What did you do to your Ram today???

Throw that battery on a trickle charger while waiting to install it
I tested it with multiple testers and all cam out around cca of 1008 ish. I've already got it on a trickle. 🤪
I'm going to try and revive the old one and use it for spot welding my 18650 battery packs.

I’ve had pretty good luck using a NOCO Genius battery charger. The one I have is a G7200 with “repair mode” and can de-sulfate and recharge a battery back to life from the dead. They claim from as low as 1 volt. It's worked for me a couple of times.
There is a newer version of what I have.
Here’s a link and a picture.

At the 95k km mark, I had planned to get a peace-of-mind inspection at the dealership.🤓

At 98k, I started to notice a difference in the engine sound on start up. Made the inspection appointment immediately. 😳

Took it in this morning at 99,500km. Got the call that I need a new cam shaft, new rockers, and new lifters.😵

It's been a while since I've been this sad-happy. 🤣

Warranty work for the win!😎

Did they open anything up to confirm or just listened and said “what the hell, lets do this guy a solid”!
 
RCI skid plate. Engine section was made wrong, so I put the factory skid back on. See what they say. If they want me to pay shipping to fix their mistake I will either re-drill it myself or keep the factory one on.
Update: RCI sent a replacement skid plate no questions asked. Great company to work with!

Installed an Amazon HUD. I’m actually really happy with it. I have it set to just show speed. After moving it around a bit, I found a location I am happy with (lower left of my field of view). Ran the OBD cable between the windshield and dash so you really can’t see it. Only downside was it would reflect off the inside and outside of the windshield. I tried it for a day and then installed the screen that comes with it to keep the reflection on the inside of the windshield.

One of the reviewers on Amazon said he had his installed for 5 years. I hope my $30 HUD lasts that long.

Work completed in a day. Truck is back in my driveway and purring like a kitten.

what running boards are those? im looking for wheel to wheel to also gain access to the items in the front of my bed from the sides
 
I completely get that man, I know mine is going to have her head shoved in the shower curtain looking at me but ever now and then it is a bit shocking to she her staring at me when I am done rinsing my face.
My "baby" was never satisfied with poking her head in the shower..she would jump in every time..at least she was always clean!

Love ALL the new lighting!!

Any chance you could enlighten us on the wiring needed for those grill lights? I've heard that getting the signals to work can be tricky(?).
