    On today’s installment of the build we get to play with my new toy, an autel maxipro mp808ts, & we use it to program the fog light feature on Big Sexy. My truck is an SLT model that originally came without fog lights. I installed a new harness & fog lights but needed programing to turn the feature on. Dodge dealer wanted $200 to program, so I bought my own.

    Update to my build thread.
    1) replaced driver front window with a used oem window because the previous one was cracked
    2) replaced both side mirrors because driver was non functioning oem & passenger was aftermarket that was shakier than our economy
    3) topped her off with diesel because $2.57/g


    Tomorrow she gets a Kenwood double din & rear view camera.

    Saturday will be new Infinity door speakers & a complete interior detail & wash.

    In July she heads off to paint.

    Welcome back to my build thread. Today is the life of Big Sexy

    Good:
    1) new tints
    2) full interior detail
    3) exterior wash (first wash since I have owned it)

    Bad:
    1) water pump took a dump
    2) radiator took a dump
    3) rear passenger latch broke & the damn door wont close securely

    New aluminum 3 row radiator & cummins oem water pump are on their way. She should be operational again in a week or two

    Talk about a toxic relationship!

    Put new bars on the wife's bike last night. She decided she like the xr50 bend I put on mine, so I put a set on hers. Took a pic of them side by side when I finished...oh and smoked some chicken wings for a late dinner yesterday.

    The texture on the drivers side panel was rubbed smooth from the previous owner, so that one I was only able to regain the color. On all the others the texture remained & the original color resurfaced
