What did you do to your Ram today???

Well I love donuts, so i am good with that! In fact I was just at Krispy Kream the other day....
oh man now you bring up Krispy Kream...
i miss my customer who always bring us a box. haven't seen him since i came back from Alaska.
 
They are only good when fresh, otherwise I won't eat them.

We have a locally owned donut shop that is my absolute favorite when I am craving donuts.

damn...I think i just gained 10lbs reading this thread :ROFLMAO:
Definitely much better places to get donuts than krusty Kreme. Most local or regional places that arent franchised are far batter.
 
Here's a crazy side story.....

My 2015 Challenger SRT392 had basically the same Alcantara interior...and I always thought from Day 1 that it smelled a little bit like donuts inside the car (for the 5+ years I had it). Yesterday, I open the rear hatch after it had sat overnight and guess what...I got hit with that slight donut smell!

Maybe it's me (my nose), but it's an extra reason to love the Alcantara! Super weird though🤔
5 years and you're still smelling the car-maker's donut fingers?

Your farts aren't strong enough man. Your diet needs some work.
 
Well, I took the truck in to the dealer to have the front right exam checked.
They said I caught it in time before it could bugger up the diff.
The new one is ordered and will have it replaced next week!

I'm guessing you mean CV axle. Mine is getting replaced next Tuesday. Took two weeks for new one to come in after being ordered

Were you getting the 'clacking' on full lock?
 
No. I was u see the truck a week ago and notice a bunch rust on the frame above the slip yoke, as a lot on the slip yoke, which I've seen as warning signs in drive shafts and such. Usually to much play developed in the split es.
There is also more up and down play in the slip joint, than on the drivers side.
 
This is what I noticed today, piñon bearing or something worse, what am I in for.Front and rear differential

Not the rust, the wet spots

New seals nothing serious personally I would keep an eye on it. If it get to the point it forms a class 2 leak I would consider service. Class 1 leak what you have now Class 2 a droplet has formed Class 3 it's actively dripping fluid to create a wet spot on the ground or dripping constantly.

learn something new today: there are classes of leaks.

that's actually a great way to describe, categorize and compare different levels of leaks. i should put that in a chart to help me communicate the seriousness of leaks with my customers.
 
Dropped the Banks Pedal Monster in today and also got a new fob reprogrammed so now my tailgate release works.

Pedal Monster is pretty neat. I like that it takes out some of that sloppy lag, running it in City #7 or 8. It's funny how undriveable you can actually make the truck in those higher settings.
