What did you do TO your RAM today?

I finally installed the Kykr screen protector today. It's so hard here in the dry weather to keep the dust off long enough to install it.

Fixed my goof on the tire diameter change but haven't checked it against GPS yet.

Turned off the auto folding mirror option that didn't work.

Is there a way to turn off the chime for when seatbelts are not fastened? I always wear my seatbelt on the road but when I’m at the ranch driving from place to place- it’s a nuisance putting it On and taking it off every few seconds while working.

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

Can also be done wit AlphaOBD, but the manual old school is easy enough. I did mine before I left the dealer with it the day I picked it up.
 
Scheduled an appointment with the Dodge dealer to fix damage done by a chain tire shop. Not going to discuss the details on social media until the process is complete.
 
Are you going to leave that trigger exposed? Hope there isn’t one in the chamber.
Yes the trigger will be exposed. No- hell no- there is not one in the chamber. I am much smarter and more responsible than an idiotic moronic imbecile that would have one chambered. Thanks for your concern.

Different philosophies I know. I keep and carry mine chambered. For the non holstered I have a small kydex trigger guard with a lanyard attached to yank it off quickly. If I need the gun in a hurry, which will probably be the case if I need it, I don’t want to have to rack a slide.
 
Today I lifted my truck; I used Ready lift SST 3inch front 1inch rear, I used everything from the kit except the shock extensions, I put Fox 2.0 Shocks all around on 4 corners, also Fox 2.0 Steering stabilizer, BDS track bar. 35's Nittos Ridge Grapps, Tis Wheels I'll post pictures tomorrow once I wash everything.
 
"Relocated" the block heater plug since it was nice out (@Rich you inspired me) and most of the places I'd frequent this weekend are packed with obnoxious tourists. Given the black metal bumper on the PW, I *briefly* considered placing it somewhere more accessible still but just couldn't bring myself to drill a 2" hole this early on into ownership. I used the NOCO GCP1 (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B009ANV81S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1), switched out the packaged hardware for stainless and used a washer and nylon lock nut for the time being (if that doesn't work I'll switch to loctite and a regular nut). Gave all the connections a light coating of dielectric grease and loomed/ziptied as appropriate. Can't see it unless you're looking for it and it'll be easier to plug/unplug in the mornings in about 4 or 5 months.

It's a soft silicon seal and seems to seal really well (when you press it closed you can hear the air whistle out of the drain hole at the bottom):

No going back (just the air dam that'll probably get pulled one day anyway so ultimately it's a low commitment here):

I used the NOCO GCP1 on my 1500 EcoDiesel and mounted it in the same area, worked great! My new 2500 CTD window sticker doesn't say anything about winter package, blocker heater setup, so don't know if the block heater comes installed or not? The block heater on the ED was there, just needed to by the power cord.

Unfortunately I've got no idea where to look on the cummins. The cable routing for the "installed" block heater was awful - barely had enough slack to even slip my hand past the winch to grab the plug cover.

Holy mackerel, takes me all day just for a wash, what yah do hire a whole crew to get that done. This morning I did the fastest wash I could on mine and it still took me 2.5hrs. That truck is huge to wash, dry, wax, butt, polish, butt & shine

Man, not often that I inspire someone, but you did way more than just 1 up me and my zip ties. Looks nice, good work
