Exactly as the title states! What did you to or with your second gen ram today?
Saw a similar thread in the 4th gen section, and a similar on different forums and thought heck why don't we have one? :D Please follow forum rules when posting in this thread so it doesn't get to wild in here :) Pics of said what you did today welcome as well!

Today I started it for the first time in a few days and returned it to its usual sitting spot. Had to move it to the street when our firewood for winter showed up :D Let it idle for awhile after to charge my battery, it was getting a little low!

What did YOU do today?

Fixed the leaky check valve on the trans. cooler line that took my truck offline last friday.

Then used it to go get parts for the 76.

The quick disconnect for the radiator cooler? It takes the same tool as you would use for a fuel line. Found that out when I had to get a new radiator.
Apparently not all tools are the same though. I bought one that should have fit and it's friggin huge compared to the space it needs to fit into. :flame:
Quick disconnects are anything but a quick disconnect lol

^THIS.

Damn I was looking for one of these threads on here but figured I must've just missed it. Good on ya John for starting this thread.

I used to think the same thing until I bought the actual tools to disconnect them now they are pretty easy.

No I've got a set of just cheap plastic ones that I think only cost me $5 and came with 5 or 6 different sizes.
