What did you do to your Ram today???

[Mr. Grumpy]

Sonnie confirmed in this thread this harness works with the HK system. My truck is coming in a few weeks I will be trying it myself.

ANC Delete Harness...

For those of you looking to get rid of Active Noise Cancellation this harness is as easy as it gets. Plugged right into the amp on my Alpine system... everything works just as before... (besides ANC obviously) It works by disconnecting the microphones to the ANC...

Thx for the info. Is weird that the Crutchfield and the LLJ customs website states that it doesn’t work with the HK system.

Installed the Hellwig 7709 Rear Sway Bar. Took about 30 minutes--mainly because I couldn't find my 8mm socket to remove the end-link bolts. So out came the 8mm box wrench and an adjustable crescent--what a PITA (but all my own fault).
I set it on the middle setting, to give it a trial run this week. Will pick up a replacement 8mm socket in case I decide to move it...

Added cam locks to my Bakflip MX4. made plate to hold the cylinder from turning, drilled through existing aluminum channel, still adjusting, need touch up on the paint, etc.

I want to be able to access the bed and inner tailgate, if the tailgate were to become stuck as others have mentioned on this forum. Also could be UN-accessible with a dead battery. I had key locks on my last vehicle, so I am ok with using keys instead of the cable access.

Got my Ram all shined up. Used McKee's 37 rinseless wash with Sio2. Clay barred the whole truck. Used Chem Guys Black Light gloss and sealer. Then topped it off with Chem Guys Butter Wet wax. I like how it turned out.

Installed Hellwig Sway Bar. Wow, what an incredible difference! Super happy. Best upgrade I’ve done, and cheap and easy too

Looks nice. but I would not use any wax related product. I recommend you stay away from waxes as they do not last long. Go with a product like 303 Graphene Spray or Turtle Wax Graphene. You will get a year out of that coating and you'll be much happier in the long run.

I'll have to pick some up. Thanks for the advice.

I wish I could do this to my truck. Apparently no one makes an ANC bypass for the HK system.

Yet

You don't want to use a socket to turn the end links. You want to hold that part still and turn the nut. Otherwise you can damage the boot and reduce life of the end links.

Oh boy what did I do today with it

went to the gas station for the morning drink

went home drove thru the grass, finally got my female shepherd to figure out she can jump in the bed of the truck and help with some pre scratching of the bed to help ease the pain for the folks at line x in two weeks and then the day started

running boards added
Bed lights added
Remove the 8.4 inch stereo and replaced with the 12inch it pays to have family that works for dodge
Added the trailer brake

then lost interest and took the mustang out for a ride in the smokies

We need some pictures of the add ons!

I’ve used the turtle wax graphene paste and graphene spray and they’re both great. But CG butter wet wax is great too. It won’t have the same hydrophobic properties but in my opinion it creates an amazing shine!

Well just installed a new tonneau cover and bedrug on my Multifunction today; everything came out nice. Waiting on the Bedrug to be installed permanently cause I need 3M adhesive promoter to help sick to the spray-in bed liner.

So it looks like you did what is next on my list. You took the 'normal' BedRug, cut the tailgate section off then trimmed it to fit the MFT? Did you sew any kind of edging onto the MFT sections or just left the raw edge?

I've always wondered about these, do they actually help (IRL) in deflecting bugs away from the windshield? As a Floridian, sometimes just a short drive and and I'll have to wipe down the windshield again to properly clean.

Is it only my truck that the volume sucks over 25? like 25-38 there is no difference in volume at all. and it isnt loud.

looking to upgrade all doors to 6x9 and then do a sub box. But i did hte 6x9 all doors in a n old suv and it sounded great without subs even, using alpine type s components off a alpine single din pushing 45watts from the reciver.

No, but its not that there is no difference in volume it is just that the head unit (in my truck at least) clips the signal after 26 volume. I checked every output when setting the gains on my LC7i and amps with an o-scope to confirm. Simply upgrading the 6x9's and adding a four channel amp will be ok if your not in search of that deep hard hitting bass. I often wonder if the PAC AMP Pro cleans up the radio signal and allows you to turn it up all the way which would justify spending close to $300.

Yes, they do work and work well.

Tried CG BWW after wash + clay bar yesterday and agree. Very nice product with added shine/depth to the paint after application.

What'd that cost? I like having mine open but it's so hot and blinding in the summer

Did you get the ceramic coated tint.
