I have a 2015 1500 outdoorsman. Looking for installation ideas. Thanks.@@nothandsomebuthandy
Thank you!!! This saved my husband this morning in his ram.
Awesome.
I cannot find the AlfaOBD app in the App Store
@matmaddux are you looking in the google play store?
On top of your screen should be a plate. When you put the cover over the rotor it has small marks that must line up it it won't work. When you shut the tractor off you should hear the filter continue spinning. Not the very outer cover the one where you need a screw driver. Must line up with notch on rotor. They are very small. Once lined up scribe a better mark. If it's not spinning after it's not working. Is order a screen and on top of the impeller is a metal plate with a hole that fits over the shaft. When it's working the inside walls will be caked with gunk. We had ours for a long time before we figured this out.
This is good to know, it is not mentioned in the service manual.
@@nothandsomebuthandy I'm doing mine right now. For some reason I had the washer that goes under the cap nut under the little nut inside that's inside. That's why I looked up this video. Everyone is unaware of these marks. It does say it in my manual. I wish I could send or post a pic. Says line up the marks scribed on rotor cover with boss for balance. Boss is the thing your holding with screw driver. Good video but that important part needs added.
@aaroncortney819 interesting, what manual do you have? I have the original manual from Belarus (in Belarusian) and the service manual from MTZ Equipment Canada
@@nothandsomebuthandy it's a Belarus manual in English And have another that's the exploded view of parts in several languages and difficult to use. It shows nothing but pictures with a number them you find the number in the back to find what part is called.
Hi dear, thanks for the very informative video on how to clean the magnetic valve. May i ask if what the possible issue of my wing van? because when i push the switch button up and down on the left side it goes normally but when i do that the other wing at the right goes up when i push the up button and even the down button the right wing will not go down but it goes up. When i tried the switch of the right wing same happened no down movement and same happened when i do that to the left switch up and down button the left wing react.
Are you able to measure power at the valve connectors with a multimeter?
@@nothandsomebuthandy not yet, but i will try it tomorrow. So power supply will be the possible cause for that? Or a clogging shaft? Thank you for your reply.
I feel that if one direction is working that it is an electrical problem, I would start there. If power good, look at physical valve.
@@nothandsomebuthandy thank you for your advice, i will personally check it and will comment soonest for update. I am very thankful seeing your video on youtube. Keep up the good work.
@user-kg5lk8gy8l good luck
Is there another app that will work with iPhone?
Not that I'm aware of. I think there is something for windows but I'm not familiar with it. I have read that people bought a cheap amazon tablet to run alfaodb rather than source an android phone.

Hi Chris, I agree it's not a great how-to video. My videos are more aimed to sharing the projects that I do in my spare time for entertainment purposes. Also for some repair jobs people just need to see the process of how something is done to get them rolling in the right direction and figure out the small details as they go.
@@nothandsomebuthandy Thank you for answering and I did not want to be disrespctful of course but since I have a 2009 CBR RR I was really curious how to take of and back the sides knowing it is anoying and not intuitif either....
@chrisolivet9084 all good, I appreciate any feedback. This is actually a friend's bike that I was helping out with and it is probably the worst bike I have ever worked on. I wish I could have been more help in the video but for the most part I was trying to figure it out myself. Putting the plastic parts back took the most time and in the end I still wasn't satisfied with how it went together but unfortunately honda designed it to fit with minimal bolts.
My spindle lock is broke. You push down on the button and the metal that holds the button breaks open. That should be a more common problem.

I have a '13 and am thinking of doing this. I didn'nt check when I changed my heater core but are the connectors already there just secured since not being used?
They should be but check first. Under the dash on the driver's side near the radio there should be two connectors wrapped in grey foam. Easy to find without taking anything apart.

I have a 4th gen 2018 Ram 2500 Tradesman. You think mine has that same wire for the reverse hot?
I believe it should. If you do get to that point let me know for sure.
@@nothandsomebuthandy I don't get why you need two wires. All that is required is one 12v trigger wire and the yellow RCA on the head unit.
Sorry I misunderstood your first question about the reverse hot, I thought you were talking about the signal wire on the reverse camera. The wires I ran through the dash and spliced in the right side panel are the reverse camera signal and ground (which connect to the yellow rca). The reverse signal wire (to turn on the camera) is included in the adapter harness.
@@nothandsomebuthandy Mine isn't working though. Everything is wired up correct. Gonna check tomorrow to see if the trigger wire is hot when in reverse.
Here's what I have in my install document: Reverse (+)¹ Body Control Module under driver’s dash, white 48-pin plug (F), pin 41 - white/tan. Does that sound like the wire colour/pin location you used?

Thanks for clarifying to unlock the steering lock before removing the fuse. I followed another video and just pulled the fuse. It didn’t work. I will unlock before pulling the fuse this time.
Nothing surprises me when your building anything.. you are so innovative and knowledgeable about what you know. My only thing i wish you would have done is painted your logo black instead of green so it would have stood out more with the different color 😉.. you need to put a patent on that rig. Good job 👏
Oh that would have been a good idea. Thanks 😁
@@nothandsomebuthandy never to late to do it 😉
@maureencameron5302 actually I don't have it any more, it's busy at work drilling thousands of holes. I actually built a second one too because we needed two.
@@nothandsomebuthandy well now you definitely need to get a patent done .. you could make millions and retire 😉 then give me a 1/4 for telling you to get it patented .. bahaha Jk but seriously though u should look into this
I got a weed lawn and hard compact soil. This would take ages I imagine.
Depends how big an area you want to do and how deep. I did my four 4'x30' gardens with it the first two years before getting a rear tine. It's definitely suited for small jobs or those with limited budgets.
They should make slanted wheel spacers, so you can get some camber while you're at it.
That would be a wild ride 😅

Thanks!
Is it ok to use a metal hammer i dont have a rubber one or should i go buy a rubber one? And do i have to tap it at the same time while hitting it?
A metal one is fine but just tap lightly to begin with. You're looking to vibrate the locking pin loose so the solenoid can pull it back. It's best to have a second person who can wiggle the steering wheel a little and press the start button while you tap on the box. Once the car goes to the on position you can stop tapping and pull the fuse. Don't forget to have the key fob in the car with a good battery. Maybe put it in the fob slot to be safe.
@@nothandsomebuthandythx! Your a lifesaver! The red key light still flashing is that normal? I pulled out the fuse.
@Abundance4LL if it is the red key light and not the yellow one you may need a new battery in the fob, try putting it in the fob slot and try a new good quality CR2032 battery to see if it goes away
@@nothandsomebuthandyit only flashes when car is off im assuming that is normal.
@Abundance4LL oh yes that is the anti theft, definitely normal
Broooo your a hero ❤ thanks for the hint with hammer. Will now a hammer in my 370Z 😂 greetings from switzerland 💪
Once you pull the fuse you no longer need the hammer
Oh okay thanks for the tipp 💪
i’m not sure if this is the same problem i’m having but basically it’s a hit or miss sometimes my car will unlock with the key fob sometimes i have to manually open the door with the key then i get in and sometimes it start with just push to start and sometimes i sit there for minutes putting it in the little fob under the steering wheel and pressing unlock until it finally decides to turn on is this what the problem is or does my problem sound different? btw this has been going on for months now
i’ve changed the battery in the key multiple times still does it
Just to be clear, when you say the car finally turns on do you mean the start button lights up to the ACC or ON position or that the engine starts up?
When you unlock with the key fob are you pressing the unlock button on the fob or pressing the button on the door handle?
@@nothandsomebuthandy the car engine starts up, and im pressing the unlock on key fob
How old is the main battery in the car? The key fob signal antenna in the car seems to be really sensitive to less-than-perfect voltage and I've seen that even if the battery starts well the key is not detected properly. I've also read about people changing the antenna but a new battery is inexpensive and easy to change.
Those are very good saws i've had one for 30 years. The ignition is only down fall. They will get it in for their size. To bad the got in bed with the echo whores.
Thank yu for your honesty! I’m inspired and will start using my wash ports! Tyu!
I would love to see a video on how the position control arm works with the 3 point lift. I haven't seen any videos on it and the user's manuals are not very clear. Thanks!
I'm not sure what the position control arm is? I'm fairly new to tractors myself. I have the main lever that raises the hitch up and down, and I have a draft control lever at the very back of the console that has settings I, II, and III but the cable to mine is broken so I don't use it. Is one of those controls what you're interested in?
My grinder is leaking oil what could be the problem?
The grease in the head may be breaking down. What brand grinder?
neither tappy tappy nor replacement worked for me. any ideas? wont even take a jump. Battery tested perfect and fully charged
These are the toughest issues to figure out on modern cars. Some suggestions to check: try your spare key and/or a new battery. Try starting in neutral or check the safety switch on the trans. Check ASD relay (this was an issue on older mopar stuff). If I think of anything else I'll let you know.
@@nothandsomebuthandy Also went to the extreme of putting it in manual neutral (that was new to me) and trying to jumper the Positive Battery to the Solenoid terminal. i would have thought this would at least force a crank, but all it did was spit a sorry spark and then nothing...i'm at a loss. thanks for the reply. If i finally figure this out I'll share, otherwise she may wind up "struck by lightning"
@bobgang8700 is possible you got a bad replacement starter. Rare but it happens.
@@nothandsomebuthandy I did think the same thing.
Worth returning I think
I can’t seem to find any videos on install of a 2016-2018 rav hybrid. Can’t seem to get the cap off
I don't know much about the hybrid but if it has standard bulbs like the other models the caps are sometimes tough to get off. I have had to resort to a hammer and screwdriver to get them moving before. They need between 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn but you may have to feel a little to find the spot where the tab and groove line up.
Great Video man. My truck is doing the same...I gonna try that...👍
Good luck 🤞
The canbus box get real hot is it safe to put in the headlight housing ,read that shouldn’t put close to plastic and wires , meaning inside the rav4 headlight housing is plastic .
Are you sure you have a canbus box on your LEDs? Maybe it's an LED driver? Drivers tend to get hot while regulating voltage and current. What brand LEDs do you have?
@@nothandsomebuthandy Auxito 120w Hb3 9005 its the same led headlights you installed canbus box meaning the small box unit with the led blubs is it safe to tuck it in and seal with the dust cap ,meaning will it get extremely hot in there , your led going good still seeing you did yours 9 months ago.
@blessed9648 yes no issues with ours, definitely not hot enough to damage anything
@@nothandsomebuthandy Tested it out before I put the dust cap on and held the lil box unit dint realize it got so hot to the touch ,ok I’ll see but the 120w is bright with the cool white I like a lot .
How many miles more did you get per gallon after you did this
It's hard to say if it made any difference on mileage since the bigger tires and lift kit added so much rolling resistance and drag. What I did notice is that the truck feels like it's in the correct gear based on the load compared to before.
Very nice and helpfull video. Thank you

Do the steering wheel controls work correctly?
Yes they do
They’ve been making these for G35/G37s for YEARS, these have allot of support.
I also would like to know if the screen dims when you put your lights on?
@jakekane7296 it may, there are so many settings and it has all the inputs that the factory radio had. I just have mine set on dark mode always on.
The dark mode is good for driving at night?
That's definitely an aftermarket kit but as long as it works there's no need to spend the extra money on the Mopar kit. I'd also note that the kit in your Amazon link is for trucks 2016 and newer. Ram has changed the module a few times in the 4th Gens, 2009-2012's share the same module, 2013-2014's share the same module and 2015 uses a module unique for that one year.
Great info, I'm going to update the video description with links to modules for all the different years. Thank you
