What is up everyone!!
I have been looking around for a good forum for RAMs and have liked this one the best out of the rest so I decided to join in! I have been looking over the site at things and figured I would finally post my introduction. My name is Wayde and I traded in my 08 Pontiac G6 GXP for a 07 RAM 1500 Big Horn and I love it!! I was looking for a truck for the longest time looking and test driving several different models like F150, Ranger, Dakota, and of course RAM. The RAMs stood out the most and offered my style and more space as for thats what I really wanted because my car was getting way to small for me as I am 6'3". Plus 4x4 was also a big thing as I am in Ohio and my car sucked horrible in the winter. So I looked at about 6 Rams all 08s besides the one I got and they were also around the 80k miles mark while this one was only at 43k. long process short, This dealer beat the deal made on a 08 with 40k more miles and I ended up with a cleaner better truck. Over the other one I had a deal on it has a tonneau cover, auto start, less miles, one less owner, jump seat, new tires, and was waaaaaay cleaner than the other. Plus the other had a dent and paint chipping on front bumper which they were gonna replace but would not put new tires on which also needed replaced. The one I got needed no work and was one hell of a truck over the other. Plus they matched monthly payment and beat their trade in value for my car. So I am very happy with my purchase!
Now, with my G6 I was apart of a forum to basically get help with problems and to get help with mods and of course to talk to fellow RAM owners. With that said I have some questions about mods, mainly on programmers.
Ive looked through a little bit on here about them but want some direct answers. How much of a MPG gain would I get from a diablosport trinity or a superchips programmer? Performance? Mainly curios about MPG as for when I am not hauling or towing my truck is my DD to work during the week on all highway. Would it be worth buying a programmer for the price of them? I wont be paying full price for the diablospoart as I can get a hold of one for $350 as long as it is not sold.
Also what is the best way to hardwire a radar without having to tear apart too much?
Thanks everyone who welcomes and answers my questions, much appreciated!! See ya around, build thread coming soon.

Great looking truck, as an owner of a 07' I can attest to the fact these are great powerful trucks.
