What did you do TO your RAM today?

What’s the intended use?
The trails out here get very dusty, and volcanic dust is really fine. I’ve been in groups out here where the only vehicles you can see are ones with rear facing amber lights. Obviously with low visibility you want to keep your distance, but when there’s no wind it can take several minutes for the dust to clear.

Sounds like our county gravel roads. They dig the gravel pits often beside rivers and the silt dust is nasty.
 
Just brought truck out of winter storage (alittle early clearly)! Just finished ram power board install with my own custom made harness as per this forums guidance.
Bought truck new last summer, haven’t used much but have had many rams and this is my favorite.
White one is my buddies, built same day in factory, weird they showed up to northern Canada in the end being built same day.
Love the white 2 tone
 
Ok, I'll bite. I see it's something with your grid heater or the bolt. Are you able to elaborate or are you typing right now and I'm just an impatient bastard?

The blue tape or whatever it is has me scratching my head. Inquiring minds want to know...
 
How’s the valve body upgrade? Which one did you use?
For the life of me I cant remember the brand, I think its Ricky’s or something like that from the US and the billit pistons with three sealing rings not just two. So far its ok not as smooth as before the upgrade but its early days, I have done about 5000km since the work done.
 
My baby is being detailed and ceramic coat treted and is completed but needs to sit protected for one more day before I can pick her up. Also just got a text message confirming my sheepskin seat cover have just been posted out to us. Will install it over the weekend and upload photos.

That's super light soot. Must be low miles on it. I've literally seen the whole intake clogged with chunks the size of your thumb rolling around on the grid heater. That must be reassuring to see. looking good, and interested in hearing how the weight loss plan went for you.

What little OCD I have is driving me crazy wanting to look inside mine and clean it. Fortunately I have to many other projects started LOL

Randy’s?
 
After 18 months and 25K miles I had finally had enough of the factory Transforce HTs.

Opted for the new Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascent. Costco had them on sale this month, which made them $150 cheaper than anywhere else.

Got about 100 miles on them so far and I’m really digging them. Super quiet and way better traction on wet surfaces and snow. Stuck with the factory size for now, next set I’ll bump them up a bit.IMG_3659.jpegIMG_3660.jpegIMG_3661.jpeg

Truck is dirty since we had a snow storm roll through this morning.

Keep us updated on how your Bridgestone Dueler AT Ascents are doing as that’s one of the tires I am looking at.

Question are they three peak rated and labeled?

Grid heater bus bar replacement that eliminates the killer bolt... Apologies Sr., my fault in assuming it was commonly known.
