What did you do to your Ram today???

[BowDown]

I've started buying Tekton brand off Amazon. Seems to be decent quality for the shade tree guy

I use their 250+lbs torque wrenches, work great

 

[djevox]

Funny you should mention Tekton...I just bought a deep socket set a week ago and really like them. We will see how long they last. I don't do a lot of automotive work, but when I do I want something that won't break.

I have a 3/4 and 1” drive tekton impact sets that I used on heavy equipment. They held up great.

Replaced my door lock knobs

I don't know why Ram thinks silver door lock knobs on a Night package make any sense. I had been searching for some black knobs, but I couldn't find specifically what I was looking for. Then I recalled that I had an assortment of plugs - problem solved

Also planning to move end of next year, but still things could change. we'll see
I was ready to roll but family said lets wait another year

Best wihes on the move if it comes to fruition. Maybe go the route of a mobil home. If it don't work out just move on.

I've been anchored in NYC by job and family. Job over but In laws 94 and 92, live a 1/2 mile away, 3 sons local, 2 are so local that they are in the next room. Sometimes I feel like running away.

If you do go the mobil home route keep me posted, maybe we can get a 2X package deal.

Yes, they just unscrew. One was a little snug, felt like it might snap, but it broke free fine.

Thanks, not my style tho. Was looking for a simple black version of the stock knobs, but I think I'm going to be much happier now with no knobs at all

Got my Limited 22's back from the refinishers, gloss black and shining like a mirror!!!!!!

That shop does excellent work, every rash, scrape and ding is gone, they look brand new.

With so many people leaving, and nobody in their right mind moving to NY, who is going to buy your overpriced houses??? What are you using for money to buy a new house elsewhere???

Crazy politicians for sure but there is money and demand in NYC real estate. The prices went higher with the rates going up and the supply low, house next door (flip) to where I grew up bid 60,000 over asking selling for 650K. The money and talent is still in NYC and the metro area. For how long is the question.
Today is the 47th anniversary of the City of NY laying off cops and firefighters. It bounced back strong and was doing well until mini mike bloombucks had term limits reworked for his 3rd term. That (and low voter turnout) put a cancer in the mayor's office.

So my phone won't pair with the truck. Successfully sends a code to the phone, phone receives it, I acknowledge the prompt on the truck screen, then is churns for a while and says that it failed to connect. However, I've been blaming my phone : it's an 8 yr old Samsung Galaxy S5, which is kind of ancient in cell phone standards. I guess I should try my wife's iphone 13 and if that fails too then I'll know it's a problem with the truck's side of the connection.

The screen said it was connected but nothing worked. Once they got it working, we left and did some shopping. The phone wouldn't work so we headed back to the dealer. For us, the phone had to be paired several times before it started to work correctly. It must be a common issue because the youngster knew exactly what to do.

Finally got my Oracle light bar installed.

Only problem I see is not being able to look to see if the truck is locked.

Installed the Borla touring cat back. Maybe I should’ve gone with the S-Type. At least I won’t be pissing off my neighbors too bad. It sounds really good, just would like a little bit more volume

Smoke a little!

LT295/60R20 Nitto Ridge Grapplers installed on Factory wheels to finally replace factory Falkens. Factory’s were at 4/32 or so with 31,000 miles on them. 2019 Laramie 4x4 ORG w/ Bilstein +1.5” on the front. No wheel spacers. Full clearance, no rub. Completely transformed the look of the truck. Initial tire impressions are great. In my opinion, improved the ride quality by firming it up. Minimal road noise for how aggressive they are. Hoping they wear nicely. Excuse the dirty truck in the photos. I’m very pleased so far. Only downside is…$2k set of tires. Not uncommon these days, though.

heres a new one...

NYPD veteran of 20 years gives department the finger as he retires

Thomas J. Gambardella, 41, of Staten Island, posted a photo on Facebook of himself flipping the bird at a memorial to fallen officers inside NYPD headquarters, while wearing a T-shirt reading &#822…

nypost.com

Ask a member of the NYPD how many years they have on the job and the answer is how many they have to go to retirement. Dumblasio destroyed NYC, Cuomo helped. Nothing done on retail theft (well a report is made) and the thieves know it. Local retail chain store had inventory loss of 8%.

Anyone have a recommendation for a truck stopper for the garage floor?

 

[HemiDude]

Only problem I see is not being able to look to see if the truck is locked.

I considered that, so far not a big deal. I'm in a drive-thru almost every morning, and it's been nice not having the knob right where I rest my arm. And I'm really liking not seeing that silver.
