whats your plans for the 2010
I've driven the wheels off of it for the past seven years and the time has come to freshen her up. In order: front and rear axle re-builds with 4.56 gears and detroit locker, 408 stroker crate motor, new paint with buckstop front bumper, 5" lift with 35"s, new dash and heater core. That should be enough for awhile. After all that I'll put a little TLC into the interior.
1. Finish front end rebuild
2. Tune-up (plugs, wires, etc)
3. New rubber front & back
4. Line-X bed and grill guard & rear bumper
5. Rip out back seat add custom enclosure with subs and amp
6. Put out the fire on my Visa

Might be getting rid of my dual pipes out the back and put dual magnaflow rolled tips exiting out before the right rear tire. Possibly 2/4 drop, rear sway bar kit, rip out center seat and put a real center console in there, and possibly install the ss/t ground effects.
2010:
1. Replace tailgate sheetmetal (only flaw in paint is when prev owner backed into something with the tailgate down, no biggie but a good project).
2. put in the same injectors I had in my 1996 ram (see sig, they are 4 hole injectors)
3. Build a ram air intake (dual inlet going down to just below the bumper)
4. Paint front bumper to match truck.
2011
1. Headers
2. Tranny pan
2012: Dream list
1. Engine: Hughes F1, 1.7s, KRC, timing chain, Tuner, New cats, Paxton
2. Tranny: Dr Evil Pure Evil tranny (maybe megashifter from DIY)
3. Dana 60 front and rear & new shocks
Since owning the truck for 16 months, I have only put 6K miles on it...and that was with a move from California to Arkansas. So by the time 2012 comes around, my truck will only have 70K miles maximum. Currently my truck has 48K miles. I think it could handle 6lbs of boost at 70K miles. But then it might completely fall apart at 100K.
