Carli level, track bar and high mount steering stabilizer installed with 35x12.5r20 Ridge Grapplers. Really solidifies the stance and look and definitely improved the ride. Window tint and a set of Amp steps and I'm probably done. Or am I?

Also added the Retrax power MX1 for Rambox bed today..

Ram 3500 with Rambox and Retrax power MXone
You'll like it, I put the PowerTraxPro MX on mine with Ramboxes and am happy with it. My only complain is the way the drain hoses exit the can, limits using that space, so I modified the drains so i had usable space underneath and it works really good. Now I store toolboxes under there.

What are the specs of original lights vs luminex? I wonder how big the difference is.

Size wise? These just use the plug and have their own rubber grommet that holds them in place, fit was great and install was super easy.

Light output wise? Not sure factory specs, but these are so much brighter than stock! I can actually see things behind me in the backup camera!

Thanks for response! I meant the light output.

Was it difficult to remove and replace the bulbs? I am not even sure how to access them for rear lights.

Also, do you have a link to exact one you bought?

I adjusted TPMS threshold to 40psi all the way around, I also changed the air filter out today. Still lots of good filtering media left at just shy of 16k miles. There are a few differences between the new and old filters.
-different part number
-pleats are glued together on the new style
-top expanded metal is flat across instead of raised grid pattern on the old style
-different color (duh:p)

Super easy, there are 2 T25 torx screws that hold the tail light in place (rightin the tailgate opening), then it pops out by pulling it towards back of the truck. Then it's just a couple connections and reinstall!

Sorry, I don't have the link. But the diesel leds website will help you find the right ones with no confusion.

Installed Edge CTS3 with EGT probe. I have AMP steps - so I had to split the OBD2. I initially installed the CTS3 without the EGT probe and it worked fine. Now that I have the EGT probe on (via EAS cable), about every 3rd time I start the truck it just hangs with the message of 'loading guages....'. If i unplug and replug the OBD2, it works fine again. PITA.

Anyone have any experience like that?

Also, changed the fuel filters for the first time this weekend. Semi-rant: so the rear filter housing was a b&^% to get off (28mm socket / 1/2 socket wrench). But did it. And I had drained the fuel via the little valve, but I got a nice diesel shower when removing the housing. That's not my biggest gripe: the front filter must have been installed by the Hulk. Would not budge. So i decided to over-power it with an 18v Milwaukee impact driver. I have driven 1/2" lag bolts (6" long) into trees with that impact wrench. But it had nuthin' for the f&*$ing filter housing. I ended up using a breaker bar with an extension to loosen it. WTF? btw: the mopar instructions call for 22 ft/lbs when re-installing. Guessing the original factory install was closer to 122 ft/lbs..... just glad I didn't strip the plastic 'nut' on the housing.

Any wise folks out there with insights (pun intended) on the CTS3 issue and/or not dumping diesel everywhere when removing the rear fuel filter housing?

Excuse me sir but where did you get those hood emblems? I don’t like the stock chrome badges that I have on mine.

Looks Good! What made you decide on the Hercules?
I saw a truck at the shop that had these tires and I loved the look. The shop recommends them as well. They were a bit cheaper than the normal Ridge Grapps,Wildpeaks, Open Country’s, etc.

They are good looking tires. I haven't seen that brand of tires mentioned on here before. I see that they are made by Cooper and I am curious to know how well they perform on wet roads and in snow.
