Hope you son is ok.
My daughter last year ran into the corner of our dining table and required stitches too.
So i feel the pain..

This are certainly some mods

Look at wandell (member here)

He has a 5" RCX lift and fits 37's, so you should be good to go

Sweet truck!! Definitely getting some good ideas for mine. Thanks for all the pics!

I think I'll name her cocaine! As she's white and extremely addictive!

Think I'll try and paint my valved cover to match the intake manifold. Should be a relatively easy and cheap modification.

Looks good bud. Keep it up. The addiction only get worse...wait till you start adding fuel and air!!

Did you notice any gains from the intake horn?

Egt's are considerably lower, which is incredible, and it feels like it picked up torque.

I did the intake horn and grid heater delete at the same time, so I can't be certain which helped what. But to me, the air pathway is smoother, and there's no longer restriction.

Worth it!

AFE claims 40 hp from their intake horn. I'll be keeping the grid heater when I get mine.

Unfortunately I haven't dyno'd this yet, so I can't say whether or not it's better/worse than that.

Get on this....like to see what kind of power your truck is pushing.
Or wait till you add a few more to get more for your $$
LOL

I would love to, and would have had it dyno'd already, but unfortunately the only dyno shop around me closed down about a year ago. I would have to drive 2-3 hours to Memphis to find another shop. I'd like to do it one day, and bring my friend along with his red ram, but probably not for a while.

There isn't even a 1/4 mile track in a 3 hour drive vicinity. Everything is dirt tracks and 1/8 miles. Closes 1/8 mile is over an hour away.

Arkansas... sigh

Great looking truck, even better with all the awesome mods you've done!

 

[Trupiano]

Yay birthday presents!

Thanks, I'm hoping so! I'd like to throw them in now, but it's way to hot outside at the moment. I might try tonight, or just do them tomorrow morning.

It's doesn't take long. The door panels are very easy to remove. Just be careful removing the screws/bolts that hold the speakers in. Very soft steel. Also on the rear pillar cover the clips like to fall inside the door and you can't get them out.
