So glad I subscribed the other day. I get to watch this 5 minutes after upload. Edit: Finally finished the video. SOUND CLIP???! Maybe next time...but it's not my truck :P

Sickest 3rd gen on the planet hands down IMO!

I have to say, you have the best looking third gen I’ve seen. Whenever I’m talking third gens, I always pull up yours, and not to mention beyond looks, you have this thing built right. Keep it goin, love to see it!

That’s the nicest, most well thought out 3rd gen I’ve ever seen. Congratulations and well done!

I did the same exact thing built my dream third GEN, and said I would never sell it then you get married and have kids, next thing you know, you're building a dream mega cab 4th or 5th gen. The quad cab does not cut it with more than one car seat. still have the third GEN but literally never use it for anything. It just sits probably gonna sell it lol

Love the channel, love your work. I really admire your passion for your dream truck. It is a beauty. I also loved it in stock form. Cleanest 3rd gen I've ever seen. Im more of a stock look guy. But your transformation is amazing too. Long live the manuals. I bought my dream truck 2 years ago. A '99 7.3 Super Duty 4x4 with a ZF6 rust free.

This truck is so beautiful man! I have been going back to your videos for inspiration over and over again. I even swapped my front end from the early 3rd to late 3rd because I love this truck so much. My truck was my grandpas who unfortunately passed away when I was 11 years old in 2012, and it was handed down to me from my dad and I told my dad I would make it better than new. It’s very hard with how much has gone wrong and how much money it has cost me and my dad, but I’m trying to keep my chin up and get it well built and fully functional just like yours!

I just installed the Apex steering on my 06 crew cab long bed, the support from the folks at Apex is the best!

It's incredible how you put your imagination out into the truck itself. It's a very nice truck. You did excellent.

Hell Yeah Brother 🇺🇸🦅

Your living my dream, keep up the great work, can’t wait to see the most premium well put interior video that I know you will deliver!

Great truck, like the badge removal (a must) Cummins badge only looks good!

Your channel is absolutely goals man. I love your builds they are always top notch

Just picked up an 06 g56. Thanks for the ideas! I can't wait to catch up with you.

Your dream truck is my dream truck. Perfect build. It’s soooo nice!!!

Love the content and love the truck! You struck gold with this one for sure!

Yeah, rub it in that I’ve had my ‘07 3500 for three years and made minimal progress 😂. At least this keeps me dreaming and planning. Gorgeous truck, keep ‘em coming!

Love it man. Just inherited my dad's 3rd gen 6.7 but am going through major DW issues. Followed your process on working it out and 2500k later i am praying it's gone or minimized. Gonna do the lift next and see where it goes from there. Might be moving to Vegas and shipping either the the 4th or 3rd gen up for my daily. The 4th is better in all aspects but the nostalgia of the 3rd is hitting me more lol.

That's a beautiful truck. I'm envious of your rust-free 3rd gen! My '09 is in old-man-Gold (Champagne) and I'm dying to get a new bed for it.

Very nice and you will like the HP bump when you go to the next step. My 06 is auto trans with Fass fuel pump and EFI but with water meth injection 60 over S & S injectors and a Fleece Cheetah

Super nice job with the truck and the video! Look forward to more great content, Cheers!

Besides headlight style if I win the loud n proud copying this build

Love watching Andrew keep it up

Awesome ❤❤❤ love your channel and your truck

Great truck!

Man, it is a beauty, I don't know what kind of job you have to drop the amount of coin you do, but man, you do a heckuva job on these trucks. I see several things I would like to do to my 06 2500, that you have done, but likely they will be a locker in the rear, 35's and a mild tune. When it's time to rebuild, then we can talk head studs and maybe a turbo. I think the suspension is probably needed, as it does ride like a tank.

Please make a POV drive in this BEAST!!!

Great video! Thanks 🙏

looks Awesome!

Gorgeous truck.

Man I wish I lived in the desert. Lower prices, lots of space, and I might get almost the exact same truck as you. Maybe a 3500, and more towing oriented suspension, but very similar aesthetic

Damn man you put more into upgrades then you did in buying the truck.

Would love to know more about the process, before and after, and your thoughts on the Xpel protection film!

I haven't touched suspension yet, did a normal double din radio, did clutch and bypass, tunes etc.... I have almost the exact Truck. Mine is blue and is a 3500. I haven't touched the suspension yet because A. I don't want to get worse mileage and B. I tow a good amount with it! (min is a 3500 aswell) . I more of a long bed guy, but the shorbed is convinient to daily if I want. Mine was also a Montana truck, 1 owner grandpa truck (found hearing aide battery's aswell 🤣) my truck had 150k so not too bad. I'm almost up to 190k already. Anyways, great job! I may have to check those tunes out so mine Smokes a touch less, and i may start slow, I kinda like the idea of Thurren Xtra soft front coils to level and get some leafs with airbags. That will give me like 2 inches lift. I'm also curious of a ballpark how much the wrapping cost, looks sweet!

Just bought an 06 mega cab 5.9 hoping to build it to be half as decent as yours it was an old work truck so needs lotta love 132k miles

Gen 4 leather with the 3 cup holder console would be nice to see. I have heard that the shifter needs to be bent slightly to avoid interference.

It's a great build. Our trucks are extremely similar except mine is a Laramie sport with a 4 speed auto that got the BDS upgrade and torque converter. If you want to sell your lights when you replace them, let me know your price, I need to do mine.

I would of kept it stock just looks better in my opinion but those big tires sure do look sweet!

If possible can we get a video of all the things you have done to it and what it cost you? How did it cost for just the parts and how much do the labor cost?

I kind of wish I went with the Dynatrac free spin kit like you did. The machining look a lot nicer and the stick out seems to be better but I wasn't able to find numbers on how much shorter the stick out is compared to others. I couldn't justify over $1000 difference over the Yukon.

Finally a real truck on RU-vid and not some ugly toy like all the others.

I have a 2006 Ram 3500 dually which I am building for towing instead of speed (don’t care about getting there to quickly) this is my last truck too

Super jealous

Awesome videos man keep them coming. I’m from Australia and have come across a low mileage mint condition 3rd Gen 2500. Could you please tell me what the factory GVM payload is ? I can’t seem to find a strait answer on google. I’m a heavy diesel mechanic and would like to use this truck for work carrying heavy loads and wonder what they can carry. Plus is there any decent GVM upgrade kits around ?

Nice build! Quick question: why the S&B intake vs the other options (Banks, etc)? Been trying to find comparisons without much luck.

Awesome vlog!!👍🏽..What happened to Cab over America cab lights?

What’s the update I’ve been building mine and love watching yours

how much did you get the truck for, and how much do you estimate all of your mods cost as well?

First comment. Thanks for the awesome content

Hey how do you like the banks intake horn? Notice any performance gain?

If you know the new owner of the last truck you should definitely take pics of them next to each other

Curious where you are insuring the truck, how are you covered if the truck is totaled? Love the channel, Thanks!

Two questions……which shop did the wrap? Second question, I’m in so cal as well and I’d be interested in buying your carli hi and low steering stabilizer if and when you upgrade. I’ve got an 06 5.9 4x4 with 150 on the clock. I appreciate all the videos, keep it up!

How do you pass California smog check with straight pipe?

@justdiesels Do you hit your 5in axle dump at all when flexed out? I’m just curious as I’m getting a 5in for my 2003 and I still can’t find the answer if it will hit when flexed out.

Did you run nitro recon tires for awhile

What tow mirrors did you swap to?

I've been following your channel you have alot of great info. I've been wanting / looking for 07 Dodge 3500 Mega Cab but all I can find is 08 3500 Mega cabs with 6.7. I found one that has 216k miles on it it's been at the dealership for awhile now. Do you think it will worth getting or could be problem later? Any advice would be appreciated thanks.

Where did you get the front tow hooks?

Are those 4th Gen ram mirrors without the running lights?

Did you change axle gear ratio? What’s the average mpg with new tunes

Which steering dampener will you run with the apex steering? How does the Apex setup compare with the updated mopar and synergy?

Do you have a list for non power adders? What if I just want the most reliable, durable, long lasting truck but couldn't care less about adding power? It seems as though steering and fuel are the upgrades for that, but are there any more? I'm looking to buy a bone stock 3rd gen 03-05 and just want to drive around the states with my enclosed trailer with a few motorcycles in it. Edit: if power is added due to a needed upgrade that's fine but that's not the goal.

Great build! I’m a disabled Veteran on a budget. Are you interested is repurposing your old parts. I have a 2006 5.9 Cummins with 225,000 miles. Needs love since I’m the 3rd owner. 👊🏼

I have never own a truck, is a ram 2500 a good choice as the first pickup ?

did you get the halo 9 f409or f509?

Whats your MPG on it? Please let me know i would love to know thanks

Beautiful build! What kind of fuel mileage do you see? I get up to 21 mpg with a 2016 4wd 6.7 cummins. It's deleted and tuned.

Did you paint the front and rear chrome bumpers? Or are they different?

I just bought 3rd gen 2005 dodge ram 2500 auto trans how do I know what kind of transmission I have ?

How much is that self healing clear wrap?? That’s cool!!!😎💪🇺🇸

what is the expected or recommended life of the wrap?

Does that halo 9 have a power button or is it on when the truck is on essentially always on? And can you control the brightness?

From Grandpa to "I'm parked out front of the food court babe"🤣

So as of now I think you have the apex steering and the dual carli stabilizers. Do you like that feel better than with the Fox ATS setup?

damn son i remember when you bought that thing

Could you do a video on how you wired up your switch pro, especially how you mounted everything under the hood. Also would you have a link for it? Thanks

How do the cts3 insight monitor work with the efilive? Does one of them run on a passthrough obd plug?

Do all of the suspension mods affect the towing capacity? I know this build isn’t geared towards towing, I’m just curious.

this makes me wanna sell my 2g and buy a 3g lol

How do the wheels have poke if they have a positive offset? Serious question

If only it had an nv5600

Who makes the rear fender liners?

How much are you in for all the mods?? I'm getting into this soon and curious what the rabbit hole will cost me..

why not a mega cab?

She looks nice. I have a 3rd gen and all I’ve ever wanted to change is the god awful ride quality

Do you think you'll ever own/build a 4th gen?

All it needs now is 40’s 😉

Why does every cali truck guy put on methods or kmcs?

This dude grew up with rich parents lol im hating becasue i grew up poor

T.I.T.S. Love CJC awesome products amazing customer support.
