I feel like I've seen you do this numerous times over the past few yrs lol. Is that accurate? It obviously impacts me zero but I'm like "dang, giving some more love to that corvette! This is like the 100th time." Lol

Nah, this is a rebuild of the 434 I put in the car in 2015, the process of waiting on parts has just made it take almost a year to get the engine done. I started in Marh of 2023 and I just now got the engine back.

Mine died at the perfect time today. I went in to get an oil change and it died in the oil bay. They had to boost it to get me going.

I'm to go back in next week to get it replaced under warranty. 😎

Well to be fair, my appointment next week is for "Diagnostics to support a warranty replacement". I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to dodge their responsibility.

They definitely can't write 'ICI' on the docs though. Everybody saw it happen. Lol

Are you going to boost it every time you go somewhere or just not shut it off till then? 😂
 
Don’t worry little 3.21 truck. You’re safe from the snow in here

Well found out the body shop didn't REALLY screrw up as I had hoped. The skin is attached to the inner structure per adhesive so the BEST i could do is add some killmatt inside the door skin...to the ENTIRE skin that i could reach, this dramatically changed the empty can sound AND helped with the oil-can affect when pushing on it BUT also shows ME that the skin was NOT "tensioned" during assembly. The ambient temp fault is STILL fault after new sensor... argh. On to actual testing to see what/how it works. I would assume sensor gets a 5v input and sends back...5>V so something is up there just havent pursued it yet.
 
IMG_8683.jpeg Went a head and bought the 35s. Rubbed so much had to trim a bit of the wheel well liner. But drives great. Looks great and fitment is perfect don’t know if y’all can see how the fronts fitment is but I have 2 inch spacers for the back and 1.5 for the front. The back tires I saw stuck in a little bit more than the front so that’s why I decided to do 2 for the back and 1.5 front the front

Not to derail the topic but what fender flares are those on your Ram?
 
Just getting ready to get my front bumper replaced due to the accident.
I want to eventually put a light bar in the lower grille. I understand that on my 19’ Limited that this grille has a closed backing mounted to it. I heard that it can be changed out with an open grille for this area that is open straight through and has sensor mounts.
I need one with sensors mounts.

Here is what somebody else advised me to get from another forum .
Lower Grille - Mopar (68334531AD)

Anyone actually know if this part number is for sure the open lower grille and would fit?
