Hi all!! I'm not new to dodge nor to forums. I have owned 8 daytona's, and still have my 92 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T that has 87K miles on the body but has a another motor in it. In 2009 I was a mod, then made my way to super mod and eventually made admin for another Dodge website. Did it for a total of 3 years and about a month ago decided to step down due to drama. I just brought my new toy home last night. She's a 2002 Dodge Ram quad cab with 156K miles. Ive been reading through threads for a couple weeks and decided to join. I will continue to read but I'm sure ill have questions as this is my first V8. I'm not really a "mechanic" but i do know my way around the 2.2 8V's and 16V's. First mod i want to do is a CAI. She already has a dual exhaust but one of the tips came off. ill post up some pics of my R/T and my new truck. Thanks for havin me :party36:

Thanks for the welcome!! I love the truck, but I wish i could have gotten a black one. I love black. My R/T is black on black. Maybe one day, when I have the room ill get another Ram :)


Only thing is gas mileage LOL I get about 22 city when im not boosting it. The nav in the truck said 12.X? average. Def. not used to that!

im selling my black ram;) just saying
LOL this one tapped me out, and I have no room. I have 2 cars, wife has 2 cars. Were only allowed 2 per house (HOA)
lol, yea its hard to swallow at first
very!! Thats why i have my 4 banger, gotta love 22 MPG. Whats funny is my R/T is 224HP, ram is 235. I thought id have more HP than that! I would have went with the 5.7/9, but this one gets the best mileage and gas isnt cheap like it used to be

Thanks for the welcome!

Thanks for the welcome!!!


Im obsessed with daytona's, ive owned 8. Ive always wanted a Ram since the late 90's. Didnt like the way the newer Rams looked but that changed quickly and i had to have one. Im partial to the 02-05's. Since Im a turbo guy, I definitely see a Cummings in my future :)


My on buddy has a 93 Daytona that is over 500 HP. He runs a holset on it. I have plans to do the same to mine. I almost sold it to get the truck, but I just couldnt part with it
