[AWE Daniel]

How much youmgot to spend

 

[ramthis9501]

Well, I got $250 so far but i'm gonna try to save that for gas lol but I'm getting some more tomorrow so I'll let you know!

 

[Trupiano]

X2 thanks trup! And we wanna see pictures of anything your trucks got for Christmas!

Lol, nah no mods for christmas. My upcoming mod list is a lil above christmas present prices. But I'll keep you all in the loop!

Can anyone give me some ideas on what mods I should get for my truck?

Depends on a couple things:
1. How long do you plan to keep your truck?
2. What do you want out of your truck? Off road, street, track, fast, Motor-X(that's be pretty cool huh)
3. What's your price range?
4. What do you already have done to it?


Lemme know and I'll try to give you some idea's/opinions/options!

 

[ramthis9501]

1) Plan on keeping it for awhile I hope lol
2) I want a not super fast but street truck
3) Not sure on price range because I don't got all my money yet
4) Perfomance: CAI, and that's it
Interior: JVC Head unit with Infinity sub, steering wheel cover, LED over the cup holder.
Exterior: Xenon headlights, lights behind grille, billet grille, wheels and tires, tinted windows and that's it

Sweet!

Does it have a mechanical or electric fan? And any exhaust work?, Your sig says dual exhaust and glass packs.

 

[ramthis9501]

Mechanical fan, and there is some exhaust work so nothing needs done there

 

[Trupiano]

Cool, well since your you have the basic, CAI and exhaust, and your saving for gas money. I'd say a first mod would be an electric fan (3.8L ford taurus fan) and a fan controller.

Fan will cost you about $15-25 bucks from a pic-and-pull. They're super easy to remove, and a fan controller will run you anywhere from $30-75 bucks. Save you some gas, and free up a couple ponies!

Would that be better then getting one off ebay or something?

programmer? I think superchips really wakes up the 318s, something like 20hp and 30 ftlbs

Dang! That sounds good to lol how much do those usually run? And could I get one used?

No, if you can find one on ebay go for it. It'll be cleaner, and prolly newer!

Programmer, that's a great idea too!

 

[ramthis9501]

Ok sounds good!

Look for a used one. I just checked and yours uses the same programmers as the 4.7 and hemi. So look for a used SC 3815 or 3865. You should be able to find the 3815 for a decent price (<$200) since most people don't want it as much as the 3865 because of the advanced trans tuning with the 3865 for '04+ rams.

2 12" 12 VOLT ELECTRIC SLIM/PULL RADIATOR FAN+MOUNTING - eBay (item 180604716184 end time Dec-31-10 15:38:24 PST)

What about this one?

[Trupiano]

I don't know about those two... not sure how good they would cool. And Im not a fan of that ziptie crap to secure it to the radiator.
