Hello fellow members.

My name is James, I'm from Gilroy California. Just bought a 2013 Ram 1500 2 wheel drive with a 5.7 and the 8 Speed Auto. Should be here friday, It was difficult to find trucks with the hemi and 8 speed, but the dealer found one 600 miles away in Arizona. I will get pics up soon. Glad to be here and am willing to learn!

I've never bought a brand new vehicle before...I hope I made a good decision...lol

Welcome. :wave:
Just don't leave the windows down unless you want it to smell like garlic :jester:. Just kidding, I used to live in Los Banos and will never forget that Gilroy garlic smell.
Enjoy the new truck.

Welcome to RF and Ram. I'm sure you'll love your new truck. Don't forget to post some pics when you get it!

Welcome here. I have just over 3000 miles on the Hemi 8 speed so far, and what a great combo. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the welcome everyone!

This is my truck at the dealer, photo taken by them, as I don't have the truck in person yet! I'm getting ansty, dealership says another 4 or 5 days until it's delivered! It is a white quad cab, with the 6.4" bed.

I was really interested in buying a set of ARH long tube headers, only to be discouraged that they are not CA emissions legal, not available with a CARB sticker. Guess I'm stuck with the stock manifolds.

I want a full exhaust, cold air intake, ported throttle body, and a chip/custom tune.
