Continued..(stupid phone) totally carried away here, sorry
Anyway, bought my first RAM (first Chrysler anything) in Oct 2015. A somewhat spontaneous decision, absolutely no plan or forethought, took one look underneath and thought 'dam, maybe'.
But then I stepped back to check out her OEM look - ugliest truck I'd ever seen. Chrome everywhere (not classy in anyway, chrome can be but this wasn't), and some puke of a splash graphic all over her. No thank you - not for me.
I did like what I saw once I got past the skin deep part. Fine I'll take it for a drive. And that was that, I knew I could fix the ugly, and then they spoke of a Lifetime Warranty - say whaaa. SOLD!
I fell for this vehicle and over the last two and half years she has saved my tail on so many occasions, (I drive a weekly 200 mi one way commute above 8000 ft in the Rockies of CO/WY, snow, ice, night and WOT) Namasté
MagnaFlow catback and K&N cai are the only 'performance' mods done to date. I ordered ARH long tubes and Y-pipe yesterday. Pedal commander, and T2 will be ordered today w a shout out to JGR or Hemifever for a custom tune.
Soon to follow are the cam, mds delete lifters (hellcat?), headwork (new springs, port, multiangle valve job), 87mm throttle body and higher stall TC. We'll see how she rolls after that, then possibly new bottom end (prep'd for a whipple??). Then the tranny if I still have one.
Couldn't do it without you all being here and sharing.

First two: Ursula when we met. Somebody dressed her like a h**ker and put her on the lot
