This week I installed the Banks Pedal Monster on my 2016 Ram. So far I have found that it has eliminated the acceleration lag caused by the software upgrade for emissions purposes. It uses your cell phone to select pedal sensitivity. They are Stock, City, Sport, and Track. A pair of bar graphs...
I Googled and found that Dodge started putting Apple Car Play in 2018 and up high end models. I have an Iphone and it works with either system without a cable. Why are you so hung up on Apple Car Play?
Dodge trucks do not have car play. You need to check to see if the vehicle you purchase has the u-connect blue tooth installed. if not, there is a kit you can purchase. The touchscreen display should say phone at the bottom. You can see if your phone is compatible by visiting...
I have a 2016 Ram 1500 Longhorn. It comes with Uconnect that is bluetooth. Once your phone is connected through bluetooth, it always recognizes your phone.
I have a 2016 and have had frequent regens due to 80 percent clogged DPF. When you say drive at highway speeds that means to me, unless you are on the freeway, roughly 50 mph. The filter will not complete a regen unless the engine RPM is between 2,000 and 2,500 RPM. So you need to drive at...
The Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 synthetic oil is specific for Diesel engine applications. I do not see any information on the Pennzoil 5W-40 synthetic oil that refers to being for diesel engines.
A good friend of mine had a neighbor mechanic install an after market fuel filter in his 2016 Eco Diesel. The media in the filter came apart and clogged the fuel system. It cost him big bucks to get the system flushed and restored. Use Mopar fuel filters only.
The letter from FCA was to alert 2014-2016 diesel owners that the first AEM caused hesitation and poorer fuel mileage and that a second update was approved by EPA. The eco-diesel owners will receive an official recall letter regarding the second update in the near future. No known date. I...
For all that read this. I agree the letter was poorly written. Yesterday (1/17/2020) I spoke with an FCM person in the recall department. After several minutes of checking she informed me that the purpose of the letter was to alert us 2014-2016 owners that a second software upgrade has been...

I had the emissions upgrade done during the summer and got poor acceleration after the upgrade. Now that the weather has gotten cooler in Atlanta, the lag seems to be much less or totally gone. Anyone else experiencing the same cool weather performance?
Hey Folks,
Has anyone drawn any connection between the particulate sensor and exhaust filter regeneration? I suspect that my 2016 has had a defective particulate sensor for some time. From the time it was new, I got frequent messages saying exhaust filter 80% full. Last week the malfunction...
My 1500 diesel is a 2016 with a little less than 24,000 miles. The repairs were covered under warranty. I had been having what I thought was an excessive number of exhaust filter regenerations. I suspect it was caused by the sensor before it fully failed and I got the malfunction light. The...
I just turned 11,200 miles and I have been seeing the 80-100% exhaust filter regeneration fairly often. The last time it popped up I ignored it for a few short trips. On the drive I expected to clear it, the check engine light and throttle control icon came on. At the same time the exhaust...
