I recently put some fender flares on the back, and lowered the rear tire pressure so I can drive it while I wait for the body.

Current rig, 2004 E-350 extended cargo, selling to my father-in-law after the F-450 is in service.

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?


i got this truck 1 and 1/2 years ago. I got it brand new for $11k. It was the last day of november and the dealership had to get rid of it. It's a 2008 Ram 1500, 3.7L engine, V6. It is a stock model, ie cd player but no power windows. It is a 8' bed which is good though.

stock is 215 hp and 440 torque or close to these specs i believe
so yours has over double these numbers? that must be pretty crazy to drive. how did you make it have these impressive numbers? I once had a 351 winsor that had 350 hp and 425 lbs torque. thing was crazy. only got 6 miles to the gallon, but sure was a cool truck.

It dynos 411 hp 995 tq at the rear wheels. And yeah, stock it was 215/440 at the flywheel.

It's got injectors and pump tuning (mechanical fuel injection!) Plus the usual intake/exhaust and a new clutch. The stocker didn't last. It drives really nice, tows well, way more fun to drive than it was stock. Still get 15ish on an average tank towing my tool trailer. Actually a very mild truck compared to some guys I know.

Re: What Kind Of Truck Do You Drive?


No pic's available yet, but i'm running 04 Ram 2500, with superchip and pulling 14' tandem axle atlas trailer both are black. I'll get some pics up, and to the man who found a ram 2500/megacab at a mom&pops sideroad dealership. That is quite the ride my friend, I'm looking for the same thing right now.
