Best or better anyway cruising rpm
I'm pretty sure I have 4.10s I havent counted teeth yet but, I'd love to go to 3.55s though. Shes pretty high up there.

Stanley's Truck Remodel- Dove in Head First!
I really wish I could find a "spray on" automotive fiberglass... lol This mystical product would be very handy. I guess I'll take my time and add some layers using the tried and true application

I will be putting a couple of layers of fiberglass shortly. Hope it goes well.

Brand new VP44
I have had good luck with remans, CPP Diesel or DAP always has good deals. I wouldn't dream of spending that much on a vp44... 1k to 1.2k tops. Even at that point I'd still question a P7100 conversion..

That's a valid point, I did think of doing that but this will save some money and I can add some custom gauge pods. And its prolly going to be alot stronger than anything else when I'm done with it. Worst case if it breaks it breaks, not out that much money. Pics of some surgery time. Also cleaned up the fan blade... Dont worry its not brake clean or solvent... only a concoction of purple power lol....

Great idea @Mopar1973Man Didnt cross my mind just yet... I'll admit it all looks a bit overwhelming

You know how the morning after your like what the heck did I do well I kinda feel that way even though I was completely sober doing this venture. Next to come out is the HVAC and I will thoroughly clean it then clean all behind the dash area and get all the dust and dirt out. Most likely I will replace the AC condenser and the heater core even though they're not leaking they might shortly. I also been getting some pretty good ideas for a custom dash since I can see it all now lol.

Its 170$ for carpet from LMC. I found: boom-mat sheets and spray; lizard skin, and Al's HNR spray; for the bottom layer. Not sure on which one ill use but I"m excited I found it. Still torn on reusing my rubber flooring or buying the carpet. Obviously I would save money reusing mine but @Mopar1973Man is right, the rubber would hold moisture. So it might be a throw of the dice for money sake... lol On another note I started taking off my dash top this week, almost there. Ill post pics this weekend. Alot of the tabs broke off when removing the little screw that hold it on. My plan is to just put a thin fiberglass layer underneath and epoxy what tabs broke, then fiberglass the top while adding some custom gauge pods molded into the top then sand bondo/ paint or wrap in material... Maybe I'm optimistic that it wont shatter into one million pieces.... HAHA

Looking good @Blueox01 So is all that fiber "crap" under my rubber just sound deadening material or insulating? Was thinking of I put a roll on sealer then some sound deadening, prolly wouldn't need the extra layer...

Lets see who you are!
Thanks guys, love it!

- Gauge cluster overlay
Been searching all morning and can not find a reputable company to buy from. I'd like a complete cluster overlay prolly white cause that seems the most common and easy to read. Anyone have these or know where to buy from?- Stanley's Truck Remodel- Dove in Head First!
Ahh, never thought of that. Well maybe ill price a carpet set from LMC Truck. Wife is not going to like this bill...- Stanley's Truck Remodel- Dove in Head First!
There was a little tube by the blower motor that came off, Ill check for another one when I pull the HVAC box out. The dash might be a dream at this point, but i have some really good ideas. It might take awhile though... Lots of sheet metal work. And Ill admit I'm kinda scared to start ripping out the dash............. As for the floor whats the best liner to put down? I dont think I want to rhino line it, as I have a factory rubber liner instead of carpet. Ill prolly just do some kind of paint or roll on liner then put a new "Pad" down and lay rubber floor on top...? Maybe that sound barrier stuff?- Stanley's Truck Remodel- Dove in Head First!
Started out just gonna clean out heater core etc then it turned into this. The entire cab is dismantled. Ha! Found some moisture issues, gonna clean up some wiring, put some new heat shield/noise damper in, blow out the dust, take out the whole hvac box and clean it, make some new door panels, redo my headliner, get seats cleaned etc. Any recommendations while I'm this far in? I honestly debated pulling the whole dash out and then building my own dash how I wanted it... if anyone wants to spark some interest in this I have a few ideas and pics. Door panels shouldn't be that hard to make, unless I just say screw it and buy some new ones or junk yard ones. But I really like the idea of custom door panels and dash! I'm sure I'll be doing some other stuff but this is a good starter for a thread. More pics coming!- 2014 Dodge Ram
I really only know 2nd and some 3rd gen stuff and all the things that can interchange between the 1500 and 2500/3500. My wife drives a 2014 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 4 door short bed, and with the hemi. I'm gonna be looking to buy some new shocks (maybe small lift too), maybe some other go fast goodies for her truck. I would like to know if possible - which years interchange and is the bodies the same way as say the 2nd gens? Hope this makes sense and someone understands what I'm getting at lol.- Rear sway bar end links
I have took both front and rear sway bars off for about 1 year now, seems a bit smoother ride for just back and forth to work. Towing with out them really sucks. So I have decided to put them back on and Im gonna need to find which links etc to get all the way around. Pretty much new everything minus the bar! So suggestions welcome!!! Taking them off was a pain in the *** I agree!! - Gauge cluster overlay
