What did you do TO your RAM today?

[DownShiftz]

Installed a 45 gallon aux tank and topped it off a couple hours ago. All seems well with no leaks or codes popping up on the dash. Tying in the fuel line was a total pain in the ass!
I machined some 316 SST to make a couple mounting plates and replaced all the bolts and hardware from a DeeZee kit to 17-4 stainless. I’ll either buy or machine my own locking caps and plan to power coat it matt black.

Well, technically nothing yet, but I did mock up some mud flaps... the front flaps needed some special attention due to the shape of the inner fenderwell.
They still need some minor tweaking/final fitting while I wait for the weights to arrive.

Thanks to @1FastHemi for the idea...

Clean install - nice work.

Pretty minor but I got in the black 2500 hood badges and cummins badges. So far I swapped the hood badge (which was easy once I understood but they don't just "snap in"). Gonna debadge the sport and ram badges but need to wait till the weather is better to wash and remove them. Still debating on what grille to go with, would like something that doesn't say RAM but so far nothing.

I installed a Fumoto oil drain valve yesterday when i did my oil change. The Oil change went really slick using a filter cap and pulling the filter out through the wheel well. I also changed out my fuel filters, all at 15k miles. When doing the fuel filters I swapped out the exisitng front drain line with a longer one so I didn't make as much of a mess.

Just drove her home. Full Xpel Ultimate Plus PPF and Ceramic window tinting. Also, had a Retrax PowertraxPRO XR installed to cover my B&W Companion 5th Wheel sliding hitch. Next a full set WeatherTech Mudflaps and the TTPMS mod. And then........

OK, this may not make it over the @brutal barrier, but I took my truck in to the dealership today to finally get my jack and floor mats, that were missing when I bought the truck way back in mid-June. The floor mats were upgraded by the dealer to the Mopar all-weather rubber ones. Nice. The jack is just a regular jack, but I have it now. And, as an extra bonus, I managed to get the infamous tailgate connector cover, and the upfitter electrical kit, both of which were also missing. Yeah, by now the dealer had a bunch of new trucks come in, so some unlucky guy is probably going to end up doing the same as I just did: complaining about a missing jack and other stuff. I feel a little guilty about that, but not too much. They are called "stealerships" for a reason, after all! I owe all of you guys on the forum for clueing me into the tailgate cover and the upfitter kit. I would never had known that they were missing had I not read about them here. Thanks, guys!

Got rid of it.... After being without a truck for a total of 39 days, multiple problem fixed, I had another incident yesterday, so today I went to the dealership and took a lowball payout to be rid of the truck. I bought it with friends and family, which meant that I had actually signed away my protections under the lemon law and I felt taking a financial hit was better than my being behind the wheel when the truck caused an accident. It was fun driving a new truck while it lasted, but once the problems started they just wouldn't go away, and I don't have the resources to fight Chrysler.

Have a good one all. I hope nobody has to deal with the stuff that I did. In the end my family's safety came before the loss I took.

That's Bullchit, but I think you made the correct decision!

Installed WeatherTech Mud Flaps this past weekend.

Welllll I was gonna go with the Mopar ones but now I gotta do Weathertech. The front Mopar ones seem too long to me.

Got the harness I needed to add the convex mirror control switch for the towing tech mirrors i retrofitted last week. It looks alright, but i'm not super happy with the hole i made, came out more of a Rhombus than a perfect square, but the hole was close enough to square to work.

Since i'm here i might as well mention everything i did over the past couple weeks. First thing i did was finally man up and hard wire my dash cam in. I did it by taping into the power wire for the rear slider in the over head switches, it only works with ignition on, but that's all i wanted anyway.

Then i added the LED 3rd Brakelight with Cargo Camera, but i didn't hook up the camera yet at that point:

Then I installed the towing tech mirrors and enabled the Auxiliary Reverse lights:

The following week I got what i thought were all the parts i needed to install and enable my CVPM to enable surround view, unfortunately my tradesman grill has absolutely no way to install a front camera, and my stock reverse camera will not work with the CVPM, I Half expected this so i bought an extra camera just in case. Unfortunately the correct camera requires a completely different tailgate handle to be mounted, so i was unable to get my surround view system working, and i lost my reverse camera for the time being, but I did enable all the surround view and trailer assist options in the truck and some of them work along with the cargo camera.

Hopefully my new tailgate handle and grill will be here by this weekend and i can wrap this up.

What size did you go with?

 

[MikeXM]

What size did you go with?

255/80R17. These are the largest you can go on a DRW without going to 20s. I wanted to keep tires within the fenders which is not possible with 20s.

Did you have to add spacers or do u have enough clearance between tires?

 

[MikeXM]

No spacers so far. It has a more than 1in clearance right now. I may add a 1/4 or 1/2" spacers eventually if I see any rubbing under load.
