I'm picturing HeyYou hahah jk! --



Yeah, they grew up to Toyo 37s. I'm wanting to see how soon I'll break my 3 yr old ujoints and unit bearing and....


We are going this Saturday with the whole family to sled, snowshoe, XC ski, etc. BBQ and all that good mellow stuff. This trip I just did was a scouting run.

 

Awesome, 37's make a big difference. I know you must be very pleased with them. They sure took my truck to a different level of traction in the loose stuff. What gears are you running?

 

Pretty much. I can only wish I was that cute though.

 

Hahhaha HeyYou.

I'm still rocking my factory 4.10s. I did give them some help in a few ways: Changed up the camshaft to an R/T (thanks Merc) and M1 intake (thanks Merc) both about 3 years ago now and placed my tuner setting to run on Tow Performance. Never had it on that before and it's quite different. I'm easy on it.....for now. Getting close to the proper axles and gears though.

 

Low Range with the modes you made probably give you plenty of power. I sure like the way your ORE looks and the articulation you get out of it. Cuddos! There were delay issues in them sending me the borgensen steering box, so I canceled it. I called Redhead and spoke with them a few days ago and think that is the route I'll go. I'll probably order it on Thursday. Which ratio would you think would be best. The 15:1 or the 18:1?

 

Thanks for the compliments from a fellow ORE'er.

Btw -- I think you should change your sig/details to say Ram ORE 1-ton-er! (since you swapped already)

I definitely like the how the truck moves in the snow with this combination. When it dries up for the trails....I may not like it.

As for the Redhead....wow, when I called I wasn't provided a choice on the steering ratio. Just gave them year, make, model and I'm very happy with mine. If it helps any (and I'd like to know), then my Item# is 2869 3T (from my invoice). Ask them what that one is relative to the ratio. I'd like to know....

Thanks

 

Missed your post.

It's really dependent on the conditions. This also assumes your CAD works w/o issue. I say that b/c I haven't had any challenges changing up the tcase position whereas I've read here on occasion that some people do.

Conditions that will impact your choice are grade, compaction, ice, holes, and bumps etc. Aired down or not.

In the conditions I showed in the pictures, it's a mix of 4hi and 4lo. The larger tires with 4lo makes my travel much faster relative to stock. Stock tires and 4lo might be too slow and patience might bite ya resulting in wheel breaking loose/spin = no traction. Therefore 4hi with attention to throttle is may work best.

Watch your engine temp at all times. No I have not overheated, but you certainly can get there pretty damn quick! Dual efans gives me relief.

 

How do you like the M1 intake? I've got two choices that I've got to make relatively soon - fix my plenum or get an M1.

My next two upgrades that will most likely help out as well in the trails are a new steering box (redhead or Borgensen) and dual fans. My stock steering box is begging to be retired

 

Go for the M1, install is a bit more straightfoward.

 

Also make sure you can pass inspection with it.. I thinks nuckle can't pass the smog test with the M1, had to install the stock intake for the test...
