What did you do TO your RAM today?

I did everything but the alignment myself. Wasn’t too difficult, just time consuming but I kinda enjoy doing it. I will say I feel my age after working under the truck all week haha. Im so sore everywhere - feels like I got hit by a truck

additional bed lighting

I had some LED strip lights under the bed rails on my 2020 w/o RamBox. They were very bright. I took them out before trading in. Just a quick glance inside my 2022 w/ RamBox, I didn’t see many places to install them, firing down. Where are these mounted? I’m installing my MX4 tomorrow and will take a closer look.

on the bottom of the silver cargo rail, just enough room to slide it up there, the path of light is slightly obstructed but the light is better than nothing and the light is concealed, i didn't want to see it
 
stock night edition wheels, 295/65 (20). Got some run on the sway, a little more on the arms. Just gotta remember when to stop turning lol.
Put a 1500 buck deposit down (Pick up on Tues) and bought a tonneau cover and side steps on Amazon coming in on Friday of next week. I have my local dealership set up to put the spray liner in after pick up... I got it out of state 500 mile drive trading in my 2021 1500... Don't ask... But wanted MORE POWER. The 1500 is...adequate...for my 6700 lb travel trailer but not optimum and I miss NAV, heated seats/wheel etc. I just happened to stumble across a Laramie with the 6.4 gasser AND the console instead of bench, so got my interior boxes checks and the 3000 lb payload and 13K total towing will be gravy.

As an aside, but my dealer's service department guys seemed almost happy that I got it somewhere else and said, don't worry they will take care of everything. I asked about parts, discounts and one of them complained that even they do NOT get any discounts on anything... They do NOT have a high opinion of their own sales department. I don't either. I noted that their dealership was marking trucks up as much as 7 to 10K and they scoffed like they thought it was BS also. They said there was NO connection between them and sales... Very interesting...their attitude...

I added Banks Ram Air CAI system this weekend. Most everything was simple and straightforward. Only issue is that I COULD NOT detach the MAF harness from the sensor. I flipped out the grey tab, but could not unhook the harness from the sensor. I was pulling so hard, I thought I would break the harness. So I just installed the sensor and harness in the new air intake tube together.

Experience: shouting out to @Brutal_HO on his Gale Banks fan boy issues - this air intake has changed my life. At least 50 rwhp, 30+ mpg, i think there is now more hair on my head. And life in the bedroom has improved dramatically!!!

Seriously, the only measurable / noticable difference is that my IAT temps have come down about 5 degrees F and the turbo is much louder. There are 2 IAT sensors - one in the cold air intake before the turbo, and one right before the intake horn. Both are now showing cooler temps (relative to the turbo intake temp and CAC temp). Not sure why, but they are.

That said, the real reason I implemented this mod is my long-term goal of installing a compound turbo setup . Need both the cold air intake and the intake manifold (as well as the charge air cooler) to be able to move much more air than they can today. Slowly but surely putting all the support pieces in place (including ARP 625's coming soon and Allison Transmission Conversion) before installing the compound turbo setup.
