Hi see what you’re talking about now, it’s gonna look awesome and it does with everything color matched

[@toddallison4390]

Thank you. What is the part number for the primed (non-chromed) grill? I'm in the process of doing this conversion, but after doing the RetroShop headlights and BD amber fogs, I want to do the chrome grill next color matched. Great videos!

[@frankb9175]

@ just diesels what wheels are those?

[@attheready1064]

You warm my heart when you tell people to not paint the chrome, but instead, source oem painted parts. I'm not a diesel guy, or a Mopar guy, but I love your channel and your dedication to doing things the right way. Minus your 'hold over' headlights. Jk

[@JustDiesels]

Haha yeah I sincerely apologize for the ebay lights and sliding the sport cover over the old bumper! It’s funny but I feel like people don’t even think to buy OEM parts anymore! They just get what’s on amazon!

[@masterflow101]

You can still paint chrome if sanded properly. But yeah the sport bumper looks better

[@drakeaamold7577]

God is good

[@wildtwindad]

Literally was just complaining about the chrome on mine and how was i going to fund the parts to unshine Rodger the dodger! Thanx so much. Wanted to swap out the mirrors too so thats an easy button moment for me 03' 2500

[@HammerHead524]

Glad you touched on this cause I was going to try the eBay one. Not anymore I’ll buy from the link! I trust your experience over anyone, you know these trucks and what works and doesn’t!!

[@JustDiesels]

Yeah highly highly recommend the OEM parts!

[@machinehead6892]

Mine is an 07 Laramie sport in electric pearl blue, 2500 5.9 48RE, it looks so much nicer without the chrome crap on it your truck looks great after the upgrade.

[@EYVOAuto]

Great video, truck's looking awesome! Great quality as always and I love how you do everything the right way, no shortcuts!

[@jninefive.6495]

I had my chrome bumper blasted and powdered, and then scuffed and painted and it’s been solid for a couple years. Was all in all cheaper than just buying a sport bumper and having it painted.

[@kevinplummer987]

Andrew, your my diesel truck guy! Sweet additions!! I’m loving it!! Great taste!

[@JustDiesels]

Thank you!

[@leemckee1272]

I recommend 4th gen blacked out badges and the big 5th gen black “R A M” letters on tailgate. That is what I did after color matching. Most people are surprised when I tell them my truck is over 15 years old.

[@Skullman7487]

Looks good. I'm not a fan of the tiny rims but each to own. You forgot to say 1500 at the end of the day the body is pretty much the same and sport bumpers don't discriminate between gas or diesel

[@415horse]

Great video! I have the same truck. do you have the part# for the grill in PDM??

[@Lunatic_Lou]

Miss my ‘06 a lot!! Great truck and looking forward to the build

God bless 🙏

Awesome truck. I prefer the stock look it had, but still awesome.

Dude what a transformation. I actually dig those cheap ass head lights too! Too bad they perform like crap.

Dude u shoulda put the alpharex 5th gen style headlights!! I put them on mine...best investment ever ! It gives it that modern look

[@JustDiesels]

I’ve got some big plans for the lights!

[@415horse]

great video! can u please post the part # for the PDM color matched grill ...thank you

[@JDR1971]

The grill is stock. I bought my 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 SLT Big Horn Edition(whew that's a long name) brand new in 2006 and it looks just like that.

[@melissamusser8846]

That's a beast, nothing better

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

She looks good, especially with those fat 35's on her. Can't wait to put 35's back on my 97, but I think I'm gonna run out the tread on the 31's first. I like a slightly wider offset stance, so when I had the 35's on last year I needed to do significant wheel liner cutting and a little bumper trimming.

[@JustDiesels]

The 2nd gens have a lot less room too!

[@nathanbiemer4076]

Can you please make a video about the lights you decide, I recently bought a 3rd gen and I need to find good replacement lights

Love it. Great job. I have a 06 Sport 3500 dually Cummins g56 I bought new. Love it 💪🏻💪🏻👍👍

[@alfansomendoza8556]

You should get the same headlights from the Oracle mega cab, not a fan of the halos but the infinity q45 projector beam would look sick with color matched housings. Would be a nice update but not too over done.

[@albertcampos8533]

Awesome! I’ve been waiting for this one!

[@jacobyjackson3530]

Sandblasting the chrome pieces will make the paint adhere much better.

[@RansxmUS]

I paint chrome trim on 80k truck without problem 2 years later. We have a sealer that just to paint chrome products

[@maximus7331]

Way to go!!! Perfect start to the build series.

[@tawainGordon-le1ss]

Do they sell a air duct cover for that new front bumper upgrade

[@gherasimtibi]

I know what u want out of this truck. But some stance would be awesome

[@waywardexperience537]

Have you heard of any hidden winch option that works with the front bumper?

[@JustDiesels]

Sadly no

[@jamesellsworth240]

I was kinda hoping for 4th gen mirrors with turn signals, for an instruction video on how to wire those up properly

[@JustDiesels]

They’re setup to be tapped into your turn signals! I just don’t like that look.

[@DevonBaber-db7ve]

The grill shows as discontinued. Do you have any recommendations for another place to buy?

[@DeKKaar]

Will this work for 05? Same idea, just different p/n?

You mentioned in one video that you had wrapped cab top. Top hat?? Using GLOSS black I’d love to paint or wrap same using gloss black. I was told by one shop that gloss black wrap would show scratches. What is your experience say ?

[@JustDiesels]

Gloss black shows scratches like crazy, but since it’s on the roof you don’t really see it. I’d rather the wrap get pummeled by the sun than the actual roof!

[@sgg03]

Have you considered Alpha Rex USA Pro- Series headlights?

God that's a hot truck! I do have a quick question though.What head unit are you running in that truck? My 04 Cummins is in dire need of an upgrade and I saw you had an aftermarket one... wondering what brand/model and if you like it so far. Just watched your newest vid (April 30th) on the Carli suspension and loving the content!

[@connorhellebuyck853]

what kind of radio was that, been looking to upgrade mine

[@leemckee1272]

Any plans to upgrade interior such as a 4th gen jump seat console with cupholders? Not sure if the cup holder jumpseat console conflicts with the G56 shifter.

[@backcountrybuilds]

Awesome video. Love the content, truck looks great! Keep it going

[@morpheus8233]

Ordering off the Mopar site how does it come color matched? Do they ask and get the color from the vin #? Or are you suggesting to get it done at a shop.

[@JustDiesels]

The parts come as raw paintable plastic. You need a body shop to handle the color match.

What kind of rpm you see in 6th gear 70mph?

[@ambassadorofadventure8306]

Hey Andrew, great vids, always enjoy your channel. Question regarding the 4th gen mirrors, do the 4th gen mirrors extend more than the 3rd gen mirrors? TIA

[@AkimasaJP]

they do but only marginally more than the 3rd gen mirrors, the main difference is the shape and the mirror glasses used

[@Sdukes001]

What’s the parts list for a 4th gen?

[@chasecarmody9876]

In the initial reveal video you mentioned how cruising on the highway you could really only do about 70 with the gearing and everything on stock tires. how much of a difference did bumping the size up make? Really want one of these trucks but with where I live and the amount of driving I do I need something that can sit at 80

[@JustDiesels]

It makes a big difference! I can actually hit 75 now. 37s should be perfect.

This truck is mineral grey metallic. Color code is PDM which will be located on the door jam sticker 👍

Would this also work for a 1500?

[@Braap_Jackson]

Is the air damn not interchangeable from the stock bumper? The factory painted upper piece and step pad are correct?

[@JustDiesels]

No the air dam is different. The only part that carries over is the step pad since the painted upper is removed entirely.

[@Braap_Jackson]

@@JustDiesels Do you have the air damn installed in this video?
