As some of you know, I'm in Iraq, and I've been ordering parts for my 1999 ram like crazy, but anyway, here is a picture of the boxes waiting for me with I get home. good stuff.

This is all the stuff in my sig, minus the wheels/tires (on my friend's truck) and the 4.30 gears... still looking for a supplier for those for the 9 1/4. If I can't find them, I'll have to go with either 4.10's or 4.56. Leaning tward 4.56 since I live at around 8000 feet above sea level, and that kind of altitude just kills the performance, and I'm planning on running a 285/295/305 70/17 tire (buying those when I get home)

Also, here's a remote I'm trying to get. It's awesome

Good for you! Be safe!!

Congrats looks like your gonna have some fun when you get home.

 

LOL, you did the same as me brother. When I was stuck in that crap hole for 7 months, I was on ebay and every other website ordering stuff for my ram, gotta love that combat pay and IDP

 

yeah man. The extra pay sure is nice, but I'm finally done buying stuff, minus the gears and tires, but it's been fun in the mean time. Every chance I had I was online picking stuff up. Looks like I'm going to be home a bit early too, so hopefully I can get it all put on before the snow! Ha ha. Curious though... what electric fan set up did you use? I was looking at the flex-a-lite 295, but it's pretty expensive. Did you notice a power/MPG increase?

 

the electric fan swap will only net you a few horse like 8-10 down low as the clutch kicks in at about 2500 rpm and won't spin the fan any faster (letting the fan slip...).

i've been trying to work on how much air the mechanical fan pulls but i keep running into problems of not knowing the air speeds before and after the fan.

i'll keep working on it and see if i can get anywhere.

hopefully my work will figure out if the electric fans out there are actually pulling enough air through.

 

I dont think they make 4:30 gears for the 9.25. I never heard of anyone installing them nor did I see a vendor sell them.

 

Be careful how much you order for your truck...I was in Bagram for sometime (AF here) and bought tons of stuff for my Saturn Vue got back ebay'd everything I bought and traded in VUE and paid cash for the 06 Dak. Love that hazzard pay and tax free!!! Anyway best of luck to you, come home safe!

 

AHHHH....... Bagram AF, I dont know what I miss more......


running up and down Disney.....

or the Fri night steak and lobster!!



Its been 2 years now and I havent had lobster yet.

 

sweet man, i hope you come back safe so you can get all the goodies on her.
