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

[tones2SS]

Dropped mine off at my buddy's shop.
I have some creaking in the rear of the truck that is driving me crazy. Had it for about 3 months now. Of course this morning I take him for a ride in it and you can barely hear it. Trouble is with stuff like that, it's hard to diagnose and I told him not to die on it and I don't want to spend a lot of money on it. I'm getting rid of the truck anyways. Pretty dissatisfied with this truck com[pared to my last Ram. Only 5 years old, less than 24k on the clock and all these issues. Pretty poor if you ask me. (There are other issues I haven't mentioned that bother me as well.)
The other issue that they are going to address today is the squeaking driver's side window when putting it down. He said the proper way to fix it would be to take the covering off and replace gaskets and such, but he said since I am getting rid of it, he's just going to lube some stuff up and it'll be fine for a little while but probably come back. I told him, no biggie,....winter's coming so I won't be putting the window down anyways and I don't want to put any money into it.
Lastly, they are going to do the Mobil 1 synthetic oil change and Mopar oil filter change. The last one I am doing on the truck. Hope to order a new vehicle in February. "Hopefully". LOL Anything can change between now and then, but that's the plan.
Not a Ram vehicle and not a truck. Done with trucks.

Sorry to hear about all the trouble. I have been really lucky with mine.

Thanks. I appreciate it.
It seems as the truck gets older, the more the problems are showing up. It's almost 5 years old and not many miles, only 27,400 on the clock. I can only imagine a year from now or more. It's too bad because it is my second truck and my second Ram truck. My first Ram truck was pretty amazing. I do miss that one.

I built a fused relay panel to run an off road 42” LED lightbar built in flush with the fairing on my over cab rack, and two flush mounted View attachment 472114View attachment 4721153” cube LED which I put on each side

Nice. Ive been looking for some motivation and ideas for such a fuse panel

Love the chicken lights

Need to sell factory 4th gen silver sport wheels with factory size all season tires. What’s a fair price?

I got 650 for a really nice set of Chrome Laramie wheels with almost brand new SRAs. Thats all I could get for them. I would say 5-700 would be fair.

I ceramic coated my glass today. I had some extra and so why not.

Thanks Socalramfan. I’m an ex owner operator from the wild days of trucking (late 70’s/early 80’s) when we ran 2 logbooks, and it was hammer down coast to coast, so my chicken lights are an homage to those cabinets and large-cars back in the day

The market is tough. Those were true chrome wheels. Just not a market for stock wheels like there used to be.

I bought them from the Iowa 80 Chrome shop. They are actually the sleeper light panel for a Peterbilt 359

Yours looks great lit up like a Christmas tree!!! I have a total of 45 extra LED markers on my truck. I did want to keep all those circuits separate from my factory circuits, thus the reason for my fused relay panel. Also have 5 off road LED light bars (built into my roof rack) running through my relay panel as well as the power for my auxiliary Derale transmission cooler

I’d like to see a close up pic in the ambers under your bumper, during daytime so I can see what you have and how they’re mounted (if you don’t mind)
