Question Desire to know how

Desire to know how to trick the truck's computer to allow the cruise control to operate as slow as 15 MPH.
We have very extended drive daily at speeds no faster than 15 MPH (BLM speed limit) and my foot get tired of holding the throttle on my 06 2500 RAM Cummins.

Try posting in the third gen section. We here have no clue how your cruise works.

Anybody have any experience using the MT2500 to read abs codes on our trucks? I have the domestic primary up to 01 but can't seem to find anything about the ABS??

It should be one of the menus when your first set it up for the vehicle. Either that, or maybe a separate cartridge for ABS? I don't remember.... it's been a while.

I have found the ABS troubleshooter cartridge on eBay. But that doesn't do any reading right? Its just info compiled for help on diagnosing problems? Maybe?

Not sure anymore, been a few years since I played with it. Friend has one, so, I will chat with him, and see if I can find anything out. (might be a day or two though....)

My 2006 Mazda 3 w/ 5-speed auto has taken a shat in the transmission department. I suspect the TCM went bad (again). I started searching this thread for code reader information when I decided to go to the Googles and see what I could find.

Introduction To The Top 5 Best OBD II Scanner Tools

I need something that will read all codes (engine, transmission, and other systems) and provide other relevant information. Other than that, I don't need anything to reprogram or tune the system.

Default Durango R/T programmer

This thread is amazing!! So many good tips and info!
As much as there is, Im actually looking to program the can bus in a 2012 durango r/t, I need to reset the sales code from the factory xenon setup to a halogen setup so the computer will recognize the proper amperage and not throw codes.
Im wondering what kind of programmer can do that without going to a dealership, because the 4 that I spoken to cant guarantee that they can do it. A couple of the service managers said I could get an aftermarket programmer and do it myself.

Any insights?
