I’ll post this for any unfortunate cold weather trunk owners The block heater from ram was plugged in overnight and this morning I took a reading with a newer amprobe and it was drawing 4.7 amps at 119 volts which is 559 watts.

That is why I have a remote timer power outlet that I turn on 3 hrs before I get up.

Really looked at it when walking out of the bank. (Always parked by herself, of course.)
She really, really needs a wash. No time for that though. Maybe take her through the touchless wash this weekend?? I HATE the winter months. Loathe it.

Installed the Ebay flares that I had color matched. Fitment was ok for the most part aside from the front driver side by the headlight that I need to try do something about. It's Line-X underneath so not so worried about debris getting behind them.

Still not sure how I feel about them, almost need bigger lift and tires, doesn't look like I have 5" lift in front and 34.5's for some reason

I painted my antenna and the nut with rock guard paint...has held up great so far and has a texture feel to it. I cut about a third of the mast off and put round ball on the new cut section.

Well, discovered that some ******* stole my stubby antenna off my truck. SMH. Looked back at my security cameras and apparently it happened the day my wife decided to drive my truck to work. Sheesh I wish we chopped the hands off of thieves in this country.

Yay think your truck looks awesome! But I may be biased, ours are somewhat similar haha

I was going to try that, maybe I will next time. The salt around here just wants to eat the paint off of everything.

Lol thanks man, yours is pretty slick too. I would rather have the stock flares like you do, but when I first ran the pocket style flares they f'ed up the paint so I was forced to go with something the same size.

Mine are Amazon/eBay 2500 replicas, only 98! I mounted them, outlined them in thin masking tape, removed them and then put 3m clear bra vinyl on in the perfect shape of the flares +1-2mm, then fender gasket lining on the flares themselves and finally the flares, so the paint is as protected as can be. Basically this https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ikdMlserMqs but full vinyl under

You can see the gasket here and maybe the slightest poke of some 3m vinyl

Installed my Carve Progressive muffler on my 2019 ram 1500 classic. So far loving it. The wife even likes the sound.
