Default Just Bought A 03 RAM 2500 what should I do first for upgrades?

I bought a 03 Ram 2500 a month ago and I bought a K&N intake for it but was wondering what everyone here thinks I should do to it next to make it even better? Its pretty much all stock and the one good thing was it was a one owner truck and very well taken care of but im the kinda guy that loves to build my trucks up so any suggestions?? thanks guys

I doubt if you'll agree, but, pull all the drive lines and axles, if necessary, and replace all the u-joints with greasable ones----you'll thank me later, unless, of course, its already been done.

Front u joints, rear joints, take gone fishin advice.

AS for modifications, a true dual ex system helps with mpg, but I doubt you will get the $$$ back in operating costs.

I would never consider lifting any dodge truck due to limitations of the stock u joints, before spending money on modifications, spend your money on a tune up, servicing, good tires, the boaring stuff, its the cheapest way to get milage and performance out of a hemi.


money is expensive ...
