Started polishing the lathe chatter, feeds and speeds were for harder aluminum than anticipated.

guess which butterfly screw didn’t come out nicely?

I have a 2014 ram 1500 ccsb sport 4x4 with 82k miles on it. Below is everything I completed on my maintenance/small upgrade schedule:

Redline oil change from Pennzoil ultra uranium pluto synthetic
redline rear diff fluid
redline front diff fluid
redline transfer case fluid
redline fuel treatment
NGK spark plug change
Throttle body cleaning
both Front Wheel bearings
Deezee tailgate strut
Front Brake rotors and pads
Tire rotation
recharged the a/c because it was down 1/2lb. now it is at 43F on max
Removed the spare tire and tools as I haven't done that (original owner)
cleaned k&n air filter
and anxiously waiting for my gator fx tonneau cover to be delivered today and install.

My truck feels like the day I drove it off the lot. I had a bad humming from the bearings and the brakes were in need of replacing (replaced them at 45k with oem, this time I went with an aftermarket oem type set with great reviews). Those noises are gone and the truck is running much smoother. Im glad I replaced the spark plugs as well, the old plugs were in decent shape but the new ones you can notice made a difference.

I am having an issue with my radio once in a while changing the channels on its own. Does anyone have a suggestion for this problem on the 8.4N?

I also have the fish bowl drivers side projector headlight. I have silica bags to put inside it, I saw another member on here do that and it fixed the problem. Does anyone else have a suggestion for this?

Thanks in advance

Enabled the alarm on the truck. Only had to change "Lin & MISC - VTA System Present" then "VTA"
Light blinks and when opening door, it goes off. I was inside the truck testing and had to remember that the light blinks fast for a delay so that you can go back in for something (wallet glasses etc) and not set it off. I didn't time it (looks like 30-45 secs), then blinks slow and is armed.

Exhaust leak on the passenger side got my last nerve. Just ordered me some JBA silver ceramic shorty headers and OEM gaskets off of Moes! (Thanks stimulus check) Can’t wait to get them on!
