What did you do to your Ram today???

[TheWaterman83]

Dropped it off at the dealer this morning, to get exhaust manifolds, and fuel filling issue looked at. Got the call about 3:45, passenger side exhaust manifold cracked. New one will be here tomorrow, covered under powertrain warranty. Fueling issue is the vapor canister. Not covered under emissions warranty, $620 to have dealer fix it. No thanks I will fix that myself.

What's involved with the vapor can?

I'm actually hoping my driver side manifold goes before 9/26 and 100k in miles. I'll probably get to 9/26 first. Really would like that covered under warranty.

ok cool. i put the corsa cat back on my wifes hemi jgc and its loud lol. cold starts i wake the neighbors lol. i just want to make sure thats not how it is on the ram.

I guess it depends on how close your neighbors are. I’m currently in an Apt complex, corner ground unit, and can hear my truck start up from 30 yards away, but I have to listen for it. I click the remote, count to 4 and it starts on 5, if I don’t hear it, I click it again. Haven’t received any complaints from any neighbors in the ~6ish months so far. And I usually leave my place by 530am.

What fuel tank do you have? I just upgraded from the 26 gallon to 33 gallon fuel tank a couple weeks ago, and I have my factory 26 gallon tank and vapor canister sitting in the garage. Approx. 25k miles on the canister. If that is the canister you need for your truck and you're interested, you're welcome to it.

Had a set of Michelin Defender LTX M/S tires installed and lower ball joints done yesterday.

What brand of tire did you take off?
How's on the ride on the LTX M/S ?

Yes, I have the 26 gallon tank. If you don't mind, I'd throw us some money for shipping and your time

Personally, I run nothing but the Michelin Defender LTX M/S on my trucks for 3 of 4 seasons.(I run dedicated winters for the 4th season)
They’ve changed the model from M/S to an M/S2.
The tires are like riding on a cloud. Awesome in rain with zero hydroplaning. Great wearing as well.

I'm in IL, near Chicago and my truck has been in IL all it's life. Of course our winters don't seem as bad as they used to. I always worried, but after having I wouldn't change a thing. Clean and Lube.

Good to know. Yeah it often gets well below freezing here, then the slush will freeze in huge blobs to my existing steps. I'm just not sure how well they would open and shut with all that ha. I constantly have to remind myself not to close my mirrors over night here in the winter time. I'll go out in the morning and spend at least 5 minutes getting snow and ice out of the hinge joints so they'll open again

Yeah I actually shut my steps off when it snows for a few days, then run thru car wash to clean. Once I install the lift, I'll need to leave them on, or risk falling on my a$$

So just got a call from the dealer, they are going to go ahead and fix it as a one time goodwill fix.

Perfect. That is even better. If anything changes and you need it just shoot me a message.

Went by the auto tint place to see what it would cost to tint the front 2 side windows to match the ones in the back doors. 30 minutes and $100 for standard tint, $160 for ceramic tint.

spend the extra and get the ceramic tint

 

[Jedi9]

Will it help even if I don't do the rear sides or back window with ceramic?

Yep, unless you're sitting in the back seat.

 

[Jedi9]

Never, that's why I got a quad. I understand the purpose of ceramic is to keep heat out?

Yes and worth every penny IMO.
Cost me 160 for the two fronts, went with Maryland legal ceramic.

 

[Jedi9]

that was the price I got for ceramic, 160 for the two fronts, Autobahn tint. SC allows 27% tint. The guy said they usually go 20-25 to match the rear side window.
Thanks for your input

 

[mplaramie]

I think this added 10hp to 15hp....

I did my whole truck with ceramic tint almost 5 years ago and it's worth it. I even did my panoramic roof, so I don't know what the number is, because I told him to match the back and make everything the same.

Some have claimed the pano roof will hold heat and explode so I left mine alone for this reason. Plus a few shops in AZ won't do them for this reason.
