With the bad tappets you found, that cam bearing, & considering what you're going to use/ do with that engine. I'd do some more checking of bearings & tollerances (crank end play, rings, etc.) Also consider so of the beef up mods so the first gen doesn't have a problem like the 05 or send it trucks😉 Glad you got rid of that 70s funk grill on the dually. I'd do a paint match bed liner from the body line down & up the backside. I'd also put so use sooty motor oil in all the nooks and crannies off the bodies on all those truck for rust inhibitor. Good luck😎
I was the last comment on your last vid I said check the bushings "called it " glad you checked it imagine the devastation had that nipped up....good job the dually looks so much cleaner now
hey greg if the front cam bearing is wore like that id check the rest of the cam bearing and id change the oil pump out and to a high volume since it has 350k miles could be why it wore it out
Im from michigan and before i took delivery of my 17 i had it Ziebart rustproofed. I was sold when in 16 my son bought a 2001 cherokee and it was Ziebart rustproofed and it had no visible rust on body panels or underneath after 15 years in rusty michigan. My suggestion for you is get It rustproofed.
I love the new style grill, but it just doesnt say Dodge like the cross hairs. and as for the lower bed moldings, i think it looks better with them on.. though sometimes function should lead over form. Id keep them off to prevent the rust
Definitely like that grill better. That cross hair style grill has been on the front of the Ram's since 86' and in front of the Cummins engine since 89' so it only seems right.
Cant leave anything stock and im the same way.My stuff has to be different than everyone elses.All that you done made a big change on the truck looks awesome Greg A!!
In my personal opinion I would have left the turbodiesel in the badge still with the red lettering. I have a set on my truck and it just the right amount of color.
Off topic but I’m looking for the Cummins emblem that u put on the grill of the front end swap. (Can’t find that video again either) can’t find them on eBay. They seem to only have 2nd Gen ones. I love ur videos and trucks btw !🤘🏻
Nice work, Greg. I don't get the all black thing, though, looks like every other black RAM I see on the road. I have the 2017 RAM 3500 Limited Mega Cab 4x4 SRW truck with factory side steps and all the factory chrome which I like on my Granite Crystal grey truck. Looking for ideas to improve performance while maintaining California emissions requirements. I have the 6.7 with Aisin and rear auto leveling. Any thoughts?
Black wheels 😍😍😍
Looks good Greg👍🏽
Love the grill Greg gives it a attitude
New grill looks so much better!!
Love the new grill
The grill looks great
Looks way better
Looks way better greg!
I’m so pumped for the tires. Can’t wait
Looks great!
Color matched mirrors and tented mirror lights would look great
Looking nice Greg!
Junior from Jamaica loving it keep doing it
I’d take the fender flares off too, looks cleaner
Looks good man!!
nice truck greg
You should make a video of the plans for the white mega cab in the garage
And cummins logo on the grille like the 05
Rain guards and you need some tow mirrors with smoked led lights but looks awesome.
Super-gloss-Black dually rims! 😎 That’s my recommendation.

Oh no, I jynxed the build asking about the cam bearing! Glad to see it's getting taken care of though.
You should paint the stocks on the duality black
Bro you tripping , love videos
The crosshair grill is so much better, also a dually truck looks so much better with the dually trailer!
Leave the front side molding off but put the back on
Love the grille and the LED's. Would have done the exact same thing. I am excited to see what wheels you bought and how they are going to look.
You should put some traction bars on the Dually to match all of your other trucks
better look then before!!
I had no idea ben stiller was into diesels...nice
I was the last comment on your last vid I said check the bushings "called it " glad you checked it imagine the devastation had that nipped up....good job the dually looks so much cleaner now

Way better dude
Love the Alcoa wheels but some black wheels omggg
Truck looks great led's the ram dealer told me that it can cause the engine light to come on but any way your dully looks great

2001 cherokee and it was Ziebart rustproofed and it had no visible rust on body panels or underneath after 15 years in rusty michigan. My suggestion for you is get
It rustproofed.
Love the new grill! It looks way better. I would leave the skirts off, since you are in the salt zone. Also love the recon cab and side marker lights.
I always liked the grill you bought better than the one that came stock on that gen
you make the '18 look like a '17 with that grill!
Get LED license plate bulbs,reverse light bulbs,and LED headlight bulbs,and get blacked out Morimoto LED Fog Light housing.
Would you Ever paint the mirrors?
You should fill the lettering on the cummins badges with red or another color!
I like it
Are you gonna do a leveling kit with the new setup?
The limited style grill looks better on a white out truck I think.
Would you ever put after market fender flares on the dually or 08
I’m surprised you haven’t thrown a lift pump on the dually yet
I love the new style grill, but it just doesnt say Dodge like the cross hairs. and as for the lower bed moldings, i think it looks better with them on.. though sometimes function should lead over form. Id keep them off to prevent the rust
Those stock grills look way better then any other previous ram trucks in my opinion.
Definitely like that grill better. That cross hair style grill has been on the front of the Ram's since 86' and in front of the Cummins engine since 89' so it only seems right.
I think wheels should come next
Greg you should paint the plastic moldings the same color as your truck give it more of a gloss color instead of a plastic look
Keep up the great vids Greg. I just got out school for the summer and will be working my ass off to get a new turbo and built trans in my lmm.
Cant leave anything stock and im the same way.My stuff has to be different than everyone elses.All that you done made a big change on the truck looks awesome Greg A!!
Love the grill now...!! Greg where do you get your badges?
Gave any thoughts to a flatbed on the dually?
Greg A what’s your opinion on mud flaps?
Paint letters in badge, leave molding off , cab lights are sweet.
In my personal opinion I would have left the turbodiesel in the badge still with the red lettering. I have a set on my truck and it just the right amount of color.
Its time to paint the first gen black !
I’ll buy the grille!
Can’t wait to see the new rims . I bet they are American forces.
What does the rear camshaft bushing look like?
Need to run a Fluidamper full power install kit on the first gen. Better design than using the fleece barring tool for higher hp levels.
Off topic but I’m looking for the Cummins emblem that u put on the grill of the front end swap. (Can’t find that video again either) can’t find them on eBay. They seem to only have 2nd Gen ones. I love ur videos and trucks btw !🤘🏻
Srt 6 badges
Nice!
Greg’s the kind of guy to put forces on his trailer 😂
Having the same rims on the truck & trailer means the spare tire fits both😉
Looking forward to the future HID/LED headlight vids lol
Anyone else get a little excited when he said "American Force"? P.S. @Greg you chould run the newer Toyo R/T tires! My pops has em and the tow great!
Grill looks 100% better..needs a Cummins badge up front like 05..05 still my fav...
If the front cam bearing is that bad wouldn't you replace the others
Toyo open country r/t tires?
My vote is for old grill lol! That being said the new one does look good, and I like the cross hairs!
I like both grills but it def makes your truck look older....
Get a nicer intake for the first gen and thanks for the great vids lately
That grille looks 1000 times better. Take the fender flares off, they trap the same crap as the bottom moldings
What size are the new tires going to be?
Do you still have the old grille?
Greg, please paint match you mirrors
What kind of cab lights are those?
I got a question what size tires are you planning on gitting
Shaping up nice... Nothing better than getting rid of the "factory" look and putting your own spin on it....
Is the dually deleted

Grille, emblems and led’s look good!! You get to try that glass cleaner yet??
Greg A what's the color code on the 4th gen?
What brand are those cab lights?
What kind of headlights do you run on the dually?
What brand tires on your 05 Greg. Hard to tell, looks like Nitto Tera Grapplers G2
Love the look the dually is going!! Are you going to sell your stock wheels and tires off the dually?
I like the OEM grill better.
I want to buy that grill....
450 for the grill picked up
Wish I could buy a NOS 1st Gen grill for that much!
Liked the old grille better.
How much for the chrome badges the Cummins c
The Cross hair grille or the Sterling grille are much better then those new grilles
Where'd you get the emblem for the 05?
Did you sell the Grille yet?
Is the truck straight piped?
