Just got a Ram. What mods to do?

[novelmike]

What kind of money are you trying to throw at it?..
Paid around 400-500 for my exhaust (mbrp catback purchase and install price)
3xx for my k&n 63 series cold air intake..
480 for my lighting (vip motor from ebay)
140 for my grille.
75 for 2.5" hell bent steel leveling kit.
30ish for my led interior and license plate lights..
50 plasti-dip and various spray paints and primers.
5 bucks I made a center console holster from foam cushion, 800 maybe... bought some general grabber at2's Cheap and reliable all terrain tire in my opinion.

Look into the what the guys are up to on the "what did you do with your 4th gen" thread. You'll see a lot of different styles and tastes there. You'll definitely see yourself mixing up other ideas and making it your own

I'd be very uncomfortable sitting in your passenger seat.

Stubby antenna and floor mats, that's how I started. Now I'm hooked and can't seem to stop... it's like the mob, once you're in, you're in for life.

Here's my list:

-RBH head unit (old school now)
-Kicker speakers (x6) plus sub
-OEM backup camera
-Line-X spray in bed liner
-Bed Rug liner
-Bakflip VP Tonneau cover
-S&B CAI
-Billet catch can
-Diablo i2
-Hemifever custom tunes
-Mufflex DOD24M muffler
-Moes 5 inch tips
-Mag-hytec rear diff cover
-EBC sport rotors/Greenstuff pads
-Bilstein shocks
-Hellwig front and rear sway bars
-Mevotech end links

I'm sure I'm forgetting something, but also reminds me to update my signature[emoji15]

Good luck brother!!

I never keep it chambered for that reason

If you don't have a spray in bed liner and plan to use the truck for anything besides groceries, get Line X. All weather floor mats are a good option too. I'm running Husky XACT Contour and they're great. Not sure what lug nuts you've got but if they're the crappy aluminum capped ones, swap them out for some good solid steel ones before they become too deformed to get off the truck.

What are my best options for headlight upgrades for my projectors? I am looking at the Morimoto 2stroke LED and their HID kits. I am leaning towards the LED but I don't know if I want to be able to hear the fan.

A catback is almost useless without headers....A cai is one of those products that have shown 0 to little increase...I would not even consider a k&n,worst of them all..
Lots here to read on led vs hid
As for decideing on mods,tell us what you goal is..Are you just rotten rich with cash to burn or do you want performance or looks..

If your rich just do everything..
A lil extra performance...headers,catback,cai(thats a bit of a gamble)tuner with a custom tune maybe a throttle body,gear change,coil packs,tq converter,catch can(a MUST),under drive pully...

Looks well that all your call..

Is a CAI really worthless? I thought they helped a little bit?

If you're otherwise stock, save your money. In reality, the OEM intake is a better CAI than most aftermarket intakes and provides PLENTY of air.

Change your exhaust, add headers, new intake, tune? Now you will stay to see some advantage to more airflow.

Just got my first Ram. 2013 Sport 5.7.

What mods should I do first?

I am planning on adding remote start with the DBALL kit from ebay.

What other tips and tricks do you have?

Oil Catch can is always my first mod for a Hemi.

 

[Ray2004]

Here's a video on YouTube that shows several mods and what they cost.

Oddest thing..I have 50K miles and my vent tube is clean as a whistle.

In my turbo charged VW, I had to drain the intercooler every few months. Totally could have used a catch can.

I have new catch can waiting for the day I need to use it on my Hemi

Same here. I don't feel they are necessary in a factory or bolt on modified 5.7.

Do the 3.6 L engines need the catch can?

Take a look at the catch can dump thread. I added a cc as soon as I got my truck. I have been pleasantly surprised at the oil in it each time I dump mine. IMO this is a very worthwhile mod if you plan on keeping your truck long term.

I'm pretty sure that it's just a Hemi thing.
