New to me Ram owner, not new to mopar
Hey guys and gals, doing some preliminary research on some trucks. I know the forums are the best sites for info. Looks like a pretty active forum, which I like. Anyways, looking for a 09+ ram crew cab. Don't plan on doing much to it as its gonna be my daily driver. But maybe a little lift kit, and some new meats. Gonna take the next few days browsing some threads and admiring some of these kick ass trucks you guys have built.
My last two mopars were suppose to stay stock to but one things leads to another and forums and my wallet are always at a constant power struggle. First my 05 magnum RT I bought new in 05. Made it about 30,000 km before I started some go fast mods. Typical stuff first, intakes, exhaust, diablo programmer. Than heads and cam from frank racing back in there hay day. Once it could get up and go, I did some a SRT fascia swap and a few other supporting mods. (awhhhh shoot, no pics on my iPad. I'll them from my laptop later on)
Sold the magnum, which I loved in 2010 and bought a slightly used 07 jeep srt8. I probably went a little more extreme on this one than I care to admit but it was fun. Completely blacked out first, than tore into engine with cam only swap. That last a few months, than cam and heads from PWR. Well wasn't totally satisfied with power levels, so I did another cam swap from a cam from franks racing. Well, saw no noticeable difference in that so saved up some money and did a full on 420 c.i stroker from PWR. That gave me what I was after. It turned the jeep from a mundane ill grocery getter into an absolute animal off the line. 0-60 mph in 2.9 seconds and was consistently running 11.6's in the 1/4 mile in full street trim. It was damn near a perfect build. Almost stock like driveability to the point, the wife to this day doesn't know what I did to it. It was awesome. But got tired of it and wanted something with that could tow the sleds and more passenger room.
That's it in a nutshell, so.... Looking for must have mods, tips tricks etc. lemme know what you recommend and what's worked out the best as far as lifts, tire wheels combos etc.
I'll get those pics uploaded ASAP.
Thanks
Fred
