The wire is fine. I'd check power at the pin as it should be hot all the time. If you don't have power there check where you spliced it. If you have power there then it's something wrong with either your splicing or your ground. If no power there you have to start chasing back to the front of...
Can't remember what the color was, but if you're looking at the truck from the bumper, you need the wire running into pin 4 if you want to be able to turn the lights on whenever. You don't need to use the ground wire if you have a bolt connected to a non-painted surface. I have the same kit, no...
Same reason we buy truck tires well over our axle ratings. 6 ply rated at 1820 is 3640 per axle that's rated at 3500. Not much wiggle room if you're loading your trailer heavy.
I prefer the matte black for a more off road look, as I think color matched gives a more higher trim look. If it's between the two you posted and not matte black, I'd say go color matched. I think the Diamond Pearl will look like you took them off another truck and said "Eh, close enough."
Check your back window and third brake light. That's where water intrusion happens the most and can cause all kinds of issues. I added an extra gasket to my third brake light and recently just replaced it after a few years.
The corded DeWalt 1/2" has 345 ft-lbs, which is well over spec for the lugs. I rotate my tires every 5k miles on multiple vehicles and have never broken a stud, which means the shop was using much more. Or, like @HSKR R/T said, they used cheap lugs and broke the lugs.
Too much ugga dugga when they installed the wheels sounds like. I use my corded DeWalt 1/2" impact on lugs and have never had an issue, so they must have gone way overboard.
Assuming that's unloaded hitch weight (11% trailer weight, seems right) yeah you'll be pushing it. Assumptions, but 200 pounds for you, 50 for the dog, 100 for the WDH, 900 when the trailer is loaded, you're down to 79 pounds of payload left.
The ONLY times I've had errors is when I tried to change the mode while in drive. I usually leave it on Eco as it's more for fuel economy than drag racing, and it's worked well. I've had it throw lights on the dash, accelerator jump up, etc, but ONLY when I tried changing the mode while in drive...
I washed mine for the first time in at least 8 months a couple weeks ago. Sits outside permanently without cover. Can't see a single scratch, and you can only see a few tiny chips up front where rocks have hit it. You could definitely tell it was dirty, but my wife drove her brand new black...
Same. I hang my keys on the wall within 20ft of my truck every single day. The keys are actually visible from the truck through a house window. My wife leaves her key in her brand new car that's parked in the garage, no issues there either.
I have absolutely lucked out. My Titan went through liquid batteries every 1-1.5 years until I went fully sealed. My Ram's battery is the OEM from Nov 2019 when they built it. It's definitely on its last legs, because if it sits for more than a day it's sluggish to start, but I'm running this...
Yeah it's perfectly fine if done correctly. Using the Curt harness was just really simple, and allowed me to wire everything up in the garage instead of under the truck.
You're trying to add more reverse lights? Buy a curt harness so you don't chop your factory harness up and splice into the reverse light on that Amazon.com.
Then add whatever lights you want. I have some cheap ones off Amazon that I wired quick connects to, so when they die I just swap them out...
