^Sweet.
Whats the PN?
Also, would running that many amps be a bad thing for a stock truck?

The part number used to be maxx-1N but I think it changed. The book at the batteries will tell you which battery you need.
As far as I know the higher amps won't hurt anything. My truck had the stock maintenance free battery with something like 600CCA and 700CA and it used to sound like a dieing battery every time I started it then I replaced it with the current battery and it'll really get the starter to zing now.

I didn't do anything to the truck, but for the truck I just ordered a PATC Mega Viper which will be shipped out to Driveline Service (drivetrain.com) for installation because I can't do the job myself here in our "resort living" compartment complex. I failed to talk myself out of the billet converter, but I let them talk me out of their high zoot ATF. And it turns out that their Viper transmissions comes with the teflon coated front pump gears by default. Gotta love it.

Since the transfer case will be out anyway, it's getting a transfer case saver at the same time.

With any luck at all there will be pictures next week, at least of the Derale deep pan under the truck so those contemplating buying one can see how it hangs. And so I can mellow out... I don't recall feeling so much anticipation as a kid waiting on Christmas.

Finished up all my interior painting. Got tired of waiting on my dad to weld my tips on so I broke out the welder and tried my hand at it for the first time. Well I got em on but man my welds are UGLY. At least you cant see them unless your under the truck. I'll try and get some pics up soon.

Just a short FYI. I was told that remote starters are bad for transmissions.... Only because the transmissions in these trucks and most other Dodges only pump when in any other gear than park. I idle mine in nuetral with the parking brake on. Food for thought.
