I was curios of what model transfer I had. The BW 44-44 or 44-45. I was told there was a stamped tag like the gear ratio on the rear end, but I didn't see it on first glance. There are a few labels but maybe I missed something.

If you have 4 auto on the transfer case,you have the 44-44.

So just a random fact I just learned. Trackhawks are ******* FAT! 5363 pound curb weight!
My crew cab truck has a curb weight of 5601.
So my big fat truck is only 238 pounds heavier.
Holy ****.
I thought the Trackhawks were at most 4500-4600 pounds.
I can't wait to find one when my truck is together and hurt some feelings.

That's a light weight Track Hawk at 5363 lbs,my buddies crosses the scales at just under 5600lbs.If that's a listed curb weight,it's generally acknowledged it's light by a couple hundred lbs.it's really obvious in the Challengers,as listed curb weight for an R/T Challenger is close to 300 lbs less then what they cross a scale at.

It boggles my mind, they're not that big! Where are they attaching the lead weights?

That rad looks s'pensive,it's beautiful,but what's it worth,lol.How much differance is there in coolant temp with Sc?
I don't know I haven't even started it yet. I keep ordering more crap. I'm waiting on the Forced Induction Interchiller kit from freaking Australia.

Plus I managed to break my other daily driver so I've been waiting on parts from England for it. Anyway this forced me to have to shuffle some cars around which reminded me of other projects I've been neglecting...Long story short the truck has been kind of put on the back burner.

Too many distractions.

Did you upgrade to the bigger 1.25" cores? That's actually not bad pricewise,it'd be 2 Grand in Canada,but i've paid more for custom rads then that .
Yes I did.

Exhaust done. No sound clips as I'm still working on the fuel system. Then I need to tackle tuning but it's getting there.

Beautiful looking exhaust but have you given any thought to fabbing up some sort of heat shield to install between your tranny pan and the cat.That's alot of heat to have right under your aluminium pan,especially after a couple hard back to back pulls

It's a fake cat. It's a straight tube wrapped in a shell which actually has the side benefit of acting as a heat shield. But I am going to wrap the entire exhaust system with heat shield.

If you look at the rear most mufflers you can see I already started wrapping I just haven't gotten to the rest of the system yet.

6.4 srt swapped
@ScLeCo

Sir what are the reviews on the wizard cooling radiator ? I have a 6.4 challenger swapped 1500 but can’t seem to get the oil temps down.

Your feed back will be greatly appreciated :))

The 6.4's will always run hotter oil temps then a 5.7 will ,due to the piston oil squirters.Dual remote filters should help bring your oil temps down some,along with a 180 thermostat.
