What did you do to your Ram today???

Bought an Improved Racing CCS High Efficiency Oil catch can, fittings, hose and built my own oil vapor catch can system.

I didn't know if anyone has played around with different temperatures etc.
I've got 63k miles so I've been thinking about it, but looks like I can go worry free till 80k. 😁
I thought about it at 50 and then decided to pull the trigger at 80. Glad I did, but could have went to 100 by the way they look.
Pretty easy job, except the one near the brake booster.

Unless you are modified, and reading the plugs shows you may need a different temp range, no need to change from factory
 
Changed the plugs today. 80k on the clock. How do they look?
at a glance look like some rifle rounds.
\at a closer look they do look like spark plugs, looks good to me.

jokes aside if you're not seeing oil on spark plug then you're okay.
 
I got my finger smashed while adjusting a jack stand the other day so don't feel left out. 🤪
It's not the first time and unfortunately won't be the last . It's just part off it. 😵‍💫
Had a swivel explode on me a couple years ago. Still have numbness.

How does the ladder secure to the tailgate? I couldn’t tell from the pics.

Ladder Installation
1. Place Mounting Plate (E) on desired side of tailgate.
Note: Select a location at least 1″ from the top of the
tailgate, and at least 1/2″ from the side of the tailgate.
Rocker posts must be toward the edge of the tailgate.
CAUTION! Before drilling, verify that the
installation surface has no hidden components
or structural pieces that will be damaged.
2. Ensure that the Mounting Plate and rocker
posts will not interfere with the closure and
latching of the tailgate before drilling.
3. Use Mounting Plate as a template
to mark holes locations.
4. Using a 9/64″ drill bit, drill six holes into the tailgate.

You definitely answered my question. After reading my question I realize I wasn’t clear on what I was asking. My ladder has a strap with a clip that holds it tight to the tailgate when not in use. I couldn’t tell by the description or pics how HF’s ladder, once bolted to the tailgate, is held tight once it is stowed? Sorry for the confusion.
 
Looks like I'll be heading to Wally World later this morning to swap out my battery.
OE battery lasted 18 months.
Walmart H8 AGM lasted 40 months.

Edited for bad math before coffee.

We are going to see how well Cerakote holds up. I don't expect miracles do to the location but it'll interesting. I did them all.
 
How much lift you looking for ? I had the dobinsons coils on my 2019 with a rack and tent on it gave me 2inches of lift - Coil Spring

They do make a higher constant load coil and a much lighter one too. I’m probably going to get them again for my rebel or maybe try the Carli rebel hd ones that are meant to net 1inches of lift.

I don't want anything over 2 inches, preferably an inch if possible. I was interested in what others have done.
I was thinking of air bags possibly... idk
