4th Gen Seat Swap in the Megacab Cummins 3rd Gen Dodge! *tow rig mods*
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
The seats are one of the biggest downfalls to me of the 3rd gen dodge, they have no support when they're nice, but most of them are destroyed from the frame design tearing the fabric. instead of repairing the stock seats, we tracked down and swapped in some 4th gen dodge seats and they are AMAZING! Huge difference and super easy to do!

garrett man I’m sayin. It doesn’t matter what the tow rating is, if you tow with it, no matter the vehicle, things are going to wear out faster. You cant expect Factory to last forever, especially if you’re towing with it on the regular. If you’re going to by a “tow rig” be prepared to pay for s built transmission. It’s a lot of $$ but it’s worth it.

I do miss it, but I still believe it wouldn't have pulled this trailer very well. it was short wheelbase where this truck is a longwheel base chassis plus being a 3500 it has stiffer rear leafs, already has a built trans, and intake, tuner, exhaust. It just needs to stop breaking random stuff all the time. lol

Taylor Ray they both have their pros and cons I think with a few mods to the duramax you could’ve pulled whatever you want wherever you wanted but I do agree on why you got the dodge as far as having a gooseneck hitch and built trans, I think it’s more the quality of the duramax compared to the dodge that made it stand out

Did you try to use your old jump seat on the new brackets? I got 2010 seats from a local yard for my 07 and didn't know at the time that I needed the jump seat as well. If I knew whether they match up I'll just get brackets...
Taylor, this was a huge help. I have a Gen 3 quad-cab myself and have been wanting to swap out the front and rear cloth seats for upgraded leather seats. Knowing the Gen 4's don't require a major modifications was my biggest question. I like the truck without the spacers and I think it's better to have well fitting shoes on the truck, especially when you are towing that amount of weight. Have you ordered a new vent cap for the trailer, or does it still get wet inside when it rains? She just needs some thorough tender care, not quick fixes.....because she was not maintained as well previously IMO. I have gotten as high as 26 mpg in my manual 3500. Empty of course.

3rd Gen. Dodgers of the easiest vehicles I have ever worked on I have the 07 Mega cab at it's been nothing but a joy to work on the seat pad I got on Amazon for 50 bucks put it on and 15 minutes without taking the seat Out And they are the best looking Trucks outside of a 1979 Ford
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE LINKS TINY AT THE END
Love the truck videos
Did you torque the lugs to the correct specs? Cause that's kinda why you do it
Decent video and informative about the 4th gen seats fitting in a 3rd gen. One thing that kinda messed with my head a bit is that it would have been a great time to at least vacuum the cab while the seats were out instead of installing the replacements over the top of all that debris. haha, As far as the parts failures on many of today's vehicles I feel that it is because most of the manufacturers no longer make their own parts. Just one of many examples: I had a 2001 Camaro SS with the SLP Package (Basically a lot of the same parts that the Vette had including the infamous LS1 piston slap) The brake rotors would warp between 2K-3K miles. They would just keep replacing them under warranty and I finally asked why they don't just fix the problem by producing a better rotor? Their answer was that they are made by a 3rd party manufacturer and it is cheaper for them to just keep replacing them under warranty than to have GM start making them. That is the dumbest thing that I had heard. This is a huge part of why we can't have nice things anymore. As far as the design of 3rd gen Dodge Ram is concerned their HVAC boxes Suck! Broken blend doors and diverter doors are a stupid design and a PITA to repair all of the different doors in that box. I still love my RAM but like any other truck that I've owned it's not without issues. Thanks for the video.
Looking like a Diesel Mechanic!
You have to vacuum the carpet before the install of the seats.
Still waiting on the turbo C10 build
All you need is good drill set and some large torx set and just drill a nice hole then pound the torx in and work it out with PB or some other penetration oil usually works for me anyway
I bought a 4th gen console for my 3rd gen, will it work with 3r gen seats or only the 4th gen? thanks
I have the same truck and I have been looking for spacers, what spacers do you have?
Sun coast transmissions make amazing transmission for rams, the platforms are amazing just gotta do them up right
Should have keep the chevy
I bought 4th gen seats for my 3rd gen, can I use 3rd gen middle seat with 4th gen seats?
Nice to know I can swap out my seats for a 4th gen
Will those bolt right up in a 2002 slt quadcab
What year and model of truck did those new seats come out of?
What years front seats will fit in a 2003 Dodge ram 1500 reg cab. Thanx

Man..... Crazy... If i seem red flags i would check and recheck everything.. know you know.. when getting sests.. believe their is quad cab crew cab and mega. And a think a classic.. quad cab is normal seats and doors up front.. back is smaller doors and not to great of a leg room.. a crew cab is a full 4 door seats which the back is more legroom then the quad.. and the mega cab is so much soace in the back can possibly stretch your legs..and finally the single cab... Only the two seats no backseats at all..am also excited for mine.. i took a least 2 weeks finding these seats.. finally getting them shipped!! By the end of this week of mid week next week i whould habe them.. its from a 2015 all leather blacked out 450 for front seats and back.. putting it in a 2003 quad cab.. 6 inch lift starlights black suede uptop. Touchscreen. Remove old plastic and get all leather dash. 1000 dollar headlights revese kight leds. And remove the bumper for aome steel bumper up front and back.. see who can install sensors on them.. to not crash into other cars crushing them in the process😂😂 has 35 might go with 37.. but also removing the back window with the middle able to open the window for fresh air.. and replacing the center concel with same yr but just leather.. removing the dash and upgrading it to newer look... Has a led bar up top for dark areas... What else is there to do.. amd lastly big biy upgrades with brakes and pads and rotors. For heavy tires.and shocks with coils. To make the ride too quality.. rims in brown color.has allqays been my dream to oneday rebuild the truck to a bit more modern. Up to date.. and the most expensive is ceramic tint all the way around and get the fog lights to work. 15+ yrs strong and just dont want to let go of the truck. Am 23 now and just need that final touch after all this and get it in candy blue with heavy flakes.. and a reverse camera with touchscreen...
Pro tip always add grease to your lug nuts the newer the vehicle's the worse the thread or nuts! Good luck
I've had the same problem with lug nuts like that
Time for windshield wipers !
How much did you pay for those seats?
but I also have a 2001 Dodge Ram 2500 diesel and I changed the front seats and center console the seats came out of possibly a 2016 or 2018 Nissan Titan the biggest truck that Nissan makes but the seats fit perfectly in my 2001 Dodge I just had a drill new bolt holes but the width the height was perfect it's not like I had a big spaces between the door the seats look like they were made for the truck the guy I bought them from must have crashed his truck but the seeds were brand new
Man, please keep the dodge, for real it's an amazing truck, once you get through those annoyances! Itll be well worth it!

AC for the 06 dodges went out and I believe was a recall... my shit doesn’t work but fuck who needs AC when you’re hauling ass?
Those are not just Dodge problems. My 2000 f250 7.3l. rubbed cooler lines went out, injectors bad, injection pressure sensor died, back pressure sensor died, and my passenger and back seat is warn. My 7.3l excursion different issues but same amount. That the deal with diesel work trucks. My wife hate my truck but I love it.

Would you be interested in some afe items and a brand new banks intercooler for it. In exchange for a huge price cut and put some control arms on?
I as a person living in Oregon (24+ years) laugh at your rain talk.
the problem that you're having with your AC I had the same problem with my Dodge Ram pickup the system needs to be charged it's just how it comes in two the cab it goes from the driver side to the pasture side and by the time it gets to the passenger side AC is warm because the heat of the motor so I brought it to a mechanic and he just maybe go get some AC Pro stop leak put that through evacuated and recharged my truck and the AC was fine
It's not that it's a Dodge it's that it looks well abused by the previous owner. The trans lines is an issue I ran a new factory set and got a couple years before they rubbed through. So I changed everything over to teflon lined steel braid.
Taylor, how are the Lionheart tires treating you? I was thinking of ordering some for my Tahoe.
My dad has a 4th gen Ram 2500 and I've done numerous roadtrips in it and i can say from my experiences that those seats are very comfortable.
thats thise cheap aftermarket lugnuts man id get some good dorman brand lugnuts and throw those ones you have as far into the woods as you can ... :)
That part has nothing to do with Dodge..... That's the cheap Chinese lug nuts 🤔
Get some black headlights like durtymaxjack. Also u should definately have bodevision prime it and paint it in paint match raptor liner.
