Well, my "little ram" as i call it, is getting what i think will be the best mod possible for the lil v6 truck with its 33" tires and 20" wheels.
Today i just bought an entire rear axle assembly that was fully rebuilt with 4.56 gears in it. gear set has less than 2000 miles on it due to the doner truck having a fire. (never touched the rear axle)
So i've got the 12 hole injectors, my 10" android radio. I love the truck but it just cannot hold overdrive at 65 mph or above if there is any hill or head wind. This will cure that issue. Not building a race truck or trying to make it special. i just want a comfortable daily that is cheap to maintain. Im installing it in the morning and will report back my feelings on the swap from a 3.55 to a 4.56 with a mostly stock set up.
next major mod will be modding a 4th gen rear bumper and dual exhaust. (keeping it quiet) just for looks.
by the way i got the entire rear axle for only $200 and can do the work myself. so add the cost of fresh gear lube, and that is a damn cheap gear swap. Oh and it's got new rotors, calipers, and pads.
