Pics of the truck

[MysteryMachine]

Last weekend I went to Valley Forge for a Ram meet. Only 3 other guys showed up and one of them was the guy that set it up lol. I washed, clay bar'd, and waxed it before going so I was getting pics one way or another. After we decided it was a bust I set out to view the sights and take some pics.

Here's the newest pics of the Beast

I'm in the process of working on this project. They are Recon Big Rig Ice led bars. They work as running, hazard, turn signals, and light up clear when you open your door. I need to wire up the clear part yet. The rear led bar is a Plasmaglow Fire & Ice bar

Here's a couple engine pics since the rebuild. I don't remember if I've posted them, I probably have somewhere

For those of you that don't know the details on the truck

2001 Dodge Ram 2500
360 bored .030 over
Comp 264-HR12 Cam
Comp double roller timing chain
Hughes Air Gap Intake
Fastman 52mm TB
SCT tuned
PATC Viper Spec 2300 torque converter
E-fans
Summit multi spark box
Harland Sharp 1.6 rr's
180 t-stat
Pacesetter shorty headers
Magnaflow high flow cat
Flowmaster 40
Eaton Posi rear
MSD SF wires
Autometer wideband and trans temp gauges
Few other minor things but that's the major stuff

Figured beings I've been mentioning it so much I'd post pics and info about it. Don't want some of you thinking I got a stock truck and talking out my ass lol

I paid it off last week so I got a few ideas running through my head for it. maybe some rhino liner. I'd love a 5" lift. I've also always wanted a brush guard. Gotta pick up a new cb ant probably going with a Wilson 5000 mag mount on the roof. I had a K30 that got broke going to Florida. It was a 35" whip I think. The wilson has a 62" lol. The K30 did great I'm looking forward to see if I can get out any further.

Good looking truck Jinx. I hadnt seen the engine pics, looks like you cleaned it up good while you were in there. I bet she sounds nice with that exhaust.

 

[MysteryMachine]

Yes it sounds very nice. There's times I let it run to jump out and I'll walk behind it and just stand there and drool over the sound LOL

YouTube - Ram Exhaust 4/30/10

Videos don't really do it justice.

Nice truck, that video would have been better if it included some guy walking off with your camera when you pulled out of the parking lot.

 

[MysteryMachine]

Dead end road that has woods all around it. They basically would have had to walk past me

 

[95BlueStallion]

It does sound good man, Im sure even better in person.

 

[MysteryMachine]

Much better in person

Nice truck, I have a 2000 ram 1500 quad cab 4x4 with a 360. I have been thinking about doing some long tubes, CAI, electric fan, and a sct tune on it to get some better gas mileage. The 9-10 I get now keeps it at home most of the time.

Yeah mpg's are horrible on these things. Not sure what I'm getting now after the rebuild. Are you on dodgeforum.com or dodgetalk.com? dodgeforum has some pretty cool guys most are pretty helpful. If your not a member you should join. I'm pretty easy to spot on there cause I have my truck as my sig pic but I'm BlueBeast2 if you join.

Are you planing on getting the SCT local at a dyno or buying one and having mail order tunes? If you decide to get one and go the mail order deal I'll hook you up with the guy I got mine from. He's from NC lowest price on the SCT you'll find probably. Last I seen he was selling the tuner and can tune for $275 (i think) or the tuner and unlimited tunes for $375. Honestly it's worth the extra money for the unlimited tunes. As you know having a stang to get the best out of every mod you basically should tune for it. Mail order might not be the "BEST" way to tune your vehicle but beats the price of a dyno sct tune. The company that has teh dyno at Carlisle does SCT and I think they charge like $80 an hour. I need to get my truck on a dyno at some point though to I can get it tweeked just right and know what I'm making after all the money I spent

I would love to have a tweecer type setup for the truck but Dodge PCM's are picky.

Truck looks and sounds good. My dad just bought a new Ram, 09-10 can't remember which. He gets 17-18mpg with the 5.7L Hemi, but he drives it pretty much all highway.

 

[MysteryMachine]

yeah I hear the 5.7's get pretty good mpg
