2nd oil change at 6033 miles (1st one at 1953). Do it myself in the driveway... Truck is just tall enough to not need ramps. Oil life was down to 60% after a little over 4k of mostly highway miles.

Dropped my off at the dealer. They need to fix the left turn signal switch, which they did not repair during the Recall.

Getting there little by little. No more chrome badges (minus front RAM emblem), put on the Rebel wheels and tires today.

Got mine back after a week at the dealership. Replaced L turn signal gear, and the entire rear window system.

Word of caution. Supposedly the leaking rear window issue is now a wear item. Like paint and trim. After 12/12 on the warranty, Ram doesn’t cover it anymore.

Originally they wanted $1500 to replace it. I balked, and they made a few phone calls. Ram agreed to cover $1400 of it.

Now I need to replace my rear window stickers. Damn 1st world issues.

What's the drain kit? It has a screw in the bottom of the tank.

Adds a hose with a valve at the bottom. I keep a paint cup around that I can drain the catch cans in a few seconds each and dump into the oil drain pan.

It's so nice I drilled and tapped my BilletTech can and added a drain to it also.

After 5 years I bought one again... now deciding on how I want to modify it. Kept the old whip as well as not worth anything to sell but needed something with a bed again. Got a heck of a deal on it has every option but the night packages 55k miles certified pre-owned for 38k one owner no accidents.

Haven’t cleaned her up yet, but just picked her up from the shop.

Zone Off-Road 4 inch lift kit with Fox 2.0 rear shocks. (Thank you Nick from Got Exhaust) 20x10 -18 Wicked Off-Road 903 machine cut and gloss black. And Venom Power tires. (I have heard good and bad about these tires. I’ll give them some time. Highway driving and some minor towing, before I do a review)

After install and alignment, truck tracks straiter then when new.

Very pleased with the results.

Got the Rebel cleaned up today.

Slight vibration after the lift install. Found out one of the wheels is bad. Contacted the company, they are shipping a new one. Should be here next week.

My '23 1500 came with heated seats, but not power so I bought a power seat gutted it and had to figure out that the wiring was way easier to buy than patch together. But it works and I have power and heat
