Hey man what made you choose the 3 way? Im confuse . Does the 2 way be enough? What happen to the rear door did you change it to? How did the tweeter on the dasboard compliment the overall sound? Some told me to put 2 way
The dash tweeters are a day and night improvement I highly recommend. I had the 3 way infinity in the front but they did to have improved sound. Because it’s used as a mid bass speaker. So I move these to the rear and put full range style in the front. I have another video on that.
Why not make access panel??
@@desertdog01 Not for me. I’m not butchering up my truck.
Bro what is the difference between 9633 and 9632 . Is the 9633 newer?
Nice job on the video! Thanks for using the Summit diff cover!
@@SummitRacing Thanks!
I have always liked the aftermarket covers. Great info on the install. 👍
Thanks for posting this video! Very informative and helpful! I've got an '09 Dodge Ram with 165K miles and I need to change my fuel pump too. No problems yet but I need to replace it before I'm left stranded somewhere. Thanks again!
@@VanMcDowell Thx!
How do you wire up the oil pressure switch on the power steering gearbox after you delete all the unnecessary stuff out of the wiring harness? Thanks
@@DADDYCOKE2012 This one did not have an oil pressure switch on the P/S.
@4:50 Bless you!
Yea , i cut a nice hole in my bed and it works perfectly. My tool box sits over it along with my 20 gallon fresh water tank. No crawling around on the ground in the dirt or snow or heat . No swearing or cussing, just smiles .
I've got an '09 Dodge Ram with 165K miles and I'm getting ready to change my original fuel pump out too. Hasn't failed yet but I'm sure it could happen any time. I've heard about guys cutting a hole in the bed to access the fuel tank and thought about doing that too. Seems that it would be a lot easier and quicker. Was it hard to do that? Thanks! Van McDowell - Georgia
@@VanMcDowell Only on my single cab short bed.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Shalom Brother...keep up the good work! I have a couple of projects i'm working on as well. 77 corvette and 83 Squarebody
Noticed where all the parts were made. Truck was assembled in Mexico. Lazy Americans just wait on free check in the mail box.
Great video and good luck 👍 with the Donk
@@Antonio-nc2be Thanks Bro!
Nice I went with the kenwood components 6x9 in the doors and the 3 1/2 on the dash really happy
Yeah looks like things are working out good there Fred.
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Yes Sir!
Nice work Fred.
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Thx!
I have a 73 also, what’s the part number. If you don’t mind sir
@@bossman6449 I put it in the comments.
@@bossman6449 I have it listed in the description.
Thanks for the quick fix version from underneath. Saved me alot of extra work and hastle. Keep up the great work.
@@WilliamRichards-y1e No Problem
❤
Much better quality. Looks great to.
Yes they are nice, it's Definitely worth it after getting the car up and running and driving it.
Nicely done!
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Thx!
I made the same upgrades. It's much better than stock. The system needs more power. Great video!
@@cm12068 Thanks!
Great progress Mr. Kool!
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Thanks! the car has been done for some time now just got to edit the rest of the footage.
@@KoolFredsGarage Kool ! I'm waiting on a Ford 9-in. I have a 56 Chevy rear end in my car. Doing a lot of body work right now. It just takes time. It's all good. I keep saying this summer I will be driving the car. Well not this summer. 🫣
Hello, fred. I am a supplier of brake accessories, I have my own factory, if you have any products you need can contact me, and can you customize the products
Do you have a website I can ck out to see what u available.

@@KoolFredsGarage look forward to your coming
Can you tell me your experience with the dash corner speakers, i saw some bad reviews on infinity about they distorted around mid level volume.
@@edwingrodriguez3214 I did not use the tweeters or the crossovers I. This kit. For the corner das speakers I used the Infiniti Reference 3032CFX. They are super clear and are. Day/ night difference from The stock ones. Concert style highs.
@@KoolFredsGarage thank you , that's what I needed to know
@@edwingrodriguez3214 no distortion very clear that’s for the 3032cfx & my truck has the upgraded Alpine sound sys from factory. The standard sys may sound different.
@@KoolFredsGarage you were right ,they sound amazing with the alpine system, thanks
@@edwingrodriguez3214 No Problem!
Ready for part 2 🔥
Todd over at TCE Performance has some very nice Willwood brake kits for your car a 16” 15” , and a 14” 6 piston front kit , I have his 15” kit.
Yeah I know about those. I wanted a parking brake kit for the rear. I may consider if I decide to upgrade the front. Thanks!
did you use an amplifier or was the stereo sufficient?
@@TheHalusis I just used the factory system. It is sufficient. The truck already has the upgraded Alpine system.
@@KoolFredsGarage thx, i did some research as well. been a min since i messed around with sound systems
🔥
Tuned in keep the projects coming very informative 🏎️
Nice job fred! 👍
Thanks!
Looks great Fred! Lot of fun putting upgrades on your car that's for sure.
@@VinoRatRodbuilds Thanks! A bit of modifying but everything worked out perfect.
Yeah we don't have a tractor supply. But I have found Ace hardware is really good with their bolt selection. 👍
@@VinoRatRodbuilds I’ve used bolts from Ace too, Quality stuff Just don’t get to go often Because they’re further away.
More videos pls ❤️🔥❤️🔥
OTW! They’re coming soon!
Very informative ❤

Nice video an good looking truck
Thx!
Can we get some driving footage bro
There is 1 on my channel from last year. I’ll get some more soon.
I got the some fan and it so loud
I noticed that to from time to time it’s usually on a hot day.
I am debating whether to switch to the mopar one or not.
Yeah have the same problem
Great video thanks Bra!
Thx!
Looks like a good upgrade.
So far they are a good upgrade. The car is done now. I’ll have more footage in upcoming vidoes.
❤ amazing video very informative. We are tuned into the series. This is amazing. Keep it coming.
Thanks!
Good Vid/Tutorial! Doing mine now. Quoted price was around $800 from shop. Doing mine for $320 inculding belt, thermostat, pump, and flush
Thanks! It’s always good to save some money and do it yourself.
Looking to replace my clutch fan with a set of dual electric fans. How does the set you have work? I have the same exact radiator. Do you mind linking me to those and the shroud. Thanks in advance and great video!
Thanks! The fans are from monster cooling on eBay a duel 12” w/shroud. We added them to a newly replaced stock style radiator. They cool well. If you are using a/c I’d recommend spal fans.
The fan controller is from the autocool guy.
@@KoolFredsGarage Ok, thanks! Right now with the clutch fan, the a/c gets down to 40° and the temp hangs at around 195°-200°. So the spal fans cool better? I definitely want to go more modern and get rid of the old faithful, hoping I could gain just a bit more HP. I’ll check those out.
@@PrimeG2 That’s not bad numbers with the stock set up though.
❤❤
What was your total job time on this?
Around 4hrs to complete.
This so cool
Thanks!
Thanks!
Yep it can get expensive run a pull set.
Awesome video glad 2 have seen it. 👍
