Default FINALLY got my Ram finished. Wanted to share it with you all.

Hey,

I bought this 2001 Ram Sport 5.9L last September from a co-worker who is very very **** with her cars. Only had 78000 miles on it and she owned it from day 1.

Had all the original paper work from the dealer and she kept EVERY service record. Only major maintenance done to it was a replaced transmission governor solenoid and upgraded "Alsaka" block/tanny,/coolant heater plug package install(they lived in Alask for 3 years and where they bought the truck). Get this...she sold it to me for 7,000$. So I sold my 300M I owned , made 5K off of that, so I really only had to pay 2K hahaha. When I bought it she also replaced the cracked window and paid for a 75000 mile tune-up and all fluids including drivetrain/transfer case and diff change.

Since I have owned it I have: checked the plenum for leaks= NONE, sweet!
replaced the PCV valve, new TPS, installed a AEM Intake that I customized to make a sealed box with ram air ducting, installed a Flowmaster super44 with as nice chrome tip, 180* thermostat, and bought a SCT flasher & had Hemifever load me up some sweet maps. I run the 91 octane with no knock issues.

I gave the body the old clay bar, then some rubbing compound and then some Armorall butter wax(stuff is awesome).

Enough about the truck, here are some pics:







I run the Android App called Torque. Uses a bluetooth adapter that plugs into your OBD-II port. Lets me monitor much more BUT I am still in the search for Dodge's PID codes for tranny temp and knock sensor.

I love the truck especially after Hemifever made it have some *****

Thanks for looking.

Oh yeah, here is my other toy I built myself. 1988 RX-7 with a 425rwhp and 417rwtrq LS1 I built last winter.

That is probably the cleanest 2nd gen Ram I have seen in a very long time. Really like the silver color as well!


I have a question about your torque app. Where did you get the BT adapter?

Is that the original dash board on the '01 Ram? Not sure I've seen one without at least one crack or hole in it.

Thanks guys for all the comments! Very appreciated.

For the question regarding my LS1: it has a T56 with the mazda 4.10 rear end.

For the Torque app bluetooth adapter: it is from PLX devices. 100.00$ from their website.

As for the rest of the compliments: yeah i couldnt believe how nice the truck was. So immaculant. I am very grateful.
