First, I would like to say this site has been awesome to follow as I just joined after watching this site for months for mod ideas, maintenance and other ideas for my first Ram truck. I was a Ford man through and through before this truck but now I wouldn't own anything else! I haved owned my truck now a year and the mod bug won't stop biting me. I listed my current mods in my sig but any ideas for future mods is appreciated. It's not my daily driver but it's hard not to drive on impulse. Sorry this was long winded, thanks for reading.

Looks great! Welcome to the Ramily man. A lot of us are converts from other car brands. I absolutely love my Ram. No going back now!

Very good ideas for small mods. I might do the cabin filter this week. I plan on running a 3" PA body lift and upgrading my tires to 35in trail grapplers or cooper sst's. Also plan on getting an 87mm throttle body in the near future as well. So many options out there it makes it hard to decide what mods to do first lol.

If you do the cabin filter, get the more expensive reusable one. It allows better airflow. The airflow with the disposable filter felt kinda weak when I did mine, but it was still adequate. After I changed over to the reusable, it perked right back up and the A/C was closer to its previous "freeze your nuts solid in 5 seconds" status.

Thanks for that heads up lol, I'm leaving for Vegas tomorrow so I'll get that done when I come back. Might be all the money I have left for mods is the filter lol.

Another mod you may be interested in is the oil filter relocation kit , not for me but it's not a bad idea , there's also a draincock and tube kit for engine oil pan ,
