Perfect combo, not too excessive on any front. I just picked up an 03 and since it was a smokers truck I stripped the interior to clean it. While it was apart I added sound deadening and closed cell foam and the ride quality as far as noise goes is greatly increased. You can lead a normal conversation inside at highway speeds no problem and it retains heat in the winter nicely.
Mix between companies not realizing just how many dodges, especially 2nd and 3rd gens, are on the road, and because many of us that do these types of mods, are more prone to either DIY it or have shops do highly custom stuff.
Thats what im saying everybody says "ahhh dodge front ends are junk" okay put a little money in your front end ans you wont have to worry about it for a long time. Carli has like a million miles warranty. How can you beat it
@@DieselAddict-vs9fc So, you're saying that I can get a million mile suspension and million mile steering setup to match my million mile engine. Sweet.
@@DieselAddict-vs9fc It's mostly a joke. Though, we do have far more second and third gen Dodge trucks on the street than Ford or Shitrolet equivalents in the cities surrounding me, despite Ford and Shitty both selling more trucks when those trucks were first sold. So, Dodges do last.
im a JDM guy have a EVO x and getting a R34 my buddy in Boot camp got me hooked on rams and i plan on owning a 2006 2500 soon love these truck and the power they make
I came to tell you how much I love this truck and how well your build is but I see everyone else beat me to it. Hands down the cleanest " used" truck I have seen. So glad it's not a pavement princess. I am totally jealous!
"I have an axle dump because I do offroad this truck".............."I get 20mpg on the hwy and thats pretty much the only place I drive this truck" I gotta hand it to you though! This is a super clean, and tasteful build! Inspirational. I just picked up an '06 with only 100k miles on it after sending my 400k mile '04 to pasture. I picked up a few must do things from this vid. Nice truck!
I love watching it going off road! I’m a mechanic and love to see that carli suspension work, just so smooth and the cab is practically floating over it
Yoooo this is super clean. Im not even a truck guy (even though I own a truck) and I do appreciate you not being a tool and putting the tow windows up. I would almost trade my gen 1 raptor for that lol
Love that truck. I also am in love with my Halo9 head unit in my 2nd gen 24v. I almost sold my 2nd gen in need of a big screen but the Alpine unit solved that and much more. When I discovered the addition of the KAC-001 accessory unit to the Alpine can be plugged in without the need of the Maestro unit to give the switch screen and no need of drilling on the dash for switches for lights and other accessories. It is a perfect addition to trucks with many lights/etc. Make sure you follow the installation instructions on the KAC as it is a negative trigger that's not a standard wiring on relays. It has turned my Alpine Halo9 into one of the best investments I've ever done on my truck.
Just Diesels the point I wanted to make was the KAC001 accessory made the Halo9 beyond a simple double din hack. It works without the Meastro module despite what it says in the installation instructions.
im so glad i came across you channel i got three years before i can drive and want the 3rd gen cummins and i will end up taking alot of inspiration from your truck
You did the same thing I did back in 2011. Painted my chrome grill the same color as my truck. You're the only other truck I've seen. Most just go black or stay chrome
Wow, no money was spared in the making of this build. I have a 3rd gen myself, but I have the V1. Hardly ever do you see people building this Gen of Rams and taking time to do it right. This is quality right here
I have a 3rd G 2500 with full Pintop 2.5, leafs and pretty much is here... My tires are Toyo 37's but the one thing I think I'm missing... THANK BRO.. Are your rims! I paid good money for the ones I have but these pop and starting research, they can hang with the beatings!
I have a 3rd gen hemi, and have to say, you have to address the worst thing about these trucks. The seats. FWIW, I swapped in some volvo S60 seats, made them work, and it completely changes being in the cab. Otherwise, you have probably the most beautiful 3rd gen I've seen in a while. Love the color and color matching.
It’s funny but I actually don’t mind the seats at all! Mine are still in great shape though. Once the foam starts to break down they’re like a torture rack haha.
Thanks Andrew for this great video. I have a short arm Ram with 2.0 shocks and I'm looking to either upgrade to long arms or bigger shocks. You seem pretty happy with your short arms, so maybe I'll go with the bigger shocks!
Nice truck, we pretty much have the same rig other than I'm not color matched on my bumpers and grill. I love the carli 3.0 suspension, it rides better than my 15' denali hd did. I have a Borg Warner turbo, bigger injectors, 5" mbrp straight pipe, t4 steed speed manifold,fleece performance cp3 pump with an airdog 4g lift pump,arp headstuds and a built garmon transmission. It has been tuned with efi live by ppe to 630hp. I still have the 3.73s and on 35s I get 25mpg at 75. These trucks capabilities are amazing.
It is a very clean build. I had an 09 cummins and traded it off on a 2015 ecodiesel, was considering a smaller tacoma/canyon type truck but... I think I'm going to buy a car and go back to my roots and find a cummins with a g56 and just build it and keep it till I die
Kinda, but with waaay better suspension under it! Haha And yeah, as much as everyone wants power, I’m a fan of reliability and finding replacement parts anywhere!
I just purchased a 2007 5.9 Souther Comfort Mega Cab and i love it! I'm gonna do what you did and color match everything, i think it looks really good.
Incredible build. This truck would be perfection with the 6 speed trans. It’s surprising just how up-to-date the design looks with color matched paint and the super clear retrofit headlights. Amazing build overall
Just Diesels - what do you think about BANKS diff covers? As I've researched at this moment, the rest of aftermarket diff covers are not better than stock, only BANKS offers functional benefits due to some specific designs concepts on their covers. Love your truck, love to see functional upgrades and not just looks. Everything with a functional and practical purpose is about all - Killer Truck right there - Thanks!
I would love to see this truck in person, it might actually be one that looks good, not just cheesy with all the color matched stuff and peiced together
that's one of the great things I love about my truck is on the highway with 35 in off-road tires im getting 20-22 mpg and city is 18-19. That's excellent.
Nice Truck.. and video... but Where can I buy this Creative Fab works steering brace? I cannot seem to locate it on the old inter-web. Or any other brace that will work with the Carli Sway bar? I have the sway bar and had to remove my old Steering brace... Was hoping to get another one on there... THanks
CFW no longer exists so Synergy is the go to. Personally though I think the steering box braces are a waste of money on the boxed frame rail truck. I definitely regret getting mine.
@@JustDiesels Thanks, I saw that you mentioned that in a later video, appreciate you candor on it... I like what you have done, I too am in search of the perfect set up for steering. I have done many upgrades over the years in search of it.... I might have to try the synergy steering up grade set up you have, I upgraded to the 08 steering linkage( I have a 07, 5.9) added Carli stabilizer, to include the upper one also, Carli track arm, and ball joints... previously mentioned Carli sway bar, .. Also have a red top steering box and have replaced the steering shaft, still have play in the steering between 11 and 1 o'clock... Maybe time for new tires, Toyo MTs are getting warn, and whatever else I can find😃 ... anyways... I will figure out one day.... keep on keeping on... good job in the videos ! thanks again
Great rig fella! I just picked up a 2007 Ram 2500 with the 5.9L. Only mod's are AFE cold air intake and intake horn, exhaust brake and full 5" exhaust. Suspension bone stock and rides like a tank, lol. Absolutely love this truck so far. Glad I came across this video because I have started my build plan and have been contemplating going with a 3" Carli or a 3" BDS coil-over setup. I'm actually thinking quite hard on going with a 6" setup but I use the truck for work (power engineer at a gas plant) and have two young kids. The truck will see daily driving, work use and a lot of mountain trails and overlanding adventures as I live 30 minutes away from the Rocky Mountains (Calgary, Alberta). So a functional all around setup is what I am looking to build that will last a long time. Any advice on pro's and con's of a 6" setup are welcome. I've only ran 4" lift's on my trucks and this is my first diesel. Stay Driven
Love your video. My '07 5.9 Megacab needs some of your touches. I had to install a double-disk clutch cuz any setting above #1 on my Smarty S-06 would slip the clutch right off idle. My suspension is all air. AirBagIt in front and Firestone R4 Tech (which they don't make anymore) so when I'm running unloaded, my 3500 runs almost as smooth as a car. I'm also getting 20+ mpg cuz my stock 17" steel wheels with 33" tires keeps my load at minimum. We share a passion with different priorities and functions. I'm definitely going to explore some of your choices.
Love the third gens I have an 02 5.9 gas fully loaded only $3k with a shell to camp and keep shit In, wish I could’ve gotten the Cummins but still love mine next I’ll probably look for a 5.9 Cummins with a manual
This is awesome! I want to do a similar build with a 5th Gen, but I'm not sure whether to go for a 1500 eco diesel or a 2500 cummins. I do tow but no more than 7000 pounds and want to do rooftop camping.
Definitely go for the 2500. Value retention, payload capacity, space, and durability will all be better- and the truck is just barely larger than a 1500!
Wondering what the model of that stereo head unit is, I wanna be able to install it on mine, love the fact that there’s no cutting. Great video. Thanks
I don't know what that axle is in the front, but nice build none the less. I miss my 08 mega cab 6.7. That truck did it all for me, good lift 35s, did a 6 speed nv5600 from a 01 cab and chassis truck and was so much better than that stock 68rfe
G'day from Australia! Jeez the trucks over in the US are massive! Makes our rigs getting around down here look small! Most common are Toyota LandCruisers (80, 70 series) and the GU and GQ Nissan Patrols
Cool video nice truck I’m not so much into the Cummins diesels my son is I have the half ton ram eco diesel I know it’s a love hate engine but I love it no issues to date so far only modification I have is leveling kit and running 20x10 black fuel mavericks wrapped in 35x12.50 BFGs all terrain get tons of compliments for just wheels and tires basically but diesel all the way brother I love diesel trucks you have a very very nice one I really love the color match front and back

Way to customize a good truck without going full brodozer
Thank god, I was waiting to see the 28" rims that are 30" inches wide with an inch of rubber on them... It drives me nuts.
lmao
Perfectly said, mate. Cheers!
Sorry, but what’s brodozer?
It drives them nuts because they don’t got it if ain’t yours don’t worry bout it bubba
This is one of the sexiest and cleanest trucks ive ever seen, wow.
More truck builds would benefit from his style of clean and simple
Makes me immediately wanna buy a 5.9
Incredibly well thought out and thorough build. Cleanest 3rd gen I've ever seen. Great video, thank you!
Thanks for the kind words!!
Just got my first Diesel.. 2006 5.9L Cummins. Excited for the journey.
Congratulations! They’re awesome trucks
This is the best truck build I have ever seen. I love how all the mods are very subtle and clean.
Thank you!

Finally a wholesome diesel channel. You bet I just subd, now I have another distraction to keep me motivated with my 1992 IDI.
Thank you! That’s exactly why I started this whole UA-cam thing!
Bro, this is probably the most practical and clean build I’ve ever seen. Excellent job.
Thank you!
Probably my favorite truck build. I’m a big dude so I like seeing big ass trucks that can handle the streets and dirt. Best part it’s a Cali truck.
Absolute best 3rd gen Ram build ever. Did a lot, but tastefully, without going all mental. An object of desire.
Just bought my first 3rd gen yesterday. Really enjoy these videos
im a JDM guy have a EVO x and getting a R34 my buddy in Boot camp got me hooked on rams and i plan on owning a 2006 2500 soon love these truck and the power they make

Also, really digging the Asami Sato AVI :).

I don't know how youtubes algorithm works, but so glad this video showed up for me. You have one awesome truck.
Most tasteful truck build I've ever seen.
No talk on the free spin kit:( Beautiful truck as well my man wish my 06 was that clean
I spaced on that and the Fass! Too many parts haha
Yoooo this is super clean. Im not even a truck guy (even though I own a truck) and I do appreciate you not being a tool and putting the tow windows up. I would almost trade my gen 1 raptor for that lol
I just found your channel. Superb presentation, content and clean language. Keep up the good work.
Thank you! That’s exactly what I’m shooting for! Tired of all the junk diesel videos.
Absolutely a killer third gen! Wish my old 421,000 mile 07 looked that clean again.
Is, or was, yours a gasser or diesel?

Awesome! Thank you! Definitely trying to do it right with this truck and channel since I'm tired of all the junk in the diesel UA-cam scene!
Nice truck I use to own a 2006 5.9 only issue was keeping the ac working
It's weird that I like trucks like this. This is surprisingly tasteful
One of my favorite trucks and channels! I’m actually looking for a 5.9 to build based off this bad boy! Keep the content coming!
I really wanna see how bright that 30” Onx6 bar is!!! Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I made a video comparing cheap LED lights to expensive ones where you can see it! Definitely give that video a watch!
Just Diesels currently I have Rigid but wanna convert. Do think they are better than rigid?
SuperDuty Zack massively. There’s really nothing that can compete with the Baja Designs lights performance wise!
Incredible build. This truck would be perfection with the 6 speed trans.
It’s surprising just how up-to-date the design looks with color matched paint and the super clear retrofit headlights.
Amazing build overall
I’ve since sold this truck and I’m building a v2 of it with a 6 speed manual truck!
@@JustDiesels just saw the new truck videos, that thing is wild. Awesome build!

Look at replacing your aftermarket axle diff cover and replace it with a Banks power diff cover. It will help run much longer and cool
Agree that’s a good as looking truck wish I had one like yours
Wondering what the model of that stereo head unit is, I wanna be able to install it on mine, love the fact that there’s no cutting. Great video. Thanks
I don't know what that axle is in the front, but nice build none the less. I miss my 08 mega cab 6.7. That truck did it all for me, good lift 35s, did a 6 speed nv5600 from a 01 cab and chassis truck and was so much better than that stock 68rfe
Super clean. I love it. Looking at this truck for my fishing kayak hauler/camper.
G'day from Australia! Jeez the trucks over in the US are massive! Makes our rigs getting around down here look small! Most common are Toyota LandCruisers (80, 70 series) and the GU and GQ Nissan Patrols
And we’re all jealous of the cool diesels you guys have!
Cool video nice truck I’m not so much into the Cummins diesels my son is I have the half ton ram eco diesel I know it’s a love hate engine but I love it no issues to date so far only modification I have is leveling kit and running 20x10 black fuel mavericks wrapped in 35x12.50 BFGs all terrain get tons of compliments for just wheels and tires basically but diesel all the way brother I love diesel trucks you have a very very nice one I really love the color match front and back
Great video! Love the truck as well, I have a 92 w250 cummins and this video makes me want a 3rd gen as well
Agreed! I have a first gen as well and this video made me want a red gen to go with it.
The trick is to have both! Haha
@@JustDiesels That is definitely the perfect solution!
