What did you do TO your RAM today?

[Rockcrawlindude]

I'm nervous I may have a blown shock, too. Not sure if it's that, or if it's residue from fluid film. Keeping an eye on it, but seeing you have one has me a little more nervous. Week sauce, man.

Quite a few including myself had leaking rear shock. discovered mine around 2k miles

Took a picture of the blown RR shock.

Disappointing @ only 11.588 miles and I go Elk hunting Friday.

No wonder it's been hopping around like a Jack F *** ing Russel Terrier on meth.

FWIW, I can't believe the rust under this thing. My 04 didn't look like this for probably 12+ years.

They must be skimping on paint.

Good luck with that elk..

I have been bumping into posts on the poor quality of the shocks lately. Many similar < 15k leak stories.
A real bummer.

Curious as to your plan for replacements. (taking notes lol)
Been digging around on option the last couple weeks.

Picking up an Arctic Fox 1150 the week after Thanksgiving, so suspension research has been on the agenda.
Got a rear anti-sway bar (roadmaster) being delivered tomorrow, so install this weekend.

Seems nobody considers Rancho’s much anymore but I put on some 9000s, have the back dialed in perfectly for towing/wheeling/around town compromise IMO…the PW is always running heavy. Still fiddle with the fronts from time to time. Love them over the stock Bils for sure, solid and disposable cheap..what I wanted after dealing with high dollar and leaky Foxes on the last truck.

Going Bilstein 5100's.

Have had Rancho's in the past, just not a fan anymore.

Ranchos lol c’mon man

Ranchos lol c’mon man

…much better just encouraged me to use them, which destroyed them. Rebuilt them, used them and wrecked them…three times in 50k. This PW is never going to run the field like that Ford no matter what, so…
PowerWagon GT…Grandpa Truck and I’m liking those Ranchos, meh.

My truck only has 1500 miles on it (3500 DRW) and I’ve already replaced the rear shocks with some Fox 2.0’s. Money well spent (though I shouldn’t have to) in my opinion. I’m pretty confident they can’t have more than $10-$20 manufacturing cost in those rear shocks.

Finished adding the doggy window to my Softopper and installed my UWS toolbox that I had from my previous truck.

Ram earns its keep not only as a tow rig but also support vehicle for all my other things. Today plugged a tire off the work truck “in the field” using only the ram.

How it’s intended to look. Are you going to do a ccv delete?

 

[phrogman]

Changed out the bolt on the fender well that didn't match the others.

Duraflaps installed and did an installation video for them on a 2022 RAM HO Laramie Dually. Great coverage and has really cut down on how much crap ends up on the rear fenders. Also seems to be keeping the front of the 5th wheel clean.

Probably, but only when the filter is full.

I’ll just gut it and keep it routed to turbo. All my Mercedes Diesels were setup like that from factory with no problem.

Installed this guy last night....took it for a 20-25 mile round trip drive to dinner last night....no leaks and unloaded the 69 never got above 140...I have another wheeling trip coming up with just the one rig this time so I'll be pulling around 9500 lbs....I'll post the temps when I get back from that trip...

I was going to do this but the main use of the stock one is when it is cold outside, it will help the trans warm up quicker which most damage happens at low temps. if I lived in a climate that never got below freezing, I would do this though.

Not sure I would want that black snot dripping into my turbo but each to their own. Dripping on to the road surface made of similar material seems reasonable to me.

I think I'd do a catch can instead. If you're letting it drip then you're going to spot your driveway/garage, and drip that crap all over trails (if you happen to offroad). Not really in line with tread lightly principles/leave it better than you found it.
