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

[Socalramfan]

Hit 90k miles yesterday. Gave it a new air filter, quick bath and wipe down.

Just broken in

I hope so

Coming attraction, these amps are going away



to be replaced with smaller (physical size) and more efficient amps that actually match. Should allow me to clean this up a lot

 

[Stefan N]

Finally washed him

Used it to take my camper portable black tank to a dump site.

If it works out can you send me a list and the link for Alfa info?

Replaced the hood latch with Mopar one with sensor. I was factory wired from latch to the TIPM. Used pin5 and ran to BCM C1 connector, pin#11. ( This was excruciatingly painful to get to this connector for a 6’4, 250lb guy. Pin #6 went to body ground. 10 min with AlfaOBD, replaced rubber overlays on my fobs…Done. It works.

I’m half your size so maybe not so bad…looking into this.

Made our first big trip since the new engine went in. 1100mi. Impressed by the mpg’s with such spirited driving. Rewarded her with new headlights when we made it home.

yes, decent MPG is surprisingly possible. the '17 recently posted 22 per on a 14hr rip...

It raised it nice but are you going to level out the back?

Nice! those long trips get boring after a while.
I don’t really get hyped about mileage, but was curious as to what I’d get since the swap plus LT headers, manifold, tune and filter versus stock. 6spd 3.55’s.

It measured dead level when I first put it all together, now that I've been driving it for a couple weeks and it's settled, it's a half inch lower in the front. So it's perfect, not touching it

Last week replaced halogens in projectors hi and low beam and fogs with LED's.

Yesterday, did the AGS delete, making my own bracket for it, and works like a champ. No Codes. Drove about 100 miles in highway / local roads to see if it made any difference. Was 88 degrees yesterday and trans temp never went over 171, though. One thing I did that I didn't see anyone in the videos do was remove the rubber side skirts from the shutters and put them back in place to close off sides to the coolers. Just used Gorilla duct tape to hold them in place, but think that stuff will hold permanently.

EDIT: Didn' like having the modified AGS motor mounted down low like the videos (could be a target for water splash), so moved it in behind the radiator core support, in front of the TIPM. Cable was plenty long enough and now it is a lot more protected.

My Vararam Air Grabber Intake comes in tomorrow and we will see how that goes. I need to redesign the lead in angle / ramping of the front intake piece so it doesn't block the tran cooler so much. That should be easy without the grill shutters in there and a heat gun to reform the angle.

Wow these superduties are big… and ugly …and don’t worry I’ll be the first to admit that the 2023 MY when bone stock is about as ugly as the Chevy HHR was. But it’s got good bones and I really like the lifted looks on the 23s

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.

Actually next week-Tuesday going up to Quick_Shifter’s shop to install hubs, wheels & tires- with different offset to get rid of my wheel spacers & set of Bilsteins. Sending my shocks to be rebuilt, should be about 4 weeks, then go back for install. I’m excited to go, always a great day at his shop & knowing your mechanic isn’t satisfied until it’s right makes the day stress free. I have said it before but would happily drive twice as far to go to Quick_Shifters’s shop-ak_trucks_pa- won’t take my truck anywhere else!
