Really? Where?

Driving the pavement won't blow anything up but your wallet at the pump is about it.

Do something silly in the mall parking lot, like speed bumps, or what have you...could get interesting too.

But cmon...Chilly is chill with his ride anyways. He has no snow, so no dropping into ditches to challenge a D44 ujoint.

Would really like to see some mud action though! We have no water out here...so no mud for me try my 37s on the D44.

Tuner will arrive Wednesday. Will update results

Come on people, I'm no offroader like all you guys! LOL. I go once in awhile on a mudding trip but it isn't even deep mud. Just muddy. But there is snow here in Winter!

I know people with 38s and 4.10s with stock axles. I ask them all the time about it and they say it's fine cause Dodges are built tough.

I do flex a lot with this thing though because I think it's cool..

What you said about the shifting points didn't exactly type out, but it sounds like your trans shifts quickly out of third?

if so, I'm skeptical that a tuner (of any kind) would help. Before you throw the tuner on it, you should figure out the transmission issue.

So where are the pics of said mudding, flexing, and white stuff? As well as 38s role models?

holy hell, this truck now hauls ***!!!! i had 91 in the tank so i used the 91 tune and OMG i am burning rubber, way better acceleration. would like to have better hwy ummpf, passing. doing about 65 and push the pedal, it dont kick down. but of course that is going pretty fast. push pedal farther and it kicks down to passing gear and hang on.
i can now easly hold it at 70-80mph. where as before i had to push it to keep it there.

I've found that on the highway when in overdrive I have the best power and acceleration at just above 2k RPMs, if I'm already there it's like instant power, if I'm a little below 2K RPM it usually gets moving once I reach that "sweet" spot...

And that's with no tuner.

Calm down brotha.

We're gunna have a big mudding party here soon. I'll get pics, don't worry. I have tons of flexing pictures, just not on here. But them 38 role models are all over the 2nd gen pages on Instagram.

I lifted it to take offroad which I did. Until I hated cleaning it off and fixing stuff. Then being under it and **** falling on me. Now she's always clean, lol.

I am with chill. In had my day years ago 1978 dodge ram charger. I beat the **** out of it in the weekends. Then every week I was fixing something just to go back out on the weekends. Learned my lesson. So if this is going to be a daily driver. Beating it to death is not my motive
