Like this video? Check out the 5 things I LOVE about my 3rd Gen Ram 1500 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qdNjq8l00L_TkYE.html

The under seat storage I found is perfect for subwoofers

Ok, let me give it a try in case I get a response. Been months without new comments. My question: is it possible to add/install a GPS/back up camera like you have on my '05 ram 1500?

What set of wheels and tires do you have?, i really like those wheels

There is NO foam behind that panel and ALL pickups without the optional wheel well guard installed will do this. You need to cut that out and weld a new panel on while it's still small. I repaired mine without any experience (you can see a quick vid of my job here on YT) I let my rot go too long and needed to use a lot of the replacement panel on one side. The side with less rot was way easier to do. I couldn't find a wheel well guard for a 3rd gen so had to make one out of black ABS. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Z9CIlbykp92toWQ.html

What head lights do you have I have an 03 need better lights

Let’s be honest all brands rust on the fenders and bed especially northern trucks. It’s steel and that’s what steel does is rust when cities put salt on the roads.

I feel like most problems with this truck are things you did to it but it’s an all around thing, like the video and keep it up

Also, what I have never found the answer to or seen anywhere is how to adjust the emergency brake cables? Anyone with any thoughts? It's just feels like it barely holds the truck in park unlike the old drum brakes.

My 05 doesnt have a spot of rust on it. It's all about how you take care of it and where you live

who's signatures are on the dash

Every single truck manufacturered has issues with the rear fender wells. It's not dodge specifically. They all do it. And the 2rd gens do come from the factory with tow hooks if you get a truck with features like tow package and etc. You got a load of space behind the back seat also to store stuff. Be glad ram gave us rear seat storage because most companies don't.

What’s your suspension, wheel and tire setup in this video ?

Crazy video. First you could have put a Single Din new radio in and saved any trouble. With a Dodge radio mount kit & plug, it’s a 10 minute job. They also make kits for double din setup that are just about $20. Not sure why your bumper damage would be something you hate about your Ram. Should be something you hate about a bad driver. I actually love my old Ram, always take care of it, it’s a 2004 and looks and runs better than most new ones! For storage I actually like it. I don’t keep it junked up and find that storage perfect for inflator, a few straps and tow rope, but I don’t use my floor board for a toolbox, but that’s what the floor board cover plate is for! I’ll have to check my lower heater exit, but I don’t seem to notice any issue with heating. I will give you the stupid wheel well issue! Scrape that crap out and squirt some fluid film in there! Change the oil & filter every 3-5k and it will last longer than most of the new $55k trucks now!

What is the lift/ wheel/tire setup you are running

what is your suspension setup ?

Is your truck black or brilliant pearl crystal?

Is that the original grill? Or is it an upgrade? If it’s an upgrade where did you get it?

Gotta say, i liked the 2nd gen ram better. It looked better and i liked the 318 magnum it came with when paired with the manual. But... now that i have an 08 ram 1500, the 3rd gens kinda growin on me. Not too modern, and has just enough mash between the older classy look and a newer feel. I dont think imma get any car older than 08, mostly cuz of my truck. If it werent for my 3rd gen, i woulda stayed 90s and lower

#3 seat storage. The problem with that is that if they extended that bottom area out for more storage it would be a real hassle for kids or whoever to get their feet in the truck to sit down. Essentially it would be in the way

Have you replaced the 3rd brake lights rubber gasket yet? Well if you haven't, I guarantee water will eventually come into the cab of your truck. I noticed mine leaking early, bit there are several horror stories out there. Anyways, pick up a marine grade gasket seal. It cost me about 8 bucks, and took about 20 minutes to replace. There are several videos online that show how to do it properly. So far no leaks whatsoever! It is well worth the investment.✌️

I have a third gen Ram 1500, as for the uder seat storage, amazing. You have to keep your shit in a bed mount tool box. The radio my truck was good, I wanted to upgrade so I did. I wouldn't shit on the truck because I wanted a better radio. My truck came tow hooks factory, it's a Sport quad cab 4x4. My heater is also messing up but hey it's 2004, I call it dealing with your bullshit. My truck has wheel well issues, holes critters can live lol.... Now one thing I noticed and maybe you haven't had this issue yet, wiring harness the goes to the rear doors from the B pillar breaks. I wired mine up and got rid of the plug on both sides of the harness. Other than that I love my truck and yes it does have Hemi💪💪💪. Oh one more thing, my neighbors hate my Hemi because it's loud.... that's ok, I'm looking into a neighbor delete.

So you have no complaints on the engine or the trans or the front end steering and suspension?

This is the first ram that I seen with a normal knob for the 4x4 all the ones I seen have the handle on the floor

YEP....I LIVE IN THE SNOW BELT AND AM METICULOUS ABOUT WASHING.. WHEELWELLS STILL RUSTED BUT IT TOOK 14 YEARS

what's your radio set up and cost?

You do know they came with different front bumpers...? That's why you don't have tow hooks. Both my 2003 and my 2004 ram trucks came with tow hooks. But they are Laramie's. The slt and st didn't come with tow hooks unless you paid extra for them when you ordered a truck. It's that way to this day for new trucks also, so if you go buy a new ram make sure you order tow hooks if your buying a st or slt :) but as for the back seat you just need to organize your stuff man really. Not trying to be rude but it's not their fault all your stuff doesn't fit... you do know that metal plate folds out .... and personally without trying to sound rude.... you need to not be cheap and go buy a tool box or tool bag or something. They can't assume that a customer is gonna store everything they own under the back seat.. if you want a work truck with loads of storage they make those, it's call the 2500 and up with utility beds on them. and the 1500 isn't it.. 1500 is for a weekend canper/haul a fishing boat kinda truck.

That's not the Heater Core causing your issues. It's the AC/Heat Plenum Manifold and its DEFECTIVE Blend Doors.

is your truck lifted?

Heater box and a/c fix just cost me $4k to fix. (New actuator motors, actuator doors, 7 hours labour...$2.8k. New compressor, evaporator, seals, etc.,....$1.3k). No longer having a garage to fix things myself and just a parking spot in an over 55 community, I got royally screwed, but taking that whole dash out is ridiculous. The damn thing had parts cracking and falling off with every touch of a hand. It's good now, but with 187K miles, it's sphincter tightening every time I turn the key, but it runs strong. Oh! BTW, I fit a marine isolation switch in the cab, inline with the positive from the battery, as the battery drain issue (Fuse 50) just got stupid. I lose radio settings, but in a 2003 Dodge Ram, that's the least of my concerns!! I have CD's.

Is it just a normal 06 grill

Mine came with tow hooks

Cut that rust out man, it’s like cancer and just spreads throughout the whole body

Tow hooks... I know.. 😠😠😠 you have to buy the 2500 bumper stops

My 03 2500 5.9 has tow hooks on the front, previous owner said it was an option? LOL all heavy duty’s should come with them right.

There trucks I use them as trucks I felt that

Tow hooks were an option

My 04 comes with tow hooks.

Bro it’s a big box to put you’re straps in you got on the floor lmao

What year?

You gotta be From NC

Those hooks are ment for securing the vehicle while hauling it not recovering it

Miii ef wun Feetie

I hate all half tons.
