What did you do TO your RAM today?

Took a little more cutting and drilling than I anticipated, but finally got everything keyed alike. Aux tank filler neck lock, aux tank pump nozzle lock, and tool box lock all use the same key. Then I have the front and rear hitch keyed to my truck key but might switch them out to the same as the rest.

Added the TVD Vinyl decals tonight. I didn’t wash the truck but did washed the spots where the vinyl went really well. Happy with the outcome. I was in between leaving the badging and removing it and thought I’d try this for a cleaner look for a while. I screwed up the border on other side of the hood so I removed the one shown in this pic. May just leave it chrome.

Step 1
Sit in your car's driver seat and close the door. Make sure that all doors are closed.
Step 2
Place your Dodge Ram key in the ignition. Do not turn on the car. Buckle your seat belt.
Step 3
Turn the ignition key to the "On" position. The seat belt reminder light will turn off after a few moments.
Step 4
Buckle and unbuckle your seat belt three times within 60 seconds of turning the vehicle on. Buckle your seat belt one more time.
Turn the ignition to "Lock." The chime will sound one time to indicate that BeltAlert has been disabled.

Warning
It is against the law to drive without your seat belt buckled.

And / Or
Get a Seat Belt Extender, then you won't be restricted or have some features of your vehicle disabled.

I Did Both
New to this forum, not new to Rams. I have the push button start are there similar instructions for the push button? TIA

Yes push button is similar. It took me 3 different attempts for it to work on my truck due to operator error lol
 
Took the advice from a thread I started. I removed all of the hard water spots and detailed the trucks with the products recommended in that thread.

I used Boat Bling Hot Sauce water spot remover first. Then, I went back over the trucks with Aero Cosmetics Wash Wax All.

Just with the water spot remover:

After using the wash Wax:

Got some parts for both trucks. My father's decided to throw a P0765 (shift solenoid D code) and put his truck into limp mode while towing a trailer.

In response, we got an ATS valve body with a new billet channel plate and solenoid pack. Since we will be in there and draining fluid already, also will be putting on a deep transmission pan and thermal bypass valve delete.

Mine got a thermal bypass valve delete as well. Sitting in traffic, it has stuck a couple times causing the temps to bump up to 200* when typically my Aisin sits at 165*. When it finally does open, temps plummet back down to 165* almost instantly even when sitting still.

Install shenanigans coming soon.

Installed a few new parts over the last few days. Replaced the lens on my diode dynamics s3 fog lights with yellow to try out, and installed a 18” DD light bar in the bumper. Also ditched the lower valance in favor of the cjc off-road intercooler guard. Last but not least replaced the sway bar with a Thuren torsion unit. What a ride difference that made.

And of course some pictures or it didn’t happen

Noticed how Hemi chirpy it is. That's what I noticed....again today. Disappointed as it really is a nice truck and when people ask why it sounds that way I feel I have to bash it and say...."ehh, it's a Ram. They all sound that way".

Final got some pics, had the Leveling kit by Carli installed, 35's, wheels, waiting on the sway bar... body roll is noticeably bad now, but overall performance is much better. Installed a front camera and fas-top cover. Had Banks install pedal monster, monster air, boost tubes and the iDash. Big improvement there as well

Putting the front cat filter conversion I broke the little retainer clip for the fuel line so that's on pause but got the billet air intake heater delete plate in and the monster ram will go in after I get the fuel swap finished....anybody leave out that huge foam insulation piece sitting on the hard fuel lines?

Try putting premium in the tank.. many people experience the hemi tick when tryna save $12 a fill.

That was my first thought actually as it seems a bit more apparent than usual and on the way back from our last camping trip i stopped at a local Rez and filled up with who knows what 87. I ran that tank down and filled up with Sunoco 89 (not premium but not junk...) last week. Still chirpin.

Try 3 tanks in a row of 91 or 93 and or throw an octane additive for one of them. If you do not notice a difference then may want to think about changing the oil into something like Redline that is notorious for helping. I believe one of the two or both will solve the problem. The fuel quality plays a big part and when I had my Hemi, it was noticeable between a bad tank of fuel and a good one.
 
Been working on my BedRug, about 95% done, need more adhesion promoter to finish securing the sides but got everything trimmed out and ready to go.

I left mine out. No real difference at all as far as I could tell.
