DEDICATED TO DODGE RAM 1500-2500 TRUCK OWNERS WITH RUSTED OUT ROCKER PANELS. BOTH 3RD AND 4TH GEN TRUCKS, HEMI, CUMMINS OR V10. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF THESE TRUCKS ARE DAMAGED BY EXCESSIVE RUST IN THE ROCKER PANELS, BED SIDES AND TAILGATE. UNTILL NOW THE ONLY REPAIR OPTION WAS TO COVER UP THE RUST WITH AFTERMARKET PATCH PANELS. WHILE THE REPAIR LOOKS OK THE STRUCTURE IS STILL COMPROMISED AND THE REMAINING RUST WILL RETURN. STUDYING HOW THESE TRUCKS ARE ASSEMBLED I CAME UP WITH A PROCESS TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ROCKER PANEL ASSEMBLY RESTORING STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND A PERMANENT REPAIR.
I WANT TO SHARE THIS PROCESS WITH OTHERS THAT HAVE TRUCKS THAT SEEM HOPELESS. ITS NOT. THIS IS A VIDEO GUIDE TO SHOW WHAT CAN BE DONE BY ONE PERSON IN HIS OWN GARAGE TO RESTORE HIS TRUCK BACK TO BETTER THAN NEW CONDITION. CHRIS Z.

The size of the project grows doubles in size as I decide to replace the passenger side rocker panel as well. During the process I find the passenger side front cab mount is mostly rotted away. Not good news... But not the end of the world. Unlike the rocker panels this cab mount is still available from Chrysler.

DODGE RAM RUSTED ROCKER REPLACEMENT RESTORATION REPAINT CHANNEL TRAILER
Просмотров 175Год назад
Dodge Ram trucks 3rd and 4th gen, Cummins or Hemi or V 10 are awesome. But rust has been a vicious enemy especially in the northern climates. Rockers, bedsides, tailgates even cab mounts. In this video series I will show you how I replaced my entire rocker assemblies with rust free parts from Texas. I did this by myself in my own garage. And I decided to video it to show you how you can do it too.
Probably the cleanest 3rd gen I’ve seen. Glad to see it’s used as a REAL truck and has real tires on it.
Yes it is, thank you kindly
A full cab replacement would have been way more than I could have done by myself.
Outstanding another great job.
Thank you sir.👍
Outstanding Videos myman ,much needed information so many trucks have this issue and need help hard to find shops to do this work anymore.
Thanks. Your right most shops won’t touch this type of work. And if they did the cost would be ridiculous. My goal was to show how these trucks can be saved. I have a lot more coming in the future. 👍
Hell ya just watched the other videos earlier today. Very cool
Thank you 👍
❤ great video!!!
I appreciate that. Thank you 🙏
Source for the cab mount for 3rd gen Ram? (I believe you mentioned someone in CT.)
Any Dodge Chrysler Jeep Dealership
All that precision measuring, breaks out a saws all. My man!
I have an 06 2500 hd and a huge tree fell on the cab. I am in the process of locating a cab for it. Ive been told so many things that im now confused about what the options are like which years and models will swap. Can you tell me?
I have to say I am throughly impressed with your skills and what your able to get done in that garage.
Part # ??
I live in Florida and my 2007 Dodge Ram Megacab Cummins 6.7L rusted out the same way yours did.
Amazing work, I watched every video of the project. I have to ask though, is there a reason you didn’t just do a full cab swap with a rust free Texas cab? I am considering both paths for my RAM. Thanks!
You do very nice work ! I've got a 96 2nd Gen 2500 here that needs rocker, cab mount, and major floor repair done to it. I'm probably not going to do nearly such an elegant job like you did here, as it is mainly a snowplow truck. But it's nice to see someone doing beautiful work to a similar truck. Well done !
Thank you for the kind words. Yes rust eats up snow plow trucks for sure.
After having a moneypit aka ram problems .love my truck but damm Were the engineers sniffing superglue at staff neeting geez . Worst major flaw about this is the window leaks .among other things
Great job Chris!
Hey any way to order those panels for 04 Durango I’m sorry for asking I’m doing similar job on my 04 4.7 which I love the old Betty I would love to do basically same thing you are I’m making my own rockers but those can mounts I think if I can would rather purchase great video man thanks for showing how u did
Where can I get those handles
great job looks awesome!
Great job again Looks great I know the channel seems slow but Keep it up this channel will take off and kill it. IDK how guys I saw start from nothing all slow but kept up the content then their channel all of a sudden took of
Since you work at a Chrysler dealership would you happen to know where I can get a full ground effect body kit including step ups for a 2005 ram 1500 Daytona package?
Love the confidence and the Details the build is looking great
Great looking build thanks for the details this is outstanding and will help the entire Ram community
Your very welcome. Glad to help save these trucks.
Outstanding Man you have put in the work and details You don't know how many guys your helping great work
Great job great detail!
great work thanks for the vid ill be referencing your vids often
Outstanding, Great Job, I am Restoring on 08 Long bed last 3 years. So Far Iven stripped restored and sealed frame inside and out, restored and built front rear axles, upgrade steering, entire suspension, entire brakes system, upgraded Fuel and oil filtration, Fuel lift pump, upgraded Intake , Air , cooling , AC , Trans cooling, engine cooling , Turbo Cooling, much more. Nobody can tell i just dumped 30k+ into her LOL. disheartening after all that work. So the next year or so the doors rockers and bed are shot so this is next. I am in the same exact boat I luv the truck to much for a new one & Ill make this one better that anything I can buy. Keep it up outstanding work
Just adding to it but I started out by replacing the entire front end of my 03’. That has how turned into a full on cab and bed off of frame, engine out rebuild. I love the truck more than anything they could try to sell me new.
I feel your pain. When mine rotted out, I added a set of step bars from a u-haul van and bolted them to my frame.
This friend got a name, number? Haha looking to do my 03 cummins. Same deal, inner outter and middle from fender to cab corner is fubar'd.. this would save HUGE amounts of time. Work smart not hard.
Came out nice
The rocker panel design on the Rams is just atrocious, the engineers that came up with that and left gaping holes in the back side to let salty winter slush water in there should be ashamed LOL
It's the brine they started using to salt the roads.... Milwuakee county started using brine a few years ago and I noticed accelerated rusting and soon as they switched to that stuff. interesting video. I have a 2012 but it's not as bad as that yet...
Aren’t you getting overspray on everything? Asking cause I’m getting ready to tackle my dodge probably next year.
I have a 05' Blazer 4x4 A few rusty pieces on the rear 1/4 bottom (like most GM's) And they used foam as soundproofing..which was the dirt And water cause. Anyways longer story shorter My drivers side cab mount is pushed up I think from a accident before me Always had slop steering And felt off. I looked to order a new one No dice Im down to going to the scrap yard (pick your own) And cutting out one And welding it in Or Having to make a new one Mine is like yours in shape sorta ..Like a size 6 shoe pattern with the heel end towards the center I would have to get a flat plate Then measure the height And cut a strip And bend it in a U shape Then a cap for it And drill a hole And weld in a square nut once centered ...Fun fun ! Hey thanks for the video
I am not familiar with Blazer construction but did you check LMC Truck ? I know they make a lot of reproduction parts.
@@ProjectMonsterRam-ud6is Ya LMC i checked awhile back...They cover the 70's to 96 models which mine is 97 to 05 But hey thanks for the reply !
Doing the same to an 03. Thank you so much for this!
I gotta say you did an amazing job brother 👍 I’ve done full body and paint jobs on many 3rd gen rams and I’ve owned over 20 , they definitely keep going long after the body rots out lol
I appreciate that! Thank you.
Thank you sir. 🙏
Wow this series just popped up out of nowhere! Hey man I just finished all the rocker panel videos and I gotta say you are doing the dodge community a massive favor by sharing all this priceless information out of the kindness of your heart. Im 19 and I have a 2003 dodge 2500 5.9 cummins and its a 6 speed manual I fell in love with the truck but theres always been a little bit of rust showing and I learned how to bondo over it good enough but like you said in part 1 the rust will always come back so im at the point right now where I gotta access the total area that needs to be removed and replaced. Ive been dreading having to purchase all the tools and equipment to do a job I didnt even know where to start at but just today I stumbled across this series and I have to tell you your a great teacher and I am now honestly very confident I could also pull this off. This was the fastest ive ever subscribed to a channel on youtube I appreciate your wisdom and I will be looking foward to any future videos p.s. Your truck looks awesome ive never seen a livery like that on a 3rd gen
Nick, if I was giving out awards for nicest comments. YOU would win. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment. Its much appreciated. Hold to that truck of yours its going to be worth a lot of money.
What would you do with deep to metal scratches ? I have a dodge pick up and I have lots of scratches a few that are deep but mainly just wear and tear. I’m not repainting anything If I’m just fixing and polishing would I do the same 1500grit, 3000 grit, and 8000 following by polishing it?
Where did you get your cab mounts
I work at a CDJR dealership. I had my parts department order it. Thought I mentioned that in the video.
A spot weld cutter works well
Nicely done
Thanks for the visit
Did the jams look the same a week later .. If you don't wait till the clear gasses off before the next coat you will get pock bubbles or fine cracks in the last coat ..
Ive never had that experience happen to me. Been using PPG Deltron 2 stage urethane base coat for decades and their premium 2021 high solid clear. Flash time for both between coats is 5-10 minutes depending on temp. Outstanding for painting in less than great conditions.
Hey you got the $5 bucks you owe me.. Channel is looking great Bro..!
lol. Yeah its in the mail.
This is really cool
Thank you !
Dodge truck and Jeff Joniak calling the Bears game in the background!!! What could be better!!
lol Your right. Good ear.
Love the process time and patience worth it
thank you sir
I am in the middle of this nightmare... respect 🙏
Its really not that bad if you do it like I did. If you need any help or advise just ask.
You’re a talented young man. I have a rusted mega cab from Tampa. 🤯

Nice work….
Thank you sir. Much appreciated.
