@@wj2791 thank you! I wouldn’t frequently need an 8 ft bed and really loved the megacab on my 2500 so I went with it again on this truck.

Nope! Going from 33s factory to the 35s was a pretty minimal increase. If the electric motor had power it isn't noticeable. When the battery is dead, then its somewhat noticeable but not necessary to regear.

@@DavidMarkland-q8i hi hit me up on Instagram @harrisons.garage and I’ll get an image sent to you

@@BKrieg8 oh interesting new to me for sure. I switched to the boost auto cab lights for my new truck and am very pleased with them. No reseal needed and they have the added functionality of switch back turn signals

Yeah, I took one apart and resealed it with clear RTV silicone adhesive like you did, but I’m tempted to not touch the other 4 since I had to basically remove the black rubber gasket material that formed from the black RTV they used.

@@BKrieg8 if they’re using rtv now I would leave it as is. You can always resell it later if it fails.

Agreed. That’s my game plan. Thanks for the reply man. I just checked and boost doesn’t have them available for 2024 F250 yet. Just the solar powered ones I see. Anyhow great video content here and I appreciate your input.

@@CMFKeiley I believe that is an ABS code. After you changed the tire size, did you connect to the ABS module and run all of the programs listed in the ABS initialization Program list?

Yes sir, I did. I might try again after I turn it to Cali and back Saturday. Since I have no ABS light or Engine light on I wonder if it’s a soft residual code.

@@CMFKeiley if the lights aren’t on anymore I think you’re good. Your can try clearing the codes with Alfa and then checking to see if they’re still there.

Just checked back through my video at 4:53 I state the factory tire size. My wrangler which came with 33” tires was set to 32.67” from factory.

@@ramonmartinez4392 glad I could help!

@@boostautoparts thank you! Cab lights function extremely well and have had Zero issues with leaking. Very well built product.

@@HarrisonsGarage Awesome - love to hear it!

@@ThatGuy-ds9zi thank you for watching and glad it helped!

@@ToddThornton-p9v yes it does. If the headlights are set to auto, the cab lights automatically turn on when the headlights turn on.

@@HarrisonsGarage Thank you!

@@miketurecek1883 glad you were able to get it done without taking all those parts off!

@@Pat98300 I noticed a similar issue that you did with the closing but it wasn’t as extreme. Perhaps your rails could be adjusted to become closer together towards the tailgate end of the truck. Thinking the rails may have come out of alignment over time. I switched to a BAKFlip mx4 on my newest truck and regret it. The quality on the bakflip is not what it used to be. Made be grateful for the Retrax.

I had checked the adjustment and it seems to be ok but I will look at it again it’s nice because you can lock it up but since it started leaking I hate putting anything in it if I know bad weather is coming

@@davidcook3746 I agree. The 2023 and up model years come without the vinyl. Seems they wised up.

@@oahu_mopar that will depend on the year make and model of your truck. I recommend checking the fuse guide in your fuse box and look for the fuse marked marker light or cab light.

@@OneBadSixSeven Thank you! Wait till you see it with the lift on it. Hope you have that video up in the next month.

@@PrestonGladd certainly true. However my objective with this was to make it as factory looking as possible. I really wanted to keep the factory switch bank rather than have a switch pro or similar. If I did it again I’d go with a switchpro for the added functionality. I did this on my new truck and am glad I did. The install was much faster.

@@rockman7333 I believe it would though I don’t have any experience working on the half tons so I can’t say for sure. Since it is a 5th it likely will be.

@@HarrisonsGarage do u have an email or something I could send a picture of my wires that I have to see what u think are the corresponding wires for the 2500?

My lower connection clip is a smaller grey clip, with no green white wire, and no wire in pin 1. A black wire in pin 8, black wire in pin 7. And orange in pin 6. And a pink and yellow wire in pin 5

@@rockman7333 yeah you can send me a message on Instagram @harrisons.garage.

@@rockman7333 since the harnesses are different I’d recommend disconnecting the connector and using a volt/multimeter to check for current from each wire. You’re looking for a wire that gets current when you turn your headlights on.

@@justinholliday7785 Boost auto parts switchback tow mirror lights.

@@danielkrahn2520 there is no separate on/off switch to control the cab lights separately. By tapping into the wire, the cab lights automatically turn on anytime your headlights turn on. If you turn your headlights on manually using the factory controls, your cab lights will also turn on.

@@jenniferwilliams6358 I’ve noticed a trend in declining quality with covers in general. I just put a backflip mx4 on my new truck and it is similarly a total piece of junk. The backflip oil had 11 years ago before real truck bought the brand was excellent.

@@michaelablett368 thanks! I plan on keeping this one for 10+years at the moment. As I type this, I’ve got it in the shop getting a Kelderman air ride set up

@@ToddMcF2002 this was terrible with the how wobbly it was. Given I’m in earthquake country I wasn’t taking any chances.

@@HarrisonsGarage I'm getting the 407-P for the form factor. I'll probably bolt mine down. My last lift was a bit bigger than this unit. I made the mistake of standing on the lift and using it to work on the ceiling and it was super sketchy wobbling around!

@@ToddMcF2002 I’m really glad I bolted it down the way I did. It worked out great. I got the 407-P for the exact same reason (it’s super narrow).

Any updates on the lift. I’m considering buying a 407 p as well. Any pros and cons you could share?

@@mikesullivan8560 so far it’s working well though I haven’t yet received the car. Should be anytime now. That said I was able to test it with a Miata without any issue. I will say definitely plan to bolt it down. Once bolted it works flawlessly

@@filmforth6557 I certainly will! I’m unfortunately still waiting for the kit to be delivered from RCR. I was initially told April to May this year but that got walked out to end of July. I’m kind of thinking it will be closer to the end of August.

@@HarrisonsGarage thanks looking forward for the kit car thanks I have never seen any one make a GT40 before

@@filmforth6557 there’s a lot online on forums (gt40s.com) but not much in video format online. One of the best build series I know of on RUclips is by Andrew on his channel called Ratchet.

@@johnkraft5640 this is a modification I would like to do to my truck as well but haven’t yet gotten to it. From the reading I have done, alfaOBD can be used to adjust capacity BUT your DTE numbers will likely not report linearly because the factory fuel level sensor is not going to recognize the expanded capacity of the tank in the x or y direction. You can tell it the tank is larger and it will report a higher DTE but will likely not reduce this number until you begin to drop below 40 gallons. As you empty your tank further, the DTE will become more and more accurate.

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.

@@BeKindToFellowBrothers 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.
