Thanks for the comps man! Yeah there is a thread a few pages back on here that have the pictures and step by step installation. You can also find pics of it on the MOTM under general discussion. Or click the picture link on my sig, have some there too.

Bought a replacement front cover from pershing auto on ebay and painted it factory Dodge black to match. Bought the paint from PPG. The chrome grill is a one-piece grill (also from pershing) ALL CHROME...and as far as the bumper guards go...good luck finding one...this set was the only bumper guards I've ever seen for our 2nd gens. Didn't even know they made 'em and I got lucky finding them, I wasn't even looking for these, they just kinda fell into my lap so to speak. I guess they are very rare.....

 

Its not very hard to put the dual e-fans in....I do recommend that you know how to wire the unit up, or get someone who knows how to. Took about 3 hrs to do the install, and pulled the radiator out to mount the fans and make it a lil easier. High-flow cats are great, but IMO you get a nicer quality of sound from removing it completely (Betty sounded like a beast after I gutted mine). Just depends on your emissions requirements though...Mine is considered weight exempt, so I don't do emissions, but urs is 1500 1/2 ton, so you are prob better off with a cat in there. For emissions requirements.

As jasonw stated earlier, you will get a CEL from removing it, but if you have a programmer, you can clear the code in 45 seconds. Or use HammerZ71's technique in the DIY to get around this as well. He shows you step by step (with pics) to essentially fool the computer into thinking the sensor is there. Just as effective.

 

alright awesome! thanks for all the info guys! i appreciate it! and black betty is a sick lookin truck! wish mine looked that good!

 

Yup found the post: https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...t-install.html

Your sweet ride has definitely put me in the mind set to get to work on my truck!! Back when I bought her new I set her up just how I wanted and few added extras but haven't done anything else since. After reading your list of mods, seeing your install and your truck I think its time to get back to playing in the garage... Oh hell this forum going to get me in trouble with the girlfriend. LOL

 

Just takes a little patience. You shoulda seen how ugly she used to be back in '07. But I knew she had potential, so I picked her up one day. Three yrs, and many thousands of dollars later, this is how she turned out. Betty is my dirty little *****, and like to ride her hard. LOL
