Hello all! Was just shopping around for a nice forum to join and well this was my choice. Nice place you got here, really like the layout! This is my 3rd Ram, Had a 2002 for a while, then a trusty 94 and now currently my 2006. Always been a Mopar guy, it's in my blood with my Great Grandmother, Grandfather and great uncle all having retired from Chrysler I have been around a lot of them.

I like my muscle cars, but also like being practical. I need a truck and an economical car so having a third vehicle never seemed justifiable to me. Almost bought an SRT-10 but in the end saved a lot of cash and I am more then pleased with my Procharged Hemi!

I don't like any of the red, stripes or loom under the hood. Just looks tacky to me. But has a lot of potential.

Thanks everyone!

Nice! Welcome aboard. I bet that baby runs like a scalded dog.
Yeah, it's nice to know if I step on it, it goes!

Now we just need a dyno chart
Have never had it on a dyno, but if I had to guess 450 wrhp

never ran it, thinking about it.

The vinyl is coming off, it is starting to crack. Not sure if I should replace it or go with a different color. Was kind of thinking Mopar Blue. The loom never bothered me, red is hot black is not.

To each their own. I'm a big fan of "less is more" and I don't like the use of colors to get attention. I think it would look a lot better with no stripes and the chrome turned to black.

Yeah, I agree on the stripes. I think they are coming off and staying off. As for the chrome, I like it and it is staying. For me it adds that classic muscle to it.

Not everyone wants to black their trucks out, its overplayed.

I'll be the first to say that I hate the blacked out look with a passion. But black bumpers and grill, acquire a nice set of polished or silver wheels to match the headlights and colors under the hood. That would look good.

Nice truck, how are you getting the transmission to hold up to that supercharger?

Thank you!
Overdrive off if planning to use boost. Open rear with traction bars, 12" wide street tires and I never run street slicks or wrinkle slicks. So far so good! Hooks up decent.
