Mine was cracked in my old 3rd gen. The owner before me put jb weld on it to cover it up. Never gave me any issues but scared the shit out of me when I saw it for the first time.
Get Optimal Welding to tune it. Should be able to see over 500whp with his tuning (the way it sits). If you have access to a dyno that's even better! Definitely looking forward to more videos on this truck.
If it's in the budget do air suspension. Honestly digging how it looks now with the height and wheel/tire combo. You could have the best of both worlds. I'd like to go the route eventually.
You got 1 hell of a deal on that thing. I'm in PA too and near me atleast that thing would be going for $15k easy. It would be $20k is it had higher miles. Lol. Typical Dodge rust.
Just leave it how it is. I bought my 5.9 in 06 brand new and have left it stock except for efi live tune. That’s all I have done and I have had no issues with it. Like none at all. I don’t drive fast I tow heavy things almost every other day it’s a manual drive can’t really complain. I’ve seen all these upgrades that end up failing. 🤦♂️. Well that’s my penny. Nice color truck also. 😁
Hahaha this truck has good potential to be a work/daily. The wheels are sick but why do you do this to yourself man😂 it looks like they make life so hard atleast level it!! I recommend toyo open country AT2’s I have them on my Cummins and they are awesome👍🏻 awesome vids
That film is from engine dress up that these 2nd hand car dealers/auctions spray all over everything to make the truck look shiny. My 05 has it all over the motor and it eventually flakes off
Blow it up the get a refreshed engine for a daily
Carli Leveling kit is a must. Rides like a dream after
Can’t wait to get mine on my new truck. 🤤
Price ugly tho lol
Not knocking on your truck. I have a 07 3rd Gen 5.9, but is the trans bell housing cracked? 4:37
Looks like it

The film on the engine is a factory coating that was applied. Over the years it yellows and starts to peel and look like crap.
facts
Definitely looks like your bell housing is cracked 😂
That a kuhmo woodburner?
Carli full suspension make a pre runner out of it
When you do your front end make sure you upgrade to t style from New ram it's direct bolt on
Pretty sure that big plug you thought was for a plow is a jumper cable plug in. I’ve seen the same on another truck
Awesome project...👍🏼...I address the leaks first.. Aloha 🤙🏽
These are all time longevity trucks when maintained for properly 😁💪💪👍👍👏🏼🙌🏼👌👌💯🔥🔥🔥
4:41 looks like a cracked bell housing. yikes.
I got the same truck in red and my passenger side rear rocker is all rusted the same way
Hate to be that guy, but what kinda rims are those?
New sub to follow this build and truck!!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
coming back soon

slap a new bed on, paint her red and boom tripled my money 😂😂 ill be another one of those " i know what i have guys" lol
@@TopCorey didn't doubt that. Was more envious of the fact.
I have the same film on my engine and I want to figure out what it is
have you try cleaning it with a red scotch brite and some aluminum wheel cleaner? worked really well for me now its all grey like factory
@@127rider hmm I literally painted mine black. I cleaned it with a wire brush
Pressure clean the engine
What size wheels?
22x12 on 35x12.50s
Rip to that poor sway bar link

Forces on a clapped dodge is like putting lipstick a pig!
