So ive installed what some would say is the usually the first three mods to complete, the exhaust, superchip and cai. I plan on maybe puttin in a 6.1 cam and lift next fall but in the meantime im wondering what else I can do to gain a little juice without breaking the bank and without totally destroying my warranty.
I have seen the power wire, but I dont like the sounds of it myself, what else can I do?
thanks

Ya ive just started getting going on that, im just gonna add a little more chrome to the chrome package already in place.
- Chrome hemi license plate frames
- Chrome hemi license plate nut caps
- Chrome ram logo tire valve stem caps
- Chrome diff cover
- Stainless front and rear door entry guards
- Chrome bug deflector
- Chrome tailgate handle
- Tint front windows, all others done already
- Maybe a lid for my box, although I dont really care for the newer dodge ones, with the two humps on it
As far as lifts, it will just be a leveling kit, I want a truck for all purposes, 4x4in, speed, power, looks, once you jack it up high it basically becomes a 4 wheeler only imo so im pushin for the whole package on and off road.
Oh one other thing I really want to do but not sure if I can is put a 09 ram bumper on my 08 to fit my dual exit exhaust into, really hoping this works, love the look.

Some say it voids warranty some say it doesnt, id like to know really which it is. I think alot of it would depend on who is fixing your truck should something go wrong, will they tell dodge he did this mod, or will they be cool and keep it zipped for you. I know enough mechanics i think that wouldnt tell dodge anything, but im not sure how that works either, seems to easy.

From the Superchips website:
"Question # 1 Will it void my warranty? No. It is illegal for a dealership to void your warranty based solely on the fact that you have installed an aftermarket product. But always remove the tuning before going to a dealer for service. For information regarding denial of warranty coverage, go to the SEMA website."

More power and torque. You will be a lot faster off the line! Increase your towing power, and/or drag times! It will improve your city and stop-and-go gas milage, but your highway will go down a tad! I would still recommend 4:56 gears to anyone, and even 4:88 if you are building a fast truck!

There is pretty much nothing they can say a set of gears will do, hell, Mopar makes 4.56s the dealer will put in, if you want to pay like triple.
Obviously, if the aftermarket gears fail, the dealer will not warranty it. Maybe if your stock LSD fails, they can try to blame the gears, but if you are doing gears, have the POS stock LSD replaced with an Auburn or TruTrac while they're in there...
