My v10 Build

1998 Dodge Ram 2500 v10 4x4 w/ Plow

The truck was originally going to be a 7" lift with 38s but decided thats a little much and have gone with 35s and a 3." I plan on restoring it to rust free then building up the motor. Already have a crower cam for it and the crank redone.

In process of building a spare v10 will post it's build later. Been focusing on the truck more.

5.13s to only run 35s? With that torquey engine? Nahhhh 4.56 would be more than plenty

As the post said, it was originally for 38s. Yes I do have my torque available at lower rpms! Not the horses though.


Still reasonable power band.

Well its been 7 months....whats up with that V10???

Hello....??

I've been very busy but Got all new brake lines on it and removed ABS box and put proportion valve for rear brakes. The speedo problem ended up being a bad wire that was discovered doing brake lines. Got a mirror for passenger side and got a new fender too for passenger. In search of driver fender currently and need to drill some bolts out that broke off taking sway bar off

I see your signature has been updated, not sure when ya did that but looks like a great list so far. Hows that exhaust sound?

Sounds great but I need to remove the air pump that was originally for the cat.. lol. Nothing like pumping fresh air into exhaust for emissions.. anyway it whines and sounds awful seen some write ups on guttint it but truck sounds like a viper. I love it. Pushing 3k rpm around 70 with stock tires.
