This fix is not going to be perfect. I know that going into it, but its only gonna be around $500 and time. Maybe one day Ill get a new bed but for now this will do. Plus it will give me some experience in paint work and working on vehicles in general as I don’t do it on a daily basis.

Im sure you already know this but be careful when welding sheet metal, very easy to warp it

Hey guys I’m new here but what I did today falls in this category. I own a 04 ram 1500 slt. I took out the 4 to 7 pin trailer plug and installed the oem 7 pin trailer plug. Part number is on the picture. The install is pretty straight forward. Next is the brake controller. I searched everywhere and couldnt find the blue plug . I can push a button and the dash says tow/haul but no brake controller plug.

Came home from work and got the passenger side manifold gasket fixed up. Went really easy, which is the exact opposite of how I expected a job like this to go lol

Had to do a startup with no manifolds real quick too haha

Update. Did one more run. Very happy. Mid 15s on a stock truck seems pretty good. :D
