    First time truck owner, first time lowering, is it really this labor intensive...?

    My truck has got just over 30k on it. I'm looking at lowering 2/4.5, should I get the new control arms and wheel bearings while doing it with the truck having so little wear or should I wait? I am gonna be swapping brakes later on too so that will be another time where I'll be neck deep in the...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Did you previously have OEM fog lights installed or did you have plastic inserts? I have the plastic inserts and I was thinking about either buying aftermarket fog lights and running them with a switch in the cab or tying some led lights into the fog light inserts and run them off my high beam...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Since you've put them on have you noticed and difference in performance, gas mileage, sound tone, anything like that? They look beautiful man. I've got a ram air intake on and I was thinking about doing Gibson headers as well...

    I want this... I'm sure I'm not the only one

    Not saying I'd own it; but it would be interesting to drive, that's for sure.

    Swapping mufflers

    I had just installed a thrush on mine. It's nice and throaty at idle but screams in the higher RPM's. However sometimes I wish it was a bit louder. It's a very cost effective muffler though at under $40.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Previous owner was my grandpa. He's never turned a wrench on any of his cars, let alone his truck. I lucked out because he had bought it in 2005 and had only put 28,000 on it. My odometer currently reads 29,500. I've only been able to drive it outright for the last month. It was all stock...

    Seems as though that was the case as I just checked underneath while I was removing my step rails. Discs on all 4. This is a good thing because now I can just buy a 4 wheel kit! Whoohoo!

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Well, I'll need to check again. I had read and been told by the previous owner that there were discs in the back and drums in the front. Can't trust what people say I suppose. I'll make sure to check and keep you guys updated. Damn, I feel stupid!

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Anyone converted their gen 3's front brakes to discs? How hard is it? I'm planning on swapping brakes in a couple months and I'd like to get discs for all 4 wheels. The way my truck is setup is with drums in front and discs in back. I'm already having squeaking in the front left so I think I am...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Just received my muffler in the mail today. Going to be installing later today after my shift is over at 1:30. As for the Dodge Caliber; my brother had one as his first car and we did about 5,000 miles in about 10 months. It may be that it had 140,000 on it, it could be that it had not been...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Only problem with that is that I am going to be calmping not welding. Does thrush make any clampable mufflers? Edit: Nevermind, just read some reviews saying that they clamped it.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Well, granted I've only had it for a week now, so I don't have much fuel tracking. But I've yet to dip below 14 since it was added. Okay, then I'll definitely look into the super 40. I was looking to save a bit of scratch with the glass packs(college budget and all), but if you think that a...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    A lot has happened. Got the ram air intake installed, now pulling 15mpg! Got my rear lights installed with a bit of trouble, before grandpa let the truck come to me he decided to jackknife a trailer into it. This resulted in an hour worth of rubber mallet and reshaping the tail light mounts...

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Got the tweeters installed. Also got some new battery posts on as well. Pics will come later as there are still wires exposed as I didn't have access to a deep socket set to get the apillars off.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Got the subwoofer and amp installed. 2300w of power in a regular cab is ALMOST overkill!! Tweeters are coming in tomorrow. Then next week my ram air intake is coming! Super excited.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Yeah, commuting even in my light 4.7 RWD RCSB takes a toll on the wallet. To the tune of 13MPG on average. Granted I do drive her like I stole her sometimes.

    What did you do to your Gen3 today?

    Question for y'all. I've just recently been able to drive my ram full time(reason for the lack of posts and updates). Grandpa didn't want to let it go completely! I've got it now and I'm looking into routing wires from inside the cab to the bed. I've got a marine grade fuse block under the...

    2005 RCSB Ram Build Thread

    I just put in a new Alpine head unit. With a little sub dash modification she was in there. I am not sure why but it seems the sub dash image decided to flip itself over, you guys get the gist though.

    At this point, you might want to just get a cheap radio off of crutchfield to install... I don't know your situation but its dead easy to do...
