What happened to Rich?

Not open for further replies.
Also while I was laying under the rear putting the chrome exhaust tip on I noticed some stickers on the brake calipers that I thought I would post. Note : a reminder to all not familiar with my build, i didn't order the max tow pkg as a group but ordered the options seperatly so I didn't have to finance the fiver hitch and we have questioned about the larger rear brakes. I have posted before that a ram tech did email me that i have the 365 mm, but these pics definitely help.

Looking good Rich !!! BUT... maybe a little unbalanced without those chrome tow hooks on the front !! Just kidding the chrome accents the silver exterior nicely. Glad to see you got the good stuff with the High end max tow brakes... it’s nice to see a guy get a good... break..every once in a while...:cool:
 
Apologies if you’ve already posted this but what kind of 5th wheel are you towing?
 
Currently a 35' fr wild cat. The trucks over kill I know, fiver only weighs 13,000. In the next 18 months were going to get a 48' luxe that weighs 26,000, so the big boy was a must have
You definitely got the truck to handle it. Post pics when you get that new rig.

That one won't be untill 2022 sometime, then that will be it, kick back and relax and enjoy our days. Obtw : the wife loves the surprise from Ginos, POPCORN
 
Exhaust tip is a nice touch

Thx, the old & younger me would of stuck that thing out there just as far as it would go. But I'm old and trying to keep her classy with some subtle bling
 
I would just like to take the time to post on this forum and another that I and others frequent. RAM CARE has made it right by my wife and i for a couple of unfortunite situations that occurred to us during the build and purchase process. I have been a long time fca loyalist and will continue to be until its time to put me under , in this 8' Billit box. I would also like to take the time to apologize for my behavior and inaccurate words that I spouted off during my build. As we all know its a stressful endeavor and I did let it get the best of me at times and said some things that were not an accurate portrayal of my 30 yrs relationship with fca. Thanks again RAM CARE, you have a loyalist and a very happy and satisfied customer in me. :)
 
No need to apologize , it made for great entertainment and your story kept it interesting when we all need a positive distraction from the pandemic. Glad to hear FCA kept the relationship in tact, relationships matter. I’m a fan for them too. Enjoy that new ride with the subtle bling
 
You need to get the cooler/radiator screens too. I put them on the 17. prevents fin damage from stones/bugs.
I'm hoping my bak flip arrives today, give me something to fine tune before my tool box gets here next weak. I need to find me some conditioner for the spray in liner, so that way after I cover it from the sun, it should stay protected for a long time

Good pics Rich, those brakes hanging down with the angle iron guard looked cheesy to me, I wish they would have done something different there. They'll cool down there, but I am having a hard time liking it. I just missed deal on truck, so my hunt continues. Wanna trade?

Thanks, I was wondering when I saw that angle iron what that was for. If that's for cooling that's hilarious. I mean it has to help somewhat but come on. That's some real technology right there for yah :D

I'm going to check mine after work. I'm rocking the 3.73s. Those angle iron pieces seem more like rock protection than cooling to me since the brakes aren't 100% protected inside the wheel due to their MASSIVENESS!!

They are massive for sure. With out doing the speed/ tachometer test, I wish something was marked on the 410 rear gear housing

Sneaked under during lunch! Max Tow brakes! But my LH is has different p/n. P68290081AF similar to your RH. My RH sticker was already gone (lasted 600 whole miles)

Also found some poorly terminated wires above the spare tire. Anyone have a clue to what they are for?
