Around these parts that equates to 21 mpg. I think that's pretty good for the hemi.

YUP, hand calculated came out to almost 22 MPG... That was flat, rolling and Green Mountains, Black, Smokies and Blue Ridge Also. Overall. 192 gallons

Thuren tuned Kings all around would be my most expensive part followed up by the wheels and tires.

American Racing Headers! Inch and 7/8 longtubes. Love the sound but I think the neighbors hate it. The Jay Green tune, you just can't beat it!

My AMP folding side steps cost more than my wheels, tires, and fiber max tonneau

New to truck ownership in general, but my most expensive was a Access LiteRider tonneau cover. Price wise it's on the cheap side at $300, but it locks and I absolutely love it.

I've also put in a magnaflow muffler and a cold air intake.

I laugh at the posts about gas being the most expensive upgrade since I've been driving commuter cars in the 30+ mpg range for the past 20 years. Big change to get my 16mpg around town truck. I did get around 23mpg this summer on a 4 hour round trip ride though. :)

Added a WeatherTech tonneau and Cooper All Weather tires (since I live in Canada) … but, the most interesting thing I added was a FUMOTO oil pan drain plug … I change my own oil, and this is a cleaner way to change it … works great !!

Wow I can't believe so many people have done all these mods to their 5th gens so far!

I'm with the first post. I installed a Mopar 2" front/rear Bilstein lift this past weekend.

Next - 34" tires

Over the past couple of years:
- Replaced all 6 speakers with Infinity/JL/Kicker
- Upgraded factory radio with a DVD/touch screen model
- Tinted front windows
- Tonneau Cover
- Replaced interior lights with LEDs

Got jacked up on the second post. Wish the mods would enforce it a little better.
what are we supposed to do? The thread is in the correct section. We are not going to create new threads every time a 4th gen owner comments in a 5th gen thread.

In my case it would have to be my Mopar 2” lift. Just curious as to how we are spending our lunch money ha ha ha.
Mine would be the wheels and tires. $2500
Followed by the RA3 to 8.4 upgrade and 4sp fan to 7sp. $1500

Morimoto LED headlights ? You’ve peaked my interest as to who is selling these and what are the advantages please ?

I bought mine here

Just delete the posts and remind the users to be aware of the section they are in. I wouldn't expect it for everytime, but threads where it gets to be heavily 4th gen, like this one.

I would have to say the stereo system in my 2005 quad cab 4x4. I downsized the competition system to something a lot less expensive.

Pioneer Avic-7100NEX Double Din
JL Audio TwK 88 Processor
Mosconi AS-200.4 (x2) amps
Thiel CS2.2 8" Midbass in doors
Focal Utopia 6" Midrange in the kicks
Morel MT250 Tweeters in the kicks
JL Audio console Stealthbox w/13w7 Subwoofer
JL Audio & Audioquest RCA cables
JL Audio 12g speaker wire
JL Audio 2/0 Main Power & Ground wire
JL Audio 4g Amp Distribution Power & ground wire
Stinger Power & ground distribution

Can you guess who used to sponsor me in car audio comps?

I can do that but since the 5th gen is new and everybody is used to most new threads being about 4th gens maybe thread titles for 5th gens should include 5th gen in the title
