What did you do to your Gen3 today?

[Demon-HeMi]

Here is how the truck started...



Paint was terrible, i could show u tons of pictures, after i washed it so many scratches became visible that i never thought they would come out, and of course i did the sport bumper, shaved grill, roll pan, wheels, and more on this truck to get it looking as good as it does, i still have a long way to go on looks for it though...


i replaced that front fender to get that gaping dent in it out too

And on the first motor swap...

 

[02ramboi]

This truck was one of those abused work trucks when i got it, it was beat to hell and scratched more than you can believe, the reason i didnt buy a new motor is because the cost of one is well above the worth of the truck, im not willing to do that, honestly i have mostly time in this truck as far as that goes, i mean honestly if im going to spend over 2 grand for a motor, i might as well just buy another truck that is running for not much more than that, i have one ive been talking to thats less than 10 mins from my house and they are asking 3k for it

Ok gotcha make sense doesn’t look like it was abused at all you did a good job lol hopefully you can get the tranny situation figured out

my radio is going fast.....I really like the steering wheel controls....if I upgrade I lose them....might just get another oem radio.....big decision for me.

Some aftermarket radios are compatible. Just go to best but and get a decent one and have them install it.

Use what I paid for the tonneau as a booster. Hell you might end up lucky like I did with my head unit and get a bunch of rebates and a free install.

Oh. How do you do it? I tried when I did my debadge and the heat gun+fishing line did nothing. Moved to oven cleaner, goof off, and a screwdriver and still nothing.

They make a harness to retain all stock controls for a aftermarket stereo. I have it in mine and all controls work perfectly

I went oem refurbish for 50 bucks......save some coin.....Usually not in the truck long enough to appreciate the tunes.

Emblem comes off pretty easily, after that shaving the hole left from the emblem is not something for your average DIY guy

See emblem 100% gone

I been wanting to do a color match grill on my truck with a shaved emblem. How did you do yours?

 

[DietDodge]

Hey demon if you want I'll take your black 03 and you can come over to help me with the SRT-10 swap XD

 

[ramportin1]

Also went to install my 4th gen emblem I finished on my tailgate and found out after all the gosh dang work I did it simply won't work, just shaped to differently and concaved to much, impossible to make it sit flush. Probably should've checked that BEFORE I went to work on it Lol o well, I'll save it for some day when I get a 4th gen.
