First of all, I've never owned a Ram OR a new vehicle before. As of this past Monday, I am the proud owner of a brand new black 2012 Lone Star 4x2. Love at first sight, I have got to tell you. Of course, I'm comparing it to my old ride, a 69 Ford F250, so to be honest anything with A/C and a working radio would be impressive. They handed me the keys with 3 miles on her, and I've been driving around grinning like an idiot all week.
So, I've been looking into upgrades and whatnot, and I can't seem to find any performance chips for the 2012 models. Help? What are the basic bolt ons?
Also, does anyone know of any awesome truck shops in Austin?
Equally awesome, after my fiancée saw it, she decided she needed a new ride as well, so tomorrow we are signing the paperwork on a gunmetal 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Of course I'll be look to mod that as well, so any advice would be awesome.

no tuners yet for the 11's and 12's. I know I'm waiting patiently for them to crack the encryption. Welcome to site!

Very nice! As of now there are no tuners for the 2011 2012 trucks. For bolts ons, what exactly are you looking to do? Got any pictures of the truck? We love pictures here!

And as far as bolt ons, I want to get an intake and full exhaust, maybe a bigger throttle body as well. Question: will headers void my warrantee?

Ah, Harker Heights...you guys have some truly horrifying strip clubs. I mean, just, awful.

Ft. Hood was fun though.
