What did you do to your Ram today???

[boogielander]

Oh ya I saw the drop down has options. Both just don’t make sense. Not a dig at what you going on. Just doesn’t make sense so was curious if that was Shopify driving that cost.

Either way wouldn’t touch usps ground saver with a 10’ foot pole haha. No savings is worth a package never arriving. lol

hahaha yeah i hear ya.

the thing is I've had nothing but good experience with USPS (i've been shipping stuff with USPS since I was selling woodworking stuff on the site in the late 2010s and in the rare case a package went missing the insurance paid out pretty quickly). But with UPS... they've F me on a few Amazon returns already and I can no longer trust them. long story short, I dropped off my return to UPS and they scanned it, only for Amazon return center not to receive it (or even receive the wrong item) and they charged my card on file. Had to fight them hard to get it dropped. When I disputed with my bank, they even sent me an email asking me why am I disputing it, and then proceeded to tell me "we're charging your card" after I explained.

but i enabled UPS just now so people have options.

Started my annual spring clean up on the truck by removing real wheels, pulling the rear wheel liners and washing behind them. Prevention is the best way to keep rust from starting in the first place. There's a reason so many trucks rust out around the wheel wells and lower rockers. Those areas are generally ignored when people wash their vehicles. And automatic car washes don't get there either. Had a couple other people on Facebook commen that they get their truck jundercoated. Well I do as well, but pulling the wheel well liners is the only way to get all the way up behind them. It was obvious the undercoating didn't reach all the way to the top on the inner lip where dirt sits and starts the rust.

Also installed the Bilstien 5100 rear shocks I snagged of marketplace for $75 brand new in box.

Unlike OEM locks at over $160, just another cheap option for floor storage. Yes I know they sell locking replacement covers, but wasn't that serious.

Running a 3.6 RWD setup and moving forward with a rear-end upgrade after winter season experience . Just ordered LTG 4x4 rear electric locker kit and Motive 3.92 ring and pinion gears (9.25/9.25ZF). Current setup is 3.21 open diff which is fine for daily use but not ideal with 35” tires or in low traction. Plan is to install locker and gears together to avoid reopening the diff later. Expected gains: better acceleration and throttle response, proper gearing for 35s, no more one-wheel spin, much better traction in snow/mud/, and overall more responsive drivetrain. Will recalibrate gear ratio after install with Tazer DT. Hope everything will go smoothly.

Truck is currently down while the engine is being rebuilt ( Misfire at high RPM +Black Spark Plugs After 3 Days of use … Here’s What I Found… ), but the project is still moving forward. I ordered the 12.1-inch screen setup today. Right now the truck still has the factory 8.4-inch screen, so this will be a nice interior upgrade. It should be back soon after the cylinder head repair, hopefully with full power and a fresh spark. After that, the plan is to install the e-locker I already ordered, swap to a 3.92 gear ratio, and replace the OEM 8.4-inch screen with the new 12.1-inch setup.

I think that hurts more than my windshield did.

The rear differential should be changed early if you have the LSD, in my opinion. Lots of break in/wear stuff, and my change showed it too, as I mentioned earlier. The E-Lockers and open diffs can probably go a bit longer, but even they will have some wear metals in them.

The others I change and fill just for my peace of mind, plus the fact that the factory underfills them all a bit to save a few bucks. And they're easy to get to and refill on our trucks. The transmission, on the other hand, I may top off (referencing the underfill I mentioned earlier), but otherwise I leave that alone until at least 50k miles.

100% necessary? No. But I rest easier knowing my expensive contraption has better fluids.

Before I knew anything about cars I knew changing my oils and fluids made it last longer and they ran better. It's just overlooked basics

I laughed after the initial sting wore off. It's not the first ding on the truck, but it is the ugliest. On the fence if I should get it fixed since I'm trading it in a year or so.

Don't worry about me its only been 10 days 5 days in ICU 4 days in regular room I'm home again... and no one missed me where is the love?
I can't do much for another 9 days so I thought it would be a good time to play around with my light set up. I bought several of these units.
I'd like to separate and paint white also would like to know what's going on inside it sorry for the pathetic attempt for attention

i get the "truck doesn't look lifted anymore"
but i always say "look at the trophy trucks they don't look lifted at all and yet they got like 15" of travel!"

man i really need to work up the courage to cross border down south haha

AAAHHH I just didn't like the look anymore, the only way I see to maintain geometry and have the stance that I want is a body lift, going to install this on the weekend. I will have a problem though, bumpers will have the 2 in gap, Not very concerned about front bumper, it will just hurry me up to go for an aftermarket/custom one. I wasn't planning on doing the rear so I may have to drill on the provided adapters (they are not for Rebels). It will also fix my pinch/weld rubbing issue. I have already cut and still rubs so, I guess I'm going this route. haha

Short version. 6 years ago they gave me 2 me years to live. Stage 4 cancer 7 tumors some how I beat it, but my body is not the same. I get Pneumonia at least once a year now.
I figured I had it again because I know the feeling but my reluctance to doctors is dangerously high. I had it again but I put it off so long sacks of fluid built around it.
Draining fluid didn't get very good results so they had to surgically remove them. I don't know if anyone here has had similar but the pain involved is insanely high.
8 more days of restrictions but until then I have a bunch of small stuff to do and catching up on here. Grateful VERY

Iced up and didn't feel like dealing with it

Took the one of the wife's Durango SRT392 also because of the condensation in it in the winter made me worry about moisture then being sucked into the intake/engine.

 

[Ready Go]

Got another stable mate for the Ram today..man, I hope this is the last (garages are full).

Here is comes...
2023 Last Call Dodge Challenger Shaker 392 R/T Scat Pack Widebody...wtf is Dodge thinking with these names!
10 hours of driving..twice through the Chicago Loop..F-ing torture..I was scared to death of someone hitting me.
If I recall correctly, @HemiDude will like this. Replaces the 2015 SRT392 I sold a few years back and have missed ever since.

I mean, that's why you empty them before they get full. Basically saying that you took it off because it worked, and you didn't want to deal with emptying it.
