Ultimate 3rd Gen 5.9 Cummins Build Tour | Do It All Diesel

Meet my 2006 5.9 Cummins Ram 2500 truck. This build has been a long process, but the truck has turned out to be exactly what I wanted from the beginning-the ultimate do it all diesel. This truck has a Carli Dominator suspension system, 37s, and a TON of other custom touches to make it do everything and do everything well. Check out the full parts list below:

Way to customize a good truck without going full brodozer

[@garrett1144]

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.

[@transistor281]

lmao

[@dabofiron.itzsimplicity]

Perfectly said, mate. Cheers!

[@gabrielkirchgestner881]

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

[@stack2226]

This is one of the sexiest and cleanest trucks ive ever seen, wow.

[@snowmanwithahat]

More truck builds would benefit from his style of clean and simple

[@jacobg2296]

Makes me immediately wanna buy a 5.9

[@JasonWaterfalls13]

Incredibly well thought out and thorough build. Cleanest 3rd gen I've ever seen. Great video, thank you!

[@JustDiesels]

Thanks for the kind words!!

[@cdismufasa]

This is the best truck build I have ever seen. I love how all the mods are very subtle and clean.

[@JustDiesels]

Thank you!

[@bandabanderos]

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.

[@Plwalkr]

Finally a wholesome diesel channel. You bet I just subd, now I have another distraction to keep me motivated with my 1992 IDI.

[@JustDiesels]

Thank you! That’s exactly why I started this whole KZbin thing!

[@robbalinski1606]

dont see why the 3rd gen's dont get a lot of love, when they're done right like this guys build....damn!

[@reaperreaper5098]

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.

[@DieselAddict-vs9fc]

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

[@reaperreaper5098]

@@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]

@@reaperreaper5098 lol i guess it depends on what you do . Heim joint tie rod ends are the way to go

[@reaperreaper5098]

@@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.

[@PNWThrills]

Just got my first Diesel.. 2006 5.9L Cummins. Excited for the journey.

[@JustDiesels]

Congratulations! They’re awesome trucks

[@ltx383]

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.

[@Steveambriz]

Just bought my first 3rd gen yesterday. Really enjoy these videos

[@rhettfritz9259]

Bro, this is probably the most practical and clean build I’ve ever seen. Excellent job.

[@JustDiesels]

Thank you!

[@OS-hx4jk]

Absolute best 3rd gen Ram build ever. Did a lot, but tastefully, without going all mental. An object of desire.

[@brettlyjonesin]

Man I just came across this video an checked out a few other videos on you channel an I'm super impressed! Subscribed for sure.

[@JustDiesels]

Thank you!

[@03JP17]

Most tasteful truck build I've ever seen.

[@98jeepsterxj]

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!

[@justinkroeker1464]

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

[@Brent0285]

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

Dude I am so jealous 😩 this is fender for fender my absolute dream pickup!! Such a beautiful build!! Amazing work!!

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

[@jayb7905]

One of the sweetest dodge 3/4 diesels I’ve ever seen! Great job on the retool!

[@tcard2008]

Absolutely a killer third gen! Wish my old 421,000 mile 07 looked that clean again.

Is, or was, yours a gasser or diesel?

Absolutely sick build, the attention to detail is off the charts.

Love the way you made this 3rd gen yours, looks good, practical, long lasting and clean

Awesome build!! All the mods make sense and executed well

This is the year of truck I have always wanted! Flawless set up! Absolutely gorgeous!

[@SolarBlackShine]

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

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

Thank you! 🙌

"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!

[@Redbull357]

This video inspires me to fix up my 2003 Ram that's been sitting in my driveway for years. :)

[@rotohead1]

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.

[@JustDiesels]

It really is the best head unit on the market right now!

[@rotohead1]

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.

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

[@decentgarage]

@@JustDiesels That is definitely the perfect solution!

[@marshalllapenta7656]

Nice build 👍

[@lionelemata7433]

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.
