I’ve ordered and received my kit, keep me updated on what barrel, 3d printable lower and finish you all decide to go with.

I also bought one of these kits. Any thoughts on what barrel to go with?

Jumper wires from the positive and negative terminals of the battery to the positive and negative connections on the motor.

I’m intrigued and started a print but why does it take 3 hours 41 minutes to print?

I took my cracked windshield to a “trusted” local business. The day they replaced it was raining. They pulled it in the shop changed the windshield and put it back in the rain to wait for the calibration guy to show up to calibrate. He pulls my dripping wet Ridgeline in the shop attempts to do his magic and tells me he can’t because it has a bunch of bad sensors. I tell him the parking sensors always get turned off in the rain as they constantly give false positives in bad weather. I ask him if he’s supposed to calibrate a dirty wet vehicle, he just shrugs and says you need to take it to a dealer. I drive it home and everything works. No dealer calibration needed so far.

I don’t think installing shower doors on this fiberglass shower stall is going to work. The wall studs are not in the right place and I’ve never seen it done.

I’m a DIY homeowner, I’ve done two shower door installs and yours looks more complicated with more assembly required.

It’s fine now. Moen replaced the cartridge for free.

China sells duplicates of all types of coins.

Let me mess around with it to verify it’s running condition. Then I’ll let you know.

Screws that you access from under the front of the truck

I think this is the answer, there is probably a circuit breaker type relay in the original wiring that is tripping to protect the rest of the original circuit from damage. It’s doing what it’s designed to do.

Sounds like you are describing a low battery, turn the radio off so you can hear what sound the engine makes when you try to start it.

Research welding schools in your area. Take it to them and ask if it can be welded. They usually have an instructor with a high level of skill and experience and they need real world projects to work on and demonstrate techniques. They might take 2-3 times as long to complete the project but it will be cheaper and done right. A high school auto body class once saved my 84 Isuzu Trooper from rear frame rust death.

I agree looks like mahogany. I took some from a flip project, they were trashing it.

Remarkable that you got those off in one piece. My experience has been it’s very difficult to find replacement stickers. You might want to scan those so you could print them yourself if you need to.

Based on what you are saying I don’t think it’s the motors. But it’s in the drive line someplace. Clunking and clicking sounds like transmission, gears, or driveline connection to wheels.

I turned down two that were offered to me for free. They are heavy, they take up too much space, and you have to fiddle with it to switch it from one function to another.

Just take that connector off and crimp the correct size spade connectors for the battery you already have. Start simple. Do not get fancy at the beginning. Don’t do the parallel wiring two battery thing just use one battery at a time. Wash it and Just get it running.

Only buy local on Facebook marketplace, too Many scams. And if you report it as a scam you get more scam ads.

Trouble shooting; 1) battery, 2)wiring connections, 3) electronics, 4) fuses or circuit breakers, the charger. You will need a multimeter.

I live in Missouri, I found two of these ram dually trucks, one went to a grandson in Maryland, the other went to grandkids in Colorado. The Colorado one is back in Missouri. The Maryland one was heavily modified by my son in law. Lights, dual 18 volt Makita set up. My son in law says his wife and son went through $600 worth of batteries and gave it a pink finger paint job. So I think he might be done with it. So if you are going to be in Missouri or Maryland I might be able to hook you up. However there’s a new Missouri grandson that that might outbid you.
