Did the parking sensors get turned off? I think mine made a beep when I put it in reverse when I first bought the truck, but I turned off the sensors on day 2 and haven't heard a beep since.

My grandpa had an old joke about a large individual whose pager went off in a grocery store line. The little boy promptly informed his mother to look out as she was backing up!
Mine's never done that.
Does the manual for the 2016+ models have the tables showing the fuse locations with the abbreviations, amps, and explanations like the attached picture? In my 2014, it was located in section 4-3 of the 'Do It Yourself Maintenance' section. In my 2016, this maintenance section is now in section 6-3. On pg. 481, it mentions how to check and replace fuses, but there's no tables showing all the locations and circuit descriptions. Am I missing something or did they not put it in the newer model manuals?
@mcgaskins, parking sensors work as they should but still no single beep, initially, when shifting into reverse as there has trditionally been.
The bigger mystery is the ac and what it's doing.

I bought an ARB E-Z Deflator, but the rock rings on my RW's get in the way so I can't use it. Grrrrr. What do you guys with RW's use to air down?
You're not alone ... I ran into the same issue. You could round out the well a bit more on the rw beauty ring so you can continue to use that device or something like this digital readout which I prefer because digital is cool. There's a air release on the trigger. Not real concerned about air down at lightening speed anyhow.

Or these which I have zero experience with but do know guys that use them and like them.

I've been using a set of Staun deflators for about 8 years, but I picked up an ARB deflator at Slee just before Cruise Moab. I found like you that it doesn't work with the RW rings so I was relieved I kept my Stauns. I'd recommend them because they're easy and fast, but keep in mind they can lose their pre set settings over time if the lock nut gets loose.

I use a set of Staun deflators. By the time you put the fourth one on...the first tire is pretty close to being aired down (38psi down to about 22), so they are very quick.
I use stauns as well - just be certain to factor in altitude variances when calibrating, i.e. your driveway calibration may not give you desired result when wheeling >2k ft difference. I set mine to 32psi @ 5280' which gets me close to 25psi @ 8000'. There's a fudge factor and it's easier to let more out than having to put more back in. And a little blue locktite helps with what @mcgaskins was referring 
Thanks everyone for your advice. I've always just used the back of a tire pressure gauge to manually deflate. I was really excited to get a real deflator, but alas, I was left...deflated. I'll try the Stauns.
Thanks for the tip on the Stauns. My ARB deflator broke anyways. The retaining c-clip disappeared so unless I hold the plug it'll fly out into the abyss of off-road land.
I use the Stauns too. And if you're not looking for deflate speed record you could set 2 Stauns to one pressure, and the other 2 to another so you have some options out there. I run a bit higher pressure if fully loaded vs not, or if the trail seems extra jagged (25 vs 19). That said, even at 19psi and full load, sidewalls all looking like they could be vulnerable, yet to have a flat. The KO2s/e rated tires can really take the abuse, and I know cause you should see my wheels! Torn up and I'm sure all the hits they took, also the side of the tires did as well. Good thing there will be lots of cheap stock wheels available!
Great tip to have two pairs set to different PSI settings!
That is a good idea to set them differently. I forgot to update the settings from my last rig before I used them on the 200, and I accidentally deflated my tires to ~13 psi the first time
I've found that in most settings these tires have performed well around 19-22 psi.

Stauns will be waaay faster that manually holding each with a pin...
Christo told me that to low a pressure negates your lift. Seems logical. I've never had any issues running at 25psi.
Just throwing that out there.
Cheers to Friday!

I dragged my rear diff hard a couple times on last years adventures! It's def a balancing act, I agree 25(ish) seemed to be a nice happy medium! Cheers to Friday, just sitting at work waiting to get the call that my wife is going into labor! Translation doing no work and hoping to get saved by the bell

On the other hand...if you aired down an un-lifted truck? -You're into negative lift territory. So I wouldn't say it zaps the lift... -maybe just kinda gives back some of the clearance you gained from because you're squashed lower. Put another way... If you're airing way down? -Hope you've got a lift to help keep your belly off the ground!
