    Spare Tire Crank/Holder System Check

    I check tire pressure on the spare when I check the tires, which is quite often. It is easy since the valve stem faces down. I lower the spare at least once a year and lube up the cable and anything else that can be lubed. When it is down, I treat the tire with Aerospace 303 Protectant to...

    1995 dodge ram 2500 5.9 diesel 12 valve

    I would suggest looking at the TDR site since that is strictly diesels. If you own Dodge/Ram diesel that site is a great informational tool. https://www.turbodieselregister.com/

    Shark fin antenna

    I had to replace mine, so I pulled the overhead console off to better reach the connectors. If yours is forward on the cab, and on the drivers side like mine is, you might get by with just removing the sun visor, the grab handle and molding on the A-pillar. Once that is off you can see how you...

    Battery(s) recommend for 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 5.9 diesel.

    I would recommend AGM batteries regardless of what brand. NAPA Platinum is made in the US by East Penn. Walmart even has a decent AGM battery with a good warranty. If money is no option, I would go with Odyssey battery.

    Mounting GMRS MXT275

    Not sure how much you have under any of your seats, or center console/seat area, but I have mounted radios like that in those locations. Instead of "hard" mounting, I have the industrial grade "hook & loop fastener stuff. It works extremely well, and makes an install pretty easy. I have...

    Gen 4 Aux switch control install

    Thank you. The clock is from Formotion Products. It is battery powered similar to a watch battery. They were originally designed for motorcycle use and came with a small bracket that attached to the back of the clock. I used a piece of heavy leather that I had ling around and friction fitted...

    Gen 4 Aux switch control install

    I used the open space in the console and installed a Spod switch panel. Newer versions of the Spod, along with other brands offer smaller electronic switch controllers which would take up less space.

    Fire Season Has Started Already

    Saw that on the news last night as well, along with a map of where the smoke is now. It seems like a lot of fires in Canada already. Being in Northern Idaho, we had a lot of smoke from BC last year. Being dry I think we might be in for another smokey season..

    Did the power rams have a hood ornament?

    My 85 came with one and it was a Royal SE trim.

    New Here... 2010 Ram 1500 Owner

    Welcome, and you just can't beat the looks of a short bed regular cab. I think a nice set of wheels and tires will really spruce up that truck, and maybe get rid of those running boards.. I have no doubt many here will find a way to spend your money on upgrades. ;)
