Happy to report that this worked like a charm. The third brake light is now up and running.

Long-ish story. I initially wired it up using the official Leer harness. I found one slightly discounted on eBay. The part number on that is Leer 300100. After some trial and error, I was able to properly power the third brake light, however, using this 7-pin piggyback plug caused the truck to...

The bed setup is coming along. I still need to decide whether I want a bed slide or not--I had one in my last truck and it was awesome, with a few downsides--but the core of what I wanted is in place. I transferred my milwaukee packouts and my hi-lift jack (it won't live there full-time, just...

I just edited my post yesterday. I actually did pick up a CEL (P0174) for running lean on bank 2. I had an unrelated auto stop/start CEL, so I didn't even notice that I had a new CEL until 6 days after I installed the intake. I'm not sure when exactly the code popped up, though I imagine it was...

Big mod! I found a camper shell for sale that had just about everything I wanted. It was worth the 10 hour round trip. Leer 100XR with windoors, carpeted headliner, and roof rails. It also locks/unlocks off of the key fob. I plan on adding some additional sealing and wiring it up within the...

After months of waiting, I finally received and installed my S&B CAI. This thing is a beast. Great build quality, not-so-great packaging, as everything was essentially loose in the box without any type of padding (aside from the filter itself). Thankfully it feels pretty bombproof, so not a huge...

Not so much a mod, but I figured it was worth sharing. If you use the top dash 12v plug at all and want to take it from constant hot to ignition hot, here's a quick how-to I came across. TL;DW(atch), pull Fuse 54 (20a) from beneath the steering wheel and move it one slot to the right from slot A...

I was able to complete the wiring on the grille bars this past week. The parts involved were an sPOD Bantam X, HD controller, an sPOD bracket by NH Overland, and a center console insert by SKT Customs. The NH Overland bracket, while good quality, did not work as advertised (at least, I couldn't...

I signed up for email notifications at the end of October, and received a marketing email about it on December 3rd. When I hopped on the site, it was available for purchase and so I ordered it the same day. Unfortunately, despite no mention (that I recall seeing) of it being in...

I installed one on my 3.0L. I had a J&L on a previous rig and it caught a bunch of crap. It was one of the first mods that I did on the Ram. I actually bought the catch can before I bought my truck so it was ready to install right away.

Merry Christmas, y'all! I managed to get my light bar/grille setup knocked out over the past couple of days. I'm trying to take advantage of the holiday break from work. I used a SDHQ hidden light bar mount and 4x Baja Designs OnX6+ 10" bars. When I get the time, I'll be posting some install...

Integral locking bedside panels for Milwaukee Packout boxes are on! Easy install overall. The hardest part was getting the bolts to thread into the track anchors. They like to pop just far enough in that the threads on the bolts can't quite bite. A shallow socket would have made short work of...

I took some time today to get my VICE Design amber grille lights installed. The install itself was straightforward and took maybe 15 minutes. Dropping one of the lights into the abyss of the engine bay, however, added about an hour and a half and an eventual full front grille teardown to the...

I did a quick install today of my ICS dash mount system. Of note, they only advertise this system as fitting the 12" radio. I took a chance and ordered it on their Black Friday sale and it fit perfectly with my 14" radio. Install took less than 5 minutes: Remove the rubberized tray up top...

Since I asked the question: Checking back in to confirm that the ICS mount does in fact work with the 14" screen. Their site advertised fitment for the 12" only, so I decided to take a chance and it fit like a charm using the same mounting points. I'll be using this with an AMPS 20mm ball and a...
