What did you do to your Ram today???

[jimothy]

That is a neat idea! .. I'd do the same but inside my RAM BOX .. do you have a list of part numbers or links where you obtained them (aka Amazon)?

If you’re going to install in the Rambox, you may just want to use an AC-to-12 volt adapter since you’ve got a 115V outlet in there already. Nonetheless, these are some of the parts I used:

I got the braided sleeving in two sizes: 1/4 and 3/8, and two colors: red and black.

Plus a bunch of wire (6, 12, and 18 gauge), battery lugs, split wire loom, heat shrink, wire cutters (I didn’t have anything adequate for 6 gauge), and crimp connectors. Oh and this nifty but expensive crimper, which can do anything from 22 gauge to 4 gauge:

This ended up being a pricey project, because I had to buy tools and supplies I didn’t have on hand.

Thanks, Yeah, I'm using one now in the meantime but would like to do the install like yours since I'm creating my own dividers and floor "shelves".

After driving it back from Louisiana to NC Monday/Tuesday, the first thing I did was put Rain-X on the windshield! I think we were in rain for 12 hours!

Also cleaned the bugs off the front.

Will the Hellwig work on a 1500 Limited with air suspension?

I believe it’s the Hellwig 7709 for your truck. I have a 19’ Limited with air suspension. Mine is going on today!

*Finally* finished installing my Katzkin leather. Between summer heat, going on vacation, and breaking my arm, this project took a while to finish but it’s finally done and I’m happy with the outcome. Now the heat just needs to shrink the leather and get rid of the wrinkles!

Looks great!

I have zero idea why ram didn’t just include them. Seriously what the hell are the door holes for without the cup holders.

Wait, neither of yours' came with them? They were installed on mine from the factory

This comes standard in the limiteds I believe.

I'd have to look up what Sales Code I had since mine is a Laramie

Took out the rear lowering springs and put the stock springs back in. I don't know wtf I was thinking doing a reverse level. It looked more sleek but the reduced functionality was a deal breaker. Live and learn

What issues did you have? I know others have thought about doing it including me. What springs did you use?

After 2 months I finally had the time, and ambition, to hand wash it. Dried and spiffed up with a little of Leno's "ceramic" spray. I seriously question the level of ceramic in it. Seems more like a glorified detailer. But it was cheap, and applied easily. It'l have to do for now. 50% chance of rain today, so I drove my beater to work. Can't take any risks now ha.

I KNEW there were like minded folks on here! I drive the beater (2001 Dodge Dakota) in rain or snow.

On the way to the airport yesterday though, the front left caliper was sticking and made LOTS of smoke on those pads. Too far and too little time to double back for the Ram. Guess I'll be doing a brake job when I get back from Utah...

 

[WReckeR]

Got a new rear window installed in my 3 week old Limited, hopefully this will fix the leak problem..........

Wow, that was a problem with the 2019s. I can't believe they haven't fixed it since the 5th Gens debuted

 

[WReckeR]

Today I installed the rare and highly coveted passenger door cup holder. Look on my cup holder, ye Mighty, and despair!

PS: This is the next to last item we talked about adding to my sweetie's new Ram during our 480-mile trip back home after we bought it. The last item will be the under seat storage. I am almost there.

I don't like the reach, and I use the holders in the console instead. Not sure what the fuss has been about.

Indeed. Put on mine, works famously!

I used the Maxtrac springs. There weren't any problems but I've been using it as a truck just about every weekend. Once you get a couple hundred lbs in the bed it starts to get nose high. Then throw in some buddies and you're close to the bump stops.

Also been going off the beaten path quite a bit and was very close to dragging my rear a few times on some dips

Hades received a New Hampshire Oil Undercoating yesterday. Very happy with the result and cheap $ for rust inhibitor. https://nhoilundercoating.com/nh-oil-undercoating/

~3 1/2 hours, $250.00

Installed my new Hellwig Sway Bar. definitely a thicker, heavier bar than stock.

I started with the middle setting ,but I might move it around after a couple of weeks just to see if I notice any difference.

Took about 20 minutes including taking time to take pictures.

I've only driven around my neighborhood so I can't comment on how much of a change there really is, but even around corners at normal speeds I can tell there's not as much body roll.

Won't get to really test it out until tomorrow. Looking forward to it though!

Just wanted to give some feedback on the Hellwig.

Freaking- Amazing!

Took a nice 2 hour drive into the mountains and it's night and day difference.

Why in the hell doesn't Ram build them with a sway bar of this quality?

Anyone on the fence, stop hesitating!

it's worth every strinking penny!

Amazon. Set a price alert. Some people have been getting massive discounts.

Installed and hardwired my Blackvue DR750X-2ch-plus dash cam. Between the posts on this forum and YouTube videos, it was a pretty simple job. If you have average mechanical ability, this is an easy DIY install. The longest part for me was the trial and error bending the rear bracket to try and get a tight fit, if you have a crew cab I probably wouldn't bother with it as the cable was just long enough to reach the center of my rear window on the quad cab. I'm not 100% happy with the rear camera bracket, I'll either get used to it or try something else.
