What did you do TO your RAM today?

[tcedgar8]

Guess I should set mine up on the home automation like the block heater (currently below 20F). Pretty rare it gets -4F here in the winter though.

That said, I saw this on a forum (so it must be true right?):


I've a little BatteryTender Junior brick I keep on my ATV (under a cover) all the time and it's not supposed to be used below 32F and has never had an issue.


ETA: Actually, I've been thinking about using an HA rule to cycle the block heater on/off depending on my presence, the weather, and perhaps even add a temp probe to monitor the block temp... Life360 broke their API so I'm trying to make some other presence detection options work reliably first.

Interesting enough on the NOCOs in low temps. I bought two NOCO chargers NOCO Genius GEN5X1, and a Genius 2A. 2A is installed on my 19 Ram and the 5A is installed on my Freightliner M2. The 5A was installed during a good cold snap during Christmas. The first night it was installed was approx. -40C to -45C. It was not happy when I plugged it in battery's were not frozen and has been charged for 13hrs. That said the thing has never let me down since. I know lowest operating rand is -30C but has been that cold previously and worked fine. The charger module is in the cab on the M2 and the Dodge is under the hood. Both work perfect.

The main thing I missed about my 1500 was the leather interior, so finally got around to the Katzkin conversion over the weekend. Turned out pretty well. Healthy coat of conditioner and going to park in the sun for a couple days to loosen a few spots up then work out the remaining wrinkles.

Are those ventilated/cooled/heated?

Thank you!

They are just the Bighorn seats with leather covers swapped on, so unfortunately only heated.

Had my eye on a full set of Limited seats to swap in from a local auto parts recycler, but the $2,500 for a set of used limited seats vs. $700 for the leather covers to swap onto my current seats was quite the difference.

I'd be interested to see the back side of the LED light bar, specifically how you mounted it. TIA

It's a kit from CJC: https://www.cjcoffroad.com/collecti...ucts/dodge-ram-2500-3500-19-on-20-bumper-kits

Easy install.

 

[clownpocket]

Really good idea but maybe use something with a little less gloss like 303....kinda looks like them bikini streamers on Twitch...

I had a 2013 Long horn Mega and loved that back seat. It was a 2500 so once you fill it up you might as well have a 1500 for payload lol

It's just CJC Off-road brackets. I think they sell the brackets if you already have a light bar. It'd be difficult to get pics of the brackets installed, the lower bumper valance would have to come back off. I've supplied a link to the kit though.

Did you CAD those or buy them somewhere?

 

[GatorNation]

Stuffed the spare tire and wheel back under after I wire wheeled and painted it with the 35” MT Baja Boss on it. No airing down and no mod needed to heat shield etc.

Nice Looks great. I was debating building But I didn't want it to hinder usability of my bed. ie loads longer than 6.5'.

Picked up some RAM floormats for my vinyl floor. The vinyl floor is great, but I find it annoying to clean. These should make that easier.

Do the front snap in ok? Had them on my 1500 and they lined up perfectly. My 3500 they dont stay. The holes are a little off...not the biggest deal as they haven't moved around yet, but still. lol

The drivers side is perfect, the passenger side took a tiny bit of stretching to make it snap in.

How long have you had that winch sitting in your garage? Look out for a recall on those remotes with wireless capability (if applicable to yours)

1 day after installing them the back of the passenger seat was already full of foot prints. Ha.
