Nothing beats swapping a pair of drive shafts outside, during a 14F (-10C) snow storm :D

We maintain a cozy temperature of 60-65F (16-18C) in the shop during winter time. With a hoodie, it's warm enough.

As for the wiring, i am going to get rid of everything i did so far and restore the factory wiring harness for all of the body lighting. Why is that? Mopar came around with a stand alone engine harness for the 6.4 engines, including everything you need to run that engine.

Holy cow, this thread was dead. Giving you a quick update hereby. The project ground to a halt when i goofed up the front suspension: I did not know where to go from here... then some real-life **** happened and cost me another month to figure it out and fix my head. Now i am slowly getting...

HEADACHES IT IS GIVING ME! Honestly, what they do to generate the fault signal for the tail lamps is not too complicated. BUT: I can't have more than 0.4 amps on the park lamp wire, which is why the BCM shut it down all the time. Was not a problem with the fault signal, but with the amps an...

Good info! Thank you. I am looking into 6.1 Cherokee oil pans at the moment... i think it would fit.

Witness me cutting up 200 dollars worth of tail light: Forget the heat gun. Use real tools instead. And that's when stuff really went snowballin' on me. One circuit board after the other came out of this thing like there is no end! And i could not help myself and played with it a bit...

The Ram oil pan is steel, i would prefer aluminum if possible.

Hi there, i am looking for an OEM rear sump oil pan for my 2015 6.4. Unfortunately, the donor vehicle i had in mind (Cherokee SRT 6.4) has a front sump too. Idk where i but i once saw a OEM rear sump oil pan that idk if it would fit a 6.4 as well. Can anyone school me on what parts could be...

Shoot... I thought i had bought tail lamp "led lamp" inserts... it turns out it was just a pair of license lamps i bought. Not reading the Ebay offer properly, i guess. Anyhow, i needed one of those. I was able to snag a complete tail light (only need one side to disect the circuit board) and a...

Spot the difference: I had the LCA angled to the wrong side in relation to the centerline of the frame... bozo move. No everything wanted to go where i first saw it going when i mocked up the LCA on a bucket and just shoved that under the frame... Hearthrobbingly i began cutting the bump...

I built this contrapment: It locates everything in its stock Ram 1500 specs, adjusted to the aproximate ride height of my truck so i can just push it under the engine crossmember and start building frame attachments. Well, no. In stock form the inner axis of the LCA of the Ram 1500 is on...

I think that's so awesome: And at the end of lots of making of waste parts, i think i am close to beeing done. All i need is a 50cm flat flex cable and additional wiring to the hazard switch and horn. Oh and i need to figure out, how the BCM wants its horns honked. And i also made a...

That's too small. For example: The Challengers wiring harness has a large 2/0 cable running from the trunk mounted battery to the front power distribution block (situated in the engine bay). That's like 70mm². It definitely uses way more power than your project but i would at least double the...

Not going to happen. I don't like it any more. First things first. I will have to look into building the chassis soon, i took delivery of the 6" drop coils from Early Classic (Chevy stuff) and the trailing arm bushings. I intentionally went with rubber bushings for compliance. This thing will...
