I put the hitch in the bed so I can haul her one last time this year. Too bad it's going in for service and not something fun

I sure wish you lived up here! I had to redo the kitchen backsplash last weekend.

It didn't all happen today, but over the last few weeks. Repaired coolant leak, replaced 2 fuel lines (it's a diesel), oil change with a new oil filter and fuel filter, got a new set of tires and a front end alignment, and a bath.

[Midnightmoon]

Yesterday I did an oil change, changed the fuel filters, air filter, etc. Cleaned the terminals on both batteries and gave the truck a good once over.

Found a couple of rust bubbles starting on one bedside. Not uncommon for an almost 11 year old truck, but still frustrating. I'm anal about maintaining my vehicles and even with the Ziebart rust proofing, the road chemicals are starting to win. I hate living in the rust belt.

here is the before and after....


The backup lights light the whole side of the trailer when backing up... this is like the best upgrade I have ever done... also they are power fold...

Those are very similar to the pair I originally wanted to get. I liked the idea of that backup/courtesy light but 1aauto told me that pair wouldn't work with my truck. The pair I ultimately went with has everything but that light.

Did you have to hardware anything additional for those? All of the connectors on mine matched so it was very easy. I do need to hard wire the amber courtesy lamp (under the turn signal on the outer edge of the mirror) back to the running lights and haven't quite decide where to tie into that yet.

look great.

no courtesy light it is backup only.. For a $300 plug and play harness I just tapped into the rear backup light and the running lights on the rear tail light.. $5 in parts and wire.. the rest was plug and play as I had all the other trinkets in my little mirrors, defrost, blinkers, power fold and memory.


I had to add a wire on the right mirror to the left mirror for the running lights.. that was an easy threading from side to side and a run through the boot.. turned out when they assembled it they didn't have door boot on correctly on the passenger side so I got to fix that too...

1aaauto carries these? I could only find them at one place out of FL... the actual GM ones...

The mirrors were only for 2014's and newer.. I have seen one person with these on their older style body... so the do "fit".

I checked the oil and set the air in the tires. It hauls the camper to Texas Motor Speedway Wednesday.

These are the mirrors from 1aauto.com (don't know if they have all the same features as yours) that I wanted to buy originally. They didn't have all the bells and whistles my OE mirrors had so I had to change to the ones I ended up getting. They would definitely "fit" physically but I would have had to cut the connector(s) off and cross-walk each wire to the correct pin to prevent it from malfunctioning. In changing mirrors, I added power fold and a couple other features and only really lost the backup light. I'm happy with them so far but they took a bit of getting used to, especially when pulling the TT.

because you could see your trailer and around it???? ;o))

[LiftedAWDAstro]

Sprayed the entire underside with Fluid Film. I plan to keep this one a while so I want to ward off the rust demons.

[norty1]

Washed it and checked tire pressure.

Yesterday I replaced the factory rubber bump stops on my 2016 Ram 1500 with a Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System from eTrailer. I figured I couldn't go too far wrong with over a thousand reviews giving them a 4.7 rating on a 1-5 scale.

Before my truck would squat down like it had a ton of bricks in the bed, even though my trailer would only put about 850 lbs on the hitch.

With the Timbren rubber springs installed, the bed has to go down a little over an inch to make contact, so I'm not seeing any difference with normal driving. I haven't put a load on yet but am hoping the truck will at least sit level with the trailer attached.

By the way, it only took about 30 minutes to install them. No special tools were needed.

Swapped over to my winter wheels and tires. Stock chrome steelies and Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's.

On a side note, the stock Firestone Destination AT's look to be more than 1/2 worn with 10,687 miles on them!
