who knows what mods come stock on the rumble bee motor wise? interested in what they have done to it.

 

Nothing special man. They come in Black and Yellow and are the Reg cab shortbox version. they have a sticker package and ground effects.
I know they have the 3;92 gears and not sure what exhaust it is, maybe Borla? That's it. and are available in 2004 and 2005's.
They have everything else a basic ram has as far as performance. Rumble Bee is an appearance package more or less.

 

alright thanks

 

There were 3700 built in 2004 and 2005 All plaqued. With dealer options, 4x4 and yellow or black bezel for the iterior trim,doors etc. Sadly the exhaust seems too be the only thing that separates it from the rank and file 1500's of that year(s). Is the nightrunner any better the following year, (indepent front end suspension, better ride, But sadly still just an option package, But with even fewer made,2000. It does stand out alittle better imo.

 

As the others said the only difference between a standard Ram and a Rumble Bee in 04 and 05 was appearance. They were offered in Black and Solar Yellow only. Also, the Rumble Bee was only offered on Regular Cab Short Bed 1500 models( 2 & 4WD offered ). Lots of fakes out there so if you see a Quad Cab, Regular Cab Long Bed, or a Heavy Duty Rumble Bee it is a 100% fake.

The Rumble Bee package had a color matched grille and bumpers like a Sport model and included these extras...

EXTERIOR:
Hood scoop
MOPAR ground efffects
Chrome exhaust tip
20" Chrome rims( regular ones used on the Rams )
Rumble Bee bed stripe
Brushed aluminum fuel door
Color matched tail light guards

INTERIOR:
Solar Yellow radio bezel
Solar Yellow door spears( w/ Rumble Bee logo )
Limited Edition production # plaque( bottom of radio bezel ).

There were NO performance upgrades to the 5.7L HEMI engines. Same base 345HP engine you got with a standard Ram 1500. The Rumble Bee was an appearance package not a performance one.

The only possible upgrade to performance from the factory "MIGHT" have been the muffler used. There are conflicting reports that supposedly it was made by Borla the way the 05 Daytona muffler was( 100% Borla made the Daytona muffler ). Only difference being the Daytona had a dual exit tail pipe setup and the Rumble Bee was a regular single tailpipe. Some have said the Rumble Bee muffler was just a regular Ram muffler? I can't say one way or the other BUT the replacement exhaust for the Rumble Bee had a different part # originally vs a regular Ram 1500. Maybe because of the tip on it? My dealer said it was made by Borla and was different but who really knows? Other than that possibility no performance upgrades of any kind.

 

Rumble bee hood scoop was non functional btw. Good write up nhhemi.

 

both had independent front suspension you know, huh?

 

There were !500 's in o6, which had independant front suspension.Rumble bee's had a sfa I think. They weren't made in o6. So what did you mean buy ''both''??

 

lol dodge hasnt had a 1500 with a SFA in a long time except megas....and they didnt make any 2500 or mega rumble bees

 

I gotcha, i haven't even looked at a another ram that was o5 or less. By that I mean underneath. My bad.
