I know you probably haven't had the 3.92s on for too long but how are you liking them so far? Sometime down the road I'm wanting to upgrade from the 3.55s and I'm thinking 4.10s with the 4-spd would match well for highway driving and hauling decent loads

By "decent" I mean a small trailer, the largest load it would ever have is our boat

Like Demon said I am running on 35s. My motor itself is still stock I have a few thing a done bolt on wise but nothing crazy.
I am staying with the 3.7l however I will be doing a rather involved build when I get the chance to put the motor where I wanna be. It will never match a hemi with the same put in it.
I like doing things the hard way and doing something different which is why I’m sticking to it. The amount of time I’ve been on 35s is longer than that of stock so I couldn’t even remember what they felt like.
Eventually I would like to move into a more powerful set up though.

Did a grille upgrade, black headlights, and black aluminum locking fuel door to compliment my blacked out wheels, tails, fender flares, running boards, and front bumper. I like black on white lol. Front and rear move bumpers are going on in a few weeks when I get the time to build them.
Also, had to keep the ram emblem up front, transferred it from my old grille lol
All that's left is a headache rack, raptor lining, 4 inch lift with 35s, 392 stroker with built 46re with manual valve body, and some lights. Expensive but I can't wait!

I've as actually tried getting them off, and all of the welded bolt heads broke free so I've got to find the time for a cut-off wheel. And I agree, the black on the bottom would look pretty dang good. All a matter of time, money, and ambition I'm afraid lol

I've always been interested in the v6 builds. When you get into it you should make a thread with your progress because I'm sure there's a few people out there, myself included lol that would like to see a bit more power pushed out of these little motors

the thing about the 3.7 is its flawed from the start, just like the 4.7 its not a strong motor, the 4.7 can be upgraded with various bolt-ons to make it better, but the 3.7 has no real love, pretty much anything for those is a one off design...

id love to figure out a turbo setup for my little 3.7, i keep eyeing the full kits on ebay and thinking about seeing what i can fab up for fun

I’ve seen one guy do it nothing else was done said he was running 7lbs of boost. However that’s all he could do without anything else done.
I’m gonna get with comp cams eventually for a custom grind cam.
I do know that Ryan at Flyin Ryan Performance still does tunes for the 3.7 and airram supports it quite a bit.

Flying ryan has good feedback here locally, he is literally on the other side of town, after dealing with Air-Ram in the past, his products wont ever touch my truck nor will he get my business

I know Ryan was his partner at some point. But I know airram sells heads made by another company.

I would suggest new rails and paint the two tone black or bed armor to go with everything else I love long beds especially leveled or lifted
