Put some DRP/Alligator hyd. trans lines on the LBZ today. goodbye factory junk crimps! :woott:
"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?
- Thread starter Hot COCOAL
- Start date
Put 911 in my truck two days ago when it gel'd a little on me due to being -12*F. The following day it was -23 for a low and I didn't get a chance to plug it up to get it started when I got home. So today was first day
12" snow on the ground turning to slush with rain at 38*F today, so I shoveled my drive so that the 6" of slush don't turn to a solid 6" of ice tmrw when the temps go back below freezing.
Then I let the truck idle 15-20min & went for a test drive. All seems well.
I'm REALLY Jonesing for a 4x4 crew cab Ram 1500 w/ ecodiesel. The urge is even more intense after sitting in one & eyeball raping it at the NFMS last week. I'm considering getting my 02 in tip-top shape & seeing if I can get enough out of it to be able to afford one. We'll see. I'm just tired of DDing a car (been DDing a Jetta TDI for a cpl years but it's "totaled" now) but need better MPG than any of the HD trucks offer. The ecodiesel obviously isn't gonna be as cheap as the Jetta but would be a lot cheaper than DDing my 02 that averages 17ish MPG.

Attempted steering dampener today, destroyed a pickle fork and not a budge. Stupid thing, gonna bring it to a shop this week and break out the torch.
But, swamped the impact sensor out while I was down there, hurray for no more air bag light! :woott:

Been having issues with lights in the back. Front 4 2" lights got swapped out while ago.. Found couple corroded wires and places where dielectric grease came off and corroded contacts..
Now they all work and match. Probably add another amber for total of 4 later.

Swapped out the steering stabilizer this evening, and the truck gave me a lovely shard of rust in my eye
Safety glasses help deter that unpleasant feeling :thumb:
