If you want to run 12's in that truck you better plan on dropping a hemi in it, then after dropping the hemi in it get ready to drop another $2,500 into performance mods, then do some weight reduction and you should be in the high 12s

Maybe I'm blind but where is the Center console in the DIY section. I found the DIY section but don't see the center console. Awhile back I kept playing with mine and telling my dad that I think it has an open box just no hinge or latch. We took it partially apart and realized that it could be opened up but we didn't try once we saw it didn't have hinges.

My dad used to do upholstery and I didn't like the vinyl being cold and hot all the time depending on the weather so we cut out the centers of the seats and put in a cloth insert. Here's a pic.

Thats crazy, my buddy has a 03 4.7l SWB 5 speed stick, intake, throttle body spacer, superchips, and and dual friction clutch. I was driving next to him the other night and we messed around from a 40 punch and a 60, now i don't know why but by all means i pulled on him, i asked him if he was getting on it, he said it was all the way open. And i raced a newer F-150 4.6l from a dig and showed him who his daddy was, what that all about? 17.5 in the quarter, no way, i havn't takin mine to the track yet but i'mdying to see what it'll do.
i dont see how thats possible unless you probably have a hemi under your hood and someone put a 3.7 label on it. also since money is no problem, why but a v6 when u could have gotten a hemi and put those mods on it and your trucks could easily run 12s and done it for the same price as ur gonna spend on that 3.7, maybe less

If you do all of that, and do 4.56 gears. You will completely change the way your truck drives. I would also suggest this sway bar. I have heard really good things about it, but don't have any money. If you get the sway bar, drop that *** end down a couple inches I would say that would be one bad *** truck.

Here is the same thing for cheaper

Well i can tell you for a fact that it does not have a hemi, my dad has a hemi i know what they drive like. Also i have noticed that there are alot of 3.7l that have automatics or 6 speed sticks, mine is a 5 speed stick, i don't know if the gears are different or what. I bought the truck 3 weeks ago and when i first drove it i fell in love with it because it was a V6 with *****... STOCK!! I don't think the gears are aftermarket but it is a possibility. And if i wanted to drop a "Hemi" in it, it wouldn't bea 5.7, it would be the 505 turbo Hemi that dodge offers as a crate motor. And i don't have that much money, i just have enough to do all the mods i want to the 3.7l. I'll post pics of my engine tommorrow to prove it doesn't have a hemi in it.

I must say the sway bar is one of the best mods I done to this truck so far.

I have a Hellwig I looked at the other brands This eems like the best one fro the money I found cheeper brand that loos cpeeeply made and anouther brand thats way over priced for what you get Hellwig is the best deal out there.

And how to get you'er truck to run 12 in the 1/4 mile just wind the rubber band up tighter before launch time Ha Ha.

Man i'm telling you its a 6, my buddy with the 4.7 ram seems to think it already has gears, but i know it doesn't, and if it does than sweet thats less money to spend. Also does anybody know which is faster5 speed stick, 6 speed stick?I shift from 1-2 around38, 2-3 around59, 3-4 around 104, and i've topped it out at 114 still in 4th. I know, the 3rd gears is where my truck has it's *****.
