UGLY

Thursday. 2021 Big Horn. Aside from the Hemi chirp and the front/rear park assist going haywire here and there it has been a great truck.

Must have let off the go pedal. 31 mpg. Not a chance.

 

[Underline5656]

Added some vinyl stickers to the back glass (yesterday though).

OA

Nice! CO FTW

Any thoughts on what to do about the ugly pinch weld visible beneath the doors?
I have installed AMP powersteps but they disappear when retracted, revealing the pinch weld.

Get some rubber door seals or edging. Maybe the type that has an adhesive strip. Just spit-balling. I know I'm not remembering the other stuff but it's a pretty hard plastic, split to open up on one edge. Someone will pipe in.

Look this up on Ebay

I was thinking the same as far as holding in the crap but aren’t the rocker drains up above the pinch welds? That lovely tape job they give us on our overpriced trucks.

Thanks for the replies,
I think I'm going to mask it up and shoot some rhino liner / herculiner in a can over it.

The tape job are up above, block holes for mounting cab steps, etc, the drains are in the low point of the rockers.
Note tape job and drains;

Next question.
Fuel filters front and rear, drain tube(s)?

 

[R.Duff7]

Next question.
Fuel filters front and rear, drain tube(s)?

The Front has a drain tube, but it's not to long. I just use a large spray bottle and put the tube in it and balance it on the front dif/axle.

For the rear I just found a hose I had laying around and pushed it on the little nipple and let it drain into a tub/bottle.

Added new radio and pulled rear seats to start making room for 200+ lbs of dogs

And did fuel filter job on a 23 ram eco. Way easier then my cummins lol

Bed step installed. Tucks up nicely with a small gap between the bumper.

Next up are the wheel well liners. LineX sprayed in bed liner finally getting done on Tuesday.

To do list is getting smaller. lol

Thanks for the help I'll be looking for that hose on the front filter.

i have box of fuel line, i cut off a 2 ft section and slide it over the front tube to drain the filter. rear i gave up on trying. they put the housing right over the driveshaft so i just let the freedom ring cause no matter what it ends up a mess. if i feel like trying to be clean i prop a plastic bin on the drive shaft and do it that way.

I took the front filter drain hose off and replaced it with a longer hose, so it didn't run all over the frame/front diff. I use a hose on the rear filter and let it drain till it stops, remove hose, shut off valve and break houseing loose, then slip a gallon ziplock bag up around the filter and finish removing. Works good and very little to no mess.

Tires and wheels today. 37-12.50/18 Falken Wildpeak AT3 on Method 306 18x9 +18 offset wheels. Corrected the speedo with Alfa OBD with knowledge gleaned from this wonderful site!

Take an old washer fluid or similar jug with the bottom cut off to fit, punch a hole in the top cap to fit a socket extension through a grommet and use a socket.

Here's what I made. Absolutely clean filter replacement, without a single drop escaping!
