What did you do to your Ram today???

[Woody284]

I added front tow hooks and with the split rubber grommets you do not have to remove the entire 9.5” bolt like the instructions and online videos show. Just loosen it about an inch and slide it on.

Also installed Bilstein 5100 rear shocks and Cargomaxx 35% increase springs. This added 1” -1 1/4 lift to the rear.


Up next is the Bilstein adjustable coils and RC UCAs in the front.

Log into your Ram app and if your truck is loaded, it will be in digital glovebox.

Its hard for to believe I've been here over a year and some how I NEVER ran across that. I probably did and just didn't give it much thought at the time.
Switching from a life of BMW's and Fords mainly is really a culture shock. We all know how a car runs but its that twist of a little different that changes everything.
I appreciate the help! Thank you

after you find out what gear ratio the build sheet says.
you will then have to find out what the truck actually has.

Its not the preferred one but it has an e-locker. Does an e locker require the Mopar modifier? I bought some a while back but it doesn't look like I need it.

I got both sides cleaned up today and a new gasket. I have the outside painted and in the oven. I'll spray it again in the morning and back in the oven
Tomorrow evening it should be dry enough to install again. Its all coming together but still have a ton to do...

oh yeah, dealer goes by the book. 2-5k miles a year towing is not THAT much so you should be ok. I'd do it at 80k though but it's up to you.

for us, regardless of what the book says, we do all fluid at 60k, and if frequent towing/ heavily offroading is involved, then we do earlier.
The 392s that roll through the shop were all done at 30k simply because they wheel a lot.

To be honest, i don't think doing it early is a bad thing. Sure, it may be pissing money away as the fluid are rated for X amount of miles, and doing it early means fluids are within spec and not degraded, but i feel like it's just cheap insurance: like ~$400 for pan and fluids and labor (well, free labor for me) is much cheaper than replacing trans IF it fails. it's like paying insurance: you're just spending money that you're not gonna get back until IF something happens. But if nothing ever happens then... you're just pissing money away as required by law lol.

I just did coolant which is in my experience an 80-100K sort of fluid so I guess ATF is gonna happen as well. It is expensive but less so than a transmission
