Passed smog. Now I can forget about it for 2 years.
It's 10 degrees outside my house. But at least I don't have to deal with emissions.

Pros and cons. I took it again this evening to check the current tune. All is good so I can chase down my buddies Charger again.It's 10 degrees outside my house. But at least I don't have to deal with emissions.
I thought I'd tackle the simple task of replacing the old convertible Rams with new ones. I got new Rams in and now realize I'm not sure how to bleed the dang thing. I ran out of time for today, so this is how the car is going to sit till I get some more time to work on it.View attachment 1535731View attachment 1535732

First time dealing with the failed convertible Rams. Earlier in the year I had a the top replaced (it was leaking in the back and at the a-pillar). It worked a total of about 5 times before the Rams failed. Prior to that I did tear into the car to air it out after encountering a flooded floor board in back.

It was the driver's side for me. The issue that time was a clogged drain. I cleared it out and haven't encountered that issue since.Was is the passenger rear floorboard that flooded?

No bleeding necessary. Just fill the pump, cycle the top up and down several times, refill the pump, cycle several times, fill pump.I thought I'd tackle the simple task of replacing the old convertible Rams with new ones.

Do this until when you check the pump after cycling, it's still full. The only real bitch is getting that plug for filling the pump back in every time. Pain. In. The. Ass.
Where was that drain? My right rear floorboard gets wet randomly after raining and one time flooded

Cool - I was a little concerned at this step. I did fill the pump up and then tried to put the plug back in for a good 10 minutes before I realized I should probably bleed this thing first. I wasn't sure if it was pressurized to where it would spit all the fluid back out or not. I'm not looking forward to putting that plug back in....
It's in the pinch weld, right in front of the back wheels. If you look under - you will see there is a small spot that has a little hole in it. I took a small drill bit and cleared what I could and then followed it up with a pipe cleaner.
The issue is the rail doesn't drain fast enough if it is clogged and there are holes just a little higher were the water overflows in the back floor board. I did also cover up the those holes a bit while the carpet was pulled back.
