What did you do to your Ram today???

This is the benefit of doing things yourself, the dealer never would have shared pics or the differences between the old and new manifolds.

The mechanic just bolts on the new one. Differences are subtle, and not noticed, unless looked for.

I use wireless charging on my Pixel 6 very night, and was using it on my Pixel 4 before that. with the newer Android OS, they have adaptive charging when charging overnight. So it charges at a reduced wattage with the goal of having battery topped off about 1 hour before the set alarm, or whatever you have set as your bedtime schedule. Mine starts at 10:30pm, so anytime the phone is placed on charger after 10:30, the adaptive charging starts. I don't have an alarm set for weekends so my bedtime schedule ends at 7am.

Can't speak for IOS

I've had the Pixel XL, P2, P3XL, P4XL, P5, P6, and now currently on P7. The phone that was killed by wireless charging was an LG before I switched to Pixels. I never used wireless charging on any of my Pixels because I always use the magnetic car mounts that interfere with the wireless charging anyway, and I'm fine with plugging in at night.

I’d give pulling the console and unplugging it a go. I did the 6 seat conversion in my truck a couple months ago and the console came out surprisingly easy. I have no idea if the truck would start throwing error codes at you though… but you could always just plug it back in.

Yeah imma try it this weekend but I think that I’ve already turned off the feature with JScan should prevent any code throwage. But we’ll see. Haha

Have a great weekend!

Agree...I tackle a lot of things on my truck but since this was a warranty job and heard nightmares of getting the sheared bolts out of the block (from a buddy who is a tech that has done many of these), decided to let them handle it.

RE: Wireless charging

My first experience with wireless charging was maybe 8+ years ago when it first came out. It killed the battery on my phone in less than a year because of the heat it generates on the phone. This was when phone manufacturers started sealing the phones and you can't buy and replace batteries. I haven't used wireless charging since then, even if my phone has it. I don't know how far the tech has advanced since then.

I charge my old S9 almost exclusively using wireless (ironically unless I'm in the truck) and haven't seen any issues. It also sports an Otterbox Commuter case that would certainly contribute to less efficient charging and/or retaining excess heat.

We have 3 of these that fast charge our Galaxy phones and Watch 5's and they've been great. I can't charge my Watch 5 Pro on the flat chargers due to the magnetic band shape.

I was gonna ask the same thing

Haha good eye. Was short 2 sheets for the previous project.

Made a pass on the drag strip tonight after it slowed down. Since I work there, don't get to run as much as I used to. 9.56@72mph. Best pass since I did the lift, tires, and front bumper.

What do you run in the 1/4 mile?

 

[HSKR R/T]

What do you run in the 1/4 mile?

Only time I've ran full 1/4 mile was in 95+ degree temps in Oklahoma. And the was stock tires a d suspension, and just running the Pulsar. ran a best of 15.17@90mphz and that run was a 9.75 1/8 mile.

 

[boogielander]

Mine handled great! But I did see some dash warnings of "air suspension disable" a few times while going through it. The cars and bikes are (mostly) faster than the trucks are, obviously. This guy, how ever was not! Just drive in your comfort level and go slow the first time. It can get scary in you're on the inside of a curve and a bike is coming towards you and carves hard. Their tires are in their lane, but their heads are in yours. Just something to keep in mind!

There was a crash between a car and a bike just in front of me when I was on my way back. Right in front of one of the camera spots, too so it was all captured. Car went over the line and skid in front of the bike. The biker was only reported to have had a broken arm.

You’ve got a lot going on there!
I prefer a cleaner look personally. I’d hardwire your radar detector in the mirror power. The other cords, you could run behind your radio bezel down to the power points below. There’s 2 screws under the rubber mat in the top shelf of the bezel. Once removed and a simple quick tug using the shelf as a grab and the bezel pops off. First time is scary but done once, you see how easy it actually is. I watched a YouTube on it.
I used the Course Motorsports magnetic charger mount that allowed my phone to drop down out of view of the windshield.
I like to be able to see what I’m gonna hit. LOL. It also mounts behind the radio bezel.
Here‘s some examples of my set up of my phone, radar detector and dash cam.

But many sure do mistake it for the Hemi tick.

When you really pay attention to it, it’s really a totally different sound. An air leak caused by broken manifold bolts or cracked manifold is more like a “Pffft-Pffft-Pffft” than a metal on metal sound like ”Tink-Tink-Tink”.
I’ll leave my verbal sound description up to your imagination.

Agreed, the radar detector is gone they are pretty useless these days, even the decent escort I have with laser.

Does the magnetic phone mount you have wirelessly charge?
Just checked and ordered the magsafe charger version, and a non charging version for the right for my passenger princess.

Does the magnetic phone mount you have wirelessly charge?

Yes. Quite efficiently as well. However, for the mount charge, I ran the power down to the 110v charging block in the lower consul. I needed the USB power points for my wireless Apple CarPlay and my music on a USB stick. The charger came with a USB C cable but had a problem when the standard USB power points are used at the same time. So, I just re-routed that to the charging block below.
I use the Carlinkit 2.0 Apple Wireless CarPlay as my phone wirelessly links to the radio automatically and the radio will read my texts to me and also allow me to voice reply.
I still use my radar detector as it still picks up KA band but the last 2 tickets I got were Laser and unless he hits your detector to pick it up, you’re done.
I did find a stealth material that’s virtually clear that you can paint on the 3 points they use for a target, your headlights, grill and license plate. It doesn’t totally mask you but gives you some extra time to see them and hopefully slow down.
The only other option is a radar jammer system and they are mucho $$$ and also illegal in most if not all places.
