Well its been a month or so Ive not been on DB. Been to busy with finals and work. But I thought instead of a bunch of posts about what all I did to the truck Ill just make one super giant post.
First off I finally got my sound system installed to the truck. A sony Headunit with usb and aux inputs 6X9 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the doors 6.5 Rockford fosgate 3 ways in the back doors (I bit to big but I made the speaker opening bigger with a saw zaw.) 2 MTx 10's in a thunderform box and a 1000 watt alpine class D amp Attachment 39492 Attachment 39493 Attachment 39494 Attachment 39495 Attachment 39496 Attachment 39497 Attachment 39498 Attachment 39499 Attachment 39500 Attachment 39501 Attachment 39502 Attachment 39503 Next I replaced the interior lights with LED's. Also found a write up on cummins forum on fixing the map light switch so I did that to. Its soooo much brighter I can now see the floorboards at night.

Attachment 39482 Attachment 39483 Attachment 39484 Attachment 39485 Attachment 39486 Next I had the Radiator go out on me. The drivers side tank cracked from top to bottom. So I had to buy a new one. Also flushed the system. Attachment 39487 Attachment 39488 Attachment 39489 While pulling out the old radiator I found 307,000 miles worth of blow by on the back of the radiator. So I also made my blow by tube go to the frame. Attachment 39490 Attachment 39491 |

Lastly I plasti-diped my wheels. This stuff is great. Super easy to put on stands up to anything and if you don't like it it will pull off like tape.

#2, just a little bit on the front end helps make the centers of wheels look right, it actually almost looks like a twd version of my truck, I powdercoated the factory aluminum wheels and left the center caps chrome, so yea, I like it:cool:

Your welcome
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- So to add to my list of things to do this weekend I picked up a high idle box. Attachment 39357 It's incredibly handy in the winter for faster warmup or even the summer time for cold AC. The left switch is the IAT switch, the center is the 3/6 cylinder selector, and the right switch is the ECT switch to force high idle a warm engine. I should have a bit of fun with it. ---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Heres a link Mopar1973Man's Dodge Ram Cummins Diesel Trucks - High Idle Fooler Set-Up for Sale!! |
Looks sweet! What kinda leds did you use for the back up lights and the map lights? Also where did you get that 300,000 mile plate?

Well After several weekends I FINELY got these suckers hooked up! Been waiting on time and parts. So I got 2 of the 100 watt spots and mounted them to the axle with 2 pipe bands each.
Attachment 38977 Took a while to find out what wires went where in this mess that some one made for me. There are wires coming and going everywhere! Attachment 38978 Attachment 38979 Put the relay on the inside of the frame after I did a waterproof job with some tape and got it up out of the way. Attachment 38980 Attachment 38980 Next I ran my switched power and a ground to the lights. I ran a ground just to play it safe and have a ton of wire on hand. Ran the wires in that plastic wire covering, through the frame rails and down to the axle. Attachment 38982 Attachment 38983 Attachment 38984 Lastly I ran the wires to each light zip tieing the wire to the axle. And man them suckers are bright. Cant wait to try them out later!

Got the 2500 and SLT badges off today dident have time to get the black trim off.
Used a heat gun and a pine paint stick you get at lowes with paint. I took the Pine stick and sanded it to a point to help scrap the sticky off. It worked great! did not mess up the paint or anything. I still have a bit of stuff stuck on the pass door but it will come off soon. Before Attachment 38832 Getting the 2500 off. Attachment 38833 Attachment 38834 Attachment 38833 Attachment 38836 Heres the Finished Product! Also Got them SLT Badges off easiest of the bunch. Attachment 38837 Attachment 38838 Attachment 38839 |

Not much done this last week. Just added the DB sticker to the tool box. Need to get a cummins forum and mopar man sticker lol. Tomorrow I'm going to start working on my install of my storm chasing gear. Cb, Ham 2 meter, Light controller, Lights, siren speaker/controller and the center console hump mount. |
Washed, Waxed and shined! snapped this pic going to work this morning.

Just for anyone who wants to debadge their truck I found to get the sticky stuff off towards the end lighter fluid works awesome. Just use that with a good rag and buff it off. Also will help take off any left over residue that will attract dirt.

Good idea wyo, never tried that we always use goo b gone. :c:
Looking GOOD Aaron!! |
