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

Switched out the flowmaster for a magnaflow

^^^How old is that Flowmaster?

The 3gcustomz half engine covers are all done and installed. I noticed the Hemi orange covers didn’t match the orange Vararam at all so I decided to paint it to match. The driver’s side was kind of a pain to get into position with everything that’s on that side.

If anyone here orders a set for their Ram and paints them or has them painted, I highly recommend you wrap them in bubble wrap or something similar for the install. Otherwise, you stand a good chance of scraping the paint. (especially on the driver’s side) The bubble wrap will pull off easily once they’re in place. I used painters tape to hold the wrap on because it’s easy to tear off.

You can barely see the driver’s side cover but it’s there.

I degreased & pressure washed the engine bay before I installed the covers and made sure to clean out the Vararam real good before while I was in there. The Outerwears pre-filter is doing an awesome job at protecting the air filter. Great product.

Before:


You can see the obvious difference in color here. This was a test fit and also the exact moment I decided to paint the Vararam lid.


After: The kid looks slightly lighter but that’s because the covers aren’t getting the same light exposure.

U R Forgavin' !!!!

Installed the 4th brake light, oil change, cleaned it. Not much else..

Installed some tint on third brake light and fogs. I tried tail lights and messed it up. So gonna try again.....

EDIT: my bull bar was crooked in the picture. So, I loosened it, out anti seize on bolts and put back on with minor adjustments to depth and angle. So now my light will shine more down road [emoji106]. See my OCD wouldn’t allow crooked BB ha ha. Can’t believe I never noticed that before [emoji2369]

Also, can you tell the trees are having *********** up here? Glad I don’t have allergies [emoji12]

Had it up on jack stands for most of this week. Seriously considering just selling the stupid thing.

Older pic, but I had it in the same spot to pull the CV shafts this week.

Just did another Redline 5w-30 oil change...I just really hope I meet one of the engine designers some time...effing oil filter location. No matter what I do, ziplock bag, aluminum foil oil slide, I get oil all over....It is just plain stupid.

Can you imagine how much oil would spill if someone else did it?


what filter did you use?

@JB1 I guess the shops must just raise the pan up and wipe up the mess afterward...Its just idiotic.
I use RP10-48. I cant imagine trying to use the bigger one in that space!

The big brown truck dropped these off today.

On our way to Maryland for the weekend so I’ll install on Tuesday when we get back.

Thanks Nick@gotexhaust.

Soooo, yesterday I installed ibright LED parking lights in my OLED lamps and went through the entire AlfaOBD process.
It took me 12 hours to edit this 18 minute long beast.
Hope you guys enjoy it. [emoji4]
