Default cammed gen 2?

Hey guys,

I was woundering if anyone has cammed their ram.

i was just browsing and looking around and seeing what i could do and came to camming the ram.

What would i need to know about to improving the cam. im looking for a nice idle. the "rumble" at idle. haha. thanks guys

There is only a vary narrow selection of cams you can use, before you start getting into "PCM is Annoyed" territory, and requires a custom tune. However, you CAN just put on a set of Harland Sharp 1.7 roller rockers, and the cam you have now, acts like a bigger cam, without pissing off the PCM. Pretty common upgrade on these trucks.

When you do a cam, be prepared to upgrade your entire top end...Starting with better valve springs and one piece valves at a minimum.

Do the 1.7s as others have said.
