- Fixing a giant crack in my dodge ram 1500 showing how to do a frame repair at home. We used some beefy 1/4 thick 2x2 tubing to fix the frame this truck.

Thanks guys for watching! Also don’t forget we’re giving away a set of $600 digital gauges you can check that out here for all the info to enter czcams.com/video/Q5cqa0QQiQk/video.html
Awesome work. Most people would either scrap the truck or worse, kept driving it unsafely down our highways. I used to run into lots of deathtraps here in Michigan. 9 times out of 10 the customers already new half of their car was rotted away underneath and didnt care.
Very true! And thank you
Love the dimes. Take some pride in those, I've seen mechanics who can't even chicken scratch. Truck is stronger then it has ever been that's for sure
Thanks man! And time will def tell since I overload this truck all the time and plow with it! Also my plow is way to big for this little half ton lol 😂
@RacingRamFam haha my 1/2 ton get regularly loaded to 12,000 lbs all the time... my bags are very helpful!
@@Dimination36 yes that’s what I need as well!
@RacingRamFam get the airlift ones! Amazingly easy to install and fairly priced if you're ok without the onboard air feature
That’s a good looking fix! Nice job! Betzy been needing that for a bit.
Yes she did lol
Love this repair!❤
Great fix and great video!
Thank you!
Ole girl seen some better days, awesome its still kicking though!
Very true! She’s 23 years old lol
Oooo you getting her all dolled up!
All safe and what not
Awesome content!!!
Thank you!
I'm curious to see how you fixed the last part of your video. I have the problem on a plow truck ..
Send me the video if you made one ....thank . Very neat job.
Thanks again
Hey there, thanks for posting this. There is a Ram for sale down here in Florida that I'm looking at possibly purchasing, that has extensive rust in the frame, with cracking similar to yours. From the Carfax report, it's spent most of its life since 2013 in Canada. I'm curious, what would be like a ballpark figure cost-wise for the repair you did in this video? Thanks!!
Would a repair like this be suitable for it to pass state inspection?
How did you fix the last part!? I got rust on both sides in the same area
Has the repairs held up over time
Yes plowed with it all last winter and driven it every single day this year
No self etching primer lol nice
I have the same truck mine is rusted out we’re the sway bar bolts up what gauge sheet metal should I use I have a Lincoln electric 140hd welding with gasless wire
I used 10gauge
Any after thoughts that you think would've been a better option than the 2x2 1/4. Or how to go about the gap you bridged to make it all seem flush?
Gap? I used big c clamps to hold it all together
Did the 2×2 fit snug or was there space around it
@@scottierominger1141 pretty snug had about a 1/8 gap that I squeezed the frame with a c clamp to get rid of
I got a question bout doing some frame moddin can you put in a channel in the frame for an exhaust pip to pass through
Yes but I would weld a tube in place on the frame
@@RacingRamFam that's what I figured just wanted to make sure m thanks
Have you seen cracked frame at steering box and if so how do you address it
Yes I fixed it
Question ❓ where is Fluffy. I know I've been gone off CZcams to make my money for now, but I still get the time to watch the videos but haven't seen your buddy. Everything good 👍👍.
He fell off the planet got a girlfriend and she sucked him up into her space cruiser. Lol I doubt he will be back
@@RacingRamFam oh well guess it's for the best.
I was always told frames are not allowed to be welded
Why? That’s how there made is welded together
nobody makes a premade repair patch for these year rams?? mine is rotted in the exact same spot...
2010 same

this would not have happened if the truck had received a rustproof treatment
Minnesota salt is very nasty on vehicles
@@RacingRamFam you don't see Québec (Canada) salt ,i have a 300 c 2006 and i give rustproof treatment each year and it always like new
@@jeanhuard9525 fluid film?
I live in north Québec, any car that got decent millages (200 000+) can't survive from that salt
Wear gloves dude
Just tryin to get this pasty skin a tan lol
@@RacingRamFam hahaha👍
