This dudes energy is intoxicating. Love what you do, bro.
Tommy Boy?
Super badass truck. Love the 40's.
Thanks!
your tax write off you call a truck has to be the most bad ass looking rig out there. it's clean like a raptor, yet makes the raptor look like a zr2 colorado. lol.
seriously, ram should sell that package. pure gold. Love the attention to detail and that color is amazing.
all you need is a nice looking roof rack and Baja bed rack.
Saludos desde colombia . tienen alguna persona que hable español ? necesito comprar unos accesorios
Firestarter there will be another update vid soon it has a lot of those things you mentioned.
Diesel Power Products awesome. subbed to see how it turns out.
did you consider staun (coyote enterprises) internal beadlocks? any balancing problems?
Firestarter We've used them before, they are great. The Machette crawl that was picked for this build was chosen for this build works perfect.
Diesel Power Products could this setup be done to a 3500 mega cab with the six four bed? 2017
I used to want a 2022 tundra....then an F250 tremor...but I think the AEV RAM is simply a better truck. I drove a Laramie 3500 to Yellowstone last year and fell in love with RAM.
I wanna know why 34 people disliked this video, I mean the truck is awesome and I love all the specs if you don't like the content just watch a different video, I rarely give a thumbs down unless I want less of that kind of content
Thank you Captain Mike we often wonder the same thing. Thanks for watching.
Michael Woltmann Haters Mike .... Haters
They're just jealous.
Mike Woltmann cuz it’s a ram
Ikr.
This truck is awesome!!!!!!!!
I just bought this truck! It’s amazing in every way, well done. So many upgrades to both power and versatility!
Sick bro! I have a 2016 Ram 2500 that's itching for that AEV kit.
I love these trucks. I have a 2021 Warlock which meets my needs, but these AEV builds are what I’d get if I won the power ball lottery.
Man, I wish I could afford to make my 2015 Ram 2500 look like yours. It's simply beautiful and amazing.
It can be done! No shame in breaking it into phases. Shoot us a call and we can make a plan! 888.993.4373.
Man, I have three kids and I work a low paying government job lol. I'm just lucky to have the truck. Glad you guys make the vids so that I can still dream though.
Diesel Power Products Damn this comment just made me want to subscribe. This is definitely an example of taking care of people and customers
machel buchanan thank you!
Individual programmable products are always nice! Love the rig!
Man, I wish he had more videos about this truck
You will see more on this. What information are you looking for? What would you like to see?
Beautiful truck! I love the description as well. Not boring you really show passion! Good job!
Matt Barnabee thank you!
That's what dreams are made of ! Awesome 👏
12footstroke thanks!
Diesel Power Products Just found your channel and subbed instantly 👍🏻👍🏻way way up. Please keep us posted on the coming mods. Can't wait to see Sledge in action.
That is a work of art! Please build my ram 2500!
Will Andrewslet we could do that.
@@DieselPowerProductswhere are you located?
Very nice! Your truck is what my truck vision is in my head.
Nice set up... I need something like that down here in Texas with all this flooding going on.
she's a beaut...just picked up a 15 eco diesel. I'm going to check you guys out and see what's the best route to go with my future mods. Keep up the awesome work👍👍👍
Now that’s how it’s done, one seriously bad ass truck
Wow... What a Great Build!!!! I was hoping you say you can get at least 23/24 mpg on the Highway but Oh Well!!!!
AEV Rocks!!!!!! Loving the Fog Light Set Up, I have a 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel, I am considering going to the 2500.
Thank for Sharing!!!!!!
Roc900 it would be awesome to say that it also got 23/24 mph. It is a 2500 and running 40" tires. Cooper says he is typically around 16/18. Thanks for watching.
Represent Spokane!!! I've driven by your place a thousand times. Best looking trucks in town. I'm in a 2500 hemi with some bells and whistles. My pocket isn't that deep....Yet! When it's time, I'll be cashing in.
I'm in the Powersports industry and have always been interested in mods. The new can-am turbo and Polaris turbo side by sides are easily upgradable
Very nice rig...congratulations and thank you for posting!
I just got a 2017 power wagon, the first thing I want to do is get a nicer front bumper for it and the one on this rig is exactly what I am looking for! Very sharp rig!
Love the truck. Looking forward to building one for myself.
Can you please do more videos on this bad boy 👌
Andy M they are in the works, thank you for watching.
I'm more of a power-stroke guy but damn you made good points as to why you chose that truck, and that truck is hardddddddddddd
Badass truck. I'm not a dodge fan at all but I like it.
Joseph Whelan thank you!
Get this guy a fidget spinner
neo night he is pretty energetic. Lol, hands talker.
Like he's on something
Oscar Barberena he’s always like that. Nothing but excitement.
I admire Coop's enthusiasm. Love to have you guys work over my '13 Ram!
How much would it cost for the lift/suspension and putting the 40s on??
That is one badass bumper
Jess OG ツ thank you and thanks for watching
Thank goodness you don't have ridiculous 20+inch wheels. It seems fewer and fewer trucks now days have more rubber than rim. Also I love the wide stance man, You did an outstanding job on your truck.
I wish I had money like that to do stuff like this to my truck.
Makes me want a diesel that looks badass.
Any more mods on this truck? It’s the best one I’ve seen! I’d love to see it with the dual turbo setup.
I just bought it and it has compounds and a stage 5 transmission.
DREAM TRUCK. THAT THING IS PERFECT
If you don't seriously off-road I'd almost agree, but for those who do will at least add rock-rails, rear bumper with integral tow hooks and a full size matching spare. Oh, and the snorkel from AEV is super bad ass looking too, poser or not! There's a ton more I haven't yet mentioned.
Matthew Schiebout oh it gets seriously Offroaded. Cooper drives it! There are forged tow points on the front and the full size spare goes in the bed with a Mac's Y strap when he hits the trail.
Ok. Up in Alaska new trucks never look new again after going off-road so my bad! Even the interior gets filled with mud and dust. Maybe Sledge has gotten a little dirty by now. Honestly, I wouldn't take such a nice new rig out and beat on it anyway, but build up an old one instead. I understand the marketing aspect to Sledge though :) I'm mostly a Ford and Foreign type guy but AEV has done job with their products.
Matthew Schiebout yes Alaska is hard on rigs, Cooper lives in the middle of no where it is a constant battle to keep it clean. We have a Ford build on the way.
Diesel Power Products I'm looking forward to that. Ford finally redesigned the Super Duty, I believe it to be the best on the market now! That said, the factory Power Wagon is a decent effort. Definitely needs bigger tires though.
Should add some BD S2 flood patterns on the side of the bed just behind the cab on each side for side lighting.
That would beat any Australian rig. American horse power is the best.
that is a badass looking truck! That thing looks like it'll eat anything on the road
Did you run C-rated Toyos? The 40s aren't available in an E-rated in a 17-inch. Just curious.
ReverMoto I have C rated tires on the 17’s and D rated on the 20’s. It has still towed everything I have ever needed it to. Including a 38’ gooseneck trailer with two rigs on it.
Love the truck! How is that 363sxe working out? Looking to throw one on my truck
Love the Truck - I have a 2017 as well I am currently working on. I love the Edge CTS but where did you get the pillar piece to mount it? That is awesome location and great looking!
Here is a link. Comes with the adapters to run a screen.
www.dieselpowerproducts.com/edge-pillar-mount-10-18-cummins-30-ram
I have the same truck how much was it to do this build? Been looking at systems for my truck and came across this awesome project.
That is such a sweet truck.
Gil Vietor thank you!
That's a BA setup.
I wonder if that front bumper would look alright with out those flares as I'm not looking to go 40's or cut my fenders.
I have nothing against those who do though & truly appreciate the beauty of this rig.
Those flares are made by AEV to accommodate 40's with their 3" lift and a 2.5" cut of the fenders. That is called the AEV Prospector XL. The regular AEV Prospector is on 37's which does not require curing the fender or replacing the flares.
This truck is beautiful!!!!!!!
Really good looking truck...
What model number of KMC Machete bead lock wheels are you running on this truck?
Jay they are the Crawl 17x9 with 3.5" backspace.
Damn the AEV plus!
Furious Styles thanks for watching
Nice truck. You got a video of it running, so we can hear that 2 gen swap.
Robert Ayala not yet but Sledge has had some more upgrades since the video so we'll make sure we get that in the vid.
A raptor competitor I wanna see that showdown 💥
Question on wheels & tires with the AEV lift. If I read correctly in a previous post you said these were 17x9 kmc xd229's with the 40x13.5 toyo mt's. On the kmc site those look like a -38 offset/3.5 backspacing. AEV seems to state their 17x10 katlas are one of the only ways to go to assure no issues with 40's and those are supposed to be a -15.6 offset/5.86 backspacing. Are there any special mods here to the basic AEV lift and fender set or does the math all just work out in the end?
Beautiful truck here. Looking to do something similar with my 2500, just struggling on the wheels as I don't like the katlas (or the fact they are on backorder till forever).
Brice Carpenter you are correct I have the 17x9 with 3.5" backspace and I have no issues nor have I modified anything. We have also run the 17x10 with no issues. This truck gets used for more wheeling then most and Cooper wanted beadlocks.
Diesel Power Products thanks for the reply. Good to know, that certainly opens up the options I was considering. Love your channel and the work showcased, some awesome trucks for sure.
Brice Carpenter thank you for following, we'll keep them coming
Wow, man that is one bad looking ram I just pick up a 2017 2500 CTD a month ago it's my first diesel so I have a lot to learn, awesome video.
George GodMan thank you and thanks for watching.
I think I'll be paying you guys a visit this summer to get some of this stuff added to my '18 3500. I definitely want the AEV bumper + winch. You mentioned upgrading to the dual alternators. Was that a factory upgrade, or did you add that later? Mine came with a single alternator, and I'd like to add a second one to power accessories and top off the camper batteries. I asked the dealership about adding it on, but they thought they'd have to fab something up to do that, which doesn't sound quite right to me.
That is exactly what i want for a truck
3 years later I got it!!
Guys, please do a build video on sledge.
Hey, what will you do with a 2014 ram ecodiesel that is ready to blow the motor,
Coolant leaking, exaust filter not regenerating, intake manifold problems and more, ? My budget!!!
I’m looking to buy a diesel. Seems like Dodge is it. Your build is perfect. Now to research your videos for your MPG stats.
Love the Rig. Curious to hear what the overall height? It it difficult to determine in the video. My 2016 power Wagon sits very high (6'11" @ clearance lights) with 35" KO2's. I like your larger tires with the AEV dual sport lift.
love the hood. why do all the upgrading in a standard truck, why not a Laramie and get all the cool gauges, center stack and nicer trim!
Devo Dar good question, Cooper likes the build of this trim level better then the Laramie. This package has better headlights and he wanted seating for 6.
@@DieselPowerProducts what trim level is the truck?
Why dont you make more videos? Love them.
Just curious if your 2017 Ram 2500 came with the off road package to start. I’m looking to get a Ram 2500 and wondering if the hill descent means anything in regard to the off road capabilities with all the AEV upgrades.
this truck is sick!!!
For the KMC bead locks did you have to get the custom bolt pattern to fit the 8x6.5 of the ram?
Any issues with the transmission?love the truck fixing to pick one up myself and build similar to what you have ,but have been leaning twd the 3500 because the 68 likes to give up the ghost..
Trucks like this make me want to get a ram lol
Luis Crespo thank you, we thought so too! It is one of our favorite Ram builds.
we just bought a modded truck (wheels, tires, flares, etc. all the goodies) but the passenger side back up sensor beeps when nothing is there, and has to be wiggled around to make it stop when backing. is that just a short?
@DPPCooper Is there a bed rack that still allows the use of the gooseneck?
Does that front bumper gives you good approach angle?
Super nice truck!!!!
That is a pretty awesome truck. I have a 2015 dodge ram 2500 but I have the 6.4 L hemi. Do you guys do anything for that and I would like that 3 inch lift and I think that would be pretty cool on my truck
Sweet truck!! All those engine mods, how much power and torque does it make? Would love a vid of it driving and offroading.
As it sits in this video, put down 524HP to the wheels.
I have same but my is a 17.5 its a F-450 6.7 twin trubo power stoke. New transmission neW gears. 14 INCHS OF LIFT. 54 INCH TRIES!!! Thing can pull a damn dump truck out the snow
Varedz I do t entirely understand what's the same but thank you for watching and keep enjoying that truck Offroad!
Diesel Power Products Thank you too!
Most bad ass ram on earth👍
Awesome truck thanks for vid
Miller Lincoln thank you for watching.
Great truck.... please show where you located the ARB dual compressor. Tks.
xavier fuentes thank you, we mounted it under the bed on the passenger side in front of the passenger rear tire protected by the inner fender liner.
Love the AEV stuff for RAM!
Jay P we do too!
My question about this badass rig is how well would it do if it was a power wagon? does AEV dualsport suspension work no problems with the power wagons articulation, is the 6.4L hemi a good motor for towing from time to time?
I am looking at the gladiator but as i may need some heavy towing from time to time the 2500 may be a better all around for myself.
Yes AEV does the Dual Sport 3" on Power Wagons...The lift is just less since you already start out with a 2" lift.
How much prep work did you do on the bumper prior to painting?
Would 4.56 gears in your opinion be too low for only a 33 in tire? I'm moving up to a 35 at some point but never plan to go higher than a 37. I just wonder with diesel and gearing I had a gas power wagon on 35s with 4.56 gears and loved the power it had, but I know diesels are just different beasts altogether. Are those the factory ram 2500 axles?
That bumper looks better without the horizontal bull bar.
Where did you get the bumper and Fender Flares from
chris keiffer they are AEV we sell them. Give us a call and we can get you all dialed in!
What an awesome beast
is there a video of that silverado in the back?
Do you off-road more or tow more? I’m looking at the power wagon or Cummins. Can’t decide which platform I want more but curious which you do most, tow or off-road, and why not the power wagon? Thanks!
Cummins are beasts off-road as well as towing
Hey is that AEV bumper color matched or is it a stock AEV color?
Chris Mairose it was color matched thanks for watching.
I got a 17 ram 3500 and am putting this kit on it could i fit a 40 × 15.5 tire?
derrick flaming yes we are running 40x15.50r20 on one of the other trucks.
That is one hell of a rig. These Dodges are sweet. Next truck will be a 4th gen Dodge... But not for a long long time lol. Military pay and an LBZ I cannot bring myself to sel...
I’ll use my military pay to buy your LBZ...
Nastiness! Awesome truck!
Please help me out fellas. What are the selectable locker options for a ram 2500 with the 11.5 & 9.25 aam? I know you guys run the arbs & those are great, but I just wonder what other options are there? I have looked online & besides the arb I really don't see much. I can pretty easily track down a power wagon locker for the front but in the rear I am struggling, I know that the power wagon used to run the 10.5 but now they run the 11.5, all I've been able to source for the rear of mine is a limited slip. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Love all your builds btw & the channel.
Will Andrews arb is the only option for the rear. It does rock though. Thanks for watching
Will Andrews s
Will Andrew
WOOOOOOOO!
How much did you lose in towing and pay load capacity with the aev lift and 40 in tires ???
Where can I get that A pillar pod that you have for the edge controller?
Do you need to run the flares with thatt bumper ?
I want to equip a RAM 3500 HD Laramie 4WD 4-Dr Crew Cab Pickup Truck with a 3.0 in. suspension lift & 35.0 in. tyres!!! Do I need to do any cutting or chopping inside the wheel well to fit the 35.0 in. tyres???
Nope
Neat install on the CTS2 Insight , Is the windshield post mounting adapter is available ?
Alain Brouillette yes it is, here is a link. www.dieselpowerproducts.com/p-7362-edge-pillar-mount-10-16-67l-dodge-cummins-14-16-30l-ram-1500-ecodiesel.aspx
Thanks for watching.
Thanks , can i get it in black ?
Alain Brouillette if only comes in one color that matches the only color pillar on the dodges. But it is paintable.
Thanks , greatly appreciated .
Alain Brouillette anytime!
Do you really prefer the toyo tires over the maxxis?
I think AEV will put a 4.10 axle ratio conversion, and the Dodge Chasis cabs will go up to a 4.88 axle ratio conversion. Can you put too big of an axle ratio conversion on your truck that it hurts your performance? Or does it just hurt your gas mileage?
Love your truck!
sick truck
I have a 2018 Ram 3500 cummins. My correctly installed aev bumper just caused my intercooler to leak. The factory push pins in figure 46/47
of the installation manual wore 2 holes in my intercooler.......watch out.
barry piar call AEV.
this is exactly what i want!
