If you do remove it, report back on any resulting noise or vibration. I rode in my veterinarian's 5th Gen. He knocked the valance off on a rough farm road. Without it, there was unreal road noise on the highway! We also felt vibration in the floor. The valance was replaced this week, and...

They are very easily kinked. You will need a nylon panel removal tool to help you leverage them up and free them from the clip. The clips are designed to be one way, so you may or may not be successful with reuse. Start at the windshield and progress toward the rear. You'll see every post...

I don't have a P/N for the clip, but if you have a crew cab I have the P/N for the full trim piece. I had to replace both sides as part of repairing massive hail damage. You will laugh and feel manly not even being two sips into a cold one for the time it takes to pull the old piece and pop on...

Rustoleum has its place, but not on the diff IMO. It's no more durable than what the diff is coated with from FCA's supplier. I live in PA where road salt and brine is measure in dosing of POUNDS per square inch, so I'm a little biased maybe. However, what I found is that Eastwood's Rust...

That's a full bumper refinish for sure. That scratch would be $225-250 itself from the guy outside of Philly that's been doing spot repairs for 30 years. If it's rough already, I agree, touching up yourself is probably good. Do so in several thin coats using a paper match or toothpick to...

Almost thought it was a chrome bumper until you said paint! This can be successfully touched up to be unnoticeable from about 5 feet. Your challenge will be finding that pro who can do it! Most body shops will only do a traditional refinish of the who bumper. You need to find that shop that...

The pedal is just an input, but the mistaken assumption is that it is in a linear scale, which it is not. I don't have one on my 5th Gen, but I run one on my 4th Gen 3500 dually with the Cummins/AISIN combo. Those with this configuration know full well the problem with lag at takeoff...

No paint loss, then don't fret it. Will be easy fixed with PDR. Go to the dealer and discuss it with the Service Manager. I also have to ask are you sure the sheet metal is deformed? I can tell you that sometimes the lay down with the automated applicators can leave an optical illusion of...

Clearly, the retainer has been pulled free if not broken. Certain carwashes peel them up and break the retainer. It's a dirt cheap part that takes just a few minutes to R&R, but I'm sure warranty will cover it if you play dumb about carwashes.

Respectfully, you are buying a mass-produced automobile, even if you ordered it just the way you want. It's just another build sheet traveling down the line. You will find absolutely no mass-produced vehicle without defects - none. German, Korean, American or otherwise. The ding at your...

To make custom plastic brackets, you need look no further than a sheet of Kydex. Available in colors and in OEM like textures, and various thicknesses. Formed using heat.

They are fine engineering, no doubt! I know that area well.

Roll into your local CAT scale. Let the scale master know what you're doing, and your re-weighs will be discounted. It's about the only way to set up a WDH with good transfer on the new RAM 1500s. Personally, I feel every WDH setup needs to be proven out on a scale.

Almost what I was looking for... Any ability to customize, or maybe make different configurations? I really need one that can hold a scientific calculator in place, a 25-foot tape measure, and pens/pencils.

Fair point, and everyone has a different tolerance for risk. Me personally, I have bought numerous, 1 to 2 year-old vehicles, and enjoyed to fact I wasn't clipped by a new vehicle's instantaneous depreciation. However, I'm also not the average person in that I have significant knowledge of...

Quite involved way to go with this when you can just tap the CHMSL under dash or in the sill. For an LED cap light, you can direct tap but include a fuse. For an incandescent, you might need a fast acting relay because of load. FWIW, RAMs are almost entirely wired with Yazaki connectors. Your...

The Reese is also an excellent system. It's shortcoming for many is that it requires the trailer A-frame to be drilled for installation. For flexibility of resale, especially with travel trailers, an Equal-i-zer requires no drilling. Hensley and ProPride are a totally different league, and...

Any show up with a commercial title? Rental car companies flip out trucks rapidly. For instance, one major company has a 15K mile threshold. Further, I can cite many from camping forums who bought too much trailer for their half ton and traded up to a heavier truck. Some people also just...

Beyond being a badass, talented fabricator, mechanic, and fearless, Jessi was a warm, funny, genuine and one of the kindest human beings I have ever known. 15 years of friendship that began when she took a short course I was instructing, and she was the hardest worker who refused to settle for...

Add me to the list of what I'm calling a reset situation. This behavior never happened prior to my recent trip to my servicing dealer to have the third recall reprogramming done. I had this done during a week of consistent hot, sunny, humid weather, and I have the log from my home weather...
