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

[EdGs]

Drove up to see an old friend:

Very cool. Love the historical stuff.

Was going to the store yesterday, got in my truck, no throttle response. Press the gas, nothing, stayed at idle. Had the throttle body light on the dash. No codes. Went thru the throttle relearn, using AlfaODB, problem solved. Truck is running fine again. Very odd.

Can you tell me how you did the throttle relearn. Thru alpha please. The menu options overwhelm me

Been awhile, so, I already dumped that info out of my brain. I'll see if I can get some screen shots of the process tomorrow.

Just be aware, mine is a 2011. It might be a bit different for your truck.

Finally got my running boards installed (I don't like being under the truck lol.) and replaced the stock badges with blacked out ones.

Finally installed those Power Stop brake pads, no problems, very easy.

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.

I tried the gold Meguiars wax, I have used the soap for a while, first time with this version.
The directions said wax entire vehicle then remove, I didn’t do that, did 1/2 at a time but usually just did one section at a time.
I don’t think I’ve been letting it dry/haze enough in the past, was more work to remove but came out good IMO.
I finding more imperfections, 10 years old now, seems like every time I wash it so my main goal is to try to protect the metal by protecting the paint.

Changed the oil. 15 ounces of Lubegard, PP 5W-30 and an RP 20-820. I used the ziplock bag trick on the oil filter. Much less mess. I also waited several hours to drop the filter which obviously allowed the oil to cool down. Also that allowed the oil to drain that much longer.

New windshield, wiper cowl and windshield side pieces.

Hit some dirt county roads while storm spotting in Osage County Oklahoma yesterday.

That's awesome. We lived for 8yrs in OK (Ft. Sill) and I miss OK storm weather.

On the way back from Utah, stopped at a spot we used to party at when we were teenagers. Cedars were in bloom. Scrub oak and junipers nice and green

Hung out for a bit and stretched the legs, and continued on my way.

Got sick of oiling my door hinges whenever they started squeaking, applied a coating of brake caliper grease to them

Today was a big day for me. Installed the Vararam system and new headlights. New headlights make a huge difference for sure and the Vararam system looks way better than stock.

 

[HemiBrother]

Changed the oil 111,000 miles. Emptied the catch can and cleaned air filter.

glad i'm not the only one. i think i chose high temp red grease because its what i had around. It has been good for about 3 years now.

Just finished my 2000 mile oil change ritual and am also having my tires rotated and rebalanced.

Next up another transmission pan drain an fill.

Last April (2024), I had to replace the driver side window regulator. Well, June 2025, and I have to replace it again. Went to the store, rolled the window up, left store and rolled window down. No problems, worked nice and smooth. Got home and went to roll the window up. BOOM! One of the rollers came off and wrapped the cable around the motor roller. DAMMIT!!! 1 year warranty, but, 2 months past it. DAMMIT!!!

I know that sound all too well. Bummer on the warranty too!

Ever since I did the headers and exhaust I've had the CEL on. I tried the spark plug anti-foulers, no good, but I think I might not have drilled them out big enough. I pulled those back out and the O2 sensors didn't look too good,
I looked around for a good price to just replace them, since they appear OEM, and the truck is 14yo now. Rockauto came through. NTK makes them for Mopar so I got all 4, 2 were on clearance for $16, the other 2 were $32, (beats $85+ everywhere else!) plus I got a new rear wheel speed sensor for $16, hoping that will fix my abs light problem. Autozone says "errratic readings left rear wheel". I left it in the garage while I worked on the drag car so I don't know if it helped.
