    Any CARB approved Superchargers for the '19 RAM 5.7 (non-eTorque Hemi) yet?

    Are there any supercharger setups out for the '19 RAM that have a California Air Research Board (CARB) Executive Order number (EO#) yet? I'd like to do a Whipple on the truck, but I'm not sure if their '13-18 kit will be a direct fit for the '19, and I don't think the CARB EO# will apply on a...

    Laramie has “gold” trim?

    Ours is the same, sort of gold: We're not a huge fan of it either. I did a lot of wrapping and customization in my '11 D'max, so we might try something on this as well. With my D'max my goal was to make it very subtle, so that most folks would think it was just a very nice stock...

    Our new '19 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 "Build"

    Got the exhaust done. Normally a simple cat-back I'd just do myself, but it looked like it'd be a bit tough to get the exhaust out with the truck on the ground and the jackstands I had wouldn't really get a truck up very high in the air (they're relatively short, from working on the Z06, my...

    Our new '19 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 "Build"

    So, what's the plan, and why not get the air suspension? On these 2019 RAMs (and I think some of the '18 and earlier) they are full coil-spring front and rear, a-arm front and multi-link back, no leaf springs. That's what allows for the air suspension of course. I really liked the air setup on...

    Our new '19 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 "Build"

    Okay, "build" is an over-statement, it's just getting subtle, tasteful mods. We'll consider superchargers once the kits have been out a while and tested. Our new game-plan calls for Melissa to tow a box trailer, so her Jeep Grand Cherokee wasn't going to cut it. Granted, the JGC towed our 20'...

    MINOR Lift for 5500 4x4 Chassis Cab (RV application)

    I'm getting close to ordering an Isata 5 30FW RV built on the RAM 5500 4x4 Chassis Cab. Here is the RV for reference: http://www.dynamaxcorp.com/product-details.aspx?LineID=329 To be clear, I don't intend any 'extreme' off-roading in the thing, I know it's not a rock crawler. ;) However, I'm...

    Best tuner for '06 QC 4x4 Ram 5.7 Hemi

    So far so good, the performance and trans response are a LOT better. However, on the 87 perf tune mileage seems abysmal. It's at least as bad, if not a little worse than before. Pure freeway trips at ~70 MPH yields about 14 MPG. Average tanks are around 11 now. -TJ

    Best tuner for '06 QC 4x4 Ram 5.7 Hemi

    I'm really happy with the Cortex. The process was straight forward and relatively quick. We put the 87 tune in it for now since it had a nearly full tank of 87 and WOW, what a difference. Power certainly seems better and it seems to have woken up the "lazy" issue we were having with the...

    Best towing air bags for a 2006 4x4?

    I ordered the Firestone Ride-Rite kit FWIW, I'll report back how fit and function is. -TJ

    The GF's truck needs shocks (2006 Hemi 4x4, leveled)...

    It'll be hard for me to give a fair comparison of the spacers w/ stock shocks vs. no spacers and 5100s since the current shocks are totally shot. The truck needs an alignment and fresh tires too (which it'll get as soon as the shocks are on) and I'll be checking to see if it needs any front end...

    I ordered the Cortex, great price on Amazon. I'll report back how it does. -TJ

    Best tuner for '06 QC 4x4 Ram 5.7 Hemi

    Do you happen to know what advantages the 3950 has over the other SC models? SC's site isn't actually very good about that sort of comparison. -TJ

    The GF's truck needs shocks (2006 Hemi 4x4, leveled)...

    Thanks, I'll try to see what her kit is. To my eye the truck actually sits a little higher in the front right now, but I need to measure it. -TJ

    Thanks for the help! Just to confirm, that front shock will allow me to keep the truck leveled while eliminating the coil-spring spacers? -TJ

    Best tuner for '06 QC 4x4 Ram 5.7 Hemi

    Thanks for the input so far. So nobody is running the 3842 yet? I guess I should have quantified quickly when I said I'd like to change tunes. I don't mean the flip of a switch or anything. But say we plan a long road-trip and want to cut fuel costs a bit, I don't mind taking 10-20 minutes...

    Best tuner for '06 QC 4x4 Ram 5.7 Hemi

    I'm new to the Hemi world, I'm used to LS and Duramax stuff. It seems like hand-held tuners are more popular in the Mopar world and I don't know of any local tuners that are doing Dodge stuff (whereas I know of several LS and D'max tuners). Also, it'd be nice to quickly change between 87 and...

    Best towing air bags for a 2006 4x4?

    We do some towing with the GF's 2006 1500 QC 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi. We've probably taken it right to it's rated limit, and it squats out big time. I'd like to add helper-bags and thought I'd see if there is a preferred kit that fits/works best. I'm fine with simple schrader valves not...

    The GF's truck needs shocks (2006 Hemi 4x4, leveled)...

    Hey all, I'm new to the forum and Rams in general. I have a D'max but try not to hold that against me. My GF has a '06 Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the 5.7 Hemi that is already leveled with spacers (I didn't see any obvious markings for a brand). It needs shocks really, REALLY bad and was thinking...
