For this

Nice buy!

Wrong Transmission though - only kidding! I love my 07, and my dad's 2010 is identical to yours.

Will51 · Dec 1, 2012

Thanks!

I like the extra torque the automatic comes with, and of course the wife can't drive a standard. Well, she can, but it's not pretty.

I've always owned stick shifts, I went for the auto in the last truck I had and like not having to manually shift so I stuck with it.

Anyone could drive a manual diesels, nothing like a gas job

Really nice truck either way!

Congrats Will. Time to start looking for some used delete parts and a tuner. Now your HP goal we talked about is going to be alot easier.

Will51 · Dec 1, 2012

Yeah, I am looking at the AFE intake, MKM customs EGR delete kit and trying to decide if I should do the AFE DPF delete pipe or the whole 4" turbo back exhaust. Then searching which tuner would be best for the combo.

Hemi450hp · Dec 1, 2012

The problem you are going to find is that the govt cracked down on the diesel performance companies a few weeks ago. You can no longer buy a tuner for the 6.7's, and my diesel supplier has stopped selling any and all emissions delete parts until further notice. Yo might find someone that has the parts laying around, but these all sold very fast once everyone found out about the big changes. That is why I was saying you might have to start looking for a used setup.

Will51 · Dec 1, 2012

Hmmm, The only issue would be a tuner. The DPF pipe is something I could fab. The benefit of being the Service Manager of a school bus fleet with 20 new 2013 Thomas C2's is parts.

We have replaced a few EGR cooler's already and the old ones have no core, so I can just take a failed one home. I could use that as a template for a delete kit if it comes down to it. But that still leaves the issue of a tuner.

I wonder if there are any tuners that are compatible with compliant emissions equipment and therefore are still legal? Better than nothing I guess.

Nice! congrats

Finally some more pics! Can't wait to see the build progress Will!

Here is what I'm thinking:

Tough Country front and rear bumpers, this is the only rear bumper on the market that allows the use of the reverse sensors that I can find

Your ingenuity couldn't rig up something to use the park sensors? ;-)

WhiteRam · Dec 2, 2012

Nice trade and welcome to the Cummins crew!

quietpeen · Dec 2, 2012

Sweet

Will51 · Dec 22, 2012

So, I found a site that supposedly still has a few mini tax tuners available for the 2012 Rams. Hopefully I got my order in, in time.

Will51 · Jan 13, 2013

I got my H&S Mini Maxx, Diamond Eye 5" turbo back exhaust, S&B intake and Glacier Diesel Performance EGR delete kit installed Saturday. This thing sounds like a tank idling in my driveway, when I turn the exhaust brake on it sounds like a jet taking off on high idle.

Pics and vids coming soon.

Very nice

With the Wife's Hemi Durango with a Magnaflow catback for comparison.
