    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    I caulked the outside mostly. I did press a small amount of caulk into the actual cracks themselves on the inside. But that was unnecessary given the bead I laid down on the exterior. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    The Infinitys have solved the treble problem for me. Your mileage may vary, but I'm happy with things now. 3 FaitalPros + 2 Infinitys up front are working well with the CDT 6x9s. Thanks again!

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    No, replacing the rear glass. The frame is cracked (common problem), and it can't be replaced separate from the glass. So, my dealer quoted $1,400 to replace the glass. I just bought a tube of Permatex and caulked it.

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    A bit hard to describe. If you're inside the truck looking at the glass, the stock 2019 frame is just flat all the way across on the top edge. The replacements (and I assume newer ones) have what looks like a thick rib molded horizontally across the top. Like a brace that was cast into the part...

    Oops, I broke it

    Yeah those speakers are no bueno. I’ll see if that zip tie solution might work for me. Stay tuned. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    I’m not an expert, but I’ve seen a few photos of newer Rams with a reinforced window frame. I don’t know if that means “fixed” or just “less prone to fail”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    1) I’m not in a hurry at all. 2) I’m grateful you even offered. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replaced speakers and lost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)???

    Disagree. ANC is likely tuned to match exact specs of stock units. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Yeah, but who cares. I know how to remove a bead of caulk and now I get to pocket that $1,400. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    Update to the update. She’s water-tight now! My under $20 fix sure beats the $1,400 my dealership wanted! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oops, I broke it

    I never did find a replacement. Did 3D printing turn out to be an option? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    3rd brake light leak VS. cracked frame

    UPDATE: After dinner tonight I took a new tube of Permatex 81173 black silicon and ran a thick bead all along the top of the rear window. There’s a bit of a channel between the window and the truck body and I filled that gap completely. Then, just to be sure, I ran a bead around the 3rd brake...

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    UPDATE: I have replaced all four 6x9s with the CDT Audio CL-69S. I also replaced the five front 3.5” speakers (one in each front door and the three on the dash) with the FaitalPRO 3FE22. I also replaced broken door clips in the panels where needed. Additionally, I bought a JL Audio...

    Replaced speakers and lost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)???

    MikeyHo808 I wonder if you got the wrong ANC bypass. There is one for WITH stock amp/sub system and one WITHOUT. I bought the wrong one at first. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    My sub is plugged in and I don’t notice a difference with ANC disengaged. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replaced speakers and lost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)???

    My Red Wolf (same as Metra) harnesses were backwards to the polarity of the speakers (both stock and CDTs). I had to de-pin the harnesses and flip ‘em around. I did the AA battery trick to determine polarity for all the stock speakers and replacements. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    H/K audio upgrade - VAST Improvment

    Thank you for posting all of this great info! I am following your recommendations so far in the CDTs and Faitals. Question: what sort of connector did you use for the Faitals? Did you solder bare wires? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replaced speakers and lost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)???

    Good call! I ordered all new clips, so when I put it back together I don’t want to take it apart again. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Replaced speakers and lost Active Noise Cancellation (ANC)???

    I took your post to heart and tested the polarity of the two stock speakers I already replaced. (See below picture.) Then I tore down and rebuilt the Red Wolf harnesses I have yet to install to match that polarity. When I take the front door panels off again I will swap the harnesses I already...
