Default My RAM

Bought in May 2011, Hemi SLT 4wd. Convert from a lifetime of Chevy and absolutely love it. Since have added K&N CAI and Dynaflow exhaust...like it needed more power...
Quit "free dealer oil change" because they always wanted to do expensive service before timeline called for it to bring revenue to dealership. BS!
I've always done my own maintenance so the dealer is out as of last oil change.
30k on the truck and started full synthetic w/Wicks filter. Now spark plug rerplacement is due. It looks tough on the back bank. Anyone have helpfull advice?

no snow here.. lots of freezing fog though...

keeps freezing my CB antenna and making it whip around...

roads are fine though. DOT is pretty good about keeping chemical de-icer down on the roads whenever temps get near freezing.

I wire brushed, sanded and painted the old wheels so they are ready to go on this week, a little late but better late than never. Also polished two of the newer rims taking about 3hrs pre wheel to get them back up to snuff.

Not perfect but just winter wheels.

I installed a B&M deep transmission pan yesterday on my 46RE so today I filled it up with ATF4 (8 qts.) hooked up my trans. temp. guage and took it for a 40 mile drive, temp. on tranny only reached 106 at one time with temp. outside being about 40 degrees. No leaks and the digital guage works fine so I am happy.
