Thanks! I think the Max Steel color is going to be more popular once more people get to see it. It looks real sharp in every light!

Yeah I love that color. Nice choice. If I were to choose again It'd be tough to decide between that or the true blue which I love also.

on the move..

Can't believe I didn't see this thread earlier. The truck looks amazing man!! Congrats on finally getting it and thanks for putting up all the pics. It's weird seeing your username with an avatar next to it lol.

True Blue was a close second for sure but since my trade-in and my wife's SUV are both real close to the Max Steel I just went with it lol.

Welcome!

Thanks! I've been a forum member for a while considering how long the darn truck took from order to delivery (ducks out of the way of Chewy chucking something at my head haha), but a truck owner for less than a week and I can't believe I ever drove anything but a Ram!

Thanks Chuck! I know its weird I now feel like anytime I do anything to it including just washing it I need to take and post pics haha.

Truck looks kick ass right off the lot.

Vararam ordered!!! Thank you Jeremiah from Bully's Performance...I can't wait for this to arrive. Obviously pics to follow once I get it!

Awesome man, you're going to absolutely love it. I think the VR is my favorite mod I've done besides my Magnaflow 18". Can't wait to hear how you like it!

I was going to ask you if you've seen discernible difference in MPGs, but you installed yours pretty much right away before even having a basis for comparison, right?

Yesterday I filled up with a little less than a quarter of a tank left, and I calculated 17.7 mpg, which is right around what I was hoping for when I bought the truck. It has actually improved each fill up...my first fillup was 16.7, and I believe this was my 3rd or 4th, so with similar trips I've already gained a little efficiency. What I actually realized is that driving like my grandmother would got me WORSE fuel efficiency than just driving like I normally would. The EVIC actually said 18.7 on that tank, and seems to be exactly 1 mpg high at all times.

If the Vararam pushes me to the 19-20 range, I'll be thrilled!

Good lookin' truck!

As far as fuel mileage my 2013 QC has never even seen 15mpg. I drive 15 miles each way to work with 70% highway... and it won't get above 14.9.

Vararam installed! Thanks Jeremiah from BP for helping me with the purchase, and Andrew as well for responding quickly to my install question. Here's a pic...not great bc it's dark out:



15 mins and I go reconnect the battery and start this puppy up!

Sweet! I don't miss my Lexus at all, and I used to love that car when I got it.

Me either! I love my ram.. love the look of yours

After reading around the forum for opinions on certain Bolt on mods, I have come to the conclusion that I am dying to get a tuner lol. My Hemi life would be complete with a mufflex, 87mm ported TB, and a hemifever tune when available!

Thanks! That first pic I took on the cloudy day at the dealership when I picked her up is my favorite. The paint reflected the dark pavement and cloudy sky and almost looked black.

So, since the local car wash did such a terrible job hand washing the truck for me the other day, I decided it was time for another fukken treatment. Long story short, if you want something done right, in most cases, do it yourself!
