Today I "repaired the dent in the bed side of my Ram.

Tomorrow morning I will be giving my Ram a bath to get the road salt and grime. I will also be degreasing the replacement door to prepare it to be wrapped on Monday.
Looks like I will be wrapping the door tonight (as long as the rain stops) as the vinyl arrived a day early.

I don't believe you can add a video file to a post, just a link.

Im assuming its either leaking out of the weep hole or the bearings are noisy?

Got it back from the body shop. Great bodywork(R&R) but, when they put on the Aero hood protector, they used the molding tape that was too thin and it didn't stick for squat. And the guy applying it must have been crossed-eyed. So I took it off, bought some new tape, spend 2 hrs taking the tape off the hood protector (the only thing it half-assed stuck to) to find out that I bought the same thin tape.

The license plat holder and it's mounting method is garbage from the factory. I had used toggle bolts to hold it on. Too hard to describe the without pics. Anyway, they put it on doing it "like factory" and the damn thing fell off. Messing with the hood guard took longer than expected and it will have to wait until thurs on my day off.

But it is shinny new bumper, headlight and grille

Spot on ;) Noise and I thought is was a pulley at first. Check "all" (2 pulleys) and no special play or wine when rolling them or fans. Drove for a week or two and checked again. The wiggle was real at that time on the Visco fan/water pump :(

Finally got my new license plates in the mail for my new 2012 Bighorn so I put them on and brought it in for an inspection. Failed inspection due to broken front driver's side swaybar link. I had to pay them to do new front links so I can pass. All good now

Yup, same happened with mine at around the same mileage. If you go OEM for the water pump its a different PN now which means its been revised so HOPEFULLY they improved the bearings....

I need to quit putting it off and pick up a cheap Android tablet so I can get AlfaOBD. Was thinking about this mod just the other night, want my fogs to stay on with the lows/highs
