What did you do to your Ram today???

[MontFla]

I plugged my tire after picking up a nail somewhere

Filled up with gas

Yesterday I installed a silver finish AJT shift knob.

 

[djevox]

Added JBL dash corner speakers. They are 2ohm, which is rare to find for a 3.5” speaker. What’s funny is they’re labeled as “JBL by Harmann”. I didn’t have the required metra 72-7902 connectors and they were out of stock everywhere I checked (at the time of ordering the speakers and ebay was charging 4x the price) so I used modified metra 72-7901 connectors. Essentially, I cut off the plastic around the male spade terminals and held it with wire tape until supply on the 72-7902 comes up.




Modified harness and taped up until I get new connectors:

JBL and Infinity are owned by Harman.

Added Katskins leather heated cooled seats to my 2020 BigHorn what a difference this makes put these in a couple months ago. Awesome add-on. Had autoaction do the work out of central jersey $3100 out the door.

These look fantastic!!

Did my 2nd oil change and tire rotation. Changed cabin air filter. That oil filter location continues to infuriate me. I really wish they would just do a remote oil line and filter somewhere in the engine bay. There's acres of room there.

I wonder if this will fit: https://www.jegs.com/i/Mopar+Access...DarnaJPtLC3J6eqm8ZiQQe_8sPaRdhcxoCZE4QAvD_BwE

Actually yesterday, but it was dark by the time they finished.

Got my Motofab 3" front/2" rear leveling kit installed. This still left almost 1.5" of rake, which I feel is just right for my towing needs. I then headed to Discount tire and had my new Level 8 Slingshot 20x9 +10 offset wheels and Yokohama Geolandar A/T G015 tires installed. I went with the 295/65/r20 size and had a little bit of rubbing in the front driver side wheel well. A few minutes of work and the rubbing is gone, even at full lock.

Hi LPSouth,

Looking Sharp! How is the ride? I'm looking at all my options and this is one of them.

Thanks!

There's probably something out there that could be adapted to fit. It would just be nice if it was there factory. I was changing my oil in my dad's garage the same time he was doing his subaru. His is an upside down filter on a base in the engine bay. Crack the filter loose, drain the pan and filter, remove, replace, done. I come out from under the ram looking like I was just on an oil rig explosion.

Haha, I hated doing the filter on the hemi. I was going to buy that relocation and try it out, but I traded the truck in for an Eco diesel.

I’m still trying to get it right after 7 oil changes, 1 gallon ziploc bag seems to be the best.
My guess is New body design with “older” engine from previous gen caused the annoying filter location.
The relocation kits I’ve found were not 5th gen specific either, wish there was a factory one.

With the miles I'm putting on, and the camper pulling I do, I'd love to find a eco in the same exact setup I have now. It appears though that they aren't that common. I don't really need or want to step up trim levels to get one, but I might have to when the time comes.

Well, did you notice anything with the 1 ohm difference?

Jbl and infinity are both Harmon and the speakers are dang near identical.

I don't think I'm changing anything else. I've replace all 9 speakers and added a sub. It sound exactly how I wanted it to.

Not really, other than they’re a tiny bit less bright than the infinities at the same equalizer settings. I think I like them better than the infinity speakers. I put one JBL on the driver side, left the stock dash corner on the passenger side, and swiped side to side as a music was playing. It’s amazing how crappy the stock speakers sound compared to these.

The ride is surprisingly better than I had expected, as is the noise. I was expecting a noticeably harsher ride and a lot of noise from the tires, but there is very little difference. The one thing I have noticed is that body roll is exaggerated. I will be installing a Hellwig sway bar this week, so hopefully that will help.

It will, you will think you bought a new truck. It's a totally different feel.

 

[WReckeR]

Yep...24" as of yesterday.

Looks like a Christmas card!

 

[mhart88]

What was your reason to change?

Nothing, other than wanting an upgrade. The 2019 had 50k miles on it.

 

[Jrogowski83]

Decided (last night) to install the window visors (EGR) and the stone/bug deflector (Weathertech). The window deflectors were a breeze and only took about 20 minutes to install. The bug deflector was a PITA. After popping out the rivets in the seal/hood, you align the deflector under the gasket and "try" to screw in new push pins with a screw. I would like to see those that actually got the screw to tighten....lol

I have the same bug deflector, the screw anchors need pushed in firmly and the screws hold well

Installed the drivers side Zone Off-road UCA today after work. Will get passenger side tomorrow. Also photo of clearance with stock Built to Serve wheel, 275/65/20 tire, and 3/4" Bora spacer
