Truck is coming along great for ya man, looks nice and leveled off. Hit a snag on my headers since we didn't have all the parts we needed when we thought we did lol. So I get to wait a little more so I decided I will order some other parts to make me feel better lol. Parts I'm ordering will make mine level too, just in a different direction :smileup:

lol Well my rotors and headers are on delay, they were supposed to be here already but AutoAnything sent me an email saying the 27th for the headers and StopTech said in about 3 more weeks as well. So I broke out the paint and did the heat shield and front emblem. Engine cover is next but I need more paint lol I left the inside of the heat shield black for now, not sure if I really want to paint the inside of that...

Looking good man. I haven't dived into my engine bay just yet because I'm not sure what color scheme I am doing with my truck yet. Was originally going to do a mossy oak theme, but now I have a completely different idea which I think is going to be the one I go for. Keep up the good work and pics :smileup: Oh and how the heck do you paint inside the ram logo without getting the actual ram painted?

The front emblem, the Ram head actually seperates from the shield itself. There's just a couple of tabs that hold it in place, the rear tailgate badge I had to tape the hell out of lol Just be careful when you do it, one of the brackets I had on the heat shield actually scratched it and I had to do an emergency touch up lol

Finally got some stuff in the snail mail and decided that while I waited for Belltech to fix this mishap of not sending the shorter end links like they were supposed to in the kit (which they are sending me for free :smileup
to begin with I'll go install the Catch Can, engine dress up kit, and lower bumper grill
![]()
the catch can and engine kit came from Billet Technology and the bumper grill was a deal off ebay lol Naturally the billet pieces were done up in blue. The Catch Can is Blue with Nickel plated fitting to match the "blue and shiny" thing I have going on with the truck
TaDaaaa!!!

Various shots of the engine pieces including the Coolant badge with the "5.7L" Engraved

Thanks!
Tow hooks, ya sure I took those off lol I actually didn't have the tow hooks with mine just the black plastic filler piece. The grill itself is all one piece billet aluminum and very nice quality, I snagged it off eBay for about $30. It just screws into the filler piece which is where my mind changes from the instructions. If you put it on like it says the grill actually sits recessed back farther against the backing and it doesn't look nearly as good. I used a 1/4" spacer and a longer nut and bolt instead of the supplied screws to make sure it fit securely. I'll take a closer pic and supply you with the nut sizes if you want.

I just recently started smoking in mine but I keep the window down and cigarette out the window and whoever is with me does the same. I don't care if it is 5 degrees out the windows must be down. Has made a lot of people figure out they don't need a cigarette all that bad.. including myself lmao.
