What did you do to your Ram today???

And to that end, since I’ll have to become one of these people who owns a grease gun again, any recommendations of manual vs the electric ones? I was lookin at the ridged one since I have a bunch of those 18v tools already. Last time I had one (for atvs) was before these electric ones were really available, and it wasn’t great.

I don’t see the purpose of going with an electric grease gun with as little as it takes to grease the upper control arms/ endlinks. If it was a huge amount I could understand 3-4 squirts nope.

What’s a grease gun?

LOL
I don’t like anything that involves crawling around on the ground.
Dealer does my stuff.

Technically doesn’t require crawling around lol most can be down by kneeling. Not something I would bother paying a dealer to do.

I wouldn't trust the dealer to grease aftermarket parts.

If you have suspension parts that require greasing, why would you not own one? Especially aftermarket parts the dealer isn't going to touch.

I've gone through an entire tube of grease this year already. I have a 1966 D100 that requires grease on almost every pivot point in suspension. Repacked the bearings on it, and my son's 1998 Silverado, that also has several greasable joints in suspension

I had to read back to figure out you guys are greasing aftermarket parts. Thought I was missing some grease points all these years.

Seen so many posts of guys with garage’s full of new parts ready to go on their ordered truck that didn’t even have a delivery date yet. We’re a different breed no doubt.

I have an attic above my garage full of stock parts with less than 100 miles on them.

guilty as charged lol

i ordered all parts a month after I ordered the truck with no ETA no scheduled build date. I only did it because I had planned to drive through Dalton Highway in Alaska this year and I needed the truck to be 100% ready for it, and being in the industry I have knew how long it takes for things to get delivered lol.
Basically I was going through SEMA crunch without going to SEMA lol

i believe there are grease points on the driveshaft but I may be wrong. I haven't paid any attention to the driveshaft yet lol

is this becoming a sunglasses thread?
Back on track......

backing on track...
sat in my hydro blue today watching the new videos for Ceramic Gray Rebel and TRX and kicking myself in the back end for not waiting...

Had the tailgate and software update recalls done today.

Also intended to have a finicky seatbelt latch replaced but they had to order it in. One more dealership trip coming up I guess.

 

[lapoolboy]

I'm just the opposite. I looked up Maui Jim. If they made a cool looking pair, I might try them.

I have the Ohai....love them

Pretty much all bearings on new vehicles are sealed and not serviceable. If you ever replace the joints, I would put greasable ones in though

I wasn't kicking myself, but sure wish I had that color on my '22.

Added the Truxistm divider to my truck - very pleased

If you can wait for a sale, I've seen these for around $60

You're right, the first 1635 pages have all been on topic until now.

After getting passenger exhaust manifold replaced under warranty (tick is gone!), I've decided to pull the trigger on Mopar power running boards. Local dealer that did warranty repairs had one in stock, plus price was better then online ($1,500). It took me few hours to install it and activate using AlfaOBD. I like the look of it and my 2.y.o. daugher can climb inside the truck on her own now. Uconnect integration was a killer feature for me to pick them over AMP Research ones.

nice reminder, I keep forgetting to get one for my dad's cherokee - any cheap one will do for jba uca's - any recommendations
