I paid $23,994 for my ‘13 Ram with 11k miles. Nine years later I had to change a front headlight bulb. That’s the first thing I took off of the truck. So happy with my purchase. New trucks cost way too much.

I was looking at a '13 ram with 250k miles for 14k and it got headlights, tails, wheels, back bumper, rims, tires, and side mirrors. I don’t know if i should get it if it’s a good truck and if it can be fast and if it can last. I know they might not go together but if without affecting the engine it can still last until.

a 2013 with 250k on it for 14k? Must be a nice truck for that price. I got my 2015 with 115k on it for 9k. Of course mine's about as basic as it gets, RWD, V6, tradesman, single cab. But it's a solid truck@@sebastianpena490

I’m elated that my 2017 Ram came with that center console. I don’t like 6 passenger trucks. However, I loved watching this transformation. You ROCK!

do you mind sharing out much you spent on all of the parts and then about how long it took to swap everything over?

Thank god for a video like this finally for our ram community somebody makes useful videos. Thanks dude 🙏🏻

I wanna see the truck at 7k RPM on the dash lol

So happy someone made this video and talked about all the considerations. I really wanted to do this to my truck and had no idea about all the brackets and panels that’d be smart to get with it

That gas cluster is legit. 😂.

I came here just for this: knew this comment already had to be made and was not disappointed 😂 also lost the DEF gauge

Came across this through the rabbit hole. So glad I did. I have a 2015 RAM that needs these upgrades!

Just stumbled over this video, great job! Love the conversion. Have you ever upgraded to electric pedal controls? I find in this generation of RAMs the factory pedal position is tiring my feet, it feels uncomfotable in my seating position.

Love seeing these videos like you use to do when you started KZread!!!

Definitely surprised a gasser gauge cluster will work with a diesel

I’d love to see someone take one of the up fitter switches and have it change tune levels. 4 little leds to dictate level. Or even split between two of the switches.

Wouldn't be too hard to hack one of the 4 pos knobs into this functionality with an Arduino or something if one was so inclined. Not a bad idea.

This is a great and much needed topic. I'm so glad you videoed it. I'm really considering doing this. My nav and radio typically don't work. Did you install a new head unit with a navigation system in it? Thanks again!!

I completely agree about once you have the steering wheel controls it's nice to always have them in all vehicles haha my 03 was loaded but my 04 was a base model crank windows and etc and I bought a third teuck another 03 and stripped it for all the loaded features and put them in my 04 so both of my trucks have all the features they could possibly come with😂😂❤❤

Cool, I have the same truck but it's an SLT with the luxury package. I have the jump seat but everything else is upgraded. Cool project, maybe some day I'll do that.

Just got a 23 Ram Tradesman. I had to choose between a Ram v6 bighorn with the big screen or a 5.7 Tradesmen with a small screen. I figured upgrading the screen is easier than upgrading the engine lol. Glad I found this video

I picked the 2018 Ram Tradesman v6 quad cab at 60k miles, with the chrome and towing packages, paid $23k. Upgraded from my 2006 F150 XL 4.6L single cab. Paid $5k for it at 3 years old and 42k miles. Both have vinyl floors. This electronics upgrade must cost half what I paid for my new truck, and more than I paid for the whole f150. I've bought the parts I need to put the f150 back to essentially usable.. front suspension components, plugs, coils, injectors, misc other parts. All of $500 for the parts. It should be good for another 100k. I hope the Ram lasts as long and is as repairable... but upgrades are ridiculous.

Super dope 👌 happy for you im currently doing the same to my tradesman 1500. Can't wait to round up all the parts

That looks amazing, so much better, I would love to update my interior on my 2010 Laramie to the 14-18 Laramie interior it looks so much better

I did this a couple times to my rams but I also swapped in the center console shifter which is 👌🏻in my book !

Disconnecting them is always smart. First time I did a tahoe airbag recall I left it connected and bumped the switch on the bag. That was a nice punch in the jaw with a dash board😂

Classic greg a video! I love it! Nice work, very informative!

As someone who has just done all these plus a full black leather Laramie dash pad and heated/cooled seat conversion on my tradesman’s, it’s soo worth it, I’m waiting on my custom shifter so I can finish installing the business console, g56 and manual transfer case with a business console is going to be awesome! Gas gauge cluster is awesome since I don’t want that useless def gauge anymore

How’s the conversion to heated seats?

If you find that gas cluster doesn't work for you, I'll take it off your hands if you need to sell it. I got a 2014 2500 Outdoorsman with a 5.7. I went the 10 inch NavOS radio route which works well too.

Felt straight out of NJ in the driveway video 👍

I have a 2018 Tradesman and would love to do the console but my 4x4 is still the lever in the floor. So that’s out. But about 4 years ago, I did do the 8.5 radio with nav and CarPlay. Also steering radio controls, bed camera with LED lights, Remote start, and auto climate control, just set the temperature,it does the rest. Love the gadgets. Would like to see your instrument panel on and working.

110v. Plug is missing from the Center stack there's a pocket instead of the plug on you bezel. Great vid !

The blacked out quad cab 3rd gen looks super beautiful!! Amazing builds though for all of your rams

You had mentioned in the video the head unit upgrade was a kit you can buy where do you buy it at

well, I'm glad you're being safe can't tell you how many air bags I replaced under the recall that I left it running. And yeah I knew it was wrong but hey I worked at a stealership what you expect from us. Love the video though Im upgrading my truck currently from your new interior to the Longhorn.

have a 18' 2500 Cummins with a 6 speed manual and been wanting to do a center console up upgrade but can't bc the front sticks to far out with the cup holders an will get in the way of shifting in to the lower gears

Quick question when upgrade radio do you need a different module or just plug and play?

So I have a 2010 and want to upgrade to a newer gauge cluster like this. How hard is it to set up?

Could a center console and radio console swap like that be done on a 2008 3500 ram? I've been searching around for a way to upgrade radio and dash, but haven't found anything I like yet.

Where did u get everything to do the swap? Interested in doing the same thing

only issue is your new cluster is from a gas truck. so no DEF gauge. if its deleted cool, if not you will always be guessing if your gonna go to limp mode or top off every 2 fuel ups other than that great stuff.

Love what you have done. I have a 2013 tradesman, Was Wondering on the 4 speed Fan to 7 can you buy without radio ? I have a linkswell t- Style that will work on for 7 speed fan . !

I added push button start with remote start. Looks like you have the factory fog lamps already? I added them to mine. I have the manual transfer case shift and would never go to electric so no center console for me. I did the entertainment center upgrade as well and I'm going to do door panels and leather the seats. The great thing about the tradesman is you get to choose what you want to turn it into.

Were the connectors inside the steering wheel already there for radio switches you added? I changed mine in my Sport 1500 when the weirdly both went bad at exactly the same time but they were already there so it was just pop out the old ones, unplug, plug, and pop the new ones in. Did you have to add or change any cables for the upgraded radio in the back of it?

Great video. Any bolts I need I need buy for the brackets?

I got a 2020 1500 classic where can I source the 8.4 upgrade and that switch panel, but I want to keep the bench seat

Sick! I have a 15 express blacked out and I’m doing a limited Interior on it. Just missing the seats and the leather dash and I’m done .

Great video! wish there was one for the next gen RAMS

My dad has a 4th gen Laramie 2500, I was trying to figure what the lower set of switches was. It’s heating and cooling for seats and steering wheel.

I'm looking at this upgrade as well, do you know does the radio need to come from a diesel truck to work in mine?

Do you have videos for the 2018 Dodge Ram Big Horn 4x4 Radio Upgrade?

Hi, thank you for the information. I got the same cluster, but doesn’t fit on my 2012 ram. Do you know if have any way to adapt it? Thank you.

Sorry if I missed it in the video, about what cost would be looking at for materials and install for this? I'm looking at a 2018 3500 Big Horn and may need your help... I'm in San Clemente

Where did you get the harness and the resistor for the HVAC controls?

I noticed that you installed the gas instrument cluster in your diesel. I was thinking of doing the same since I deleted the truck. Any issues with doing this?

Would that instrument cluster upgrade work for a 2012 Laramie?

Lol I came to get some new upgrades for my truck, but my 2016 already have all these stuff. Nice vid

Where did you get the cables to upgrade to the 8inch screen I have been looking everywhere

Badass, just got 19 classic and looking to yalls channel for upgrades. Keep it up! Subbed 👍

So with the upgraded radio could you just plug the sub in or is that a whole different Amp setup

I like the center console addition, what is the part number you need in order to get that upgrade? I have a 2019 Ram 1500 Classic Crew cab and I want the center console. Thank ou, Joe G.

where can I find those parts?

How much was the upgraded radio unit? I just bought a 2015 6.7 and want to get rid of the smaller screen

where did you order the 8.4 inch kit from? like the harness and the fan speed modules.

I miss my sport edition that came with all this 😢 But so pumped I can still get it back

I have a 2012 ram 2500 with the 6.7 Cummins. I would like to upgrade the cluster like you did. Where can I find a cluster? Also I would like to upgrade the grill as well. Is there a place or website you recommend?

If you have the 6.7 Cummins you should think about the bolt in the grid-heater that could break off and go into the engine (35,000$$) to replace. And for the unfortunate that have the 68RFE transmission you will need a valve body eventually due trans fluid migration. Yes I have both 2013 . I did install the idash super gauge and pedal monster F$&k !!!!! The truck is alive !!!!

@@scottcampbell2585 DO THE GRID HEATER DELETE. I got lucky when mine went and only had to replace a piston, valve and do some head work. While I was there we did the Banks monster ram intake horn, boost tubes, BD header, ARP 625 head studs and I already had the fleece cheetah Vgt drop in turbo. The cool thing about the Monster ram is it has a grid heater delete but you can order it with a plug heater to keep cold weather starting easy. Just remember, your transmission is gonna need a build regardless of what happens. But if that little bolt decides to break, there is no telling what it’s gonna do in the engine, could be an “easy” fix like a piston, or a whole motor replacement. 👍🏼

In my opinion - it's the nicest EVIC of them all. All-in-all... vry nice upgrades for sure. Great video!!

Radio controls on the steering wheel are a good thing as I cannot use the radio dials nor the a/c dials and the power port in the console due to a blown fuse which I have yet to find. Supposedly all the fuses are in the fuse box. I've found that to not be true. For one the fuse for the radio is under the hood but not in the fuse box.
