    Omron H7EC

    It's a digital counter for sure but why will continue to be a mystery. From a data collection standpoint, it's an odd metric to capture. https://automation.omron.com/en/us/products/family/H7EC

    Pics of your truck somewhere most people will never be able to take a pic of theirs

    My 2008 Mega Cab out on a service trip to the 33's in Zama, Alberta. The "33's" are a series of well heads out in the middle of a lake/swamp. Just weeks earlier I had to fly in on a chopper. This day I was able to drive right up to the stairs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/QU6Trxp2SKL8sySb6

    Cool to see another Overlander in the same camp.

    Are the Can-Can girls performing tonight? You get dinner and a show! I know you don't drink but check out the Sourdough Saloon and ask about the Sourtoe ****tail. I'm not sure what's more shocking, how many toes they get donated in a year, or how many they lose...and how they lose them...

    Built in navigation doesn't find any addresses

    Same here, I'm off subscription and mine still works. But, I am also pretty sure that the online search has always failed but offline works just fine.

    Maybe a pressure washer to knock some of that mud off before you park for the night. It's one thing to park a muddy vehicle and walk away but when it's your home for the night, you know you're gonna contact that mud over and over again.

    I found the truck...now I need some advice...

    I took the front wheel off and the plastic wheel liner and had all the access I needed. I replaced mine with the latest design from Mopar that does have some minor changes in the areas that usually crack so hopefully your 2024 model comes with the updated units. The jury is still out on the new...

    I found the truck...now I need some advice...

    If you have ever replaced your spark plugs, shocks or brakes, then you have demonstrated more than enough mechanical ability to replace a cracked manifold. Broken studs is going to be more complicated and may require more than your basic tools.

    Sad times, 2450 layoffs coming to the Warren plant.

    IIRC, the Warren plant was to run until one of the new plants was up and running and then shutdown and retooled for new models like the reg cab shortbed in the new body style. But, what was planned and what actually happens are two different things...

    Rebel has Delrin ower rear shock bushing !?!

    Ha, yeah, you kinda mentioned them in your first post... Can you link a pic to the ones you selected and maybe elaborate on what kind of issues you are having? Edit: I made the assumption you are talking about Firestone helper bags but realize now that you may doing an actual air suspension...

    Exhaust manifold recall

    The post you quoted was from Aug of 2022...there's a slightly different manifold available now but I don't believe there ever was an actual recall issued.

    Rebel has Delrin ower rear shock bushing !?!

    Bilstein is a lower end shock? Those are built by Bilstein specifically for Mopar and unfortunately not available anywhere else. Mopar must have spec'ed a different material than standard for the bushings. I just purchased a set for the front and they did not come with any hardware or dampeners...

    We spent 3 days in Dawson before riding back to Tok so I can't remember if they were on the way or if we saw them on one of our day excursions out of Dawson. IIRC, one was on the hwy between Chicken and Dawson and the other was just outside Dawson. I'll see if I can't get you some location...

    I'd love to see pics of Kennecott mine. It's history is detailed on the TV Series "Edge of Alaska". That is some beautiful country up there. Are you going to brave the "Top of the World" highway from Tok to Dawson City? We did the "Trek over the top" on snowmobiles back in 2005. That's over 200...

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    I found this illustration detailing the Land Rover Air Suspension. It's not exactly the same as our RAMs but it's close enough to give you an idea of what the internals look like.

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    The issue is that the shock body slides up into the assembly and forms the seal to keep the air inside. It's not just a hollow cavity with ample clearance that the shock just feeds through. So if the shock body is even fractionally larger, it simply won't fit. Too narrow and it wouldn't ever...

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    Put 400 miles on the truck this morning and it is back to riding like a luxury vehicle again. It's like you don't know how worn out your running shoes are until you slip into a new pair. :) It didn't solve all my vibration issues but it's worlds better so I think part of it is the road itself...

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    That clip certainly sees some load but I think it may be distributed using the central aluminum shell pictured below. The lower tapered section sits and seals against the circlip but the top of the shock body also inserts into a formed section in the upper part of that same aluminum shell to...

    Replacement shock absorbers on a 4-corner air-suspension Ram.

    Install went pretty smooth this morning. I started a little before 6am and was wrapped up around 11am, and that included me breaking for about an hour to make some breakfast and tend to the wife. I noticed a bit more road noise than usual during the test drive but otherwise it was smooth and...
