I know earlier this year on Extreme 4x4 on spike they had a black lifted dodge ram they were going to start a project on. I stopped watching the show, but was wondering if they were still doing that project? I remember they said they would show it here and there adding some stuff to it to boost mpgs. If they still have it on there I might have to watch them

 

Dakotrams started a thread a while ago. I don't think anything came of it.

I'm sleeping when these show are on.

 

Yeah, I remember that thread and tried to find it, but I wasn't looking too hard. I know you can watch the eposides free online so if they still had the project going I would like to watch them and see how it was going.

 

good question.... I forgot about it too, but I think I might have a ton of the shows PVR'ed starting from when that thread was first posted mentioning the Ram on there... I'll skip through them sometime and see what I find...

 

Awesome, whenever you get the chance just post what you find here. I remember they wanted to get 20 mpg out of a 1996 or 1997 Dodge ram 1500 with 5" lift and some 35's. Haha. I know that is almost impossible, but they have a lot of money to burn on those projects and might be able to get close

 

they put electric fans on the truck and got a few tenths better gas milage. i think they said 15 miles more to the tank.

 

nothing new from what i have seen, i watch almost all of em

 

Here I found dakotas thread.

Here is stage 2 of the Ram They put it at the end so you may have to watch the whole thing. I'll try to add them as I find the episodes.

I don't remember him saying if the fan did anything. All he did was add a fan and take a bunch of junk out of his truck to trim the fat.
I jump to the end of every episode looking for that ram, it's disappointing to see that it isn't on there on almost every new episode.

 

i know spike tv put a supercharger on the 5.2
