I have a Black 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi SLT 4x2 with 62,000 miles, and I'm curious what mods I should do next. Thanks for your help.

I have currently done these mods:

DIY Cold Air Intake
Kicker Door Speakers (Amp'd)
6 Cop Lights
8 Train Horns
20" Fuel Hostage Wheels
Painted All Emblems Black
Powdercoated Bumpers Black
Aftermarket Headunit
2 Outside Speakers
PA System
Aftermarket Headlights
Aftermarket Taillights
Aftermarket 3rd Brake Light
Aftermarket Reverse Lights
Aftermarket Fog Lights
Remote Start
Tint
Flowmaster 40 Series
Aftermarket Grille
Underglows
2 12" Kicker L7s (Kicker 2500.1)
Black Low-Pro Truck Toolbox

I know that is a long list of mods, and as you can tell, I really haven't done anything to increase performance. I'm rockin 12.1 MPG around town and I was curious if there was any way to increase that at all. I am looking into a SC 3865 aswell.


Possible Ideas :

Viper Alarm 5902
New Carpet
New Paintjob
Leather Seats
New Tint
SRT Hood
6" Lift with 35" Trail Grapplers (Worried though, since it's only a 2WD)

If anyone has any input I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Logan

Edit : With graduation and my birthday coming up I will probably get some money to do more mods.

Sounds like you are going the cosmetic route so any of your "Possible Ideas" is good to work with per you budget.

 

Buy a 4 cylinder rice burner if you want better MPGs, I have read numerous threads of people asking how to increase MPGs and no real great answer or anything that will improve it all to much, as for the SuperChip once again I have read that people used the economy tune and it helped increase MPGs but not a lot

And if you increase performance/HP you more then likely lose MPGs

As for the the Viper alarm I have it and wouldn't be with out it gives me a great sense of security after putting all the money I have in my truck

 

Bag and body on 30's!!

 

You can pick up a few mpg's by installing an e-fan....didnt think i saw that in your list...

but that and the leather and hood.. would be my suggestions.

 

I appreciate everyone's input. Anyone else?

 

Truck looks good but my neck hurts and I cannot turn it sideways today.

To spend money on e-fan, it would take aloooong time to get that money back in mpg savings. Same with a tuner.
i would think to save money, STOP MODDING. The money alone spent modding is wha you can "save" on your vehicle because it wont be in MPG's!

Funny how people are willing to spend thousands on Mods, and are very concerne about 3 or 4mpg's. Heck, 5mpg difference isnt even $500/yr extra unless your driving 20kmi.

 

Just out of curiosity, if you want to save money why did you buy 8 train horns? That's easily over 2 grand with the compressor

 

Honestly I'm not really too worried about the MPGs because my parents pay for my gas, and like Rich said, its not even 500$ more a year. But I love all my mods I was just curious what else to do!

 

In order of what I would get if I had the money: Tuner, Efan, Lift, SRT Hood, New CAI for SRT Hood. Oh and I would ditch the Flowmaster for a Magnaflow
