What did you do to your Ram today???

Awesome. Maybe they re designed them a little. It was 2013 when I used them.

Drove it for the first time in a week. Everything worked as it should in the 10* freeze.

Really wish my daily had a heated steering wheel!

Drilled a 2" hole into the front bumper under-plastic to mount the NOCO outlet.

It's a 2:1 3-prong outlet. One leg went to my block heater and the other is routed across the firewall (with an extension cord, naturally) to where I have my NOCO 2D genie set up as a battery minder.

Currently testing both.

It's set up so I can easily unplug the battery minder. According to my truck's info display, my battery is at 12.2 volts at the moment. I've got it plugged in, so I'll see if the battery charge comes up. I've never had battery issues, but if it's cold enough to warrant a block heater, it can't hurt to toss a bit of charge into the battery...

Links to the kit?

Sounds similar to what we have on our firetrucks. I dont think it powers a block heater, but those batteries are always on charge, for obvious reasons. I'd love to have something similar, as I don't have remote start on my truck.

I was looking to do what you have done until the dealership quoted $500+ for block heater install. It was $95 if ordered with truck in Oct 2018.

Definitely tedious (I will admit to how many sets I went through )…but they add alot of pop to the night edition emblems

I usually don't have the patience for things like this, but I was determined and took my time and with the help of some picks, q-tips, and a soft thin blunt tool my wife uses when doing here Cricut crap, surprisingly I was able to successfully apply them only once (I have the extra sets in the toolbox). Believe it or not, the dot in the "5.7" was the most difficult. My eyes aren't as good as they once were (50yo) and that little jewel is tiny.

Sure.

Here's the plug: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GCP2-18-Inch-Integrated-Extension/dp/B07TLNQ328/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid=1Y4R9PYHAGDCQ&keywords=noco+plug&qid=1642023984&s=automotive&sprefix=noco+plug,automotive,62&sr=1-2-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzMUFQM1A3Q0s0NUtGJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNjMzMDk4MklNUVFCRjNFR0ZWMiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwOTY1NTU1SldRNFNGMzZPOFU4JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Here's the NOCO charger: https://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GENIUS2D-Direct-Mount-Temperature-Compensation/dp/B07W3QSMF9/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=noco+genius+2d&qid=1642023944&s=automotive&sprefix=noco+genie+2d,automotive,62&sr=1-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOExJSk8zOUxLWFBXJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMzUzNzg3M0E1SVdEQzY4QlczNSZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMTkwOTI3Q0VGWEw3WEpXTFA0JndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfYXRmJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

Sorry for the crazy long URLs.

I'll toss some pix up later if there's interest. Pretty simple.

I did mod the plug, of course. It comes with self-tapping screws. Since they're all that would resist the unplugging (and, yes, we all know that the truck will back out at least once with someone forgetting to unplug it), I swapped the screws out for stainless steel bolts with nylon locknuts and washers on the back side.

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 haven't even looked for the filter yet, that sucks to hear! I love my Maxima, I don't even have to jack the car up. shove my hand up the side, unscrew the filter and I can juuust reach the drain plug. It's perfect.

You’re not wrong lol. I had tweezers and toothpicks out there…I did my tailgate emblem as well - that was even worse
