New guy, new Ram!

[scottyram]

Hey guys, been lurking on here for a few weeks. Recently got back into a truck after a few years playing with a couple different cars. I picked up a sweet 03 Ram Laramie with the 5.7 Hemi, I love it, but going from a small sports car to this big rig, fuel mileage sucks, but we all didn't get a full size truck for the mileage, right?

So far the truck has undergone a few mods:

- 6" Fabtech lift
- 17x9 Moto Metal Mo951 - Gloss Black Machined
- 35x12.50 **** Cepek Radial FC-II
- Dual exit Flowmaster exhaust
- aFe stage 2 intake
- Poweraid throttlebody spacer
- TuXedo Edge Tunneau cover
- AVS In-channel vent visors
- Nerf bars
- Bushwacker fender flares
- HID's for running lights, high beams & fogs

Here are a few pictures, lemme know what you think!











& Vent visors just went on a couple days ago

Thanks for the warm welcome guys!

Small update for this week, my aFe intake finally arrived. I installed it in about 20 minutes before work yesterday. I definitely notice an increase in power and throttle response seems to have improved. Maybe I'm imagining things, but I think my gas mileage is slightly better as well. Here are a couple pictures!

Thanks guys!

Yesterday I took some time and got my plugs and wires changed out, and cleaned out the extremely dirty throttle body.

I have NOOO idea when the last time the plugs were changed, look at these things!!


New plugs and wires in, and ready to rock!


The truck runs remarkably smooth, revs so much quicker, and overall just better than when I got it. Now, lets see how much better my mileage is!

Next up, looking for a programmer, any suggestions?
