2018 RAM Build - Part 6 - Gets AMAZING Color Matched Makeover!
In part six of the build series on the 2018 RAM 1500 Tradesman, we are doing a huge transformation and color matching several pieces on the truck. We're taking apart the front and rear bumpers, and the mirror covers to have them paint matched to the body. It turned out amazing and looks like a completely different and new truck now. We still have plenty in store for the truck so make sure to subscribe and follow along with the build. Thanks for watching!

Excellent video, it definitely explains everything you need to know before you decide to purchase. I'm definitely not buying one now 👍
Glad it was helpful and thanks for watching!!
Can this work with a stock intake/airbox by cutting the top open to match?
Nevermind on this, I see the top half of the stock air box would be unfiltered air if that even lines up. Great that this ramair kit is available for $100, but requires a $600 Mopar intake kit. So I'm definitely skipping this and going on3 turbo kit on the intake side. Crazy this setup is 15% of the cost of going turbo that includes intake.
I thought the same thing, the Mopar setup is PRICEY!!! They think highly of it. I ultimately want to do a procharger setup and it mounts in this location, been trying to brainstorm if I could still use the Ram Air part for any good use with it. Thanks for watching!
I got burned the same way on a Cenzoar 4k camcorder. Almost 200 dollars and absolute trash. In the end, it only shot in 480p. It had almost 4 thousand reviews and all were positive. I only buy name brand reputable video cameras now. Lesson learned! A lot of reviews on Amazon are fake or they were paid to leave a good review...in my opinion.
Hate to hear that. I was the same way, read all those great reviews and then figured out they must all be fake or paid for. Made me so mad, live and learn I guess. Got an insta360 now and it's great. Thanks for watching.
I bought one, got any spare dynamite please 😮
Oh no, not you too!! I used all mine up for new years, lol.
Thanks for the very informative video
Absolutely, happy to help, thanks for watching!
What fuse did you guys tap into
OMG I had a pond in the back of my ram. I bought the new ones and they are great they drain outward. I ran a hose over the back and nothing came in anymore
That's great to hear you got it fixed up! It's nice when things work out like that. Thanks for watching!
2017 2 door bighorn. Fixing to replace mine.
Hope it goes smoothly! Thanks for watching.
Thanks. I’m glad I didn’t buy one.
Glad I could help save you some money. Thanks for watching!
I bought it second hand for 10 bucks (had some cables missing) and the bloody battery is inflated. All i need is a battery, I cannot give a damn about anything else. Genuinely pissed off, but I fell for it anyway 😅
At least you only spent 10 bucks on it! I could ship you the battery if you wanted it. I'm not going to need it if you happened to have watched my short on it. Thanks for watching.
Excellent video! I have a recurring leak somewhere. Replaced third brake light with a good gasket from Amazon. Still leaking now, and when I removed the third brake light everything seemed dry. Might take it off again and add Silicone RTV to be extra safe. Now I think it is either (1) this issue in the video, (2) the roof/body weatherstrip seals, and/or (3) something to do with the back window or horizontal sliding window. Bought new vents, be here soon. Hope this is the issue! I am getting so tired of foggy windows, wet carpet, baking soda, and DampRid!!!!
I bet it's the vents. That would be the cheapest easiest thing to try first. Good luck with it and hope you get it solved. Thanks for watching!
Be sure to watch the short for tips and tricks on the best way to use your new camera if you purchased one of these. th-cam.com/users/shortscdddtt2qAIE?feature=share
Like you I bought a duo set .which I came across your video first . I found it will connect to phone but not WiFi so can't us it on phone I am hoping it will record on card fingers crossed . Like you messaged & email them no reply. DON'T WASTE Your MONEY on it.
Hate to hear you are having issues with it too, hopefully you can find some use for it. Check out my short to see what I ended up doing with it, th-cam.com/users/shortscdddtt2qAIE?feature=share Thanks for watching!
I ever had that issue on my 14 but they did the recall anyway and ever since it’s stupid hard to open my tailgate and in the winter sometimes it won’t come unlocked. May do some digging.
Hope you get it figured out. Might could grease some things to help them move more freely, just a thought. Thanks so much for watching.
Instructions unclear, my dogs on fire
Lol, no warranty or guarantee either expressed or implied by using this method!
Hey not sure if anyone else tried this but, I had the same issue with the holes not lining up on the light bracket so I actually just removed the bracket from my Amazon ones and put the oem ones on and it fit perfect
Thanks for the info, I wish I had tried or thought about that too. Thankfully mine are still hanging in there with no issues or vibrating. Thanks for watching!
Yea no problem the new brackets had screws and the slot was slightly smaller so I only had to get 4 big washers to make it swap over correctly and then it has all been perfect so far
McCaws taste like chicken
Lol, good to know! Thanks for watching.
I have a few questions. Could you explain briefly the custom tuning process? Once I purchase let’s say for example the trinity or i3,7 etc, how does the custom tuning work? I have two in my mind, Jay Greene and HemiFever (like urs) Next, let’s say I purchased longtube headers, which is almost required to have a tune, could I contact either or another tuner to include the LT headers in the custom tune so when they are installed, I already have its custom tune ready so I won’t be down? Lastly, how quickly can you return to stock tunes and or swap to factory locked pcm? Thank you!
Hey there. The custom tuning process is super easy. They'll email you a custom file, I had one for engine and one for transmission. Drag and drop from computer to tuner, and it'll show up on the custom tune options. It typically doesn't take about 10-15 minutes to load both and be ready to go, same for going back to stock. Only thing about going back to stock after a bunch of upgrades, is whether it'll run right with a stock tune. The majority of custom tunes will cover most bolt ons, like headers, cold air intakes, etc. It's usually when you go forced induction you need more tuning or a new file. Hope that helps, let me know if there are other questions and thanks for watching!
So I just did mine and I had to get the info from my old pcm and load it on to the Diablo tuner then I could plug in my modified pcm and the truck would fire up until I did that my truck would not turn on but the instructions didn’t tell me that at all
Hey thanks for that tip. I bought the spare one and it was supposed to come preprogrammed with my info already on it, but I wonder if that wasn't still some of my issue too. Once I got past that problem, never happened again. Thanks for watching!
@ yes that’s what it said for me as well it was “preprogrammed” but I got it figured out just kinda like you I had my own issues
I have been procrastinating on buying but after seeing your video the procrastination went away! 😊. Thanks for the video. 👍
Glad it helped, it might be useful for something, but I still haven't found out what!! Thanks for watching!
The barcode is in manual, even instructions for passcode
Exactly! Thanks for sharing. I wonder if some people get them used or from someone and don't have the manual, because it's all right there. This one had good instructions. Thanks for watching!
My as built set up on forscan only shows one line for the ACM which is 727-01-01-0030. I dont see any other lines such as the one for the EQ settings. What does this mean ? Any clues ??
Thank you. We needed this today.
Helpful video, but you could’ve cut the video by half by quit repeating yourself or giving your opinion on why it was leaking. It doesn’t matter why it was leaking. All that matters is it was, and you had to change it . instead of just showing how to do it.
Well, can't win them all. Thanks for watching!
I bought the 2 pack 😂 tried them and immediately gave them to my kids. You get what you pay for
That's the truth! I'm trying to find a good "use" for mine still! Thanks for watching!
I was there last night! It was fun! I ruled the score of the day at TSM with 431,000 points!
That was a fun ride, we all enjoyed it. Glad you had a fun time too! Thanks for watching.
Hi from CALIFORNIA SoCal. I liked the part where you dont have the means to make it look worth a damn lol. It came out good I have a 16 1500 2x4 crew cab 5.7 with the 3.92 rear 1 of 2 made. Lol great here in CALIFORNIA with the gas at almost 7 dollars a gallon last summer and around 15 mpg city 17 on a good day the freeways.
We were very happy with the results. That's some killer MPG you got there lol! Thanks for watching.
@RaymondLamb My 14 Plum Crazy Purple Challenge R/T Classic is no better. It's been by the worst. I also bought that new. It just had heads crack at less than 40k miles. The service sucks but thankfully, I put the lifetime warranty on it. That car has so much paperwork that the glove box wouldn't hold it.
Thank goodness for the warranty! I've heard horror stories about the heads cracking. I've got a 2017 RAM that I've done a bunch to on my channel as well. Just custom tuned it with 93 Octane performance tune, but the gas price still isn't as bad here as CA sounds like!
@@RaymondLamb I can't stand Newsom he wants to add another 65 cents to fix our freeways. I see nothing done. I don't know when the gas was under 4 dollars here in SoCal. Mom has a 2010 R/T that also had heads crack at about 50k miles it was covered under warranty but I had to go through hell with corporate. It was the passenger side head on both of them. The 16 Ram has been ok so far with 63k miles. I'm thinking it's a manufacturing defect they won't fess up to. They both do mostly freeway driving at 75 to 80 mph that shouldn't hurt anything. They also have dealer service they tried to pull that on me also. I should have junked the Plum Crazy under CA Lemon Law it by far over qualified.
It is pretty good video bad if you can talk less will be less bored! Don’t give me wrong just a suggestion
Hey, thanks for the feedback! I get comments to talk more, talk less, so it's hard to get it just right, but thanks for watching!!
Just bought one of these I guess I should have checked this out first.
Well maybe you can still find a use for it and maybe yours will work better than mine did! Thanks for watching!
Did you swap the camera model names on park walk ?
Hey there, should all be correct, I triple checked it to make sure I didn't screw it up lol. Let me know if you have any questions, thanks for watching!
Thanks for your review, was thinking of replacing my Hero 4 which I won't do now.
Glad you found the video and saved some money. Hopefully you can find something better out there, this isn't it!! Thanks for watching!
I'm glad I found your video. (I use my s21 ultra for video n was looking for something smaller etc.) N I almost fell for it as well. Thanks for posting!
No problem, happy to help. I video on my S21 Ultra too and it does great but needed something else. Broke down and got the insta360 X4 and love it. Thanks for watching.
Were they just push pins to secure the liner? Or are there bolts as well
Everything holding the liner from factory was push pins. I added some custom bolts when replacing to make sure it held to new bumper, but originally just all push pins. Hope that helps, thanks for watching!
Thank you!
You are very welcome, thanks for watching!
Did your girl economy improve? The hemi I inherited had already got 12- 14 mpg. 6 mpg less and half the power of my Duramax sad😢
I would say it improved slightly, maybe 1-2 MPG. But I tuned it around the same time with a custom 93 octane tune and so I can't keep my foot out of it!! Thanks for watching!
Was about to buy 2 for the same reasons that you mentioned, but it just seemed too good to be true . Appreciate you putting the video up , saved everyone else from getting ripped off it just sucks that you took the hit for everyone else . All the best from Perth Western Australia
I wasn't hoping for top of the line, but was thinking it would be a little better. Thanks for watching!
I'm really glad I found your video! Thanks for posting!
Sure thing, glad it helped and thanks for watching!
Thank you - Just saved myself some money!!!! All the best
Happy to help, it might work for some situations, but definitely not what I was after. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the honest review, with so many good reviews on Facebook it's amazing that I haven't found one positive review anywhere else.
I thought the same thing, thanks for watching!
Looks good. Do you have any water leaks in the back of the cab?
Thanks, no water leaks from 3rd brake light, I did have some from cab vents and did a video on it if you need to check it out. Thanks for watching!
@ yea, I just replaced mine.
I wish you would have shown a close up view of putting those break clips on, and installing the rear rotors. Thanks.
Sorry I didn't show all the little details, it was more of an overview and about the kit more than a step by step. The clips are easy though, they can't really go but one way and are different sizes, so just lay them out and match them. The originals slide off or pop off with a screwdriver, and new ones slide right on. Didn't show the rear because it was pretty much exactly like the fronts. Hope that helps, thanks for watching.
Hahaha hell yeah ! This is what I needed and I just ordered . Reversing in the woods or in country land .my stocks are ok .. but I just upgraded all my headlights and fogs yesterday and now I wonder if they make reverse lights led and yessss they do. Total package complete . Next time I go to the river for fishing my gosh lol load that boat up with light !!
That sounds great! I'm still really liking these and they are working perfect. I upgraded my 3rd brake light and cargo lights too, and now everything shines like daylight!!! Made a video on it too if you're interested. Thanks for watching!
Actually I found the part on the MOPAR site for $0.75 so I ordered it. Will be almost all of $10 when UPS delivers it later today and I'll follow your excellent example. I need to take that tailgate apart anyway to follow a different YT video to address an issue with tg he backup camera. Thanks for this lead, dont know why our truck was never recalled. I asked NHTSA when I was on their site.
I did mine all from the inside. You can angle them just right and take them out and put back in. I did tie a string on them in case I dropped them.
Glad that worked out for you, I tried to get it to work that way but couldn't get it. Thanks for watching!
Ray, not sure when you made this video, pre-inflationary times maybe(?). Followed your link in late November 2024 and found they now want $9.50 for it but it's out of stock. Different from yours which falls open, mine wont latch closed unless unless I hold it up and lock it with the key. I'll call the dealer for an appointment, let them worry about. Thanks for the tip that's its a recall issue.
Hope they get you fixed up, mine is still hanging in there although different issue. Thanks for watching!
Couldn't you just plug the wire with the fuse on it into any open fuse slot and just make sure the lights stay on when you want?
You could definitely try other fuse slots. Problem is a lot of them have power all the time so the DRL would stay on all the time, not just went it was switched on or running. But you could look for another one that works for you, thanks for watching!
Richard S. Shaver (b. 1907, d. 1975), discouraged art student and sometime leftist fellow-traveler, was a welder in the early 1930s in a noisy Ford factory in Wisconsin. He later claimed that this was where he first started hearing the voices--voices warning him of vast caves under the earth, where lurk the dero: prehistoric, devolved cannibals who prey on our minds with ancient super-science. Also in the mix: lost continents, hollow planets, starships the size of a moon, titanic god-like races of beings, and ... sexy aliens. A heady combination of pre-fabricated sci-fi memes, which would later become part of the strange loop connecting UFOs, pop culture, fan-boy obsessions, and the occult.
