    Took off the bubbling over rear tire - How far do I have to go?

    this needs a patch panel http://www.cooltruckparts.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=0315941032CE4CCD81480E14735935D8 cut away outer bedside, repair inner wheelhouse with scrap sheetmetal, splice in patch panel, plastic filler and paint, then oil undercoat the inside cavity

    RUST!?! NOOOOOOO

    If your other side wheel well isn't showing rust now, it will be soon. Also the front fenders by the Hemi badge, and the rocker panels under the doors. Get it fluid filmed, corrosion free'd, or NHOU'd this fall and every year from now on. Hemi395 has lots of info.

    Anyone using rubber bedmat with rambox cargo management system

    Can't beat the tractor supply price. I think the width for Rambox is 49", but for that Tractor Supply price who cares about 0.5" on each side. FYI I have the Ram OEM mat, it works for both RamBox and non RamBox - you just have to cut off the four corners with a razor knife. No problems with...

    Bad paint

    Can't say exactly as its gotta be 15 years old by now. Looks like amazon has a new version of it for $700. Or you could give the $15 knockoff version Burla linked above a go.

    Bad paint

    Do you think the hood was repainted? Look for excessive dust nibs in the paint, sandscratch swelling, tape lines at the bottom side edge of the panel, or uneven clear coat orange peel. My truck had the driverside rambox cover, and part of the passenger side cab, repainted before delivery...

    Bad paint

    We need to see a picture of the paint defect to reasonably comment, which on white paint is hard to do. Just take it to the dealer if you are not happy. FYI My 2018 has 5 - 5.5 mils on the hood and the rest of the body, which is a good thickness for an OEM non-repainted hood. Hood Thickness...

    Replacing dash stock speakers - resistor question

    The 5W, 10W or 20W power rating of the resistor is the amount of power the resistor can dissipate, typically at 25C ambient, before it reaches its thermal limit (typically 125C or 150C). Note this is defined with some amount of airflow (varies by manufacturer) and you stuffing them in your dash...

    Glove box scratches

    +1 on heat. heat gun would be more controlled than a lighter.

    Front license plate options

    I double side taped my plate to my bumper to get through inspection. I had to use a heat gun to remove. I was going to use the sto-n-sho plate holder, but I like this magnet idea.

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

    From the picture that doesn't look deep. Some compound and elbow grease might clean that up!

    Rust protection

    +1 vote for oil undercoating. it creeps into all of the creases where paint can not reach and where the rust starts hemi395 has the best post I have seen about this for our trucks
