Installing OEM LED Bed Lights - Ram 1500
Переглядів 62 тис.5 років тому
This weekend, I installed the OEM LED bed lights in the truck. I did a rubbing of the factory installation holes in a newer model RAM at work. I then used that hole template as my guide to drill out the holes. Once the holes were done, then I easily fastened the lights into place and proceeded to zip-tie the wire loom along the bedframe up the driver's side. When I got to the installation part ...
Replacing the Alternator Dodge Ram 1500 4th Gen
Переглядів 34 тис.5 років тому
Last week, I changed out the alternator on my Dodge Ram 1500. My battery was not holding a charge but the battery itself was ok. Ran into a hiccup when I realized the part I'd gotten from Napa, was not the correct one for my truck. Went back to get the right one, but of course it wasn't in stock. Once I did get the correct one it was pretty easy to drop it in. For more detailed instructions on ...
DIY Stone Fireplace Makeover with Reclaimed Wood Mantle

*Jack's Garage subscribers - I haven't stopped working on the vehicles, just wanted to post a DIY home project. I'll be back working on the truck soon! The past few weeks, I've been working on the fireplace remodel. Our old fireplace worked fine we just weren't happy with the look of it. We wanted to incorporate some stone and we also like the look of reclaimed wood. We wanted to hang the TV ab...
Inner Door Panel & Window Motor Replacement - Dodge Ram 4th Gen
Переглядів 11 тис.5 років тому
This weekend, I replaced the passenger side inner door panel and window motor. I had previously tried upgrading just my old black door handle to a chrome one and it ended up breaking on me. I wired it up so it was somewhat functional and decided the easier route would be just to replace the inner door panel that had the chrome handle already attached. Ordered a used inner door panel off ebay an...
MONSTALINER Bed Liner - Dodge Ram
Переглядів 77 тис.6 років тому
This weekend, I applied the MONSTALINER Roll-On Truck Bed & Utility Liner. It was fairly easy, just time consuming. The sanding is a necessary step but seems to go on forever. I used the scratch pad the kit came with and also some 220 grit sandpaper. 120-180 grit is recommended but only had 220 in my toolbox so I had to scratch the paint a little more. Dry time is dependant on humidity and temp...
Installing A New Serpentine Belt Dodge Ram 1500 - 4th Gen

Recently hit 100,000 miles on the truck, so decided it was a good time to replace the timing belt. The install was super easy and it made for a short video that I hope will be helpful.
Installing Factory Tow Hooks - Dodge Ram Sport - 4th Gen
Переглядів 83 тис.6 років тому
Today I installed the factory tow hooks on the truck. If you decide to try the install on your truck, be sure to do your own measurements on the cardboard. I started with about 6" rectangle for the tow hook clearance and 11" from the inside edge of the tow hook to the end of the cardboard and ended up tweaking both measurements to my liking.

Upgrading Sun Visors w/ Vanity Mirror Lights - Dodge Ram 4th Gen
Переглядів 28 тис.6 років тому
Upgrading the sun visors was not as easy as I thought it would be. It ended up not being the plug & play project that I wanted. I could not find one of the plugs above the headliner, so I ended up splicing the wiring harness to make it work. Almost even gave up at one point.

    Great video! Helps a lot! The factory L-bracket seems problematic with the Sport bumper. I have the factory L-brackets which has guide pins and it causes the hooks to be too low and rub against the lower part of the opening of the bumper. Your (Jack's) self-made L-bracket appears to allow the hook to sit higher in order to clear the bumper. The video helps me with the amount modify the factory bracket to fit the sport bumper. For people who have the factory L-bracket, you may need to modify it by lowering the holes and ignoring the guide pin or fabricating a new bracket like Jack's to bring the hook up by about 1/2 inch to fit without rubbing. Thanks for a very informative video!

    It appears that there are two different kits available for the 4th Gen Rams (DT). Mopar part # 82214870AB is for model years 16-17 and is also the one that you should use for previous years as well. For 2018 the kit was updated to include a bed mounted switch, Mopar part # 82215795AC. These two kits will also work on the Ram 1500 Classic and Ram HD 2500, 3500 models up to the currant model year. There is also a 3rd kit available for the 5th Gen Ram 1500's (DS) 2019 up to the currant model year , Mopar part # 82215272AC.

    This is wrong. You leave about a 1/2 inch gap on the paint side, you don't tape right against the edge like you do in your house when painting trim etc. When you pull it away it will split perfectly right along and edge with no need of an exacto knife.

    If you want a bling looking cover, paint bright verticle stripes on the stock cover. A stock cover works better with oil flow than a flat cover. Unless the cover is really designed to cool, it does nothing. I put an OEM style MAX TOW Ram cover on my AAM 11.5, and its cooling fins are 4 inches and the whole cover has deep fins. It is rounded, and it directs oil flow properly in the pumpkin. Excess oil anount offered by those flat covers, promoted by the manufacturer as an advantage, just adds pararsitic drag, and heat from it being churned by the gears. So the dont coolt well, they churn up the oil making it wear out sooner, add parasitic drag so the mpg goes down. And they dont promote good oil flow to the outer bearings.
