Washed all the salt from the 2 days of snow we had here this year. EEE6BA79-7BF4-4094-A09B-0E0AFE6D1CD6.jpeg 62D45A6F-B0DA-4E8E-ABDC-FEA673CC1D7B.jpeg

It’s already filthy as we have had non stop precipitation, and nothing but more in there forecast!
How depressing is this? (Temps in Celsius):

A couple things done yesterday. First on my 2500 Cummins:

Replaced the stock tail lights with Morimotos.

Then my 1500 was due an upgrade. Morimoto XB HiD Lights. What an improvement over stock! Long overdue.

I’ve never like those XB tails on any other truck as much as I do on yours! They really suit you colour combo. Nice job

I spent this last weekend introducing my rear bumper to a 10’ mount of plowed snow and ice
Can anyone point me where to find a replacement? Dealer cost is $680 for bumper with holes for sensors

Bought mine on Amazon for about $180 in primer. You can get a kit to paint it yourself for about $40. There really is so little paint area on the rear bumper there is not much chance of a bad looking paint job from a can.

Then take the old sensors and rubber cover and transfer them to new bumper. Out the door for about $220 if you don’t mind doing some work yourself.

PS. I was quoted $700 ish for the body shop to do the bumper so your quote is about right.

I installed the engine block heater I ordered from allmoparparts. Not a bad job, the longest part was trying to route the wiring harness for it. I couldn’t reach the back of the engine on the passenger side to run the harness that way. So, I routed it to the driver’s side instead.

Once you remove the starter, the spot for the heater is right behind & slightly above it in the engine block. You can partially see it before taking the starter out after you remove the heat shield.

I watched this video I found on YouTube to get an idea of what I was up against. This was not as annoying as I thought it would be.
I currently have it plugged and set to a timer to kick on at 0500.

Did you have any skid plates that you had to remove? I did on mine and that made the job a pita.

I know the voices in my head aren’t real, but man, do they ever come up with some great ideas.

I thought I was going to have to loosen/remove the bracket that bolts to the front axel assembly and runs under the trans to get the bottom starter bolt, but the socket fit in there & went right on.

I painted the center console latch handle. I thought I'd do a super thorough job by disassembling the console lid to remove the handle for painting. My word of advice; just don't take the lid apart. Its not worth it. The inside bezel was not designed to be separated once installed to the lid. You will break most of the clips.

If I were to do it again, I'd just mask of the handle and paint it. I'll take some pics tonight when I get off of work.

Yep that link are the ones I bought. Generally I have phone, fire pager, and other stuff thrown in the center console cup holders so these worked out perfect...plus gave us somewhere to put juice boxes for the kids.

I was at the stealership Monday to get some recalls done. I went into the showroom while waiting and the truck in there had those in the doors and the sticker showed that those were a $76 upgrade. Those aren’t worth that much in my opinion, but the $26 on amazon is more like it.

Awhile back I got tired of the glare off the chrome center latch handle and used a small scrap of adhesive matte black vinyl I had and wrapped the handle. Non permament, eliminates that glare, and matches the interior better.
