    The wife’s 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited felt left out during Christmas.......

    ......so I bought it a new radiator. I guess the wife’s 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited felt left out for Christmas, so it started crying MoPar 10 yr / 150k coolant out of the left side plastic tanks. Kinda sucks as it only has 67,322 miles on it. I sourced a new Murray Temperature Control...

    Remember those affected by the deadly tornado that traveled through nearly 200 miles of KY.....

    Please remember all of the lost life, damage, destruction, and heartache for those along the path of the tornado that ripped through The Blue Grass State. Our Governor is currently on The Weather Channel and the damage is unbelievable.

    White Lightning gets a new fan clutch......

    I encountered an issue with my fan clutch beginning last Friday. Seems as if it wanted to stay engaged at what appeared to be 100%, based on the roaring noise while at idle and going down the road. This morning it was at 100% for a solid 20 miles on a cold engine......In any event, I decided a...

    New Diode Dynamics fog lights for White Lightning

    Finally got around to installing these in my 2018 RAM 4500. I went with the DD6679’s in SS3 White SAE fog variety. The lighting is of great quality, instructions are clear, and the brackets are amazing. I took advantage of their discount code when I ordered on July 9th...

    Multiple RAM HD trucks suffer extensive transportation damage.....

    I can’t take credit for this video, but a guy over on CF posted it up a few hours ago. Original count was 36, until another guy posted there were 13 more on the backside of the storage lot, a storage lot shared by the big three.

    6.7L Cummins Air Filter Revision...53034051AB is now 68517554AA

    I’ve recently added some shelving in my garage and with the current time delays in sourcing even some of the simplest maintenance items, I’ve decided to keep on hand three DBL7349 oil filters, three complete sets of 2013 through 2018 style Cummins, MoPar, or Parker-RACOR fuel filters, three...

    Awesome tow bed from Utility Body Werks in Elkhart, IN.

    Beginning last October 2020, I was contacted by a friend to transport his 2013 RAM 3500 Crew Cab DRW Laramie from Charleston, SC to Elkhart, IN. The RAM 3500 was getting a totally new paint job in Charleston, which wound up being completed around January 27th or so this year. The bed was...

    I think someone clicked EVERY box on this 2020 Tradesman 3500 DRW at $70,875.00

    I have a friend in Robertsdale, AL just Tuesday purchase a loaded up Tradesman 3500 DRW at about $65,000 MSRP. Just this evening, I located this one on Auto Trader at a dealership in Chattanooga, TN. It comes in at $70,875.00......and I think every box was checked on this ordered unit. :eek...

    One of the most unusual GatorMade builds I’ve hauled.....

    I left out around 10:00 am this morning for S&S Tire in Lexington, KY for four new P265/50R20 Goodyear Fortera HL’s for the wife’s 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. Naturally.....after arriving there somewhere around 11:15, I got a text message requesting my services at 11:30 for delivering a...

    Unusual “squealing” noise on deceleration

    On January 17th, I left out for what would turn into a 5,980 mile hauling extravaganza. During my time on the road, White Lightning developed a “squealing” noise on deceleration......almost exactly around the same time the exhaust brake began engaging. Lightly touch the accelerator and get back...

    Interesting observation regarding my ITBC during a roadside inspection....

    This past Friday, I was returning from Spiro, OK with a stack of three gooseneck trailers for a customer in Mt Sterling, KY. Near the 111 mile marker on I-40 in TN, just a little east of Wildersville, TN, I was the lucky recipient :D of a Level 1 roadside inspection courtesy of a TN CVE Officer...

    White Lightning gets new coolant and a new water pump today.....

    My 2018 RAM 4500 is at 148,815 miles and 2,630 drive hours. Since it was close enough to the 150,000 mile mark, I decided to go ahead and drop the coolant a little early. A few weeks ago, I’d given some serious thought to simply going ahead and changing out the water pump as well. My 2014 RAM...

    P2459....DPF Regeneration Frequency High

    Just this past Wednesday, I ran into an issue regarding excessive regeneration with the ol’ 4500 on a trip to Salisbury, NC. I had another run to Knox, IN Thursday and called Ken at Tom O’Brien RAM in Indianapolis, IN on Friday. He has a great tech there named Matt. He worked hard on trying to...

    A little love for White Lightning.......

    Just this week, I decided I’d throw a little love at White Lightning in the form of a PML AS69RC Deep Transmission Pan. https://www.yourcovers.com/transpan_11142.php I ordered it Sunday night, and it arrived today. I’m currently at 102,400 miles, but 120,000 miles will be here before ya know...

    Stick a fork in it.....it’s DONE!

    And no, my transfer case has not imploded. :D After a mere 299 Days (9 months and 24 Days) I have successfully extinguished my 5 yr / 100,000 mile powertrain warranty on my 2018 RAM 4500 Cab & Chassis. I’ve been very pleased with the overall performance of this rig......and I’m looking forward...

    Real world fuel economy figures—-2018 RAM 4500 Cab & Chassis

    Since fuelly.com does not support anything above a RAM 3500 truck, I kinda gave up tracking my fuel economy, fuel purchases, average mpg, etc. in regards to my 4500. A friend of mine in Corydon, IN and I were having a conversation about it a few weeks ago, and he told me about an app called...

    First 60k Servicing of the AS69RC In My 2018 RAM 4500 Cab & Chassis

    Serviced the ol’ AS69RC in the 4500 Cab & Chassis today. Not sure if the crossmember has been changed or if it’s a 4500 thang, but I was able to get a direct shot at those 4 pesky transmission pan bolts closest to the crossmember without even using a universal or swivel. Not lowering the...
