    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    Just got back from the weekend down in Tennessee. I entered the test and tune Friday night to see if I could get dialed in to the tree and launch my Ram with a decent reaction time. I made 9 passes, and couldn't get the reaction time down at all. I attempted to deep stage. I attempted to leave...

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    I can't afford heads up racing... it's either bracket or index racing for me. No slamming on the brakes for me. I will hold a couple of numbers once in awhile just to make the race look different to my opponent. You have to keep them thinking. Never say never. lol Although I've never locked...

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    Everything I've ever raced preferred the cool air. I'm going down to Tennessee... that's where the race is. We get crazy humidity up here. I switched my race truck over to alcohol... really helps with dialing it in no matter the weather. Jeff

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    If it hates the heat the same every pass... I'm okay with that. They have a test and tune night on the Friday. I'm planning on doing test hits to see what works. The race itself is Saturday afternoon into evening. Jeff

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    Thanks again guys. Sounds like I'll just put it in 4wd, hit the tow/haul mode and go. Then figure out what my reaction times will be, and change my leave to hopefully not lose before the race really gets going. I run a transbrake and leave on the button with my race truck. Going to take some...

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    Thanks for the information guys. I've drag raced for decades, so I understand how to do the basics... I've just never driven a street car/truck. My race truck is a tube chassis S-10 that runs very low 9's in the quarter and 5.70's in the 1/8 mile. Actually, right now it can't do anything with...

    Going to the race track... suggestions?

    Hey guys. The engine in my race truck blew up last time at the track. I've been planning on hauling it down to Tennessee for a race/meet with some friends. I'm still going to go down and was thinking about racing with my Ram as they have a street class at the track. I wanted to ask anyone that...

    question on boring out a 5.9

    Yes, if you bore an engine you have to buy pistons for the new bore diameter. By the way... you can't bore a 360 out enough to get to a 408. You also have to buy a "stroker" crankshaft to get the needed cubic inch. Jeff

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I went to the race track... didn't race the Ram, but it pulled my race truck to the track. Jeff

    Hello from Minnesota.

    Welcome to the forum from another Minnesotan. Jeff

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Picked my truck up today. I now have ice cold AC! The tech showed me the suction line and the condenser. He showed me the areas that had what looked like corrosion or something, one little area on each part. He said that's where it was slightly leaking freon from. He said to be glad it was...

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    I dropped my truck off at a local dealership to have them look at why my AC system wasn't cooling properly. You could get cold air once in awhile, but other times it was only about 70°. I was worried as it was hit or miss if it worked or not. So I explained in great detail everything. Seems to...

    Managing bed cargo

    I cut a chunk of 2x8 to run across the back area of my bed. I have three 5 gallon race jugs of alcohol, a 2000 watt generator and a block of wood for under my trailer jack foot that fits across the back perfect. I have a spare trailer tire/wheel, a plastic tote for hand tools, a large 4 way lug...

    What is your tire pressure BF Goodrich all terrain ko2

    Yep... I was just wanting to make sure we were all on the same page. Jeff

    What did you do with your 4th Gen this week?

    Tonight after work I finally threw in the pair of Kicker KSC 3.5" dash speakers based on members recommendations. I love the new sound! They are definitely worth the $40.00 for the pair shipped. Actually, I would have paid twice that for the difference they made to my factory 6 speaker...

    What is your tire pressure BF Goodrich all terrain ko2

    When you guys are talking about your tire pressures... are you talking cold, or after running them down the interstate at about 70 mph for 30 minutes? Mine start at 42 or 43 cold depending on how cold the morning is. Once up to temp they run in the 45 - 47 psi range depending on outside temps...

    Pedal Commander and cruise control question...

    I tried City +3 on the way to work... better than stock, but still spun the tires on the freeway entrance ramp. lol I turned it down to City 0 on the way home... felt like the factory should have put it for anyone to be able to drive and feel the power the Hemi makes. I'm going to keep playing...

    Anyone running rough country 3" lift with stock 20's?

    I bought my truck and it came with the Rough Country 3" level/lift kit... at least that's what they call it. The rear wheel-well is 1/4" higher than the front. I can't speak to the pro's/con's of it compared to other methods cause this is the only non stock newer Ram I've ever driven. I love...

    Towing Novice Needs Help and Advice

    You're probably going to end up needing about an 8" drop. The back of your truck will probably drop about 1" or so with the loaded trailer on it... if not a little more. Years ago I rented a u-haul car trailer a couple of times to haul my race truck 900+ miles each way. I always picked out the...

    Pedal Commander and cruise control question...

    Only drove 12 miles today... to and from work. I initially set it at Sport +2 and drove to work. The throttle response was unreal. I set it at Sport 0 and drove home. Throttle response was still really nice, but slightly less than the +2 setting. I'm going to keep playing with different...

    Pedal Commander and cruise control question...

    I'm going to give them a few days to see what I think. I'll update here my impressions. Jeff
