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

[BuschLatte420]

The RWL look looks nice with that color of blue @BuschLatte420 I have been thinking of doing the same when I put mine on. I don't see it very often out here on the coast

Thank you, I think seeing the white turned in woulda been weird lol. My Tahoe is the same way so they match (before I cleaned off the blue)

All I did to my 4th Gen is an oil and filter change. Pennzoil Platinum High Mileage 5w30 and a Fram Ultra 10060. Any alternatives to the ziploc bag around the filter to keep from making a mess? I thought maybe a coffee container. Anyone ever tried that or something similar?

Cleanest way removing oil filter

Ram couldn't of put the oil filter in a worse position than they did really. It's like they wanted to see how dirty one could get just trying to remove that oil filter. I bet many of them laugh at the complaints they have gotten throughout the years having the worse placement probably ever...

Got sick of the drone of my exhaust and found a lightly used magnaflow bolt on muffler. I sure miss the rumble of the small black widow, but that silence in the cab is golden when driving home from work...

There's definitely a fine line between loud and obnoxious. I love loud outside, just hate drone/resonance inside

Same. I'm probably going to look into ordering an exhaust cutout at some point. Give me the best of both worlds. Loud when I want it and mild the rest of the time.

Installed a soft topper from agri-cover. Absolutely blown away by the fit and finish.

I, umm, I let my wife borrow it to go into town yesterday.

She brought it back in one piece and all, but I actually had to adjust the seat and rear-view mirror back to where they should be for the first time ever.

I'm still shaking from the experience...

Rented a cabin in the middle of the desert for the past 3 days so i drove the truck again for more outdoor fun. Temp was around 70F during the day so the desert was simply amazing. Everybody but the dog drove the truck(s) and had fun everywhere with them

Cross bred my truck yesterday. My moose mirrors got on my last nerve so I spent a ton of money with Boost Auto again and got GM style mirrors this time. Gotta say, they're not for everyone but I'm definitely a fan of them already.

So I searched the forum for a thread like this and didn't find anything. I figured it would be fun to have a thread that everyone can watch what everyone is doing each week.

This week I put on Steelcraft nerf bars, and right now I'm getting the permaplating put on the truck. This way it gets a real good bath.

I had to wait for a truck to get back so I could lock our gate, so had time to do a wash & wax. I need to do the interior but ran out of time, well my back said it was done, stretching on the ladder gets me everytime.

Did the fuel filters for the 75k(74640) service. I have access to the auto hobby shop on base and made doing the rear a breeze. The front SUCKED! Can't get to the drain spout from the bottom to hook up the longer hose (factory is abut 6"). So lower the lift and hook the hose up to the and fed it through to the underside. SO I THOUGHT. Had to raise it up to look for the end. DAMN! left the light under the hood, bring it back down. Raise it back up and find the end to feed it through to the underside. Now can't get to the valve to get it to start draining, so down it comes. Crawled underneath to put a drain pan. Got it all drained, new filter, new O-ring. Got it all buttoned up and cleanup time. I have a small tool box for all the oil/fuel filter wrenches, screwdrivers, ratchet, extensions, swivel and a rag. Oh yeah, the 28mm socket to take the front fuel filter canister top off. Well, putting the tools up, the 28mm socket is nowhere to be found. Climb into the the engine bay no sight. Raise the truck back up to look on frame and other places, Nope it's hidden well. Ordered 2 more. This time going to have someone weld the sucker to extension and paint it orange.

Two oils changes ago I let the mileage go to the 15k as recommended in the OM. Never again, it was really nasty. That took it to 65K. When I was scanning my receipts, I noticed that the ram is ready for the 10k change. So I know what I will be doing next weekend.

I cleaned the country mud off and noticed the leading edge of the hood is chipped up like a SOB. So $25 for touchup paint and ordered a AVS aeroskin II hood shield.

Changed out that dirty, leaky, cow-crap smelling evaporator . And a new heater core.

Finished up the Auxbeam switch panel wiring, and added some Diode Dynamic lumens. Still need to run the wire to the rear for the manual reverse light switch, and I left open spots for front bumper lights and a light bar, both of which will probably wait until I get an aftermarket front bumper. Also next mod I have working is a gmrs radio with the antenna going on the light mounts also.

Added an extension to my topper lift camper so I don’t kick the door open when I’m sleeping

This is a Clean install and a Nice light setup. Good work sir.

New sneakers and front brakes. Front tire got a piececof metal too close to the edge. Got a good deal on Vredestein Pinza A/T. Was happy with the Yokohama Geolander but more money. Have had great luck with Vredestein on other vehicles. 3 peak, H speed and 50k tread warranty.
Calipers were sticking, so ended up replacing front pads, rotors and calipers. Power Stop Z36

Pulled a trailer from one end of our building into another. I need helper bags lol

 

[Bandit517]

Swapped my chrome grill for a black one. It's an OE grill but it's gloss black, not Black pearl like my truck is but I can live with the lack of pearl. I think it looks great, definitely helps my indecisive thoughts on painting the chrome grill.
