907Ram's Alaskan Ram
I figured it was time to start a build thread on my truck, as the mods are starting to add up.
To Kick things off I live in Fairbanks Alaska, and I use my truck as a truck for hauling anything I'm willing to hook up to it and I'm not afraid to get her dirty in the mud or while hunting, but I also like to have a good show down at the red light every now and then. In my eyes, its a truck, and there's nothing it cant handle and if she breaks down...well lets put something cool in it to keep that from happening again lol.
My truck it a 2009 Crew Cab 1500 Laramie Sport (at least what the dealer said). I bought her used and bone stock.
I started off with window Tint, went 35% on the front two windows (AK Law), and 20% everywhere else, including eye brow. After that it was exhaust, cut it apart went straight pipe true dual. Was cool for about 2 days. Way to poppy and loud. Switched to Flowmaster 44. much better. Next I put on some TTC-1223 coils to keep it from sagging too much. best upgrade ever.
In AK its dark a lot so I built myself a custom head-ache rack and installed a 52" LED light bar. Works wonders on road trips. I do a lot of hunting and where I go there's no cell service (on the Haul Road, I.E. Dalton HWY), but lots of semi's, so I installed a CB radio to communicate with truckers and road updates. Works pretty good. Installed the 5100's set them at 2.1 and put on some new shoes, 285/65/20 Wrangler MT/R's load range E. Super heavy tire, but haven't gotten stuck yet lol. also installed a trinity T-1000.
Picked up a CAI, and added it. littler better throttle response.
My latest is the new engine. Put in a new Mopar 5.7, this is being done under warranty. Its been 7 weeks since I took my truck to the dealer, and I finally got to hear her run last night. Since the engine was under warrantly, and I have many connections over there, I saw this as an great moment to throw a Cam in it. So I said why not? lol. Added the Comp 270 phaser cam, non-MDS lifters, 6.4 valve springs, phase limiter, AEM wideband O2 sensor, and I am tuning through Josh at High Horse Performance, Awesome to work with by the way. Tuning is still a work in progress, but she runs again. ill update the thread as more tuning is done to it, and more mods.
Ill Post a few pictures up for you all. Thanks for looking
