What did you do TO your RAM today?

Detailed inside and out. Added the strut and the tailgate drops softly now. Finished with a coat of 303 UV protectant on all black trim and 303 Graphene on the paint. I know it wasnt today but I’m adding a pic of the Borla exhaust just for the heck of it. The last pic of the reflection is on my right rear fender after applying 303 Graphene.

275/65/20 Milestar Patagonia X/T. They balanced well, ride nice and make the truck feel a bit more planted for sure. Time will tell how they hold up.

They look like the weathertech flaps. I put them on mine. They look great and work well. They install over top of the already present trim pieces on the truck. IMG_4234.jpeg

Spent the day doing maintenance. Oil change, fuel filters, air filter and cabin filter. I was so proud of myself for not spilling a single drop of diesel or engine oil. Well, that was till I primed my fuel and heard splashing under my truck because I forgot to close the engine compartment filter drain! Changing the cabin air filter I thought for sure I was going to break the glove box. YouTube videos show people doing it one handed while holding a phone. I used both hands, a pry bar and colorful language to release those two tabs, the left one was especially difficult. I then discovered whoever installed the current filter did it incorrectly. It was installed with the open pleated end facing out! I had to dig the filter out with a knife and it was all crumpled up….IMG_0622.jpeg

When I remove the glovebox I just pull the bottom hinge out and the top comes out easy. Just make sure you disconnect the little string first.

Was that a plug and play thing or custom splice for wiring?

No it wasn't plug and play. It had a small connector on it that I cut off to just use a tap behind the left tail light with the white purple wire.

Really helps in the back up camera for backing into places. Totally happy that I did it. It's called a Morimoto XB universal backup light boost bar.

To do what you ask? In 45 years of on road driving, a 1/4" ratchet and sockets, and an assortment of hand tools has been sufficient to make roadside/parking lot repairs with the exception of flat tires, maybe I've been incredibly lucky, and I hope that this RAM continues the winning streak. I do maintenance and repairs in my garage with a large selection of tools. If I were to carry all the tools and parts to make repairs that might be needed, then there wouldn't be much payload left. I find this tool kit ideal for tightening loose connections and replacing batteries and other small tasks. More importantly, it works well to help out family and friends with repairs of home appliances and with assembly/disassembly of furniture when moving. I do intend to add the necessary tools to replace fuel filters (and the filters), as I could see doing this on the side of a road. Also to be added is a scotch brite pad and wire brush for cleaning electrical connections and a roll of electrical tape. In the other compartment is a Noco jump box that should be large enough for our diesel trucks and to help out the random stranger. I would welcome ideas of other items that would fit in the small floor compartments. Thanks in advance for your constructive comments.

For repairing what? Certainly not a ram with pliers and tamper resistant torx bits

Always nice to be prepared for sure. I think a few larger sized wrenches might be more helpful for the Ram if needed. There some multi head ones on amazon that might be useful in a pinch. Also how about a couple sized crescent wrenches and wire crimper/cutter/stripper, vice grips.

My last fuel filter change I did the same thing and forgot to close the drain on the engine filter. What a mess that made. I too, heard splashing and was like oh fudge.

I’ve quit carrying so many tools. I won’t have parts, so a roadside repair isn’t feasible with what I carry anyhow.

The freed up space of carrying stuff to not use it has been far more beneficial.
