As usual I had to go to gas station first but after that I dropped truck off to shop. Tomorrow my hughes plenum, intake gaskets, thermostat and o2 sensor will be done. I can't wait to see what difference it makes.

@ 00xj74 and Maxx Magnum:

I want the switch so I can demonstrate to our local Law enforcement that it works factory. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are hard *** on that sorta stuff. And besides, my switch plate turned out kick a$$!!! Pics to follow in the near to distant future...

Ahhh makes sense then. I guess it would be handy to have it on a switch, better than actually having to STOP to watch a movie right? Can't wait to see the pics

I too am quite familiar with the good ol RCMP lol

Hughes plenum is installed...feels great to have that off my mind. To be honest it did not make much of a difference in power but the mid range seems better. Its nice to know for sure it is not going to cause problems in the future.

Spent 1h34m replacing the fuel pump and tank straps. My old straps were toast. Tools needed: 2 HD ratchet straps, 1 deep well 15mm socket, a 24" extension, socket wrench and a flat head screwdriver.

Broke the quick disconnect of course. Got another one from a local truck yard down the street from a newer ram(no 90 degree) for $2 replaced the vinyl hose with 180psi FI rubber.


For those who find this via searching Broke Quick disconnect (90 degree): Part number: Dorman 800-086.
It is 3/8 steel to 5/16 vinyl. A piece of 5/16 fuel injection hose w/clamps replaces the vinyl section.

The switch on the far right will be to bypass the park brake switch for the DVD player. Thats why its a straight through and not a match to the rest. It would not light up going straight to ground anyway.

The other three are powered switches that will run what ever in the future. More lights, battery isolator, what ever. Not totally sure yet, but I am ready! Now I just gotta get that shipping quote from Geno's on the new cup holder!

canada rokzz, that looks good.
I have two suggestions for you, the first being to contact Panasonic with your radio's model # and tell them that you need the bezel, or go to a stereo shop and see if they have one that will fit.
The second is something for one of your switches,

Drained my oil today. Found it a little thin and gas smelling. I knew at WOT I was running rich but damn. I emailed Sean about a new tune so he wrote one up for me. Tried to get the oil filter off and it's being a bitch. I wanna upload the new tune and try that sucker out
