Good lookin truck!!

 

Welcome to here. Not a bad lookin ride man. I'm currently doing a R/T Clone right now from my 97 CC 2wd sport. it's a 5.2 5sp so it's already fun to drive I've added some R/T wheels and am looking for the flares. haven't droped it yet and I'm still not real sure what I wana do about the engine yet.

 

i bet!!! gotta love 5spd. you have a big advantage vs R/T's with your 5speed manual. 46RE has issues shifting under load, without a chip and bigger rear end. keep up moding and keep the 5.2 in your dack there aint much performance difference between R/T and sport. Dont get me wrong If the person owning R/T knows what to do R/Ts have alot of potentials, however 5.2 5speed will keep up with stock r/t all day long.

i have a SC R/T and its my daily driver lets put it this way i get anywhere from 4-8 miles to a gallon babying it. If i decide to play my highest is around 1.5mpg -----
you can find flates on www.dakotart.com or go on ebay those are your too best bets. Or check out your junk yards, i have found alot of dacks that people just didnt want to deal with. im sure you remember cash for clunkers guess where those cars go if they worth anything? junkyard!.

good luck and keep in touch id like to run with you one day

 

hey thanks alot! when i got it, it was mess the rear bumper still fed up from when my father in law lost traction and nailed a pole haha. i will put up some better picture of R/T ones i have a photoshoot its coming up next month.

 

nice truck, i love the color!

 

ill post some pictures for you guys, i snapped those with my phone on a cloudy day. i should do a photoshoot on it next month when the sun decides to come out. if anyone around fort walton florida (pensacola area) PM me id love to get some Dacks together and go for a scenic drive/ shoot. ill have my wifes 2007 eclipse pictures up to, pure red 2007 eclipse Halo headlights black housing and LED tailight black out house, cold air, chip 2.4L

 

thanks bud! you got one good looking truck wish i could have offroad toy

 

Looks good.I would really like to have an R/T but I like a 4x4 a little better.

 

yea id like to have both hahaha! give me about year or two ill finish the r/t and may pick up another 5.2 4x4
love the set up

 

Yeah, I love my 5sp. it's a lot stronger than my 99 R/T was. I never realized just how much torque ya loose through hydraulics. either way, I'm getting ready to have to do something about the trans now since it has just recently started loosing 3rd and is still on the stock clutch at 270k. I'm seriously considering a 5.7 6sp swap.
