Hello all! Well finally getting the truck I've always wanted! Picking up a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 quad cab on Monday! It's dark grey in color with a 5.7 liter engine! 28000 miles on the odometer!

I am a avid autocross driver and I tow my car to all events now I will get it there better with my Ram! I am calling the Ram Zeus! I was a Honda certified tech for over 12 years and I never worked on Mopars but willing to learn and do everything it will ever need on my own!

Anyone have any advice on this vehicle?

Thanks

Edwin aka Dina

Welcome.

Which gears it have? If you are going to be towing alot you might seriously want to invest in 3.92s for it. Stock are 3.55 and they suck ass big time. (unless you have 20" wheels then stock is 3.92)

It will make all the difference in the long and short run.

I'd verify the gears you have and maybe consider adding some load leveling bags on the back depending on how much tongue weight you are dealing with.

Congrats on the truck and there's not much you really need to do.

A bit more power and torque can be had with a good cold air intake and freer flowing exhaust. And, consider a tuner to take full advantage of that additional air.

But, I digress...no need to spread the mod sickness to someone who just signed up here...

Welcome to the Forum!
It has 17 inch factory wheels and what I am towing is a Brimar Ch18-7 trailer with a 93 Civic Coupe weighing in at about 2300 lbs. It will be towed only like 2 times a month to Hartford CT or Thompson CT
