    I've got a 2015 same color but Cummins. I put those same lights in my rear bumper. I just installed AUX 3" amber cube lights in the front, stupid bright. Another game changer is a pedal commander or pedal monster. Amazing driveability upgrade. They build so much lag into that pedal.

      I'm in the process of adding fog lights to my 2017 Ram 1500. Already bought a new bumper with the outlet in it for the lights. Wanted to keep everything looking stock. Bought a new headlight switch. Bought a new aux light panel and a new fuse bank under the hood. Unable to do the work myself as it is out of my ability. It's becoming so crazy stupid expensive that I'm about to give up. Throw all the stuff in the trash and go back to the original bumper.

    Just ordered a 180 thermostat off rock auto for $10, another cheap and easy upgrade to keep your engine running cooler

    • @pogojp
      @pogojp ปีที่แล้ว +7

      180 is too cold for a Ram engine to run properly. Almost all Chrysler engine's run optimally between 191-195 degrees. Modern day engines do not run better at lower temperatures. It's a cheap & easy way to cost yourself more money. Yep. $10 bucks to make your engine run worse. Cheapest fix of all, Leave it alone. The amount of engineering that goes into the engines today, are way over your & my head. If it isn't broke, leave it alone.

      @@Texas12valve I had a 77 Nova that I did this too because it had a cracked thermostat housing (the one welded to the engine, a pain in the ass to fix) so for a while, I simply removed the thermostat & drove around with it ice cold. It never really heated up so the crack wouldn't open up and leak antifreeze everywhere. It was the cheapest fix to a major problem. I had to do that in the winter in indiana. Never was a problem for the straight 6, only problem really was the fact it wouldn't ever have heat. Ironically, it didn't matter. The car didn't have heat or ac anyway. Windshield froze over on me once while driving. That was interesting. Lmao. Fun times.

    Was pretty interested until he started saying to tint your lights. I've seen & heard of it being done. The purpose, to look cool & make it harder for cars to see you at night & slam into the back of you. I think safety features such as lights that let people know where you are, shouldn't be messed with. That's moronic just for a "Darker look". Also, I'm not an electrician or a mechanical engineer but I would assume that changing out all the lights to be brighter, wouldn't be the best idea. It's almost as if this guy made a video of the coolest unsafe things to do to your truck.

    • @j.d.mcginn6946
      @j.d.mcginn6946 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Changing to led lights is essential; incandescent bulbs will melt the plastic housing. LED never does. As for spray painting tail lights? No way I'd ever consider that. When someone rear ends you your insurance probably won't pay since your lights don't meet dot standards. Can't say I blame them.
