Howdy everyone!

I have a 2004 Ram 1500 Rumble Bee. She is number 1546 and a first swarm, and yes, a true Bee. I've had her since 2005 and have enjoyed every seccond of her! My dad has a 2010 Sport (FYI, my truck leaves him at the starting line haha). I have a whole lit of mods that I've done so far and will put it up in my sig here in a little bit. Also, I have some good pics but there at home right now so I'll get that up hopefully tonight. Any info I left out let me know!

I do have an issue right now though. Nobody has been able to tell me what could be causing it yet. My third tail lit is running on what I think is too much power. I tried to install a LED third but it just keeps burning up fuses. My buddy has the same exact light on his 04 and it works fine. My stock third has some bubbling along the top of where the bulb sits along a chrome strip. Any ideas here, feel free to chime in. Bugging the heck outta me.

Welcome to the forum. :)

Haven't heard of that 3rd brake issue before. We'll try our best to help you figure it out. Is the bubbling like where it melted something?

Welcome!

I have a 3rd gen Hemi w/sport pkg (not to be confused with the Hemi Sport). Just saw my first Rumble Bee yesterday as a matter of fact while driving to a work site... beautiful truck.

Thanks for the welcoming committee!

The bubbling is where it is melting and it's on the stock housing. The stock won't burn any fuses, but as soon as I put in the aftermarket, it blows #24.
