New member and thinking of buying Ram 1500 R/T

Whats the difference in the 392's and the other gear set?

I have the 3.21's and it's a bit sluggish off the line. 50% of the issue is most likely the computer and the Eco mode that the government likes to see but I am really kicking myself for not getting the 3.92's at time of order as it was only $50 more. They have 3.55's on some trims which I think would be perfect but not available on most Hemi trims. If you drive a lot of highway the 3.21's may be better but if not and tow definitely get the 3.92's. Look for trucks with the anti-spin differential as well. It can all be added/fixed later but will cost near $1k. Most people with 4WD add larger tires and a lift, they really recommend the 3.92's.

My truck will mostly be a garage queen, if im lucky I may put 4-5k miles a year on it and thats on the high side...lol I like lower gears for better acceleration.

Will the 4 door Rams fit into a regular size 2 car garage? I dont have to worry about width because I wont have anything in there but the truck but the length of the garage is right at 20ft.

You mean higher gears for acceleration?

I get gear sets all mixed up....What I like is better acceleration with a lower top end speed if that makes sense.

Yea, so a higher ratio. As in you would rather have 3.92s instead of 3.21s.

The higher number gives you a lower gear ratio.

Short gears means higher ratio. Tall gears means lower ratio. Short for towing and acceleration, tall for smooth take off and lower rpm on highway for better mileage. The 3.92's only get 1mpg less on the highway really if that, so it was stupid of me not to get them. No, I don't see a 4 door Ram fitting in a 2 car garage, even if detached. My RC Dakota barely fits in mine. It would need to be very deep to fit the 4 door.

I don't see of getting paying for the R/T. The only thing worth it is the forged 22s but can find the non forged replicas now cheap.

I would get a sport 2dr since it seems it won't fit in your garage and spend the extra money on mods.

Mine does fit in my two car garage. My garage does seem a lot bigger than a lot other houses in my neighborhood but it does fit. I could see it fitting in the smaller garages in neighborhood but wouldn't be able to fit another car. Main reason why I bought it.

Though the other houses garages

I was looking at the plans on my house and the print is so small but I think it says the garage is 19 feet 7 inches deep, is that deep enough to fit the CC or QC?

Must be a big ass garage! I really wanted a 3 car detached but the price on the houses was out of our budget and hard to find. Mine is probably only 20' and there is a 3' ledge included in that that limits front in parking. I need a shop not a garage, lol.

Actually its just a standard 2 car garage

Mines about 25' deep and little over 20' feet wide. Although with my shelves, work bench, tool box air compressor etc it's kinda tight. But it fits. Along with my GTP on the other side. lol

It was a huge selling point for this house.

Although not I want a small work shop with a lift, but don't we all..lol

Well looks like I will be buying a regular cab 1500 or regular cab 1500 R/T. I started looking at crew cabs for the $299 a month deal but they are 220 inches in length, thats almost 20ft and that wont fit into my garage and I cannot see myself leaving my truck outside...

 

[bryan28]

I believe the quad cab with 6'4" bed and crew cab with 5'7" bed are both 229 inches in length. They will fit in your 19'7" garage with about 6" to spare. My quad cab fits in my standard size 2 car garage.

 

[HammerHead]

Not sure about the 8speeds but the 6speed RT's had 410 gears and higher stall.

 

[Jmhm17]

The R/T's I believe come with a more aggressively tuned 8HP70 and standard 3.92's and LSD. where as the Sport comes with 3.21's standard, and no LSD. The 4.10's stopped with the 6speed R/T's.

They havent finished building my house yet and Im going up there in 2 weeks and Im gonna measure the length of the garage so hopefully a quad cab will fit!...

Dont forget abought hight!
