Ron here. I was a Chevy guy since I could drive. Till I bought my current truck. It's an 03 QC Ram, 4x4, Hemi, 545RFE, 3.92 gears, 285 70 17s. I worked at a Chevy dealer as a detail manager when it came in on trade. Interior is pretty damn good, body is good with a small spot of rust on the drv rear wheel well. Ran it pretty much stock for a while. Surprised at how it was tearing up the sand drags at our local spot. Now its got a CAI, Magnaflow exhaust, JET chip, crap I know, TMR delete.
As it was when I bought it:
New wheels:
These things were HEAVY.
As it sits now, 285s, torsion cranked up about 2":
It had the Nav stereo in it and Infinity speakers but the nav unit was a pain to use and I didn't like how quiet it was so I swapped it for the Kenwood. Much better but now have lost both passenger door speakers.
Future plans include 315 70 17s, McNeil racing glass fenders, toying with the idea of a BL. Dual batteries, ported TB, tuner, better speakers ( have a sub box under the rear seat with 2 10" subs but not hooked up yet.)
Overall I am thoroughly impressed with this truck. I havent used it as I would have my older Chevys or my XJ but what I have asked it to do has been surprising. Getting to the point where money is tight and not being able to work on it has me thinking of selling it and going back to a Jeep before I pinstripe it all to hell.
