Yep. 4” to 7” diameter and 15” long. The link to the tip I ordered is in the description.

@@HarrisonsGarage sweet thanks so much for the quick reply glad I came across your Chanel looks great going to order now

Dm me on Instagram @harrisons.garage.

I didn’t see any messages on Instagram and wanted to get some kind of response to you. We can talk in more detail on my Instagram chat. I would start by making sure that coolant is not overfilled when the engine is off and cool. It sounds like the engine got hot and the coolant got hot and backflowed out of the tank/radiator. When you were towing up the hill, did the engine look like it was overheating or were temps normal?

My mother drove it down the rode with water in the coolant tank (it was the best we could do) she had to stop after every mile to keep it from over heating, and she made it to a shop. Apparently a bolt had been rubbing a coolant house and put a hole in it causing almost all the coolant to fall out. Also I don't have instagram so that's why I didn't message you through there. The temp got up to 233 we were worried something really bad had happened and I panicked and thought of contacting you because all the shops nearby were closed and you are the best guy I knew to ask what to do. thank you for trying to help I apologize for the inconvenience, also we love the work you do it really is an amazing truck, I thank it will be fine now.

@@thatguyc8791 oh man I’m sorry that all happened. I’m glad you at least had water to top it off with. Out of curiosity was it a factory bolt that broke the hose? If so, I will look on my new Ram to see if that bolt is still there or if they have fixed the issue.

@@HarrisonsGarage I don't know about the bolt I wasn't there all I know is that the hose was to short and instead of going under the bolt the it was right next to it. So I would look out for hoses that are right next to bolts or any sharp metals and that are to tight, also your new ram is sick. 😁👍

I had a similar issue since when you first hang the platform on the columns it will likely not be in the same position as the hydraulic cylinder wants the platform to be. I remedied this by getting under the platform and leg pressing the plate attached to the piston and moving it manually to sufficiently extend the cables.

Having owned the 4xe I personally wouldn’t buy it again (gremlins and recalls haven’t been worth it for me). That said it’s a lot of fun otherwise. Glad you found it useful!

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it.

@@HarrisonsGarage I did only haters will not enjoy it.

First question: what year/make/model is your vehicle. I was surprised that I didn’t need a pin when I did this for my truck. Though I was able to secure one from my dealer easily enough.

​@@HarrisonsGarage Canadian 2019 Powerwagon. I was able to remove TPMS completely with Car Config section, but I'd still really like to see the PSI. I tried everything from 10 to 30 psi, none would relieve the light, and red tire pressure signs. Followed some of your other steps, including speedo - all worked perfect.

@@tanktheram Hm without knowing exactly what was done it’s hard for me to weigh in. I suggest reaching out to Alfa obd. I found them extremely helpful when I ran into an issue with resetting my speedometer.

​@@HarrisonsGarage Following your method, the dash would say "inflate to x psi" - whatever psi I set, but the light would still be on, numbers still in red, even though my pressure was far above the number which I just set. However disabling TPMS through car configuration worked.

Greatly appreciate your faith in my ability to do the job but right now I only work on friends/family vehicles. I’m not covered liability wise to do more than that. I’ll gladly help with any questions you may have in the process though.

@@HarrisonsGarage My truck is a 2023 Ram Power Wagon with the new digital instrument cluster. My question is, will the AlfaOBD work with this, or do I need to go with a different tuner? I do appreciate any info. Thank you.

@@danaberman6929 Hm I suggest reaching out to Alfa obd. I found them extremely helpful when I ran into an issue with resetting my speedometer. I also plan on using Alfa to do this on my new 23 dually and plan on contacting them in a couple months to ask the same question once my truck is lifted

Glad I could help!

​@@HarrisonsGarage worked perfect on my powerwagon. I'm on 35's, and AlfaOBD had a preloaded size for 35". Set it, did a road test against GPS and I'm within .5 km/h Thanks dude!

I did think about that. I’ve since utilized the banks a pillar mount which puts the gauges a bit lower. It wasn’t available when I first did huge install. I reasoned that the apillar bag deploys to cover the side window and therefore blows down rather than out. However I’m not sure how true that logic is and am mode comfortable now using my banks apillar mount.

@@HarrisonsGarage Okay was just wonder cause I have one I got from ortiz custom pods and it crossed my mind about the air bag lol incase there was an accident or something what would happen if the pillar bag went off. But you are right the pods sit lower and the bags above so dont think it would interfere with the gauges upon deployment. Thanks

@@m4xripper that’s my thought and hope at least. I definitely wouldn’t consider myself an authority on the airbag. In the end it was a calculated risk I chose to take.

9ft 2 inches. Glad the video helped!

I didn’t think about this question too much. I chose Firestone because the bags and cradle were sold together by CJC off road and I knew based on my conversations with them that they would work flawlessly with my lift (also purchased from CJC).

I thought so as well. I even went to the dealer to obtain one. When i did the procedure I was never actually requested to enter a pin and it worked without it.

@@HarrisonsGarage hmm.. wonder if they changed something. That’s good.

The trucks been awesome. Biggest issues I’ve had with it were the factory recalls. When towing the coil sprung rear and is a bit squirrelly through corners but not terrible. If you’re in the market, plan to tow a lot, and are better a 2500 and 3500 SRW, I’d go with the 3500.

I have a 3" lift on my truck.

I have a 3” lift as well which is why the cradle was necessary. I bought just the bags from CJC off-road for $625.88 www.cjcoffroad.com/collections/dodge-air-bags/products/firestone-ride-rite-2014-ram-2500-dodge-rear-air-bag-kit

I’ve gone through several sets of them. Each time trying new ways of preventing water from getting between the lense and housing to no avail. If you have cab lights from factory already I’d look into the option from boost auto parts. These lights worked great but I never found a real solution to the moisture ingress issue.

@@HarrisonsGarage I don't have lights. Do you get water in the cab?

@@JP_BowHunter no that was never an issue. The housing contours to the roof nicely. Even I installed each set I put a generous amount of silicon rtv on the holes. Never had even a single drop in the cab.

Sounds like you made your tires smaller by an inch. If that’s the case, your Speedo should say you’re going faster than you actually are by a bit. The first step to getting this fixed first try would be to drive with cruise control on at freeway speeds (I.e. set cruise to 70 and use a gps watch or similar to also record your speed). I’d imagine with your set up your gps watch would read 68 or so. Starting with the stock tire size and stock tire diameter in Alfa obd, you can set up a proportion to solve for the aftermarket diameter. Send me a message on Instagram @harrisons.garage and I’ll send you an example.

Optimum pressure for mpg will depend on a lot of variables (truck weight, road surface,etc). Generally the more air in the tire the less friction/contact patch you’ll have with the road and better economy you’ll see. Of course too much air means less traction and uneven wear (a bulge will cause the center to wear before the outer edges). I suggest adding 5 psi until it looks like the edges aren’t running on the road then backing it down 5 psi.

Did just fine in the rain. I ran into problems with snow though. When brushing snow off with a brush I found the bristles slightly scratched the surface.

@@HarrisonsGarage going back and forth on the Retrax One vs Pro XR. Sounds like I should maybe save up a bit more to spring for the Pro for some added durability.

@@EthanTripp320 I would. However with my experience with all kinds of bed covers over the years, nothing has beat the backflip

gotcha. ya I'm planning to mount cross bars over the bed (for bikes while towing a trailer) so don't think the backflip would support. open to suggestions tho, given that scenario. thanks for the replies, btw! @@HarrisonsGarage

@@EthanTripp320 yeah that makes sense then. Given that I would opt for the pro

That would vary depending on the specific part number for your vehicle. I believe I spent about 180 for mine

I just checked and it seems to be taking me to the correct part. DM me on Instagram @harrisons.garage and I can send you a screen shot of what I’m seeing

@@HarrisonsGarage Your link points to 1/8" Male NPT to 1/4 Female. ARB compressor has 1/8'' BSPT tread. NPT will not work for BSPT. I have found the correct adaptor on Amazon. It is HongBoW 2pcs 1/8 BSPT Male x 1/4 NPT Female Brass Pipe Fitting Adapter

Ah thanks for clarifying. For anyone else reading this here’s the correct link. a.co/d/2Dnaqzs

Yes for all the 4.5/5th gen trucks you’ll need the bypass cable. It’s easy to install; I recommend leaving it installed for any future work you may need as well

Thanks for that super fast reply! Appreciate it!

@@letsgobrandon7112 look me up on Instagram @harrisons.garage and send some photos when it’s done. I actually just purchased a black ‘23 mega cab dually that should be here next week.

Any IP67 rated light strip should work well. These are the ones I used. a.co/d/9EX40fc

I actually found them to be quieter than my pro comp MT2s but not as quiet as my Falken AT3W tires I’m running now.

The BF KO2s are super slippery in the rain.

It is always a hybrid sure but I definitely didn’t feel the same pick up when the battery ran down. It also displayed less power being drawn when accelerating when under 1% battery. I did this acceleration up a hill getting on the freeway. My guess it that it provides some power to the electric motor but not all 100hp since in e-save it tries to recharge the batteries and not use them.

@@HarrisonsGarage there is no loss in power we ran them at try he track to get actual times. It always puts out 375 HP because the battery enginge is always running there is a reserve that runs in hybrid . Now if you run in high you get more power but you use more gas. Jeep will give you specs on it but that electric is always running just not full electric .

Hey glad you found the video helpful. If I was to do it differently, I would have added a second pressure control module and plumbed the bags independently of each other. This wouldn’t really be needed unless towing at the limit of the truck but it would be nice to have. As far as the air bags go, a tank isn’t needed. I think it might actually prevent the pcm from working properly since it would fill the bags faster than the pcm could monitor/regulate the bags.

@@HarrisonsGarage thanks for your feedback. How about placing air tank on the line for filling up the tires, outside pcm? Have you ever considered it?

@@krzysztoforlowski6010 so yes. That I have also considered if you put the air tank in line outside the PCM then yes it would be worth doing for something like tires, or even an airhorn.

Hey I don’t work on other vehicles just because I’m not insured to and also at the moment don’t have the time but I’m happy to help with any questions you run into.

@@HarrisonsGarage ahh okay thank you! Great video- will try to follow!

I believe so - I disconnected my Tazer immediately because the electric charging system didn’t work with it plugged in. The changed I made remained saved.

I never ran into the issue with the parking sensors not working so I couldn’t say for sure. I’d recommend reaching out to Alfa obd directly. They were super helpful when I contacted them.

@@HarrisonsGarage what year is your Ram?

@@_h0nkyk0ng_ I’ve got a 2021 2500

Thanks for letting me know. Did you need a link to everything or just one thing in particular

Everything would be great@@HarrisonsGarage .Thanks

@@HarrisonsGarage Any chance to have these shorturl fixed? Thanks

@@krzysztoforlowski6010 yeah I plan to tonight or tomorrow. Had a bad case of food poisoning last night

@@HarrisonsGarage Sorry to hear that. Hope you feel better today.

That would be a good video idea but I didn’t want to find out if it got better or catastrophically failed with my or my friends cars. I suspect it would have improved slightly at lower heights but would have been a humpyy dumpy scenario up higher. I’ve actually just finished bolting it and am working on part 2 now. I can say I’m really glad I decided to bolt it. It’s solid as a rock now and much more confidence inspiring.

Haha it definitely does!

Glad it helped. It was definitely misleading in Alfa obd. Glad I helped.

Hey good observation. And yes. I noted this as well. I think it has to do more with the battery system voltage. Right when you turn on the truck the battery is usually around 11 or 12 volts. Once the alternator has a chance to kick on and supply 14 volts to the system it seems they brighten up. I’m not positive but that’s my guess.

@@HarrisonsGarage thanks for the feedback, just wanted to make sure it wasn’t just mine haha, do you happen to know what the harness is for that was used for power supply?

@@christianchacon5835 it’s been a while. I want to say it’s the headlights/sunlight sensor

Agreed. Between the procomp mt2s I ran before these and the Falken AT3ws I’m running now, the duratrac tires were best in snow and slush while the Falkens seem a touch better standing water. The falken’s are the quietest tire but while I ran them for 10k miles the duratracs weren’t much louder

I’m not familiar with that brand. I got these because my coils are 1.5 inches taller than stock and this setup is sold by my lift distributor and recommended to work with my specific lift
