RE: 06 3.7L performance
Just purchased my 2006 Ram 1500 4X2 Q-cab 3.7l a couple of months ago. Its basically an around town and to-from work truck. Don't haul a lot but I do drive some roads that have long continuous inclines and i really hate watching the speed drop and the engine jump to 5k rpm.This is my only regret so far with the 3.7l. Looking into the jet chip stage 1....

What gears does your truck have? Seems like a lot have the 3.21's which are way to high for the v6. I have the 3.55's with a regular cab and they are decent but once I got my 20's I wish I had 3.96's. Check out the powerwire too I have it and it's probably the best mod for the money except for maybe the liberty intake which I don't have so I'm not sure. There is a lot of info about all this stuff if you look around in here.

I did probably about 2 months ago and got offered $8500. Not bad, except that I owed $9000 on it at the time 
Decided to have patience and not get rid of it till it decides to break itself or start acting stupid. So far, no problems.
The best thing you can do is know what your truck is worth via KBB and NADA.

Has anyone tried to trade your v6 recently? If so what did they offer you?

8500?? wow. i was hoping for around 10 to 12 thousand. Do you know if mods such as intake and exhaust, would raise or lower the trade in value?

And like bchap said earlier, because you can get brand spanking new ones so cheap now, it hurts the trade value for those of us with older models. That and the fact that not many people want a full size truck with a V6 in it

Yes, when I first looked he was out too but started selling them again soon after.

An easy (somewhat) way to gain performance is to put your truck on a diet! Dodge trucks are heavy...
