  • In todays video we will be installing a double din stereo in a 1997 Dodge Ram 1500. We will be using an installation kit from Metra, a $60 eBay touch screen head unit with a backup camera, and installing a Sound Storm 10 inch LowPro amp/sub. If you have any question, feel free to ask in the comment section below!

    I know some people don’t like that body style Ram but it’s one of my favorites. Especially ones that are in good condition like yours.

    Appreciate the contribution on the video. You Have answered many of the questions that I had. Seeing that I have completely replaced my entire dash with a custom built wooden dash that I built for my 98 and installed in 2007. My install will be a bit different.
    Thanks again for all the points on the install.

    I appreciate that you linked the radio installation kit. I had a very nice radio gifted to me that I wanted to use but had no way of fitting it in my truck. Thanks

    That actually looks pretty factory! I’m installing an Eonon E39 unit in my 97 Ram Laramie, there was some surgery. But I had to install a replacement dash sub core and new dash panel, but the cutting of dash the bezel is about the same

      Got my 96 5.2 sport magnum about 2-3 years ago, I'm third owner, and it kinda seemed like the perfect fit, seeing as the numerology was it had as many miles as the year I was born 92k just broke 136 recently... But uhh the main reason for the reply is I had ordered everything on your list, but the radio didn't come with the back plug in not the adapter but the part that plugs the adapter into the radio

    I have a 99 Dodge Ram when you were cutting your dash I thought ohno but the end result looks good, did you also change out the speakers? My truck came with Infinity radio cd cassette.

    You didn’t have to cut a hole in your floor board just run it out your fire wall and down the frame to the back..if you need more wire Walmart sells aux cords you can use..I’d never cut a hole in the body

    Are those steps factory? and why did my tool box sit higher then my truck bed rails? But yours sits below yours. I had to remove it to add my tonneau cover.

  • @Justin28082
    @Justin28082 Před rokem +1

    I guess no one has had issues with the dash busting up because that support was removed? The top of my dash is all new, but
    I was just noticing that the support that gets cutout looks pretty important. :-|

    Do your steering wheel buttons work on the new radio? Did you have to do any extra wiring for it? You didn’t show the wiring for the radio

  • @wheelchairshooter3910

    Do you have a wiring diagram for this radio the colors of the wires aren't matching up

    Have you had people get ahold of you about the stereo you pulled out of the truck...i asked because there's a guy on CZcams that has tried 3 different times to get a am fm CD player cassette tape player stereo but with a aux in installed in the front of the face of the stereo but he kept having issues with them,i think it's a mid 80's dodge truck i think his name is Jason anyway if you want to sell it you might consider getting ahold of him...

      @RealSteelFabrications  Před 2 lety

      If I remember right, purple. There should be a wire diagram if you search it up

    • @RealSteelFabrications
      @RealSteelFabrications  Před 2 lety

      As long as you have the same dash, I do not remember if they changed in 1998 or 1999.

    @AlexB-cn2lo Před 9 měsíci

    This wouldn't work on a 12 valve cummins, reusing the existing screw holes, cutting an already 25+ yr old lower dash, no reinforcement, no way that dash is going to support it for much longer, just my 2 cents

    I paid as much as you did for your head unit for my backup camera and the fucker won’t work…
    Neither will my music…
    I can listen to my radio through the speakers.. but I can’t link up Bluetooth and my apple car play won’t fuckin work either….
    I’m pissed… and idk what to do… I bought this gorgeous truck and tore it apart and can’t put it back together….

  • @garyjohnson801
    @garyjohnson801 Před 2 lety

    Sorry but you and alot of other people are wrong. That is a 3rd generation a 1st Gen is from 1974 to 1980 and 2nd Gen is from 1981 to 1993 in the USA and 1995 in Canada and so that puts your truck a 3rd Gen. And I know this because I have worked on them since they were new all generation up until this last one because it came out after I retired. So stop listening to what others are calling them
