What did you do to your Ram today???

[JamRam]

Dropped my daughter off at a friend's house today and noticed a whole Lotta squeaking from the front end when turning (worse when stationary).

No telling how long that's been going on (my music is always super loud). Just had the radio off today as we talked along the way.

Need to go figure that out now.

I would be curious what the culprit is, if you find it. I have been chasing a squeak in the front end for weeks. Spraying silicone on every bushing I can find. Haven't fixed it yet.

Nothing... its sitting at the dealership waiting for repairs... ugh.

I still wasn't happy with the ram box alignment so I readjusted them again. The gaps and the height of the top of lid with the bed rails was fine but the sides were not even or flush with the bed side.

I removed the screws from the ram box lid and elongated the screw holes in black plastic trim cover.



Now the bottom and the sides of the ram box lid line up with the bedside body panel.







I can appreciate and like the usefulness of the ram boxes but I've never liked them because of the alignment issues. I shouldnt not have to spend this much time fixing this, Ram should have gotten this right on the assembly line

Replaced blown F53 in the IPDC.
Messed up yesterday by plugging the center switch stack connector to the center display, got lucky with only blowing the fuse.

Changed the oil yesterday and while under there I touched that bolt head and confirmed why my exhaust is leaking... I clamped it down seems the gasket is still good...

This is the reason I've never liked ramboxes, they almost always seem misaligned. I found that there's a tool and instructions to correct this so I bought the mopar tool 2069900230 and adjusted mis-aligned ramboxes. My trucks passenger side was far worse than the driver

I found a new tool on ebay and bid $65 and it was accepted

Also found the 10MM ram box lid screws barely finger tight, adjusting them will allow you to move the doors in or out 1/4" helping them to sit flush with the body line. I'll probably mess with the driver side a little more to get it closer but both sides took about 30 min with the tool

How much was the tool and where did you get it from?

I too have learned not to ask when borrowing things from the kitchen.

eBay, I offered $65 and they accepted. It's available many places but around $100

Went to a camping event hosted by Toyo Tires over the weekend.
Noticed somehow I get direction on the dash now when using Google Maps... previously this was only limited to using Apple Maps.
Not sure how I feel about that.

Went campin'

Enjoyed sunset

Had spicy at camp...

Had greasy at camp

Then proceeded to blow up the toilet in my friend's slide-in camper.
Marti was staring while I was blowing up the toilet so... that was awkward.

Rotated the tires and changes the oil.

Very handsome Gentleman (I assume male) sitting there.

My Sheppy requires that she be nose to nose with me during my library time, she is my P.S.D but it still is a bit awkward

RCI skid plate. Engine section was made wrong, so I put the factory skid back on. See what they say. If they want me to pay shipping to fix their mistake I will either re-drill it myself or keep the factory one on.

What UConnect version are you on?

Noticed somehow I get direction on the dash now when using Google Maps... previously this was only limited to using Apple Maps.

IIRC, I found a setting in the Uconnect (on my '25) to turn off showing directions in the EVIC (or whatever it's called now).

I don't care to see directions there AND on the Uconnect screen, so I turned that setting off. Now I don't get directions from Apple Maps, either.

Odd I've never had android auto directions on my 8 inch console screen but I don't have the Full LCD/OLED/Whatever it is screen.
