Finally got er back home! Carpet came in at about 4 today, so i spread it out and gave it a good while to “relax” even tho it didn’t really do much. Got it cut, put in, seats put in, and drove er home for the first time in over a week. Also got to wire up the 12v in the console and it worked perfectly

The only thing I’ll say is..i’ll pull plastic trim panels all day long but I won’t ever be replacing carpet again for as long as i live lol

The first half of this big project is DONE

Replaced seat cushion, put in seat heaters, and the center cup holder. Coming together good. 27b06ea5151b4d975b4ca29d76f80d83.jpg47b1e71190104d733e38be1225f2eb6e.jpg1b0b193bbaa06429c92ae596a73dcb63.jpg

When you say you replaced seat cushion, does that mean you had them reupholstered? Or do the cushion part of the seats come off and can be replaced without removing the seats? I'm asking because my seats are shredded and the rest of the interior is great. Thanks

I just did the cushion, using the old upholstery. I've seen the cushions and the upholstery on Amazon or ebay. Might also try LMC truck. Made mine feel like I bought a new truck. After 205k miles the cushion was worn to a slope towards the door.

I need help ! Lol . 04 ram 1500 5.7
110k .
Will not start without laying on gas.
Will not idle , sounds rough. shuts off when driving . No lights on dash except “abs”.
Mechanic says sounds like running on 6 cylinders and suggests putting another motor in it. . It seems to have great power when rpms are above 1500!. If gas is given it will stay running. Replaced EGR, MAP , plugs , and cleaned TB . Any ideas to save a potentially pricey decision . Thanks folks.
Did you change throttle position sensor as well? My truck has done this to, but in winter when very cold. Won't start. I floor it, pump it, it'll fire. Then runs like ****, even when warmed up. I'll have to drive with 2 feet to keep tapping gas pedal if I have to come to a stop.

After looking at what you purchased I would have to say the credit is all yours for making it look good. A job well done my friend. Thanks for the info,
Thank you. I ordered this one originally, but I got the wrong size. The leather on my wheel is pretty worn and I did re dye it and clear it, but I wanted to add some thickness and cushion to it. And I hate the slip on wheel covers

Hooked it to the boat trailer and drove it to the local ramp to launch the boat it was towing.

Hey guys, I am honestly fairly new to the tuning world. I own a 2006 ram with a Hemi 5.7. I currently have a K&N air intake, throttle body space, performance exhaust and a pedal commander on my truck. I've been wanting to get a tuner or a performance chip, but I am on the fence about which one to get. Diablo, superchips, bully dog... I just don't know. Would anyone care to help me out on any tips on what to get? I also don't wanna cause harm to my motor. I just wanna do it right.
