    Rear end clunk

    I saw damage on my splines as well when I de-greased and re-greased. I took a file to mine to remove the burs, but the damage was very odd, why would there be a random nick or dent in at the crown of the spline at a mid point?! It's like the parts fell off an assembly bench at the factory and...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Thats funny, I now have a leak on mine as well. Two strikes for me: the ceramic coating I had applied has failed and the headers leak now. I will check the welds When I remove them to get them recoated. I hate having to do something twice because of someone else‘s lack of caring.

    any one antenna fin leak?

    I’m going to perform this sealant project this weekend. I sealed my cracked rear window frame and eliminated 80% of the leaks. I suspect the fin and light are the remaining moisture portals.

    Borla Touring Cat-Back exhaust (#140758) and Borla Performance Resonator (#60667)

    After a year or so of watching hundreds of exhaust videos, I finally pulled the trigger and got the Borla Touring system. I was very pleased with how nicely it fit on the truck and how easy it easy it was to install. The 5in tips suit the truck perfectly. The first time I started the truck I was...

    Exhaust Manifold Leak

    Did the invoice list a part number for the replacement manifold? If the part number ends in AA that means they still haven’t updated the design.

    Rear window leak

    Well, I purchased a 10oz tube of top shelf GE silicone and thinned it out with mineral spirits so that it flowed. Permatex sells a similar product that you can purchase in a tube for sealing leaky windshields. To prep the area for application, I used compressed air to blow out dust, then used a...

    Rear window leak

    I noticed a headliner stain(again) after having my brake light seal replaced last year. Hairline cracked frame this time. Dealer says they replace about one rear window a day on the rams and there were two(including my truck) that morning. After telling me that my mopar warranty wouldn’t cover...

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    No. It was not locked as a whole. Only the driveline clunk, which I diagnosed and had to fix on my own. It was simply a lack of grease on the spline in the two piece drive shaft. My truck was in the shop for weeks for that issue and I solved it with a $14 tube of Ford driveshaft lube and two...

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    I wish I could explain that logic. SA showed me a screen on his computer that said glass is not covered.

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    Yeah it’s like if for years a woman cheats on me and steals from me and finally find my limits I leave her and you’re implying I’m not being logical(?!) I’m just sounding a warning to stay away from this disaster of a woman.

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    I took my truck to the dealer today and the recognized the issue right away with the leaking window frame. My SA said he replaces about 1 rear window a day on the rams and there happened to be another one in front of me in line for the same issue. No recall at this time. Here's the cherry...

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    I wanted to avoid LL as well but there is only so much lemonade a person can make until you have to say “enough”. We’ll see how the dealer responds on Monday. I just ordered a borla cat-back system too 😔. Can’t say that I am comfortable investing any more money in this truck.

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    Well, I set up a garden hose and let it run at 1/3 flow aimed at the top passenger side corner for about 1 minute. The water flowed across the top of the entire window frame and not long after I found that I have seeping water at both corners of the window. So disappointing but not surprising.

    Who has not had issues with 3rd brake light leaking?

    I had my CHML replaced a year or so ago and the dealer cleaned the stained headliner(hydrogen peroxode apparently). I thought I was in the clear until last night. When I pulled out my son‘s car seat and found and drip stain down the perforations in the leather. I looked up and saw that both...

    Rear Fog Lamps

    Has anyone made any progress on this one? I love rear fog lights and have considered doing this export-option mod as well. My current plan is to run some diode dynamics flush mount lights for auxiliary reverse(white) and red for running lights. I‘d prefer not to run under-mount reverse lights...

    Unhappy with these fog lights

    I have a feeling that I too will be adding another set down the line, perhaps some driving beam pattern pods. I really like how inexpensive it is to change out the lenses on the DD lights. If DD can make retrofit boards for the halo lights to do color shifting, it would be interesting to know if...

    Unhappy with these fog lights

    I contacted DD today asking about wiring/plugs for factory LED equipped trucks. They said it looks like their kit will work for us too. I’m going to order a set of SS3 max in clear SAE fog ASAP. We also need to get the halogen fog bracket along with the halogen bezel. It’s only about $40 in...

    Softopper Exoskeleton(Adarac)

    Thanks, I’m happy with the result. I had to drill a 9/16 hole IIRC for the center wires that protrude out the back. The light is affixed with two small screws, no tape. If i were to do it again, I would remove the cross bar and drill the extruded aluminum in a drill press. It turned out just...

    Softopper Exoskeleton(Adarac)

    I added a third brake light to my adarac to compensate for the softopper covering the Cab-mounted CHMSL I purchased mine from Jeff Bezos but to repent of my patronage of evilcorp, I bought from an American brand ,Tecniq, instead of a Chinese knockoff. I also used a brake light signal...
