    Crusty's 75th Annv PW #1590 build/mods adventure

    Out of curiosity I had to see how your Fox would be charged. Somebody overengineered that design. Here is the $400 tool https://www.kartek.com/parts/fox-shocks-803-01-213-nitrogen-filling-tool-for-18-allen-seal-screws.html

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Changed the oil and filters. Been a while since doing it myself embarrassingly. Fortunately I still had the right tools for the job to be less of a tool myself.

    Bypass oil filter

    This guy is doing a series on diesel oil filtration. Worth a watch if you haven't already. He also has a bunch of other topics as well. www.youtube.com/@freedomworx

    RobMac's 24 MegaCab 2500 Limited

    For what it's worth my S&B caused no change in truck performance. However I just changed the filter and added the pre filter filter cover. Was surprised at the amount of large debris caught in the filter media. I don't daily the truck but have taken it on two 180 mile round trips and DPF gauge...

    Hmmm, why does mine have more CCA?

    Sluggish Start, Bad Battery?

    One thing I found when looking into this for testing parallel batteries is to put the positive lead on the 1st battery and the negative on the 2nd. Aside from that I would disconnect them each from the truck and run the out of vehicle test. They may be fine but surprised they test at 12.8v.

    Sluggish Start, Bad Battery?

    I just replaced the batteries on my 22. Just under 3 year old batteries by the date stamp. Same corrosion on the passenger negative terminal. Just assume they are done and get new ones. I've noticed the newer trucks just suddenly don't start with all the computer stuff making decisions about...

    What did you do TO your RAM today?

    Stock batteries died the other morning. By the date stamp 2 years 10 months old. And one with a cruddy terminal. They both tested bad. Giving the Walmart AGM a try. Can't beat the price and 4 year warranty like the competitors. I've had the truck hooked up to a NOCO 5 for about 6 months now...

    I am currently working on installing a 12" Garmin MFD flush on the dash of my friends boat. The boat's dash is literally the same outside vertical dimensions as the unit. Except the dash is curved at the top and bottom. The only way to make it fit correctly was to space the unit 1/2" off the...

    Rear Driveshaft/Crossmember Clearance

    Yeah or a center one. If that axle power hop shock mount is strong enough, triangulate two from the frame each side of it. Edit: what you said

    Rear Driveshaft/Crossmember Clearance

    I would go with limit straps. You don't want to suddenly fully extend those nice shocks anyway. I'm my experience after a build and I take it out wheeling because it's done enough, the rig performs better when limit straps are finally added. Articulating at that full droop is not necessarily...

    Battery trouble

    This is a long shot but I read your first post again and reminded me of a very similar issue I had in my 04 but i was transmission related. Fortunately still under warranty. Anyway, a couple wires in the harness to the transmission were chafed. I was getting really irritated having to go back...

    Alignment after lift

    Lean, or maybe track bar not adjusted correct? Change in sway bar adjustments? Coils set in right orientation, seated? Just throwing out ideas. Been drag racing?

    Love this. Will be so helpful if I ever get around to setting up power in my inclosed crawler hauler trailer. Thanks

    Dirty engine bay

    Wow that is pretty dirty. Maybe they took it for a test spin in the desert of Mexico
