What did you do TO your RAM today?

Was busy over the weekend.. Put the grill back together, installed an xpel kit on the front end, blacked out most of the chrome with black vinyl and swapped on new emblems

Awesome plates.

got a short 2 hr run tomorrow at 160 miles to coos bay. Turned 4000 miles today and so far all my gauges have shown good numbers. The other day when we were heading up through the mountains in WA, my tranny temp finally came off of the rock solid 163 it's been stuck on and went up and down betwern 163 - 167, so Im thrilled with that. Also ac has worked great. All my trailer tire sensors will show up within the first mile of travel. It's nice just being able to scroll down to them. Now if I could get ram to update there camera technology in uconnect to stay on, I'd retire from the forum and you all could go back to a peaceful site. Yes I said that intentionally so you all would pull some strings. :)
 
Pull strings to get you to leave Rich ...no way, there’s way too much entertainment value in seeing the schadenfreud unfold. Without you the place would be boring for sure. No one to poke fun at about chrome tow hooks...I saw your most recent post , I know you really want those things ...

I appreciate that kimo. Your just saying that cuz i ain't p!$$=@ you of yet. I'm thinking about just keeping the gangster look. Now all i need is to hang a gold plated tow chain off the front. No disrespect to anybody who is already sporting the look. :cool:

Man you got that baby shining. I like those steps. We use to use em on our garbage trucks ( no disrespect) . Those things got killer grip, just don't slid off the edge and guillotine your shin:mad:

None taken and thank you. If it’s good enough to be on a vehicle by people who work hard everyday and use them, that sounds like the exact product I want and a great comparison.

You don't have to worry about them wearing out that for sure and they will provide heavy duty protection for the sides of your truck .

What did you do to your truck?

This is the "what-did-you-do-to-your-ram-today?" thread.

Looks good. Any challenges or go right on ?

Thanks! Not really, went right on. I had to lay down to get the little tab attached to the fender liner on the fronts, but no big deal. I had less that an hour in it, and part of that was me looking for a little part that I dropped (which always seems to happen).

Installed WeatherTech Mud Flaps this past weekend.

Those actually don't look bad and appear to be functional...
Now I'll have to go back and look at the Duraflaps again to compare.

Your right. I installed my wt duelly flaps a couple weeks ago and the only pita wad that dam little plastic plug, trying to get it out. Took 3 minutes to install each flap and 15 minutes to wiggle out plastic plugs in fender. So far I love them, have kept the front of my fiver free from debris

I finally got around to installing my 2WD Low Range kit (front axle lockout) and the wiring for my dash cam yesterday.

Not the connectors I preferred but all I had left and I wanted to get it done (yesterday). Everything crimped and soldered, and covered with shrink tube and/or techflex. Waterproofing under the dash not necessary.

Pulled everything up to behind the headlight switch for ease of any potential service or troubleshooting. I used the black Upfitter jumper Pin-6 (Z905) for the ground connection to my dash cam. Grey upfitter jumper feeds both BAT + and IGN + for the dash cam (Mini0906 cam has parking guard) and lastly, used the pass through circuit to back-feed AUX-6 for the 2WD Low power. I had already fed the rear camera wiring through the headliner when I installed the TTPMS TIM.

Today will be running the feed up the A pillar and across and figuring out where to mount the blasted camera. It has a GPS mount with a micro USB power feed that's parallel to the windshield. I'd like to mount it just below The Blob (what I call the giant radar/camera pod) so I don't run into issues putting up my sunshade. The rear camera plugs into the camera (not the GPS mount) but at least it's a 90* connector. I may end up with it near the corner of The Blob.

So what kit did you use for the front axle?

Yeah, this is the first time I've had mud flaps on a truck. Just saw how guys were saying they're a must and protect the lower fender/quarter from chips and crap. These seemed like they fit well and looked natural, and I am welcoming the benefits of having them.

Yes, seeing that serrated pattern makes my skin crawl ever since I saw someone go knee-first into one a while back. *shiver*

Hey I did something to my Ram, I put those knobby doo-dads on the back to allow me to use the bed organizer as a bed extender, so that's my fancy story.
