First time hand waxing the truck. Coming from 15 years of owning white / silver vehicles I forgot how much pop you get from the darker colors. I also forgot how much work it is :)

Thats some of the best waxes I've used. Its very forgiving on surfaces wax typically make a mess of and the ease of removal is great.

I did as well for my spacers I'll be installing this week. I haven't tried it yet, but sounds like it may be very useful especially in the winter.
 
Made in an appointment at the dealership to havesee if they can figure out why my phone and the media/radio/uconnect w9nt connect more t8mes than it will, and why I've lost 4 Low....
 
Got hit from behind on Wednesday. Took in to body shop this morning. Hoping they don't total it out. Drives fine though. airbags didn't deploy but had the white powder as if one was all in cab after I got hit. Any ideas if they can end up fixing or if it would be considered otherwise?

Should be fixable, and airbags should never deploy if you get rear-ended

WoW! That's NOT good :oops: I'm hoping those fluids weren't belonging from the truck.
If the trailer hitch is straight it'll be fix is my guess. There is a steel plate behind the license plate which ties the trailer hitch to the frame.
I only know this because I put a new rear bumper on the other day. If it bent the frame they may not idk...
I have an extra bumper for sale

I've not seen a ladder like that. I've used similar ones that you lay down on over the the engine, but I cant lay on my chest and breathe very long.
Is that one actually an automotive or painters design?

thats a step stool that got crushed... by a vehicle lol
we kept it because it still works fine hahaha

though sometimes I use it to hold tools and parts. but most of time time we use it to fill oil on lifted trucks like mine. we also use ladders and even milk crates too and we call that "leg extension" :ROFLMAO:

picture was taken right before we close the gate for the day and i just dragged everything in.

Replaced drivers side TP senders, they failed one after another in a couple weeks time.
Waiting for the passenger side to start acting up.

Being. 2019, it's possible the batteries were going bad. Not sure if you can replace just the batteries. But they aren't too expensive to replace the whole thing I guess
 
Today I tested out towing my buddies 27ft fully loaded enclosed car trailer to see if it was feasible for me to buy one. Between the distribution hitch and my bags it barley felt more then my normal 20ft open car trailer.

Although I think I want to switch to the 33gallon tank and swap the 3.21 gears for the 3.92 gears before I start actually shopping for an enclosed trailer to tow long distances to events.

Not sure how much of a difference it might make, but a v-nose may pull a little easier than that big sail.

Def I’ve got time to decide on what to buy, this was more just to see if a bigger enclosed like this was feasible I will probably end up with a 24ft anyway

Oh man sorry this happened to ya! That’s one of my worst fears is some dumb @ss on their tele and ramming(no pun intended) into the back of me!
As far as the repair, I personally wouldn’t want it repaired. Having body shop paint on any of my vehicles is a no no! I’d want them to total it and toss me a 2025-26 Ram my way!

Be sure you file a diminished value against the drivers insurance company. Not many folks know about this.

The batteries were failing, about 37 bucks per transmitter /stem, no complaints.
