What did you do to your Ram today???

Added some rough country fender flares still waiting on some more weather stripping to finish them off on the other side.

Did a little mileage test today. Got a video below with some RPM data for those who may be curious about 3.21s, but overall got a little over 20 mpg hand calculated. Trip odometer was a couple of MPG off. Had a strong headwind. Otherwise, I think I could have gotten better.


Had a couple of folks ask about city driving and Interstate Driving so I did a video for each today. I continue to be pleasantly surprised with the mileage of this truck.


 
Done. 3.5 inch SST lift, Fuel Rims, 35" Nitto Grapplers, OEM auto steps , Flowmaster super 50, Bora 1" wheel spacers, Stryker 955 10 Meter w/ 102" whip antenna.

Looks sharp! What fender flares? (Can you put your details in signature?)
 
I knocked out my BAK X4 revolver and my HDX running boards.

What offset are your wheels?
 
Picked her up from the dealer yesterday. Pleased with the computer MPG on trip home.21287 Last night in the dark I added the LOMAX Tonneau cover (30 min alone), Weather Tech mid guards (1 hr alone), and installed the brackets for the GoRhino D6 Dominator steps, at that point it was time for sleep. Will finish this afternoon and update with a picture.
 
Very easy actually:

1. remove the 4 screws that attach the high mounted brake/cargo light to the cab
2. unplug the wiring harness that attaches to the light assembly
3. unplug the center brake bulb and remove the bulb
4. attach the ground wire from the strobe module to the black wire of the brake bulb socket
5. cut the white wire that powers the brake bulb and splice in the two red wires from the strobe module (connector wire to INPUT side of strobe module and socket wire to OUTPUT side of strobe module)
6. Install the LED bulb into the brake light socket
7. reconnect the truck wiring harness to the light assembly and insert back into the cab
8. reinstall the 4 screws to securely mount it
9. have someone get in the cab and press the brake pedal while you watch. You should see 4 rapid flashes...then 4 slower flashes and then it remains on steady as long as the brake pedal is depressed...done! See the video on their website for what it will look like once installed.

*** you MUST replace your incandescent brake light bulb with an LED bulb for this to work correctly. I bought the following off Amazon and very happy. Bought 4 so I can use 3 to replace the 2 cargo lights and the 1 brake light with 1 to spare:


I soldered and shrink wrapped each of my connections but you can use butt connectors as well. Took about 30 minutes from start to finish. Works great and I am very happy with the result. I strongly suggest you buy from SuperBrightLEDs as the reviews were excellent and you get a 3-year warranty. $4.95 plus shipping...can't beat that!!!

Instead of cutting wiring harness, I found a bulb the plugs right and and does a quick 3 flash then solid, three colors to choose from also....
here is the amazon link :

I saw them as well but I liked the way the Superbrightled.com device works far better and, being an engineer, I have everything I need to install it professionally. For a novice just wanting a flashing bulb, this is a good solution but not as robust IMPO. Thanks for sharing!
