What did you do TO your RAM today?

[raggdoll]

Pulled the back seats today to install my race radio and run the wiring.
Figured I'd do the seat back mod while I had the seats out. Learned a few things about the mod. I'll have pics and write up in my build thread when I'm done.

Back seat mod allows you to fold down the rear seatbacks to stash small items behind the seats.

There's a million youtube vids on it.

Finally received my Geno’s locking fuel cap. Received the DEF one back in May.

Yep, that's it.
However, I cut where they said to cut, but I dont like it. You have to push/pull hard to lock/unlock the back.
I'm going to look at it some more today while I still have the drivers side out and see if I can trim some more so I dont have to slam it back. But need to make sure the back will stay up when the bottom is folded up.
There will be full details and pictures in my build thread when I'm done.

I’ve found you just need to have the seat cushion at just the right angle and the back comes down easy. Conversely, when putting the seat back up again/putting the cushion down, you have to have the cushion at just the right angle and push/hold the seat back while lowering the cushion. A bit finicky but works fine.

20k Maintenance day. Oil change and air filter today... Waiting on filter magnets to arrive before I change diff fluid... maybe able to do that later today if the FedEx guy comes.
Also waiting on wiper blades and a cabin filter.






first oil change with the Fumoto valve. Takes a bit longer to drain but no mess and no pans to pour into jugs. I installed the low profile nipple version, Hose doesn’t really like staying on so I had to hold it on while most of the oil came out. Was able to let it support itself while the last dribbles come out. Will either have to get their plastic clips that help keep it on or just replace it with the full nipple version.

I made a slight adjustment.
Left mark is where the top of the latch bar is with the seat cushion is up.
Right mark is the top when the seat cushion is at about 50 degrees. That's the highest the back will go up. So I'm recutting a little. Seat should work better now.

Broke the code.
Measure 1 1/2" down from the inside and cut there at a slight angle
No rubbing or pushing/pulling on the seat required. Works smoothly. Locks in up and down positions.

Washed and waxed.

DAMN! That's a nice shine. Mirror like.

 

[Crusty old shellback]

So apparently California and Mississippi trucks are not allowed to have the mirror mounted reverse lights active when backing up.
But I found the code in ALPHAOBD and turned it off. I now have auxiliary mirror mounted reverse lights. Screw you cali and your dumb law.
I'll post details in my build thread and the ALPHA OBD thread.

Got power to my race radio. Now to figure out an antenna mount.

So originally you could turn them on/off, but had to be in park?

 

[Crusty old shellback]

You could turn them on and off in PR or N. But as soon as you started moving, they shut off and you coukdnt turn them on unless you were stopped.
They go off in drive no matter what config you have, which makes sense.
There's some stupid rule I guess in Cali and Miss. That says you cant have the bed lights on when the truck is moving. And since the reverse light is tied to that switch, it turns them off.

Maintenance day 2: changed front and rear diff fluid. Probably won’t do it for 40-60k now, as most of the wear happens in the first 15k.

Added filtermag magnets in the diff to grab metal shaving particles, especially important to keep the e-lockers functional. There was a lot of metal build up on the little magnets already. The factory fill plugs are magnetic but the filter magnets are way more powerful and a larger surface area.

Today I gave my A/C some help by adding a heater shut off valve.
