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

[SND2010]

I installed the DeeZee Tailgate Assist, Swapped out the rear light bulbs (tried LED's but they were incompatible with the flasher). Installed LED backup bulbs. Replaced 1 backup bulb socket. Replaced the old metal antenna with a 13" rubber whip. Installed new wiper blades. Went online and ordered a replacement lockset for my Mopar hard tonneau cover.
That's enough for one day!

Bought a used intake manifold. Ported and painted that and the fuel rails.

I did a wash, clayed the whole truck, polished the hood and a few other places that had water spotting by hand then did an IPA wipe down and finished with a coat of the new 303 Graphene. Came out great! The paint is in great shape so no real correction needed other than a couple minor scratches and some water spotting.

I ordered Adams graphene yesterday. Hoping to have time to do a full winter prep detail.

What kind of a deal did you get on the manifold? Porting sounds like fun!

I’ve never wiped my truck down with an India pale ale. How does that work exactly?!

Got rid of it!!!!!..........Our 4th Gen RAM 1500 4wd Bighorn was a PIECE OF JUNK FROM DAY ONE!................Had to have a COMPLETE top end rebuild at 130,000 due to #5 hydraulic intake Roller Lifter seizure, which in turn, destroyed the cam intake lobe, sending metal fragments all throughout the engine.........Chrysler 5.7 Hemi's are built by blind, deaf and dumb MONKEYS!

They’re also designed by same monkeys.

Installed the pocket flares I've had sitting around. Came out great.

Those look great! Tires look like exactly flush with flares. I like the matching mirrors, really sharp!

Took Thumper to a chevy dealer for service because the local Dodge dealer sucks .

Not very sexy but replaced factory tape that was peeling off with gorilla duct tape. Not sure if it makes a difference or not. Cheap project.

I used Gorilla tape on my truck as well and it's as good, if not better, than the factory tape. The power move would have been to spray Fluid Film into the rockers while you had the tape off. I'll be fluid filming mine this weekend for the winter and always pull the tape of and spray inside the rockers to prevent them from rotting from the inside out.

They do add that extra touch to the look of the truck.

Gave extang a call, and got through right away and they seemed very helpful. As soon as I mentioned possible issues with the side seals the rep let me know it would need replacement once they verified the issue and got the process started. Less than an our later I had an order number and a shipping date for a replacement.

Well, I received and installed the replacement in an undamaged box. Sadly this one has damage too.

The replacement is trapazoid, not a rectangle, so on the passenger side near the cab the water channel of the rail is not fully covered.
The cover has a few big dents on the bottom.
The side seals have small tears.

Debating about requesting another one. So tired of dealing with stuff in general and it's usable, but it was a fair bit of money .

I wouldn't be happy with that for the money you paid. I'd contact them and get replacements until they get it right.

It's either correct, or it isn't. Might be frustrating now, but will bug you even more for a lot longer if you don't. If they have integrity then they'll do whatever it needs to make it right and keep a good reputation.

Hang in there & good luck
