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

[BuschLatte420]

New wipers! Better last more than a year for $50 or so!

 

[KnurledNut]

100k Refresh on my 2017 1500 Laramie.

Awesome, they didn't have the Mopar pump when I did mine!

Water pump is on there



I dropped the f-ing fan and it cracked, time to order new fan blades...

 

[Hemi395]

I got f*cked by Rockauto, they list part # ending with AI and ship part ending in AB. I changed down from AG to AB

But now it is on there

Is the rest of the part number different at all? Mine was a completely different part number, not just the last...

Make sure whatever fan blade you get securely mate's up to the fan clutch, I got one that wouldnt match up like the factory one and it would cause it to wobble which will kill the bearings in the new water pump. As much as it's stupid money I would go with a Mopar fan blade...

Tanks! I was aiming at VDO one, but time to bend over I hear (for ~$ move decimal one step left)

Man I most have been drunk as h*ll, Rockauto list part as AB, I have lost it

Right?? I can't believe they charge that much for a plastic fan. I bought the Dorman one as a backup and it doesn't fit well at all. If you tighten down the bolts it's lopsided on the fan clutch. I can't speak to the SKP one or the Continental one but we know the Mopar one will be machined right and balanced properly.

First, moved the side mounted forward facing flood lights to face to the rear, then added spot lights to face forward in the original position where the floods were at (see pics). Then, today, what should have been a 2-hour job per side, to replace the lower ball joints, turned into a 4-1/2-hour job just to get the left side done. Got dark and decided to leave the right till next weekend. And still have to finish up the wiring for those lights. This on top of troubleshooting the wife's jeep (Just Empty Every Pocket turns out is VERY true)...

 

[Kid's HEMI! !!]

dropped off the new tires to the body shop so when they’re ready for alignment, they can get those mounted also

 

[Sean J Blackburn]

Changed the ATF on my nv243 transfer case, used Valvoline ATF+4.

Changed my front diff oil, found out the hose for the vent had come off the diff and there appeared to be water mixed with the oil. Used Red Line 75w90,reattached the breather hose

Changed the rear diff oil, was dark but clear and no water in the rear. Refilled with Red Line 75w140 that had the friction modifier in it as I have the limited slip diff. No chatter so far.

Installed new MOOG greaseable rear sway bar links

Installed new Prothane greaseable rear sway bar bushings.


Next project is drilling out the broken bolt for the front skid plate I found while taking the skid plate off. Nice of whoever had the truck before me to leave that sheared off bolt in there for me to find

 

[Sean J Blackburn]

Forgot the obligatory picture of the front diff oil, pretty sure that's water contamination. The rear was fine (just dark) so no pics.
