    Engine Break In.

    I did my break in by following the old rules. I changed engine oil after 600 miles or 1000 km. Now my engine runs great, and gas mileage is good. I didn't follow that on my previous truck, and it ended up running great but gas mileage sucked. Right now my V8 Hemi gives me better gas mileage than...

    ABS Sheet for Engine Bay Skid Plate

    I read a thread here regarding skid plate for engine bay. Someone mentioned that he wanted to make a plate out of ABS sheet, exactly the same idea I had. I also don't want to remove the air dam. I don't need anything heavy duty but something that can stop tall weeds and branches getting into the...

    Now My Ram Is Fully Protected!

    So today I finally managed to install the transmission skid plate. I had to drill two holes to install two M10 rivnuts on a cross member first. Learned from Youtube. Now my Ram is fully protected and ready for backcountry!

    Serious question. For those buying new, are you waiting for a leak or just going ahead and caulking everything?

    I just bought my '23 new Big Horn two months ago. After having read all those posts regarding leaking third brake light and rear window, I started paying attention to that area and underneath the rear seats. Given the fact that my truck had been sitting outdoor on dealership's lot for over a...

    Amazon tow hooks

    I made a little mod for you...."All MOPAR parts are made in China" will be more accurate.

    Amazon tow hooks

    I got my tow hooks from Amazon too. There're things I got are OEM like the skid plates. I'm not a serious offroader, but that pair of tow hooks should be enough to pull someone out of snow or mud. I don't expect to hang my truck upside down with the tow hooks anyway.

    So far what I've done on my new 23' Big Horn....

    Ooops, sorry I didn't read your sig carefully! Sorry I can't help much. But you can get on McKinney Chrysler website. They will provide the part numbers you need. But I will hold on to those bolts and nuts until you receive your plate and cross members. But no matter what you will need a bunch...

    So far what I've done on my new 23' Big Horn....

    I don't think so. Even look at the price of 26 gallon plate, it's a lot cheaper than 33 gallon plate.

    So far what I've done on my new 23' Big Horn....

    Yes I will. So far I can confirm you will need one cross member only, the plate and the bracket. I'm talking about my 33 gallon tank. But the other parts are all over the place on mopar's diagram. They are not accurate. Once I successfully installed the plate, I will post a detailed breakdown...

    So far what I've done on my new 23' Big Horn....

    It's a no name brand 'cargomaster'. I purposely stayed away from steel racks. This one is aluminum. It's not rated as heavy duty as steel racks, but for my purposes it's plenty. BTW I'm in Canada, and the rack was sold in Canadian Tire for $200 CDN. You do need to drill to get it installed.
