    Aftermarket Bed Light Options?

    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...

    Aftermarket Bed Light Options?

    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...

    Tire thread 99999999999999999

    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.

    Tire thread 99999999999999999

    I run D range on my tandem axle trailer. It has 3500# axles as well.

    Fender flares - body color or accent color

    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."

    Turning off the headlights

    Fairly certain there is an AlfaOBD setting for Canadian or not to determine DRL's being an option.

    Finally joining the wet floor crew...

    I doubt just sealing it will work if it's cracked. They replaced my whole window middle of last year. Yours cracked in exactly the same spot as mine.

    Door ajar light on when it rains

    Not sure on that one. If it's just the latch and not the handle or anything that recognizes the key I would assume no.

    Door ajar light on when it rains

    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.

    Seized lug nuts

    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.

    Seized lug nuts

    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.

    Another towing thread

    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.

    Another towing thread

    You'll be at or above your payload with the trailer loaded. Guaranteed.

    Pedal commander vs Pedal max vs Banks vs...

    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...

    Bright White vs Tricoat Ivory White: is there a big difference?

    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...

    Battery died again

    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.

    Battery died again

    Fine by me, it's 5.5 years and 70k miles old. It deserves some rest.

    Battery died again

    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...

    LED Reverse light

    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.

    LED Reverse light

    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...
