Is this true? There's a vent tube that runs from the compressor, up between the cab and bed, to an in-line air filter that's mounted up high on the bed. This to me suggests its not a sealed system.

This past week I noticed a small puddle of water on my driver-side floor mat after a hard rain. Sure enough, it's dripping from the bottom of the driver side grab handle like others mentioned. Its a ’22 with cab lights and sunroof. The sunroof drain is clear. Anyone determine the source of...

It cranks over way better now. I went with the EverStart Platinum which seems to be a forum favorite here. One thing I noticed is the resting voltage (12.72v) seems to be slightly low for an AGM battery. I believe FLA should be in the 12.7-12.8 range while AGM should be in the 12.9-13.1 range...

Update: Batteries only lasted a week. Seems 75% is when these devices report as bad so I was very close apparently.

I agree; after putting in some elbow grease, I think the existing one is fine. It still has small corrosive pits and it's slightly mangled from prying it off the post but should be fine. I feel like this should be a $10 part and if so, I'd just go ahead and replace it. At $135, its not...

Are you using that one? I'm a bit skeptical that this one would work. It's flat, missing the needed elbow to clear the top of the battery and allowing it to sit parallel. You might have enough room clock it +45° but then you'd have the rest of the negative cable assembly pulling down on this...

I've searched high 'n low for the negative terminal clamp connector. It's stamped with "Royal Pat. 5733152". The closest I could find was this but you have to buy 9 at a time and it's not identical. Searching Mopar parts, it appears you can only buy the entire passenger-side negative cable...

I got some more time tonight to test the batteries, isolated from each other. It does NOT seem that you can keep the batteries in parallel (ie. not disconnecting negative cable) and just double the CCA on the tester as I got completely different readings when testing isolated from each other...

I started to notice last week that the truck was sluggish to start, especially in the morning when temps were cooler. The truck is a '22 CTD and I've read on the forums in the past that these OEM batteries only last about 3yrs. Using Project Farm's suggested battery tester, I bought the Ancel...

Anyone have experience with the PML Differential Cover? If so, any good? Is your truck AirRide equipped by chance? Looking for one with a drain plug and it looks like the PML may fit my AirRide equipped 2500. Wanted the Banks but theirs will not fit.

Badlands ZXR compatibility would be awesome. Any chance at offering a bumper insert that looks factory (with honeycomb design) and small opening for the winch line?

Is the Mitchell 1 Service Manual the best option? I found Mopar TSP which appears to be the "official" Service Manual but seems you need be a dealer/authorized and very pricey. Those with the Mitchell 1 Subscription; does it contain torque specs, part numbers, etc.? Is it printable?

Nice setup @DGFisher91. Is that RAM Mount pretty much statically mounted there? Or is there a QuickDisconnect and easily pop-in that bolt cover on the grab handle? Appears you'd have unbolt it, replace OE bolt and then the plastic cover but wanted to double check. I really like the position...

Agreed. Without a video explaining why he took it down, I have to come to the likely conclusion that Banks pressured him. As great of an Engineer Banks is, I think he's equally as good as a Marketer. There's no objective data on real-world performance gains/benefits on most of their products...

I'd also add that adding the Banks intake horn will decrease performance (reduced power, mpg, etc.) on a stock truck. Double R Diesel showed this but has since removed the video (Banks pressured him?).
