What did you do to your Ram today???

[kdoublep]

Finally did the rear diff with Amsoil and Mopar friction modifier at 66K.

The old stuff looked pretty good. I added the entire bottle of modifier first and then the amsoil even though amsoil says it has the modifier. Didn't feel like playing games. It took just over 2 bags with a full 4 oz bottle of modifier.

She's quiet and smooth. No chatter whatsoever. Not even cornering.

Looking at your tailpipes, you should think about loosening the clamp (upwards of a foot forward from your tips), and adjust them up tighter to the bumper. They're looking a little droopy.

Here's what mine looked like before and after.

I gotta do mine soon, at 62k. Did you use any type of sealant on the bolts? Ive heard people doing it on the 5th gens but I never did it on my 4th gen.

With what you put your truck through REGULARLY, I would never have pegged you as one who would be concerned about a few measley brush bristles.

i try my best not to get pinstripes and brush/ sandpapering is straight unacceptable lol
with pinstripes I can say it's battle scar, but the same can't be said with brush bristles. oh and the mud washes off easily with pressure washer.

tbh with the amount of wheeling I do I can avoid pinstripes 90% of the time. that 10% of the time is either due to poor planning on my part or poor leading on my friend's part (aka, knowing trail gets narrow but don't tell me until I see it and it's too late to turn around)

well I crawled under the truck to see how bad the underside is:





Needless to say, when I finally power wash the underside I'll need to allocate another 2 hours cleaning up the ground too lol

I also recharged my Fox shocks nitrogen. I was touching bumpstop on the trail and the front felt way softer than before, and I found out I only had <150psi when they were shipped with 200psi. The rear because I'm running my offroad setting all the time (max out both knobs) I didn't really feel much difference between before checking and new. Well, the rears were at around 80psi only.
We charged all 4 corners to 225psi instead for better suspension response while going fast on dirt road and boy oh boy what a difference it makes! The fronts are stiffer with on road setting (not so plushy anymore) but it basically eliminates all the body roll. The rears are way too stiff for on road (using offroad settings) but I'm not going to go down on the ground to adjust them every time I hit the trail.

After we recharged it we did some parking lot entrance testing with my offroad mode:

Finally took some pics of the side steps and window visors... Truck isn't clean. Been raining on and off since I bought the truck, so there hasn't been any reason to wash it.

Thank you. It would have been a lot easier to do the exhaust if I had done the lift first!

They wouldn't have helped with the exhaust. Need the suspension to be extended for more room

That's not very dirty underneath.

I didn't open it up. Just drained and filled. No red flags to warrant it. I'll open it next time though.

I meant on the drain and fill plug bolts.

No need

Use a Lubelocker gasket when you do pull the cover, real life saver, no mess. No need for rtv on the diff cover bolts either

Sorry I misunderstood. No I did not. They were good to go. I just cleaned them. The drain plug still had some type of thread lock on it and it tightened up good.

Finally put my NightRider lights on. These lights really shine a long distance.
