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

[Hemi395]

Replaced my thermostat (should've done this the first time). Temps are all good now.

Removed the middle sets of grill shutters. I left the top and bottom slats to keep the codes from popping up.

Added the V6 E-fan conversion.

We're you using an oem thermostat when it failed? What did you go back with?

I've had horrible luck with aftermarket thermostats lately.

I had a Gates thermostat that was in there from going through this 2 years ago. The OEM lasted 8 yrs and 140k miles. The Mellington water pump and Gates thermostat lasted 25-26 months. Since I was down a vehicle, I used a water pump and thermostat from O'Reilly's to get me going again. We'll see how long they last.

Finally put in my front cab light I bought several years ago... it was tricky cuz I didn't get the plug but I just tucked wires under the diff areas and works great. Traced old cutout on seethru paper and transferred to cardboard...

Just picked up my new 26ft travel trailer. Pulls really well.

Nice, just pulled my 30ft travel trailer. Went camping in the Poconos Thursday through today with all my in laws and kids that have campers.

Nice. We are heading up to the Pocono's Nov 1st weekend. Going to Timothy Lake South. It'll be our last camping trip for the season.

We were at the Delaware Water Gap KOA. It was the first time I've been to that campground and it was a nice place and weather was great. It was our last trip as we always do a family trip to end the season. Already booked for next October.

New powerstop z36 front and rear pads and rotors. Got 4 years out of the old ones. All wore evenly except the driver's rear, I think that one had a sticking caliper slide pin.

 

[Sean J Blackburn]

Just hit 180k miles.

 

[BenchTest]

Front wheel bearings (unit bearings) replaced on the 4x4 RAM. 90K on OEM units. Trying out the "top of the line" MevoTech units. Good so far. They've greatly improved my lefthand pull. I couldn't detect any play/deviation in the OEM units, but had an unexplained left pull prior to bearing replacement. Drives straight now provided the wind isn't blowing crazily across the road or the crown of the road isn't a factor. Steering wheel input feels better as well.

This is awesome! I was just looking online to see what I can do, as I only have the 1 dome light.

Did you pull the headliner to install this light? And how did you wire it up? Did you run a connector between the 2 lights, or is there factory wiring in that area?

After doing brakes and rotors last weekend my brake pedal felt a little soft, so I did a brake fluid flush. The old fluid was pretty dirty. I used about 3 quarts of prestone max dot 3 to flush and fill. Pedal feels much better and the brakes work so well I keep stopping sooner than I mean to. Going to take a bit to get used to it.

By the looks of that water, I wouldn't recommend drinking that.

Oil change. Using Restore and Protect 0w20. I average 8k mile oil changes. Filters always look squeaky clean. I'm assuming things are fairly clean inside but curious to check filter after a run with this oil.

 

[Timmerduder]

Just did my first oil change, 107k miles, Shell T6 but my filter was from a gen 3 so I had to Shell out the big bucks at Napa in a small town lol

Used a relay switched to fog lights to power and turn on some extra lights on a 30amp line from battery.

After doing the flush last week I felt like my pedal was still a little spongy.

I bled the brakes manually with a pressure bleeder and then bled them with my autel scan tool. After doing that my brake pedal is super firm, best it's felt since I've owned the truck!

I'll have to remember the brake bleeding with the scan tool next time, it improved the braking feel a great deal.

Traded it.

went from my 17 rebel to a 21 rebel. At first I didn't like the 5th gen and the exterior is kinda meh but the interior is amazing.

Limited single cab coming along. I’m only missing my leather dash and I believe that’s it . I probably do a write up once it’s complete .

104885 miles Fuel Filters, This time I found a drain hose routing for the front filter that should be safe to keep it on.
