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

[StateOfMind]

If you were using a sledge, check for cracks when you have it apart

 

[Drifter667]

[Drifter667]

Looking good

 

[Drifter667]

All back together, gonna go get something to eat. And then I'll finish the other side in the morning.

Quick edit, the clunck sound when backing out of my driveway is gone.

Drove into town to get the doorman transpan with the drain, because the postal contracted 3rd party won't take the oversized box 1 mile from the boxes.

 

[Drifter667]

Both ball joints are now installed and I'm beat lol

 

[Kid's HEMI! !!]

Changed my front diff fluid today with Amsoil SS severe gear 75w90.

 

[PA Ram]

Ordered a PCM of fleabay to send to diablosport. That way I have mine if anything goes wrong. Both are on their way and fleabay PCM should be here first. $70 for peace of mind, priceless

I am way overdue for my diffs, can you tell me if the gasket is reusable?

You don't remove the rear plate on these. There is a drain plug on bottom of both front and rear diffs. Not like my 3rd gen Ram.

Reminds me of my Navy days sending newbs to the watch officer for ID 10T forms, sonograph ink (doesn't use ink) and satellite watch. I worked in Intel so we had a few others too. Literally convinced a guy to wait on the roof for a satellite to pass by and drop off film and he couldn't let the film hit the ground. Can't believe the government trusted us with Top Secret clearances.

I'm not sure if it's different on your 2500. I doubt it.

LOL - ID10T, we used that in the Chair Force too, and sent them to get 20 yards of flightline.

Left the *** 1500 4th gen at home and got to drive a real 6 speed 3500truck today .

Can't wait to do a factory restoration on this bad boy.

 

[JHoward]

Finally got around to installing the SPORT hood on my 2017 RAM.

 

[CanuckRam1313]

Replaced the Napa blower motor with a Mopar blower motor. Seems to blow harder with the factory blower motor.

Found the source of a horrible noise that had been driving me crazy for months

Took out the cold air intake and put the stock airbox back in. I saw fine dust post filter with the K&N and that was enough of a reason for me to go back to stock.

Agreed!

If you're looking for air intake improvements, look at the 392/Eco Diesel lower air intake box and air intake horn, plus the air filter for these engines, too. Great upgrade to pursue.

You can also install the Legmaker Intakes RAM HEMI mid-tube upgrade that provides a 4" CF custom made tube with silicone TB elbow and connectors and the IAT extension to relocate it to the center of the air intake horn.

Add in a K&N breather filter and a a good quality oil catch can and you've got a recipe for a great system that works and doesn't introduce contamination into your engine.
