I'm getting ready to do about 3000 or so miles over the holidays with the truck camper in the back of the truck. Truck has ~23000 miles on it so far and no troubles as of yet. I'd be due for an oil change early on in the trip so I plan to head to the dealer to get it changed before heading out...

Not on a dodge truck, but I had a Subaru that did the same thing. Turned out to be the combination switch (turn signal, high beams, etc) in the steering column. Sometimes I pounded on the top of the steering column to get them to come back on. On that car, it wasn't too hard to replace once I...

Yeah, $200 for the update is a ripoff plain and simple. You can get a Garmin Nuvi for $200, with maps... . and an infinitely more user friendly interface and much better map detail. I can't remember how much it costs to update Garmin's maps, but is sure isn't $200 when you can buy a new unit for...

My 07. 5 does it... so I'd hazard a guess to say the 08s do it as well. I was in Longmont CO last December for a couple of days. It was COLD. I got the truck started one morning and as I was letting it warm (had the e brake on too) I finished securring my camper and associated gear. The truck...

Gvwr I could be wrong on this... but it says for Diesel Trucks with a GVWR of less than 8501 lbs. That would be the weight of the truck plus payload. I can't remember specifically what my GVWR is, but I am pretty sure the GVWR for my truck is more than 8501 lbs. Now, the trick is to make...

Don, I took the camper out over the weekend up to Downieville, CA. Lots of narrow and twisty mountain driving. No real off highway unless you include the little bit of in and out of the unimproved campground area. The rear swaybar addition was certainly noticeable... . or since it had been...

Seems to connect super quick every time for me (with the 2. 1 Version). Even has a signal and battery strength meter display on the Nav unit when using.

I figgured Don, Thanks for the reply. I saw some pics of your setup both before and after the bumper mod. Your front end always seemed higher than mine... but that must be due to the 35s and leveling it out with the air bags. I'm running nearly the same setup in the camper as you. I...

Same questions Don, I have seen your posts on RV.net and outfitters forum too. I also have an 07 3500 with an 07 Apex 8... looks like you may have more than one solar panel? I have the roof A/C and one 110W panel... . so looks like we are dealing with about the same weight issues. I...

I have the OEM nav system in my 2007. Looks neat, but sucks otherwise compared to say a Garmin Nuvi. Resolution/Map detail is horrible in comparison. No custom zoom levels either. Touch screen on the Garmin Nuvi is much easier to use as well. From what I have read, the OEM nav unit is Alpine...

Yeah, that is what the tech support guy said. Version 2. 0 killed bluetooth for Chrysler products unless you have the MyGig system (which can be updated by the user). I have version 2. 0. 2 on my phone... so at least two updates so far and it hasn't been fixed. I do like the phone. . but...

No such luck I spoke with apple tech support today. The guy on the phone said that all he can say is that they know there is a problem. A new software update for the phone is due out in September to address a bunch of bugs... but has no way of knowing if that will address the problems with...

I just bought a new 3g Iphone. It has v2. 0. 2 (5c1) on it and it doesn't work at all with the Uconnect system in my truck. My old samsung phone worked just fine. From a google search it looks like I am not the only one. As far as I can tell, most folks can't seem to get an iphone to work...

I get what smells like un treated diesel exhaust from time to time. But I don't think I have noticed the smell when working the truck hard. Seems to me it happens when driving around town unloaded. Which lead me to believe that it was a regen cycle in my particular case, but I don't have...

Happy with mine so far. 18k miles... no codes (fingers crossed). Mileage could be better and it does seem to be improving as the miles add up.

Not altitude About 2 months ago, I spent two weeks up at Lake Tahoe and higher elevations. Didn't have a single problem, though I had a Truck Camper in the bed of the truck... so mine was working a bit and may have kept my EGTs a bit higher than running unloaded. If you run into problems...

Did you reset the computer after your oil change at 5200 miles? Was it done at the dealer? I have yet to have a dealer reset it. Twice I got in the truck to drive away after having the dealer change the oil and the message was still on. True... about the owners manual:-laf I have...

As I recall Maybe one of the Cummins Techs can chime in here. But, this is what I recall reading about how the oil change message is triggered: It is based on duty cycle. Meaning there is some sort of algorithim in PCM/ECM module that calculates engine load based on MAP, Boost, Throttle...

What about bio at the pump? Aren't the C&C (or otherwise "fleet") customers permitted to run up to B20 without voiding the warranty? Does anyone know if what is sold as B99 at most gas stations is stuff that actually goes through a refining process? I remember reading something a while...

I don't think it will be a problem. Well, thanks to $5+ diesel, I don't cruise the truck around. When I do hit the road, it has a slide in camper on it. And, I surely don't speed as that costs even more fuel $. Legally, they can't site me for having out of state plates (because of the...
