "The 4WD LOCK and 4WD LOW positions are designed for loose, slippery road surfaces only. ". I figured a wet Texas road would count as slippery. Needs snow or ice?

Thanks, guys! I was using it while driving in the rain both times. Austin's roads get slick. My old truck's rear tires would frequently spin when starting up because of it.

Newbie 4x4 owner question: My new rig is the 2015 Ram 2500 with electronic shifted transfer case. I've got it in 4WD LOCK. When slowly backing up or going forward AND turning the wheels sharply (for instance, backing out of my drive or into a parking lot), the transmission or gears feel like...

Here I am with the new truck! It barely fits in the parking garage at work - there may be 8" clearance.

I have the Tradesman model, so the roof console only does lights. I wonder if there are other power feeds up in there that aren't being used since I don't have the fancy accessories.

I'll check this out, thanks TM and Jim!

It has the 68RFE.

As much as I liked my old '02, this new '15 is a beautiful truck. How did I get by without it? :D

I want to run dedicated power for my dash cam and trailer TPMS. I'd planned on tapping the power from the fuse panel, but then discovered that it's been moved to the engine compartment next to the battery. How are you guys hooking up your extra gear? Does anyone make a pig tail that can be...

I pointed out the window sticker said 18" wheels w/ chrome hubs, so he gave me the Laramie chromed hubs and wheels at no extra cost. He couldn't explain why the rig had the base model hubs. Hope to pick the truck up Weds.

No, the truck's got these 17" wheels on painted steel hubs - the basic wheels. It looks stupid with everything else so shiny. Checked the window sticker after I got home, and find that the chrome package is supposed to include those wheels. So, back to the dealership tomorrow to insist that they...

Turns out they're giving me a pretty smoking deal, according to TrueCar. I'm well under the local and national average selling price for a 2015 truck w/ my configuration. So, I just need to get the correct chromed steel tires back on there without paying an up fee, and I'm golden. Thanks for...

Hey guys - I received a quote for what I thought was a 2016 2500 4x4 w/ 5th wheel tow prep. Nice truck, I put a down payment to hold it til next week until I get can some cash together to lower the price. When I get home I'm looking over the window sheet (which wasn't on the truck) and I...
