What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

[corneileous]

Replaced some speakers today but first and foremost, I think I’m gonna have to send back the Pioneer sub that I had bought to go in the factory box under the rear seat. The bass with this speaker seemed to be a little cleaner but it didn’t hit near as hard as the factory one so if anything, I can get an aftermarket amp to run it off of if Crutchfield won’t take it back. Or sell it, guess it all depends what Crutchfield tells me.

But anywho, I replaced all three dash speakers with the Infinty Reference 3032’s and what a difference it made. The mids and the highs are definitely a lot more heard, and I don’t have to run my treble up maxed out now. Lol. Highly recommended.

I did use the enclosed resistors tho, that run inline with the positive wire. The paperwork wasn’t very informative on when these things need to be used so I just called up Crutchfield and they said that those protect the speaker from the bass. Sounded good to me, so I used them.

Then I replaced my rear, roof speakers with these JBL Club 750T’s and what a difference those made for back seat riders. Highly recommended but they’re kind of a bear to figure out how to get them installed. When Crutchfield says “modified fit”, they mean it. I spent several hours getting them installed, trying to figure out which supplied mount was gonna work until finally I made my own custom mounts because like the Infinity’s, these JBL’s have a resistor pack also that needs to be wired inline as well and it’s a lot bigger than the one with the infinity’s.

Custom bracket made with Dremel tool out of an aluminum shelf bracket like what you’d buy from Lowe’s or Home Depot.


Speaker mounts installed to the brackets....


Speakers installed in the cups...

Paid it off

Must be nice!!...[emoji106][emoji106]

Although I am in the process of getting mine refinanced so for about another 20 bucks a month, I knocked off a year on the term and almost 2% on the APR.

I still plan to pay my slightly larger monthly payments which should have me making this type of post in about little over five years...[emoji41]

She got her first bath today. I’m really digging the color.

I'm really diggin' the black up to the door line. Been thinking about doing that. Bought some Plasti-dip to try it out. If it didn't look right, just peel it off. Your truck pic just convinced me it will look good, provided I do the chrome bumpers and the grille surround. Also just got black pocket style flares (not on yet). Mine is all white & black. Beautiful truck, Sir.

Always bring enough gun.

That will buff right out...

Sorry to see this man, that sucks. Looks like it is clean at the door and glad she didn't smack the frame. You ok, physically?

I'm fine saw the whole thing happen from work across tha street.

Thanks Man.

Fronts are good. The rears don't have any. Think it might be the top bolts. Only ones I don't feel I got torqued enough.

Spent yesterday working on putting the new CAT's in. While I had it up on a lift to do that, I found that the outer boot on the drivers axle shaft was toast and grease was everywhere. Called the wife to bring my car out to where I was working so I could go to the parts house. While she was on the way, I pulled the front axle out. Found the hub to have a sketchy bearing. Figured that while I had it off, just as well replace it.

Also did the brakes while I was at it. They still had about 15% left on the pads, but pads are inexpensive and we are going to be towing our TT on two 2000 mile trips soon, so figured while I had it apart.

So something that started out to be a $300 replacement of catalytic converters turned into a +/-$700 job. Good thing I can do all the labor, otherwise who knows.

CAT's - $300
O2 Sensors - $70 (only had to replace 2, just did passengers about 5 months ago)
Axle - $80
Hub - $145
Brake Pads, Front and Rear - $50
Rear Rotors - $70

My new 6.7L CTD Ram in most cases sits for most of the weeks (5 Days @ a time) some times longer due to I have a company work truck.

With the proven slow drain on both batteries with All the electronic draw within these trucks now days. I wanted to hopefully prolong the life of both batteries for at least 1-2yrs.

So this idea popped up with the help from a friend on YouTube.

When the truck is parked in the garage for days on end. Both batteries are hooked up to the Genius G750.
Plans are have 1 dedicated G750 per battery. Both batteries have permanent hookups for the G750. Just raise hood & plug in.

Still have some work to do to clean up the project. Ordered 1/4 wire loom to Incase all the G750 wire.





In return: Everytime the 6.7L is started she is started with fully charged batteries.
Really a plus for the winter months.
