    12V power outlet in the bed

    I am looking to add a 12V accessory socket in the bed just to the left of the tailgate at the rear drivers side corner. Where is the best place to tap into the harness for 12V? I anticipate a max of 15 amps draw from this socket.

    Long haul Towing preparation

    Just wanted to update this thread as to what I did and what were my results. I changed the transmission fluid by dropping the pan and changing the trans cooler. I did not power flush, or run the engine to flush out every last ounce of fluid. I did let the fluid drain overnight. While I was in...

    Wind shuttering noise on top of front doors-2008 ram.

    I ran about 200 miles on NJ highways last night. The "Polar Vortex" wind was fierce. My problem is definitely the seal in the upper frame of the door. I found myself grabbing the upper part of the window frame and pulling it in by hand to stop the noise. As long as I was pulling in with a...

    Trans Temp via ODBII?

    I am looking to monitor trans temps in a all digital fashion from something like a tablet connected to an ODBII Bluetooth sensor. Is this possible? I tried it via the free version of the torque app and I could not find the trans temp listed as a data item. Is this available as data in an 07...

    Long haul Towing preparation

    Also thinking about changing the internal filters both pan and spin on when I change the fluid. Might change the pan to one with a drain plug too while I am at it for easier future fluid changes. Anyone here doing stuff like this? Any brands to use or stay away from?

    Yes Tangents can be cool but only if they are on topic and people are interested in them. What we are doing now is just meaningless banter for the sake of increasing both my post count and the sites. Pretty soon people will get turned off and not bother reading the thread more because of...
