I hereby name thee The "Wing-Nut" Jack Hold-Down Mod.
A quick tip for 4thGen Ram Owners.
Don't want a stuck jack hold-down? Replace yours with the 2018+ Pieces!
I've seen the post(s) and even had it happen once. You know, right? The jack hold-down wing-screw under the passenger seat, the one that goes through the nut in the floorboard that gets rust from underneath.
Yeah, it sucks. Especially when you actually need your jack but can't get it out because the wing-nut's rusted in place.
Guess what though? Ram made a different design in the 2018+ Classics. Cost is less than $15 and 10 minutes of your time and here's the part information.
Original.
New style pieces.
Don't use loc-tite, use grease on the threads when installing the stud into the floor in case it ever needs to be removed.
