So what are your plans for it? What gears did you get?

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 10:57 AM
True Matt, we'll see about hooking you up with my oem headlights.

Shit Morgan I have no idea gearing.. ill take a look and let you know I do know it has the limited slip.

Plans are bigger tires, tint, sound....... Shit I don't know what else to do its got everything else.

You have your VIN number handy? Google it and you should see a link to the Dodge website with a PDF of your window sticker...

It won't be up for long, once a truck sells they remove it. I would do this soon and save the PDF for future use...

If that doesn't work, paste you VIN after = and try that...

02-02-2012, 01:23 PM
I tried looking.. maybe you all could find it.. The Ram site says invalid info..

myoung84
02-02-2012, 01:33 PM
Hmm, they must have already killed it. You can also email them and they will send you a build sheet...

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 01:49 PM
alright... I'll try and email Ram and see if I can get it.

BMRbrnSNRbrd
02-02-2012, 02:46 PM
That's exactly why I want them Kyle.

ramthis9501
02-02-2012, 02:56 PM
Just call the dealership and give them the VIN and they will look it up for you right there over the phone. I did that with mine one time.

02-02-2012, 04:56 PM
Your MPG's should be much better than mine with the 3.73s. How are you liking the new 6 speed? I was shocked the first time I drove mine, the RPMs didn't drop near as low as I was expecting on the 1st to 2nd shift. The gear spacing is much better.

DoubleTakeDodge
02-02-2012, 05:33 PM
That truck is sick man. Love it

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 06:16 PM
Dude the new tranny is amazing... yeah that was one of the first things i noticed was the rpm range thru 1-2nd

It's so smooth dude.. What's the gearing on yours again?

myoung84
02-02-2012, 06:32 PM
4.56s! RPMs aren't too high though, I sit right at 2k rpm at 70 mph. The new lower 6th gear makes it a little better.

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 06:50 PM
Damn! Your like a light year ahead of me lol.

myoung84
02-02-2012, 06:55 PM
Lol. I think your first mod needs to be ripping out that poor excuse for a sub and dropping some good shit in there!

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 07:51 PM
yeah.. I was actually surprised I thought it would sound a lot worse but it sounded half way ok..

But that type R will pound nice in there

(S.M.R) 101
02-02-2012, 09:52 PM
How do you guys load images on your HU's? Just use the usb port in the glove box with a memory stick?

02-03-2012, 12:27 AM
i plugged my android phone into the dash and could open files and download. but my iphone wont do it

(S.M.R) 101

Yeah I figured it out. Thanks!

(S.M.R) 101
02-03-2012, 09:14 PM
This truck is a beast dudes! I can't believe the difference between my 08' and this one.. It's just an all around amazing truck

That is so bad ass Kyle. It is a great feeling when you get a new ride

myoung84
02-03-2012, 11:08 PM
That is so bad ass Kyle. It is a great feeling when you get a new ride

And then you have to buy your tag...

(S.M.R) 101
02-03-2012, 11:28 PM
I already got tags... So the story is that I usually Get an in transit tag to Oklahoma and after they got the payment from the bank for the new truck they send me a check to cover the price of the tags (because they include the price of the tags in loan) Well this time New York state would not let the dealer charge Oklahoma state tax and told me that if I wanted tags I would have to change my insurance to NY state insurance.. So I had to switch everything over to NY to be able to get the truck..

However since they charged me for the OK state tax on the tags I will be getting a check from the dealer for $1,616.90 I also had them take off the chrome step rails and they are going to give me $557 for taking them off. and the difference of the sales tax was like $390 so I will also get that back as well..

So here in about a week i'll be getting a check for just over $2500 bucks!! Oh hell yes haha

new truck and a check? Shit, thats an AWESOME combination right there. :rockit:

(S.M.R) 101
02-04-2012, 12:15 AM
yeah.. it just sucks we lost our loop hole for them to be able to sell the truck to me by charging me Oklahoma sales tax.. Which is another reason why I stick with this dealership because they always hook me up as much as they can.

we were able to sneak it throught for a few years but NY state finally realized the loop hole and put a stop to that shit lol..

(S.M.R) 101
02-04-2012, 12:25 AM
and I have some awesome plans that will be coming up with the truck......

Stay tuned :D

Cany wait to see the progress!

myoung84
02-04-2012, 10:01 AM
Not a bad deal at all! I scratched a $1479 check a couple weeks ago for my tag.

Looking forward to seeing what you have planned!

(S.M.R) 101
02-04-2012, 10:05 AM
Wonder why my tags would have been more than yours..... Humm

myoung84
02-04-2012, 11:04 AM
Strange. They figured mine with the price of the truck minus factory rebates and my measly $1000 down. It came out to about $41k I believe.

(S.M.R) 101
02-04-2012, 12:04 PM
Yeah they gave me $18,500 for my truck on trade which got the new one down to like 26k and I put 10k down. So I financed for like 18k after all the taxes and shit.

BMRbrnSNRbrd
02-04-2012, 01:05 PM
I think I know one thing you have planned...anything else?

nightmatt

Morgan what psi are you running in your tires?

myoung84
02-05-2012, 02:02 PM
55 front, 50 rear.

(S.M.R) 101
02-11-2012, 02:22 AM
So found something weird with the headlights tonight..... I know you guys know about this but I (in past trucks) just pulled back the high beams to keep the fogs on as well....... So tonight I tried it with my truck and after about 30-40 seconds it knocks them back down to low beams and will not come back on if you try to do it again... Thus making you flip them forward to turn the high beams on... Morgan have you tried this? or anyone else with a 4th gen?

That's pretty fucking lame......

OklaHemi
02-11-2012, 07:59 AM
That is lame.... Time for mor lights :fuckyea:

myoung84
02-11-2012, 10:37 AM
I have not tried this. With my projectors I don't really need the fogs for extra light and only use them in fog and crappy weather. 3000k HIDs are awesome in the fog btw... I will give it a shot though and see what happens...

(S.M.R) 101
02-11-2012, 10:45 AM
Yeah its weird dudes.... Time for some of them LED ligh bars that are rediculously priced :D

myoung84
02-11-2012, 11:12 AM
I really want a Randy Ellis light bar with 4 big lights...

BMRbrnSNRbrd
02-11-2012, 11:51 AM
Don't even joke Morgan...that would be insane.

myoung84
02-11-2012, 11:55 AM
Stay tuned! I ordered the switch panel that goes on the lower dash that has 4 aux buttons. 2 of these will be used for lights and a 3rd for a locker bypass. I think I might have sold my bed cover which could fund a big portion of this...

myoung84
02-11-2012, 11:55 AM
I'm thinking 2 Hella 500 fogs and 2 Hella 500 driving lights...

(S.M.R) 101
02-11-2012, 12:10 PM
Yeah.. this is what I'm thinking about

http://www.rigidindustries.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=ESeries20

I'd install it in the lower bumper area.. Right around where your Winch cable is Morgan.

myoung84
02-11-2012, 12:15 PM
I like those, but think the light bar looks more offroady... Those are crazy bright though!

BMRbrnSNRbrd
02-11-2012, 12:25 PM
How much was that switch panel Morgan?

(S.M.R) 101
02-11-2012, 12:52 PM
Yeah I think im going to go with that light bar just put it in between the tow hooks on the front..

myoung84
02-11-2012, 01:08 PM
Switch panel and harness was $107 shipped. Don't you have heated seats? Won't work if you have existing buttons down there.

BMRbrnSNRbrd
02-11-2012, 02:14 PM
Nope, no heated seats...just a piece of plastic there now.

It will require a little wiring and a relay per button. I should have mine next week and will post more detailed info and pics.

Damn it Morgan stop thread jacking with your bad ass truck.... Your making me jealous dude..

Haha :D

0212353
02-11-2012, 05:22 PM
gotcha. that was the one I was thinking of.

If I ever get anything spiffy to hook up to switches.......I may do that! LOL

For now though, I just have one in the inner part of the console.

That looks awesome! Both truck and light bar!

02-11-2012, 07:49 PM
I think the light bar would look better behind the bumper rather than mounted in front of it...added protection also.

override that shit. who needs that shitty stock lighting output anyway? :fuckyea:

myoung84
02-13-2012, 12:34 PM
I have thought about abandoning my high beams when I crack my lights open again for painting and putting strobes in there... My projector highs are more than enough. Plus, I will eventually have 4 big lights on front of the grille...

that was a throwback to one of the mods on DT - he used to joke about it, then he actually took pics of himself waiting at the mailbox on a milk crate. Crazy bastard. LOL
