Ok im new to both DF and having a truck. I just bought a 1999 dodge ram 1500 and i wanna know what i should start to add on to it to help it with speed and mileage. Can anyone give me some ideas???

 

Welcome to DF.

I'd recommend doing a search of the section (link is in black bar right above where it says "2nd Gen Ram 1994 through 2001 Rams"). This topic has been beaten to death over and over again, usually twice a week or more.

 

Welcome this will help out alot https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen-ram-faqs-143/

 

What size tires/gears.
What kind of mileage? 13-15 is normal on a 4x4 and 14-16 is normal on a 4x2, that is if it is in good condition.

A Hughes Air Gap is one of the best things for better mileage and a little more get up.

 

welcome to DF! you came to the right place

 

Welcome to Dodgeforum!

Post a picture of your new truck and fill out your sig with what size motor and if it is 4 wheel drive or 2. This helps when you ask a question or having a problem with your truck so we have an idea where to start.
