Thank you. I am happy to hear that you found the videos useful.

Excellent to hear, thank you. I am happy that you are finding the information helpful. Keep us all updated on your progress.

Thanks for the comment. It would not be to hard to go from a console to a jump seat. You would need the correct jump seat option, dash trims, cup holder, center seat mounting hardware, and lap belt for the center seat that attaches to the drivers seat,

Thanks for the comment. Correct that I did not point out the piston height in this video. As this 6.4 is still using stock pistons and connecting rods. As these components are stock and no machining has been done to the block or heads, we are safe to use the height in which it ends up being when using the timing marks on the crank gear with the marks on the chain and cam phaser. As the lower crank gear is keyed to the crank we know the relation of the crank and thus travel of the piston is good. Now if we had machine work done to the block, heads and or are using non factory pistons or connecting rods then we would need to take measurements for valve clearance.

Hello, thanks for the comment. Here are links to the install video and ebay where I got the steering wheel. Install: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdd8ds-a2Lvdfok.html Steering Wheel: www.ebay.com/itm/165561528375

Pushing on the center bolt is fine. The issue as you will see, when we get the steering wheel removed is that the center splined section of the steering wheel get struck onto the steering column.

@@solargarage im guessing thats why you should replace the bolt everytime. either way thanks plan on changing mine soon.

Great combo . Currently waiting on my order for install ..

Hello, thanks for the comment. If your original mirrors did not have turns or puddles, then yes they will need to be enabled in order for the door control module to use them.

Thanks for the comment, here is a link to Mag-Hytec's install for this pan. Looks like they call for 7-9 ft. lbs. mag-hytec.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/Dodge-45RFE_545RFE.pdf

Hello, the laptop is connected to the OBD 2 port via a USB to OBD 2 connector. Here is a link to the one used: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B081VQVD3F

@@solargarage Oh cool that's a lot cheaper than the bluetooth one.

@@solargarage She ain't having it buddy. It connects to the cluster but won't change anything. Always get the failed message.

@@spidernose What year vehicle?

@@solargarage My truck is a 2018 2500 tradesman. Doner vehicle was a 2014 1500

That is my thought as well. The only issue would be 2009 - 2012 they would be different from the 2013 - 2019 setups.

@@solargarage I got an evic cluster off of ebay from a 2014 1500. Mine is a 2018 2500 tradesman.

@@spidernose Sounds good.

@@solargarage Put that 1500 cluster in my 2500 gasser today. All went well. My usb ODB2 will be here Thursday. Will be watching your video so I don't mess anything up lol.

@@spidernose Happy to hear that all is going well.

Thanks for the comment, always happy too hear from fellow manual cat owners.

Thanks for the comment. Here is a link to the install. In this is videos description is a link to the steering wheel used. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hdd8ds-a2Lvdfok.html

Thanks for the comment, it is a black finish.

Thanks for the comment and agree that would be an awesome feature to have.

Hello, Thanks for the comment I will try and answer these. 1. I have the China version and Yes if you e-mail the US based Launch for tech support they will direct you over to the China support page. Currently I have not needed support in the 3 years that I have been using this scanner. This China version has had no issues scanning and working with my US based Ram's, Challengers, or Jeeps. 2. I had my subscription expire and I could still access the diagnostic scans and tests, until I renewed my subscription I just could not update to the latest version. 3. I got a 2 year renewal from X431tool.com. It was priced quite nicely and worked well. 4. The X431 Pro 3S+ is still in use, the current version looks to be called the 2024 Elite. The following link I believe is for the China version. www.amazon.com/dp/B092894STV The USA based ones, I believe are under Launch Tech USA.

@@solargarage Thank you you for your quick response to my questions 👍🏻. I just watched another review video and your right the updated version of this is the Ace Elite. I've been looking at this one and the Xtool IP1919. Good to know it won't brink out on me if I don't upgrade it for a few years. Again appreciate your videos and input.

Excellent information, thanks.

Sorry for the delay. I did a full update and look over the supported models. I use a China version of this tool and I do not see McLaren on the list.

@solargarage I appreciate you looking. It is probably something you have to purchase in the mall app of the tool would be my guess.

@@jordanthomas2210 Excellent catch. Yes sorry forgot about the Mall. Yes it is in the Mall section and can be purchased as an upgrade. Currently is listing for $63.92 US.

Thanks for the comment. Agreed so far a few years later and no issues noted.

Thank you, glad to hear that you are finding the video useful. We will be doing a similar upgrade to a 2012 Ram 1500 once all the parts come in.

Hello, thanks for the comment. Roughly I would say now that we know how it can be done, using this same method about an hour to drop and install the pan. The most time consuming part was just dealing with the oil pickup, from not raising up the engine.

How about taking it apart and cleaning it out.

That is awesome.

It’s called stfu you get the point

Thanks. Awesome to hear about the upgrades. I did a 3K stall in our other project truck a 1500 along with a cam and procharger, quite a bit of performance difference.

Thanks. We have good roads around where I live, that and I wash/wax more more that I most likely should.

Hello, Thanks for the comment. In my opinion if it were me I would start with Ghost Lock as you get GPS tracking and the ability to disable the fuel pump. However that does require a subscription service to the provider that runs the GPS tracking service.

Thanks for the comment, happy to hear that the video helped.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the comment. The only items I am aware of to check for when looking for an upgraded cluster, is if you have a diesel or gas 4th gen. No difference for engine size and or trim that I am aware of.

@@solargarage thank you so much for the update!

Thanks for the comment. For this setup they do not suggest using this system to turn the fuel pump off long term. By default they enable the full pump via the Normally closed contacts of a relay. When the fuel pump is disabled it does this by energizing the relay which then opens the normally closed relay connections, so when the fuel pump is disabled the relay is being energized and using power.

@@solargarage long periods of time as in days and weeks or hours , cause id like to turn mine off overnight just to be safe.

@@Leakurs No sure. Looking at there documentation I see just a mention about not using it to turn the pump off for extended periods. Might be better to reach out to JDi. Also they have there Ghost power system which can and does kill power long term to the start/stop button.

I find that the Ghost Lock system and Zautomotive Tazer pedal disable feature interfere with one another. ​@@solargarage

Thanks for the comment, currently no plans on selling.

@@solargarage thank you for your reply. Hey keep me in mind if or when yal ever do :)

Thanks for the comment. I can't re-program clusters for vehicles that I do not own as it can into legal issues. However you can program your own replacement using AlphaOBD or there are many sellers of replacement clusters on EBay that can program them prior to shipment, making the replacement plug n play.

Thanks for the comment. Yes I still have the removed jump seat, all of the removed parts are in storage for now, if we should need to revert back to factory.

@@solargarage can you send me pictures somehow of all the parts you have removed? I have no idea what im getting myself into and what all I need

@solargarage is there anyway for you to send me a picture of those parts? I have no idea what I am getting myself into or exactly what parts I need?
