What did you do to your Ram today???

[jl13]

Same when my battery died, the theme was lost, but no biggie everything else was fine.

I can confirm the same thing only theme was lost, for some reason I was thinking maybe radio setting or even dash cluster but everything was there and not lost.

you just rubbing it in, its the 3rd time you mentioned your 5 year old oem battery. 😒😁

I’m proud and scared all at the same time! I’m jinxing myself for sure…😂

Those lithium jump boxes are great vs the old lead acid homeowner clunkers. You perhaps should watch YT reviews from non sponsored channels (I like Project Farm).

There's a lot of fakery on the amp numbers for the jump boxes so beware. Anything sub $50 retail is probably just for a 4 cylinder...

And anything over $150 is overpriced. The project farm test, the NOCO charger didn't beat out far cheaper options.

Installed Bulletpoint Solutions RubiGrid V2 mount. This product is the truth. And truly the strongest mount available. I went with the phone holder accessory first. Future addition will likely be the Auxbeam 6 gang module, as I am planning to install the SKT grille lights.

If anyone cares, I have a Gooloo 3000. Used once to help a lady in a 5.4 Ford van get started. About $100 give or take.

I have the Gooloo GT4000S. Very nice product, used it twice. One on standard car battery and once on a Ford 6.7 Diesel and it performs well!

Took it to the dealership for transmission issues. Found out the transmission needs replaced at 75k. Glad I got that extended warranty.

Just found out 3-4 weeks for transmission to arrive at dealer and no loaner vehicles available. Oof.

Well, if it's factory warranty work get a rental.

Got an alignment and started the claim. I didn't want too but truck isn't running straight still and has a very slight vibration on pedals and steering wheel at highway speeds. Comes and goes every second or so.

My Ram for the next 2 weeks at the shop (aka, customer's ram)
Guy copied my build, down to the exact same mounts and arms as well as battery terminal kit.

Since guy is not in a hurry I only spend an hour or so a day working on it.
Yesterday got @NH Overland Engine Bay Switch Pro Mount installed. Also got SDHQ terminal kit installed as well (forgot to take pics)
Today Installed ICS Fabrication dash mount. This is the best dash mount there is. No drilling required, but if you send the truck as hard as I do by accident in the desert at time, then you can drill and bolt it down with included hardware (yes, ICS included nuts and bolts and cut holes on the dash mount for you to further secure them, which I did) This, is the truth and the most secure mount there is.
I also drilled the top of the dash and mount to run Switch Pro controller wire with customer's permission. Harness goes through the firewall into engine bay and hid behind dash for a real invisible mounting experience.
To do so, I dropped the head unit. While I was at it, I installed the matt screen protector that I ordered by mistake. Instead of dealing with return and taking a trip to UPS to drop it off, I just gave it to him (least I can do for $1600 electrical labor lol)

I also ran 4 additional wires into the cab, for future addition if he wants to add something else later. That is standard procedure that I do for all customers' trucks when I do wiring. For my own I just run a 8 gauge power and ground harness into the cab and utilize a Blue Sea fuse block with ground.


Tomorrow will be finishing up the switch pro and start on the suspension or install Baja Designs.

Obdlink mx+ and bypass cable

$35 a day for rental lol. Those values haven't been amended since 1980. An E bike costs more than that per day.

Obdlink mx+ and bypass cable

What’s that for 🤔

 

[FLiPMaRC]

Obdlink mx+ and bypass cable

I've always been curious. What's the extra benefit of the Obdlink MX+ ? What are you getting for $140?

I spent $32 on Amazon for both the bypass cable and a bluetooth OBD2 reader. It works perfectly with AlfaOBD and Torque.

 

[jl13]

jscan or alfaobd. Haven't decided.
for now Speedo recalibration, I am sure I will mess with other things just haven't decided yet

I did see cheaper options on amazon but with mix reviews as far as working constantly, it seem like it was a hit or a miss,
had a couple hundred on my pocket I made from last weekend's soccer finals so easy come easy go

Backflip MX4 installed. No longer labeled with the Backflip brand any longer. Says RealTruck on them now. It is the MX4 as it folds to the cab, looks like they are just placing their name on them now. Was missing the connectors for the drains so waiting on them to send those out so the hoses can be installed.

can't go wrong with OBDlink.
that's what I use at the shop for all the Jeeps and Rams after bigger tires and change TPMS threshold on the Rams.

what i'm saying is, if it's good enough for shop use and help me make extra money then it's plenty enough for personal use!

 

[boogielander]

today installed Xpel PPF for my headlights and fog lights.
Did fogs first and messed up the passenger side slightly. Oh wells it will still do what it's supposed to do and if a gravel happen to hit the spot i messed up... so be it. I go buy lottery ticket LOL

Installed tires for the temporarily mine Rebel

Yeap. Gram Lights by Rays. JDM wheels on a Rebel.
Those should've been mine at cost but I snoozed on them (and didn't want to deal with selling my wheels). Now i'm kicking myself for not snagging a set of 6...


Also dropped the bumper while the truck was on the lift to install my old bumper mounted light brackets and ran wires for my old LP6s. Technically I could've done this on the ground but with the truck up in the air it's so much easier to work the bumper and run the harness.
Zip tied the wires for now. LP6 go on when I have time.

also the Fox 2.5 went on as well. Unfortunately my hands were too dirty to take pictures.

side note: in case anyone's wondering, you don't have to take out RCI front skid to drop the bumper. I dropped the RCI front skid when I did mine because I'm too fat to squeeze in to work the 18mm nuts holding the bumper while the truck was on the ground.
