Keeping settings (exhaust brake, cruise control etc)

[DHayden]

Did a search here and on google with no luck. I love my new to me truck but it is somewhat aggravating that my settings all revert to off every time I shut the truck off. I have gone through the settings and have not seen any way to keep my selections enabled or in memory.
Is there any way to keep the exhaust brake on, cruise control enabled, tow/haul, seat cooling etc. Would be nice for them to stay where you left them when you turn the truck back on.

EDIT: Truck is a 2015 3500 Limited

The remote start on my 11 brings the heat/cool functions to where they were when it was last shut down. I haven't found a way to save the tow haul or e-brake settings yet.

Exhaust brake settings and tow haul mode won’t persist from previous engine running to a new start ever. Neither will cruise control being enabled.

Some tunes will persist the exhaust brake mode between starts. The drivers side vented seats is automatic on my longhorn based on outside temperature but only on the lower level. To turn it on high is a manual button push. I can’t remember if the heated driver seat and steering wheel turn on automatically when it’s cold outside because it’s been so long since cold weather.

You might try leaving your trailer plugged into the hitch jack and it might leave your truck in tow/haul?

When hooked to a trailer with electric brakes, the exhaust brake will be on full when the truck is started, but everything else has to initiated at start up.

My rear park sensors will also stay off when I restart with trailer plugged in

There is a way (if RAM wanted to do so on the pickup side) to keep the exhaust brake setting memorized, as the Cab & Chassis trucks have had that feature for some time. My 2018 RAM 4500 will revert back to the previously used exhaust brake setting at startup every time.

Thanks for the replies, thought I was getting to old to figure easy stuff out! I thought for sure there was a way to keep the cruise enabled as it seemed it stayed on from start to start on our work trucks. We have Ford Dodge and Chevy though and I normally have a chevy so I guess I just get them confused.
I guess its a sign of ultimate laziness when I complain about a feature just a few inches away from the thumb huh?

Good reason to get a MD.

Was that sarcasm?????

In any event...it was never an issue manually turning on the EB in my LD 3500 over 50 months and 362k miles.

I forgot that one

I forgot that one

That one is MOPAR Standard, my 2012 Durango does the same.

Even without Trailer plugged in, I do not like that feature.
Because sometimes I forget to switch it one the next day.

I literally have Zero problems taking all of 1 second to turn switches on that I need for a particular drive. I'd rather do that than let a computer module think for me.
I like to push buttons. LOL!

Just because YOU are sarcastic about everything I write does not mean I am.

I am serious I wish my truck had that function. Now add a pickup bed to that truck.....

That's why I did not get auto lights or wipers!
