What did you do to your Ram today???

[Dogpatch]

UPDATE:
Took the truck in to get it assessed for the roof leak.
They said it would take most of the day.
My salesman Landon said “here“ and handed me the keys to his own personal new Ram to drive. Great guy!

I finally called Service for an update in the afternoon as I hadn’t heard anything and they said “We’re almost done with it come down and get your truck“.
I wondered how much it was going to cost me as I was originally told it wasn’t covered by FCA or my Extended Warranty package.
I got to the front desk they said ”It’s coming from the 3rd Brake light” and I asked “how much do I owe for the diagnostics and what will it cost to fix”?

Well…I have the best Dealership in the World! Vernon Dodge in Vernon, BC.

They said ”Nothing Les, we decided to replace the 3rd brake light and upgraded gasket completely and we sent it out to a detail shop to clean the headliner for you at our cost”.
I gotta tell you. I was in shock! I walked around and said “Thank You” about 20 times to everyone! I’m a BIG fan of these guys!

I had a guy come out and re-dye my driver seat where it was peeling. Looks new again.

That’s awesome that they took care of you.

Only thing is, now you’ll have to lend Landon your truck when his window leaks.

No problem there! I already share all his sales posts on my FB. He gets some good extra coverage on a regular basis.

Did you buy the truck from that dealership?

Yup.
Actually bought our first car from them about 18 years ago.

Hell yea that’s a W man!

Swapped out aftermarket mirror glass that only had heated and blind spot to oem glass on driver and passenger side with heated, blind spot, and auto dim. Programmed with Alfa and all is good. Have the drivers aftermarket glass if anyone needs it, but broke the passenger one taking it out.

I will be very interested to hear your thoughts on the tune, especially the initial lag, and the shift speed and force. I hope they have actually dyno and street developed a tune to quicken etorque shifts. I heard a charger with good mufflers take off thru the gears and almost cried at how lethargic my truck was when I first got it. Back in my day, if you had 400hp, you were movin'.

I will let you know! Pretty excited about it.

When I bought mine, I was really hoping to not go with the eTorque. I had exactly 1k miles on my truck when my entire thing shut down in the middle of an intersection because of eTorque (electrical failure). Just now passed the 36k mark and am holding my breath now! But I was looking for some very particular features, and it was super hard to find what I wanted and it was the only option.

how was the process? i been wanting to do passenger side with heated and auto dim but dunno if it's worth the process.

 

[Bobbybob]

But be prepared to take a mpg hit if you keep it at the external high settings. Same with a tuner

Agreed...I am a fan of tuning cars though. I have a little supercharged S4 in the garage for weekends with a stage 2 on it. More HP and torque than my hemi She drinks the gas.

Pretty easy. I took the whole mirror off the truck. Pop the glass out and fish the wires through from the glass to the plugs already there and add the needed connections and reinstall. Need to use Alfa to activate. I took my time and had both done in under 2 hours

installed new front sway bar bushings. probally a placebo effect but i swear she rides alot better

I’d believe you if those were sayyyy… orange, for ex.

What’s the difference between this sway bar and the oem one that comes on a ORG LIMITED? If any?

Finally started the handle swap, going from red to chrome….

So honestly, I don’t know that specifically. BUT, I would have a hard time believing that the bar on the ORG Limited, is any different than the bar on a rebel. The rebel is the one that I have. And the rebel stock bar is thinner and hollow, this bar is thicker diameter, solid and I think almost 6-8~ pounds heavier than stock (I’m actually gonna weight them both when I get the old one off)

Edit: the Hellwig bare bar with no hardware weighs 11.2lbs. (For future ref when I do the install)

Makes for a more rigid torsion bar. And the adjustability is nice (tho for me it’s always been a set it and forget it thing personally)

While I agree with you and have used Hellwig in the past, I was very interested in the posts or thread elsewhere dealing with flattening and redrilling the OEM bar. I may do that myself.

you should read this thread

Hellwig? Hell, yeah!

I just added the Hellwig rear sway bar. Thanks to everyone who recommended it (and the links to the AAFES store). I used the Hellwig heavy duty end-links. I set the end-links to the middle hole in the sway bar. I've just driven about 20 minutes...and am amazed at the difference. What a...
