What did you do to your Ram today???

One guy replaces halogen bulbs with LEDs for greater brightness. Then the next guy comes along and applies tinting to his lighting.

Amusing!

Installed the Du-Ha underseat, lockable storage bin: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0854126FK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1, because I don't have the crazy-good building skills as @Mclovinnnnn does: https://5thgenrams.com/community/threads/what-did-you-do-to-your-ram-today.1686/page-762#post-420006.

Also "installed" a bed mat, even tough the bed has a factory spray-in bedliner: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001V7LGYK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

Also drained my Mishimoto Oil Catch Can. Got ~ 3 ounces of slop, after ~ 2K miles.

Haha, tints came today. Like I said before, if the output is noticeably reduced, I will remove the tint. Not an expensive trial

Did my first oil change on my 2021 Sunday, at 1531 miles. The drain plug was easy, identical to my 2001 Dodge Dakota.

Now the oil filter? What. A. ****show! Thankfully I could get some large adjustable pliers *just* big enough to get some torque on the OEM filter. Space was at a premium. I *tried* using the "bag method" which I guess is to just hold a plastic bag over the filter while removing the last couple of threads. Disaster, nearly not helpful at all. Oil everywhere. Luckily the drain catch was underneath and it fell mostly down, onto all the parts below it...A couple few rags and I think I got that all cleaned up. Very awkward to pull out the dropped filter.

Next time I think I'll just use a plastic sheet over the parts below, and let it roll off the sheet into the catch pan as it drains, and wipe up any mess afterward, same as now. At least I know that it's clean, and who knows how some quick lube would leave it.

I was shocked to see that the ground clearance on the Ram is less than my Dakota. I can crawl under that, but this one didn't feel easy. Thankfully I bought some ramps from Harbor Freight that lift the front by 8 inches and it was comfortable.

Used Valvoline full synthetic. Walmart was out of the 5W20 Pennzoil full synth. Next time I'm going to use the generic labeled oil at my grocery store. It actually meets or exceeds the FCA MS-6395 spec, and it's lots cheaper.

Super excited to be getting the Mopar 2” lift installed tomorrow along with the Hellwig sway bar with end links, XD Monster 3 Black 20” wheels and Michelin Defender LTX tires ( stock size wheel and tire setup ). I’ll hopefully post the pics Wednesday once I pick it up from dealer .

I had to trim a few inches off the length and it's about 2" too narrow. But I used some 3M Extreme Tape to secure it pretty well so it should not slide too much, if any ... I'm hoping. But it was a really inexpensive pad, compared to Mopar's or other brands. Mainly wanted some add'l padding/shock absorption/cushioning/bed protections and a bit more anti-slip resistance.

Haha thanks man. And the bed mat is awesome! I have the bed rug but the same concept applies. It’s so nice being able to kneel down in the bed with some padding!

Traded it in ! I just couldn’t fall in love with the Maximum Steel Metallic. Plus, my new girl has a Cummins. I’m gonna miss the Hemi sound with the B2 Fab exhaust. I only had 3k miles on truck. Here’s the new girl:

Congrats.. best of luck with it!

I was going to ask you about the Atturos. I've got the same wheels and they have a noticeable hum to them compared to the nittos on my buddies truck. Good wheels, and good price, but I'll be getting nittos next time.

I hear them at some speeds but my radio is always on so not an issue lol. And honestly I couldn’t pass up the deal I got on them, nitto’s were almost $800 more!

Received the Swarfworks hidden winch mount today. Will be installing that in the next couple months. Also received my new hood badges that will be going on with my project for next year.

It’s not going to take long to get used to and love that sound of your Cummins and raw torque it has. I miss my 3500 and 6.7 all the time. Having a new 1500 Limited has helped me get past it but I still miss it!

Now THAT's exciting!
