What did you do TO your RAM today?

Exactly which speaker did you use and did it make a big difference? Did you have any problems mounting them?

I placed infinity primus 6x9s, they only come in one flavor. At first I liked them just listening right after install in the driveway, but After several hours of listening , some music sounded good, some sounded absolutely horrible. I had to turn the treble as far down as it would go, then turn the bass as high as it would go and mids pretty darn high to get any good sound, and after 2-3 hours of hoping to get it where I wanted during a trip I shut the stereo off and listened to wind. It literally hurt to listen to. Very next morning I put stock back in it and it felt like meeting an old friend. So I’m leaving it. Subwoofer is still in the cards though!
 
Spent all weekend putting on ceramic coat (CarPro UK 3.0, Skin, and Gliss). Leaving her in the garage another day or two to fully cure.

FWIW, the paint was in really good shape straight from the factory.

Thanks for the info Squatch. I’ve been hesitant to change mine. Thought I would ask a few folks. I added a Kenwood sound powered amp that is mounted under the driver’s seat and mine sounds pretty good. Certain songs kick nicely (probably the way they were produced) and others just sound better. I believe I will leave mine alone.

Are you speaking of the misalignment of the existing holes in the flaps that use the two fender well fasteners? If so, note there is a small indentation where near the lower hole - I drilled this out and all lined up fine. The upper hole is fine. Here are the part numbers I used:

I believe that may have been my problem. Did your flaps fit good with the spats? I’ll check my records and see if that was the flaps I bought. I did get them from BAM and when I returned them I thought they were gonna kick back on me as they responded to me and stated these were not for the Mopar flares. I’ll validate the numbers. Thanks
 
Swapped the Toyo RT 37 12.50 18s for BFG MT KM3s 37 13.50 18.
A few notes:
13.50s rub more everywhere! They are 1/2” taller and almost an inch wider than the RT’s (measuring both when new)
The BFG holds more rocks than you could ever count, while the Toyos didn't at all.
Ride quality is better with the BFG’s (same tire pressure- 55 front 45 rear.

Getting Falken Wildpeak A/T3W LT285/65R20 tires installed yesterday. What a huge difference they made, way softer ride even at the 65psi they installed at. Gotta chalk test for pressures and take more pics today. Looks way better too!

We don't need to see the junkerz! Where's a solid pic of these Falkens?!

So I removed the orange sticker's on the arms and replaced them with white stickers. The orange didn't go with the color of the truck and wanted to match the sway bards and coils.

I prefer the white for sure. I thought about doing that too but I have gotten used to them now. I don't think the orange clashes as much on a red truck.

Completed installing the cabin temp sensor using a custom harness I made. Also installed the proper sun load sensor and auto HVAC bezel. I now have fully working auto HVAC.

I was only able to get the dual zone bezel working by leaving the HVAC configuration set to dual zone. If I tried setting it to single zone ATC, it would get stuck on defrost and heat. The touchscreen and manual buttons would get disabled. But setting it to dual zone ATC works with both zones set to sync and setting it to Auto. The bonus is the dual zone Bezel has better lighting on the dials and buttons.

I did not take pics but this procedure is fairly well documented.
