What did you do to your Ram today???

Link to the badge you used? Or did you make it?

Most likely this.


Yes, that is exactly the place I got mine from! It shipped from Canada but still came fairly quickly.

Called on it.

FCA suggested a 48V battery pack, out of service 5/20, ETA 6/27.

Been looking at new trucks, I'd go Ram again with a healthy trade in and Mark Dodge discount for a low trim I6.
Not good, over a month to get a battery pack?

Well, it did take a week and a half to datalog/email/diag and wait for FCA response, so yeah, 4 weeks to ship...
 
Pretty amazing considering the number of those battery packs that are in use today
 
First, thanks for replying. I did this install on my old Gladiator, same deal into a switch panel connected both red's to the battery as well as grounds. Purple and black wires to switch panel. Worked like a charm, no manifold needed. On my gladiator I just extended the wires with 10 and 8 gauge wire, this time I used an aftermarket harness extension connected to the ARB harness. Gonna purchase another ARB harness and just extend that the same way I did on my gladiator. It will make troubleshooting easier as I won't have to pull the rambox again.

Behind the rear seat of the Gladiator. Switch is not wired, just put it in the slot to fill the hole. Manifolds are only if using lockers so no need I'm just using for OBA.

let us know how it goes!
 
Well, since we are heading to AK I decided to add some racks for emergency fuel storage and/or generator gas. I used 3/4" plywood for the mount and then use rivet nut tool to place the nuts in the bed wall. I have 2 - 2 gallon containers one for each side.

That came out very clean. Great job!
 
If anyone has been here for a while you may remember the great Shell Rotella Gas Truck Oil Rush of 2020 😂 Well, I just used the last of my surplus clearanced oil on my 8th oil change at 58,295 miles.

Was $10.50 for 5 quart jugs. 1 quart bottles were also clearanced. I think I bought like $300-$400 worth of oil. Lasted me 4 yrs across my 3 vehicles lol.

you too?? lol we might see each other if you're still there in august/ september
 
Ball joints? I see you have a level on the truck, hopefully it's not related to bad install
Yeah, I'm wondering if it'd the level that killed it.

Where do yall get the reinforced upper control arms? I doubt the dealership is gonna warranty this and I would rather not put the stock arms back on.

Why I never recommend spacers! I would grab the RC Forged arms. Many go with the OEM Mopar lift UCA's, but I wouldn't waste my time on those. Also grab some lifted struts and do it right this time.

Glad it wasn't worse.

Many different companies make UCAs for our trucks. I am running Zone Off-road because I got them BNIB for a smoking deal off local marketplace. If I was buying new from retailer, I'd probably go with the JBA control arms. I like them because they use a bolt on ball joints that will be easier to replace when needed. As opposed to most that use pressed in ball joints.
