What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[Prospect62]

Today I got 20% tint installed on the front two windows to match the backs. Looks good! I also screwed the bedliner down because I almost lost it on a highway trip.

Speaking of tint, I'd like to put a light tint on my front windows but it has to match the factory tint on the back windows. Can anyone recommend a specific brand/color that is a match to the oem glass tint?

pretty much 20% I dunno bout a color match...black??

Yea 20% is basically a match. I have that on on my front windows when I bought it but going darker soon, girlfriend has 5% on her car which I may end up getting. I know I'll be more of a alert to cops with it but by me they don't bother you much for it, if they pulled you over for something else then they'll just add that on, lucky for me the girlfriends family is all high up cops or state troopers so I'm good lol.

Seems they bag ricers more than trucks anyways...

In the UK the cops wait till Christmas shopping and then pull every 4x4 over with front tints. I saw families all scratching their front glass queued up on the way to the shopping mall.

Radiator was weeping: - Age or thermostat and decaying lower hose clamps.
New Radiator, New Waterpump, New Hoses, New Clamps, New Thermostat, (you can slide a small clear tube into the block and syphon a lot of the block out when the waterpump is off), separate heater core flush and blew down the hose to empty and flush. Then Full Flush whole system with Distilled and no thermostat in till clear running water - 4 cycles of flushing with just distilled. No chemicals or harsh compressed air or pressured water to the 115K mile engine.
New Coolant and three top ups after getting engine temp up to normal.

New Tranny filters and new ATF+4. Cracked pan open in one corner to drain most then slowly all bolts bit a time - made little mess at all. Used tranny gasket supplied which requires no liquid gasket ATV.

Simple clean jobs which I thought it would be messy. No leaks after a week.

I hate coolant work. Don't know why but I just dread anything to do with cooling system and anti freeze.

At least coolant doesn't stain the driveway like oil does...

Just saying...

Changed the degree on my diff installed one of 2 shocks on the back.
the pass side lower shock bolt was rusted together with the shock bushing sleeve.

Ordered a bolt from Dodge, will be in tomorrow.

& only one of the 4 shocks had a decal in the box.

Torsion lifted the front end 2 inches, the alignment is scheduled for Monday. She's garage queen status for now, PLUS gives me a reason to be rollin' 2 wheeled for a few days.

 

[derekp]

Installed this.

 

[RonJon '06]

Installed new ball joints. With the other parts I've already replaced I'll have a completely rebuilt front end and man did it need it.

Picked up the new bolts from Dodge & installed 4 shock.
No more vibrations in the rear.

Posted a pic in the photo challenge thread.

Now just have to mod the front upper a-arm brackets & then wheel alignment & that will finish the suspension.
