I used to do that till I had to replace the backup camera because it was cloudy from scratches.

Best of luck with your dissertation! It's grueling, but worth it. Eventually, the trauma fades.Masters was 5yrs ago.
Im hoping to be Dr. JamRam by the end of summer.
You don't have to disclose your field, but does your program require a defense?

Gave it a bath and tossed some black nuts on it. Looks much better.
In my opinion, black lugnuts change the entire appearance of the truck. I never understood why Ram installs black rims with chrome lugnuts. It makes no sense to me. Good for you; it looks great.
Because black lugnits don't stay black, and would be a warranty issue as people nitpick about that.

How do you like the Toyo Proxes?
Hey peeps, lotta stuff happened the past 6 months, so i've been a little off the grid haha. so in ref to the above post i did from last Nov... the truck was still within the original factory warranty by like 5k miles so luckily the dealer actually replaced the entire rear window under warranty. I was actually amazed it ended up that way because of the way they were handling it. No one wants to work on water leak stuff. the first time they said they did a water test and pulled the headliner down and had a tech inside and a tech outside and said there was no leak found... which i was already suspect since thats not how water works.Taped her up.just got done with an electrical issue and when I picked her up this am, I saw the leaking. Another one falls to the back window issue.
covered up until my appt next wed

so they said "keep an eye on it and let us know" which is "do your own water test" basically. 2 days later it snows, then the snow melted and it started to leak on the seat immediately... so THIS time i took it to a car wash right away... pulled in and got in the back seat. it started actively leaking right away again so i took pics and video. and it stopped as soon as i pulled out of the carwash. Took all of that to the dealer and showed them, and they were like "ok we'll check it out." the called me back and described the "water test" procedure to me again (as if this was the first time telling me ::: or doing it ::: haha) and then said that the frame had separated from the glass in one spot on the passenger's side. so they said they had to replace the entire back window.
they ordered it, it got there in like 3 weeks and they had the truck another couple days when it arrived as they take it apart, a glass company installs it and then the dealer puts it back together... but not well actually haha. the Driver's side C-pillar was sticking out with the air bag log screw cap hanging. in the day light i realized a wire bundle was in the way so i removed 3 screws, moved it and snapped the c-pillar back in and put the screws back in. Kinda pissed me off cuz like what, you just said F-it and gave it back to the customer like that? lame. but fixable and in the end, the new window is sealed up nice and tight (and it actually looks pretty different from the old one too so i'm hoping that means its a newly designed part and this won't happen again, but
)Fast Forward to NOW, when what i did to my Ram today was PAID HER OFF!!!!

Glad they fixed the leak, and congrats on paying it off. Sending that last payment is such a nice feeling. I get to send my first at the end of the month. Not looking forward to that.Hey peeps, lotta stuff happened the past 6 months, so i've been a little off the grid haha. so in ref to the above post i did from last Nov... the truck was still within the original factory warranty by like 5k miles so luckily the dealer actually replaced the entire rear window under warranty.

I have until September 2027, and mine will be paid off. I'm really struggling not to go back to a 2018 CTD though. Thank goodness the interest rates are high and keeping me in my truck.Hey peeps, lotta stuff happened the past 6 months, so i've been a little off the grid haha. so in ref to the above post i did from last Nov... the truck was still within the original factory warranty by like 5k miles so luckily the dealer actually replaced the entire rear window under warranty.

Installed chase lights. NH Overland brackets and Auxbeam R4's. I'm impressed. Lots and lots of heavy fog down here on the bayou. A year and a half ago on a road I travel regularly there was a 160 car pile up and 7 dead because of superfog. Ill flip these to strobe anytime I feel like I need it. Could save a life.

I taped off and sealed the rear window with permatex. Also order new rear cab vent to pop in later.

Finally got around to getting the level and new wheels and tires installed, along with a little extra growl from the exhaust. Will get some more pics soon. In the meantime here’s the details:
Bilstein 5100 front struts
Bilstein 5100 rear shocks
Arena Wheel Co. Mission Wheels 20x9, 0 offset
LT285/65/20 Falken Wildpeak AT4w
Carven Competitor Series Cut and Clamp exhaust w/ stock resonators
Carven 5” Black ceramic tips
All the work done by DirtyDiesels in Birdsboro, PA. Drove nearly an hour to work with them due to a recommendation and couldn’t be happier with the deal they got me and the work they did. Highly recommend to reach out to them if you’re in the southeast/central PA region.
