My 04 Ram 1500 Mod thread

[HeavyD]

We do have snow & ice here & my truck doesn't care since the Powertrax No-slip is in.
It is awesome!!!! I know I don't have to worry about either anymore.
& take off from a stop the rear end feels way tight - in a good way, before it would go but felt like a delay.

Awesomeness!!!

Installed the Airaid intake tube & Air filter - the throttle body spacer will have to wait, but will help the intake tube & filter fit better!!!!!!.

Also the alt stud where the power cable goes helps hold the air filter & tube up where it needs to be.

Also washed it today.

Test fitting -

 

[HeavyD]

Drilled a hole for the AIT.

& then installed

Photobucket back up so pics of Throttle spacer install, Done earlier today.

Ordered 16 Sealed Power Hydraulic Lifters HT-2271
from Summit, I received my $50 Summit bucks in the mail & with shipping & everything they are $120 cad (approx.)

 

[HeavyD]

Added valve cover gaskets to the order.

& I have another Summit $20 with an order of $100 or more - not sure if transferable, but if someone wants the cert # to use message me.
Expire date is 07/02/16 & don't message me to use in a few months, message me a few days or so before.

So after driving the truck after the through the hood air filter & throttle body spacer, Im not sure which is working better.

I can really feel the extra power going up hills & highway.

Just around town on near flat roads, cannot feel any difference.

& it only whistles when going up a hill or hard acceleration.

Considering going to Calgary to do a dyno test.

What is the red box in the front of your truck behind the bumper? I looked through your thread trying to find an explanation on it but couldn't find anything. Lol

 

[HeavyD]

Its a MSI ignition box, I traded a few old books for it & decided to screw with people & put it there. LOL

Its not hooked up.

Paint Pen, needs more work, but a good start.

Good work with the ram head

 

[HeavyD]

I added to my Summit order.
& some items say they don't fit my truck, but on the manufactures website & others they say they fit.

The price does not show my $50 off either.

& yes these parts are still way cheaper than buying here, even with exchange.

 

[HeavyD]

Ok I emailed summit & asked
?- Are Summit Bucks transferable?
Can I give the Summit Bucks to someone else?

answer = I apologize but summit bucks are not transferable they have to be used by the account they were issued under.

 

[HeavyD]

My order got shipped, so ill have everything in the same box.

& we have so much snow this year & expect sooo much, they are street sweeping today. & it was 16*C today. It looks like Spring arrived.

 

[EWC88]

Damn look at you go!

 

[HeavyD]

Got my rivet nuts in the mail today & they are harder to install that said, but I got 2 in for today.

 

[HeavyD]

More paint

 

[HeavyD]

Superchips painted again & back together.
