I know the classics were 18 ga, and this didn't look much different. Regardless, there are numerous reasons to run new wire.
1) Thicker jacket for better noise rejection.
2) Ability to run ofc vs oem cca (It's generally accepted that 18ga ofc performs similar to cca 16ga).
3) Separation from...
Been going back and forth trying to come up with a design that flows with the truck interior. Not 100% final but I think I'm leaning towards this? but an also considering these.
I've been so slammed, I haven't even finished the stereo install I'm working on lol. Truck hasn't left the garage since I bought it a couple months ago. I'll definitely have an update when I catch up.
Fantastic install and write - up. Wish I would have run across this before starting my build. Always nice to familiarize yourself with layout after a break from Rams for a couple years. Would have saved me some time and aggravation in some places lol.
I'm still playing with pod ideas but I'm thinking I'm leaning towards this design. I feel this mimics the factory grille in the upper door the best and matches angles in the rest of the truck. This main part will be glassed and then will have a surround trim ring that I'll paint silver to match...
Thanks for chiming in.
We normally never get that hot, and the one summer we are high 90's is the month I decide to install it. Low hundreds in the garage. I think I sweat off 5 lbs lol.
Due to having the pano roof, I really didn't see much improvement that could be made from doing the very...
That took way longer than it should have. Finished wiring conductor and made filler panel for tray. Need to paint and install. I centered switch in panel but now my OCD is going crazy as it isn't centered with cup holder lol.
Overall tire diameter is almost bang on between the different tire combos (17/20/22), so effective gearing will remain the same. Reciprocating mass between a 17 and 22 is a whole different story however.
My Mustang would literally dyno about 25 hp different, depending on if I was running the...
Interior mostly buttoned back up. Last pieces left are tweeter pods and sub/amp enclosure. I was leaning ported, but even with the seat lift I'm not going to have enough airspace with the amps getting mounted under the seat as well. I have enough to spare with sealed, so that's the direction it...
There are some pretty cheap aftermarket options if you don't get crazy. It's when you get into custom leather/lighting/etc. that things get pricey. The factory enclosure sucks.
Not a lot to show. I've been out of town on business a bit lately, so finally getting back to trying to finish this up. Anyone looking at adding the LMI seat lift in the future; you will have to modify the back wall as the t slots apparently have been changed from previous years. I drilled a new...
Honestly, there is more than one answer. Easy answer, higher rpms burn more fuel. Deeper answer, higher rpms create more heat and strain on the motor and could shorten life span depending on how often it occurs.
There are always trade offs to everything. Semis could pull grades faster than...
