Had to readjust the pedals and mirrors lol.

The wife drove with the camper hooked up for the first time. 2 1/2 hour drive bunch of tight back roads and some decent traffic on the highway. Her first time towing anything and its a 29ft camper that damn near maxes out the trucks limits. She did great, way better than expected.

Weekend in the catskills, had a blast.

Had a Manifold leak the other day. Bolt broke. Had to take it to the dealership and they replaced all bolts on the passenger side manifold. PIA!

She cleans up nice. Did a waxing yesterday and added some trim moisturizer to the sport hood and b-pillars...then it rained:

Install some running boards. Finished just in time before the storm. Windows tint on Thursday and husky mud flaps seem to be lost in shipping. It needs a little lift now. Wife said can you calm down. You haven’t even made the first truck payment

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

The Mopar number is 5YK46TX7AC. Be careful because there are aftermarket versions that are not true Mopar. I got mine from an Amazon seller (Desert Mopar Parts) with the real Mopar version. Here's a link:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08D211K7C/

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 ordered one of these from my dealership for my passenger door because my wife likes using the door for her drinks. It came in today and it's a good thing I tried it before I left...yep, they ordered the driver side. 😡 They have the right one coming in tomorrow. It looks like I'll be ordering my parts online from now on. The price on the My Mopar app was discounted 24.5%. Even with shipping, I could have saved about $5. My dealer showed the price as $25.95 and sold it to me for $21.95 which is MSRP. I think it's wrong for a dealer to charge above MSRP for parts. I'll discuss this with them if I decide to give them a second chance.

I also noticed that they didn't grease the upper control arm ball joints when they installed my Readylift UCA's. Good thing I caught that early.

I got my Bonus Drive check today. 13 days from the day I filled out the application.

This is an old Nooksack Indian secret. They used to wash their horses and brush them down with beeswax when they wanted it to rain. You just have the modern take on it.
That hasn't worked up here in the Pacific Northwet. I've hand washed my truck twice and it's still as dry as a popcorn fart. 🤬

Huh? The Nooksack tribe is from Washington. They must have let the secret out and angered the rain gods...

You should have gone to Mark Dodge. Aaron could have beaten that price by $5. And then you could have driven that cup holder home. Heck, he might have even met you at the airport with it.

Decided to take a chance on this console piece. I'm happy with it and glad I listened to the reviews and upgraded the double sided tape beforehand. Used a book and some Monster to hold it down for a while :)
