What did you do to your Ram today???

[Waterfowler41]

This morning I filmed a walkthrough video of my Rebel stereo system upgrade. I review what speakers i use, where and how I ran my wiring, and a deep dive into my custom subwoofer box my son and I built.

Hope this helps some of you with your stereo builds!

Not a dang thing. Looked out front door and watch it baking in 102 degrees, lol...............

I started to remove badging and change to black. I also used GTechniq Wheel Armour today. I actually am not hating my wheels and I know it’ll be a year before I get new ones so taking care of them as much as possible.

I’ll get the rest of the black badges soon and will probably remove the off-road sticker too.

That's a beautiful blue Ram. I love that color. I just could get one that color.

Thanks. I guess I didn't know we had sequential turn signals. That wouldn't bother me either.

Still trying to determine how to properly wire the LED running board lights. Evidently the easiest & best way (if you have the OEM LED bed lights & LED taillights) is tap the red from the running board lights to the white+tan wire in the bundle of wires in each taillight. Then the black (ground) from the running board lights to a black wire in the same taillight wire bundle. I'm 1/2 there as I've found the white+tan BUT also 4 black wires. ;>/ So how to I complete the circuit w/o frying the electrical system? Any tips are much appreciated!

These Threads always seem to be fun and keep us all spending money so chime in and lets get the ball rolling....

Got the Falken Wildpeaks A/T3W installed today. (Only the P rated ones for the sake of my highway driving lol)
Just ordered some Meguiers tire shine gel for them too!

I hope you like them as much as many of us told you we do.

Two hours of work for 5 min of clean. Sigh

The truck looks great! Only two hours? My first time took at least four.

Already like them. Slight increase in stopping distance and maybe 1/1.5 mpg decrease in city driving. But I like them a lot otherwise. I'll try them out off road in the snowy mountains in November when it cools down here In Vegas.

Nice drop! Looks like I’m going to have to install the solenoid valve that I have at my shop before we hit 120 highs here.

I hear that. We were 115 here in the desert. What line do i plug

I took my grille and cheeks off to get them painted...

What year do you have. My 2020 ram 1500 on the "cheeks" i removed the 10 mm bolt behind the fender but i noticed 2 rivers holding the damn thing in so i was unable to remove the cheeks to take my grill off to paint

I have a 2019 but I don’t think what you have in the pic is attached to the cheeks. I think that is the black part showing under my headlights in this pic.

Decided to add a tool box

Would you mind taking some more pics of this? I'd love to see what the tool box looks like on the truck. I have a silver weather guard on my 04 ram and have been planning on painting it black and putting it on my 19!

 

[LoNeStAr]

Nothing today but hopefully tomorrow a trailer brake controller.
**Edit** just noticed they didn’t ship the screws and retaining clips/nuts...uggg

Anxious to hear how you like the Lomax- I’ve been looking at those also. Looks great on your truck!

I have been using lomax since I got the truck last year, it’s been great

Ill be damned. How hard did you have to pull to get the cheeks out . I was pulling on mine but the fear that those may being rivets i was afraid to pull it out. Thank you for the info and the pic

GO to this thread for info. U either clamp, or put in a valve line off of waterpump, says out to heater core.

In motion, on the road, you will probably get down to about 40 on max a/c recirc. QUOTE="z0n3, post: 310670, member: 14911"] Installed the HF fluid clamp today. Before I used to get 46 out of one vent, the others were all 54. I was able to get 43.9 consistently out of all of the vents. Truck...

So the side by the fender flare has to be pulled straight out towards the side and the part right by the headlight has to be pulled straight out too towards the front. And you have to pull hard. I even had to wiggle and pull as one of mine was kind of caught up
