Hi Everyone. I am new here and glad to have become a member. I have a 2005 Ram 3500 SLT and live in Lviv Ukraine. Pleased to meet you.

Now as being a new member of course I have questions.

So my first question is has anyone around here updated a 03-05 ram to the 2006 front end?? Although I like the 05 look better, my wife likes the big headlights and I have thought about changing if it is not to difficult. We all probably know that a happy wife lets you spend more on your toys, so if antone can help, it would be much appreciated.

thanks in advance
Lviv

 

Welcome! As far as I know, the front clip has to be replaced, fenders and hood, but i might be wrong. Glad to have you on the Forum!

 

Welcome to the site. I will move this thread to the third generation Ram section,

It can be done, but you need a conversion kit. The kit alone costs a little over $2,000. Not sure if that's shipped and tax.
You need a new grille, fenders, headlights, and bumper top cover. Just takes a little bit of money.

 

thanks guys. sounds like a little more then what I want to get into. Dont have the dollars really for that if it is a couple thousand. It sure gets expensive enough importing fuel and oil filters. My plans for a ram air hood scoop, and some other add ons will probably be it, if I can solve the import problems I ran into today. If not my truck may be on its way back to America for sale.

thanks for the help

grill, bumper,fenders, headlights and headlight harness. got to salvage yard. i read someone that got a whole 06 front clip for 400

 

Now that don't sound to bad. Will have to see what my buddy can find for me in the wrecking yard. Appreciate the help.




wanted to add a picture of my truck, but did not work.

 

You need to upload the image to a hosting site, like Photobucket or Imageshack (both are free) and then copy the direct link into the IMG tags.

 

Move to the USA, problem solved! Welcome to the forum and enjoy your truck.
