What did you do with your 5th Gen this week?

Just wondering if these are still looking and working well for you a year in? Any pics?

Kinda sorta wrecked the spare tire port cover on the bumper. I wanted to check the spare tire itself to ensure it had enough psi’s in it and to verify winch operation.

I found out that the cover must go up up up not out out out to remove it. The tabs on the sides of the cover got a little bent but I was able to bend them back so the cover will probably stay in place.

I ordered a replacement anyway.

Just cleaned mine today. The nice weather on this spring day makes it so pleasant to clean. I’m so happy

Yes I know, lovely wife, healthy kids, comfortable home, blah, blah blah.

But the RAM is so beautiful.

Once again, I did not wash my truck this month. It's a truck - I've spilled beer in the front, and there is dove blood on the seat from hunting season. I'm a happy camper.

Decided to paint my outside mirror caps Delmonico Red to match the truck. Couple Mopar 5oz spray cans followed by Spraymax 2K clear. Took the opportunity to spray tint (VHT Nightshade) the turn signals.

Simple decals for my hood, I didn’t like the all black but wanted a low key look. First is stock, second is a charcoal grey for just some slight color.
I also tinted the front windows with 20% ceramic and the dual panel roof with 35% ceramic to lower the heat coming through, also did a 5 inch brow to the windshield in 5%. my truck is so much cooler now in the direct sun. I rarely would opened the roof shade due to the heat on me while driving, now its always open.

Drove it to southern Ontario and back. Almost 1400 miles round trip. Went fishin’.

Truck ran great. Ethanol fuel sucks. But I had to burn that stuff through North Dakota and MN.

No issues other than bucking Dakota winds. Truck ran great and pulled our little boat just fine.

When we got home, the fun started. After dropping off the boat at storage place, picking up groceries and the cat, we got about 2 miles from home when the TPMS announced the rear driver’s side tire was losing air FAST!

I pulled over, well over, got the jack kit and lowered the spare. About this time the local game warden stopped by to lend assistance. Shortly after that a deputy sheriff stopped to see what was up.

I had to stand on the provided lug nut wrench to break the lug nuts loose. (When we got home, only then did I remember I had a cheater bar pipe in the cab.). I had already unloaded my emergency roadside tire changing kit with all kinds of sockets, big breaker bars etc.

The provided scissors jack worked okay. Fortunately we had a hard surface shoulder to work with.

1400 miles. No issues. 2 miles from home. BOOM! Better to have it happen near home than on the drive home in stormy Dakota weather though.

The cat survived the ordeal.

Hats off to the LEO’s who stopped to lend a hand.

Had to get/replace Right Rear TPMS sensor. This makes 4 replaced since January, so all the old ones from original build April 2018 replaced.

All of us LEO’s aren’t D-bags.

Glad you had a good trip and made it home safely.

Went and placed my order for a Magnaflow catback exhaust system with the 5” black tips. Now comes the fun part of waiting .

No kidding. Ordered the Husky under backseat storage from Summit on May1. Two ship dates changed on it. Supposed to now ship July 19. Reason I'm told "Husky is waiting for it to come from their supplier"? But if you look at the Husky web site it says "designed and manufactured in GA by Husky.

Bought it Saturday night, Tried to familiarize myself with everything yesterday and drove it to work This morning (Monday). It's been a pretty eventful 40 hours.
