What did you do to your Ram today???

..took it to a dealership for recalls: 75B-ABS Module flashed to 68548900AC, A1B-Turn signal lever/latch- Inspect Steering Column, Control Module.
The paper work does not state if anything was replaced for the turn signal:unsure: I wasn't having any issues with that and wouldn't have gone in, if it weren't for the ABS issue. Total time just over an hour. 1746223201439.png

Crawled around under the truck for a couple hours spraying cosmoline. What a mess, but I love that stuff. First time really under her and she is clean with next to no rust, a rare thing in NY. Also a first time using ramps, and might be my last. Was a pain in the butt.1000014515.jpg

Were they sliding on you?


Or just do what I do and use some cheap door mats with rubber underneath. I actually have a giant rug with a rubber bottom I roll out for some tasks to provide a bit of padding. I forget what size but it's large enough to cover the entire floor. I don't have concrete though... just dirt under my carport.
 
Replaced the hood switch hope the p152e goes away and my truck quits disabling as/as and randomly shutting off.

The old switch tested ok and it stopped for 2 days. I don't have time to diag an intermittent issue that there is a general TSB on.

So far it's fixed.
 
Ya, ramps scare me lol
I feel a lot better using ramps than jack stands. To much torque and uneven ground and BOOM jack slips and your SOL. I’ve always made sure to double and triple check jack points on all vehicles I’ve owned and always put my floor jack where I am working as a precaution and still feel uneasy about it. With the ramps I use I can be under the vehicle and some one grab something from inside the car and not flinch BUT on jack stands if a bird lands on the vehicle I’m rolling out 😂
 
For the ramps look at the under side and see/make sure the rubber friction pads are on the leading edge. Make as huge difference. At least all the pairs I used/ bought had the friction pads. The tire pushes down on the ramp, pushing the rubber pad into the concrete providing traction.
 
Opened the garage and looked at my truck. So grateful and love that thing! Just an incredible machine!

Yup they were brand new and have the rubber. As another member mentioned, if I place a floor matt underneath it should help with the issue. Putting it in 4 wheel also helped.
 
Where is here?
Would you be ok to share?

If it's in the US, I'm not likely to care. But I just might be willing to take a trip for water this clear.
likely somewhere in the eastern sierras along highway 395 lol
 
well i attempted the second time to remove the front end to access the leaky windshield wiper bottle and lost again.
couldn't remove the fender flare without ripping something and couldn't remove the painted pieces under the headlights.

also dropped a Milwaukee M12 ratcheting wrench in front of the radiator while i was trying to remove the 10mm from the top was the last straw.
time to enlist some technical support (aka, have the body man at the shop pull the front for me)
