Which was a horrible option package from the factory. Oh so how a yearn for 5 on the floor.

Good to hear you got the truck, I would get a build sheet from dodge, you can email them requesting it and it takes a couple of weeks or so for a response,

Not sure if all of them came with 4.10's but my friends ss/t has them and the LSD, so I would think it has the same, should say it on the bottom side of hood

Thx for the comments guys. Well the tires are 60% + tread, so we got a ways to go on that... but 100% the first major performance mod will be the SCT by Hemifever once Austin gets a few bucks saved for it..

I agree, too bad the 5 speed wasn't an option on the SS/T models...but it still punches through the gears nicely manually shifting!

I am trying to figure out the gear ratio...It is running 2500RPM on the highway @ 70, so I'm guessing 3.73 or 4.10 ????

-Not sure though. BUT it DOES have the LSD baby!

I have got the built sheet for my truck in 6 days, so I will order that in tomorrow morning and hopefully we have it by next Monday.We shall see.

I forgot to mention it has dealership installed keyless entry and remote start on the clicker!! Also the trailer brake control in there too, not that it's gonna get used though..haha.

LOL You crazy purpl. But yeah probably, he will be pimpin' at 17 in this beast. hahaha. But in all seriousness that tonnuae cover ain't going nowhere...looks great on the truck + increased fuel economy for all highway miles. and it wouldn't look right with a toolbox, so he needs a lockable dry place to put crap. Not like he doing consrtuction work outta of like I am...But hey the cover pops up on shocks, so there should be plenty of room to test the shocks out! LMAO probably need to replace those too

I hope that thing would get better than 15-17 highway... Mine gets 15 city(and I'm not holding back on the pedal either) and 17 highway with a leveled 4X4.

It will get better than 17 on the highway if everything is in good running order. No doubt.

Well the truck is in really superb running condition...so I am hoping it will get 17 on the highway. Gotta consider the truck is bone stock + Flowmaster duals...275 goodyears (and these suckers are wide too! dang!

Tune-up on Saturday includes:

Valvoline 10w-30 oil
Mopar MO-090 oil filter
Champion Copper Tip Plugs
Taylor 8mm Black Plug Wires
Dist. Cap and Rotor
PS Fluid Change
Coolant Flush
Clean Throttle Body + Sensors
Check/Replace Air Filter
Full Detail and wax

Umm. so are we missing anything up there?
And yes I know, the tranny fluid and filter will get changed when he can afford the deep pan...fluid is clean anyhow.

Requested the built sheet yesterday, so hopefully it will be here soon.
So are ya'll thinking it has a 3.73 or 3.92 or 4.10 gears? The sticker under the hood did not help. Just says LSD Rear end Runs about 2500 RPM @70
