What did you do to your Ram today???

Nothing exciting. Bought another 7 quarts of Valvoline Restore and Protect. Did a drain and fill prematurely about 1,300 miles ago. Kept my old filter on. Fella online removed his oil filter after having ran R&P for the first time and found quite a bit of gunk built up in the filter. So I decided I'd run it through about 1,500 miles and change the oil and filter out to start "fresh". I was only about 5,000 miles into that oil and filter before I decided to move to R&P. So far my truck seems to like it better than Mobil 1. Truck is at 78,xxx miles now and knock on wood - there's been zero powertrain issues so far.

Probably because Mobil1 isn't as good as people want it to be anynore. The Valvoline R&P is a better rated oil and performs better in testing.
 
I had the Rough Country 2 inch level lift installed with 295/55/R22 Toyo Open Country AT3s today. No rubbing of any kind. It definitely feels better but the tires are at about 38lbs of pressure. Will test it for a bit before I maybe drop the pressure just a tad.
Now she needs a bath when the weather improves.

WOW THATS SOME SERIOUS COIN
It's probably less than you think. The vacuum was $100, the highspeed buffer was $237, the 5 inch polisher was $234, 3 inch with 2 batteries was $169 total $740 using returned items
Normally with all new it ends up being close to $1000. It's still more than what I had thought it was, but I've blown money on dumber chit. Tools are a investment most of the time but the older you get the more likely they are not. 🤪 My nephews will get some cool stuff when I go so I'm good with that.
 
Yes, Freedom is what you fight for today. They just want money and fines from you.
Yeah, sadly, today they give tickets for Exhaust for being over the decibels---Tint on Left and Right front windows. And aftermarket lights on your vehicle if it did not come factory it is a ticket. These are laws passed and written in the books; the only way to have them changed is by the legislators.
 
I noticed the same thing when I tried the app. I did call the 800 number and it was for Ram connected services. I'm the 2nd owner and the app subscription was still under the original owners name. In order for me to transfer everything into my name, I had to pay for the subscription. Once she told me that, I didn't even ask how much it is and hung up the phone. I can remote start and lock/unlock with my key fob. However, not having the keys on me and needing something from the truck would be a nice feature but not worth a monthly fee to me.

I think those that bought new are the only ones who can still use some of the features once the trial and/or subscription runs out.
I too am a second owner. I had to call in, provide proof of ownership, they activated my Vin, no mention of needing a subscription. App is working. Lock Unlock is available.
 
Needed to clean hard water stains off my windows, got out the rotary, glass pad and ceriglass and started; PITA and a mess.
Remembered that I bought some Glaco Glass Compound and tried that. Cleaned the glass perfectly then added polish/coating. Very simple and easy to use and windows are crystal clear. Should have started with this. The rotary, glass pad and ceriglass worked but this was a lot simpler, easier & netted the same result and you don't run the risk of overheating the glass and damaging it.

Was waiting on some friends for an event so decided to take some pics.
2022 rebel hemi etorque. Loaded with most of the bells and whistles. Bought it 2 months ago. Added running boards, a bulletproof phone mount and a cheap trifold soft bed cover. I have plans for an ultralight hard shell camper top like a hiatus so just needed something to cover the bed.

Does your radio work?
 
New rubbers for slayer there is a chance I know who built my tires as there is a cooper plant not far from me. 4 out the door at Walmart for 875. I got 62k out of the factory tires could have pushed another 10k but winter is coming and i could see myself in a ditch.
