 I ordered four from the same seller with the same photo.  We'll see!  I need tires for inspection, which was up in 4/21 :o.

Back seat too? Reseal 3rd brake light.

I went iPad mini Navi on the Utah trip, I don’t think I’ll go back.

Just front passenger floor.  I'll check it today to see if any got in with last nights rain. 

I installed new door seals and cab lights last year.

I tried a few different OBD2 apps trying to get trans temp.  Apparently, there isn't any factory monitoring for this gen RAM?  Forums seem to overwhemingly recommend this clamp on trans line gismo https://www.genosgarage.com/product/acutemp-adapter/gauge-related.

Floor soaked.  Wet all they way up to the firewall, so I have some direction, i guess...

Executed the above windshield holder-upper reseal.  It was dried out and there is literally a scoop right below it for hvac intake.  It seems unlikely that enough rain could go through that little hole to soak the carpet but, we'll see.  Then again, I couldn't believe the amount of water coming in from the cab lights.

Wheels arrived and are in good condition.  I can’t decide, black or sliver?  I’m leaning toward black, I like black with the chrome center cap look.
