Depends...

Depends...

If I get to needing those, I wouldn't go with the 'depends', I would get the 'forsures"

Actual video showing real time Drain Bamage. Says so right on it

Since this thread is already off the rails

Agreed. If I had an exposed damper, then I would be horrified with shame and embarrassment. ?

I think you probably don't have to worry about the damper causing any of that, you obviously haven't seen the forum restroom wall scribes handy work yet...

This my after market addition.

When I ordered my truck I had the dealer do some work before I got it. One thing they mentioned they would look at price and availability was the TGD. I said sure, let me know.

Skip ahead a few days, I was still employed and had a 2021 Ram out one night, which we had to load some crap into. I get around the back, pop it open and was awestruck by the slow dance of the tailgate as it came down. For a moment I was in love, but in the following seconds that honeymoon ended and I was annoyed standing out in the cold, watching the tailgate be "helpful".

The Service manger texts me a photo a few days later quoting $182 for the TGD? I said no, because after one use, I knew it was not for me. When I noticed the price I took a closer look.
