That time of year --- I needed to recharge the AC. Cold as ice again.
When is this recommended? Can it make normal AC even cooler on a newer vehicle? Which product did you use

Can of A/C Pro (the tall one) was $25-ish at Advance Autoparts. Dunno about making it cooler than factory, but it definitely does the trick on this 8 year old.

Took out my armrest console, and installed a floor console with shifter, and installed my 8” alpine radio today. Had to trim a lot of plastic and trim some off the old 6”kenwood radio mounting brackets. It will do for now, ill fab up a nicer one later. Ya gotta be a damn computer dork just to figure out these radios. I had to download 3 different alpine apps!

You did a GREAT job! I am seriously considering doing this (minus the shifter).

Dropped it off at the dealer after getting CEL on my way home from work, P018C fuel pressure sensor. Pulled the code before taking it to the dealer. Got a rental Ram so now I’ll wait and see what they say. I just changed my oil on Saturday with RP 5w20 and Fram Ultra filter, thought I might have knocked something loose until I pulled the code. The service folks had lots of questions about my lift, wheels etc... better not give me a hard time about my mods, truck only has 19k on it.

I went to Top Gun in FWB and had a Magna Flow added to give it more of a growl.

First off -- welcome to the forum!

Now, let's see some pics and soundclips of that badboy.

Hoping it adds more bite than bark, but that's doubtful. :p



Dog-gone it! I was letting it dry before I cleaned it up. May just leave it, though. Nobody is going to see it. ;)



:D:D I've got nothing for this. My brain is already used up this morning.
Furr-getaboutit!

Threw an AEM filter in. Here are some pics just incase you want to see the difference. Similar to K&N just less mess (no oiling). fa83bc500e5427c0cd42a1e78dde8691.jpg

Also I keep forgetting to ask what’s the deal with the second air filter in the air box? It’s permanently mounted. Has anyone been removing them from the stock air box? f38107905577c0a342bcc80286aa9d0d.jpg

Bought the same filter for my 17 Rebel. Never seen that perma filter before. Looks like a large debris filter or something.

Drove mine on a 1075 mile round trip from Southern MD to Myrtle Beach SC and back. While there replaced my wife's lost wedding band, and put a deposit down on a house build in Conway SC. House should be ready to move into by Nov. of this year.

And averaged a little over 15 MPG. Great trip.:D

Took it back to the tint shop to replace drivers side rear door glass, strip of bubbles never went away. Guy who drove it into the shop, "what have you done to that thing, I just touched the gas and it took off"?
