Looks great. Just got a 2023 limited that I have to get in for tint ASAP. Do you have HUD? Wondering how that's works with the windshield tint. I had tint on my rebel windshield but no HUD.

It won’t have any effect on the HUD. My last & current Ram both had HUD & full windshield tint. BUT!!!! Make sure the tinter who does the windshield is experienced with Ram’s & uses soak ropes along the perimeter to keep from burning out modules & preventing the truck from starting.

Finally debadged the tailgate last night. Here’s a tip for removing the badges: spray WD40 and let it soak for a few minutes, then use a heat gun and the badges peeled off with no effort and the adhesive all peeled off in one single piece, no rubbing required at all. Then to get the residue off, spray WD40 and wipe with a microfiber. Use a clay mitt for any hardened glue that’s stuck. This worked so fast and easy compared to the fishing line technique!

Should there be any concern for what the WD40 might do to the truck clear coat?

My factory badges peeled right off without spraying them with anything. Left truck parked outside in sun for a couple hours. Of course this was less than a week after buying it. The stupid dealer badge they put on, I used an eraser wheel to remove residue after peeling badge
Wow that’s surprising they came off so easy. Well to other people with 3 year old trucks like mine my tip might help. Yikes I don’t like those eraser wheels, I’ve seen too many people damage the paint and need to correct the spot the badges were in.

Are there different concerns there between a 2020 and 2023? I didn't even consider that when I did my 2020 and now don't know if I was lucky or they knew to use those soak ropes. I'm going to be making an appointment in the next week.

No difference. When I had mine done, I made sure the shop knew, but also put a rag above the BCM to help protect the connectors before I drove to the tint shop

Googone works great as well. Just be careful removing the residue with a rag as you can put micro scratches in your paint. Use a good microfiber.

Pretty much any adhesive remover. I have a can of 3m adhesive remover, and have also used the citrus based Turtlewax adhesive remover with good results with both. Just be careful not to get onto any plastics.

Got my spring detailing done at my local detail shop. Man they do a GREAT job for a very reasonable price. Full exterior fallout removal, clay bar, reseal and then full detail on the interior with leather cleaned and conditioned on top of it. $250.
For a 4 year old truck, it looks like I just drove it out of the showroom.
Luv my Limited!
