3rd Gen Ram Tech2002-2008 Rams: This section is for TECHNICAL discussions only, that involve the 2002 through 2008 Rams Rams. For any non-tech discussions, please direct your attention to the "General discussion/NON-tech" sub sections.
Tonight I finally got a chance to go racing against my brother's new Ram just to see how the extra 45 h/p would do against the 3rd generation hemi; and sure enough it was clear as night and day. Whether it was from a dig or a roll, my brother's truck pulled away almost instantly. His truck had a great advantage with the paddle shifter so power was right there when he wanted it. My truck was bogging at 40mph as we were beeping and although it would explode when I slammed it, he still took right off. Case and point, the new Rams are FAST. I still think my truck looks better, but I'm sure once he starts pimping his out, I'll become more partial to the 4th generations
That's the sad part for me, he has 3.55s. I have 3.92s. I thought I'd at least be close from a stand still but I just peeled out the whole time. Those new Rams are quick and light.
I agree those new ones are very nice! I had the liberty of renting one from the airport in Phoenix earlier this year and I was floored at how powerful that truck was. Very smooth, very quiet, very fast! Buddy I was with was thinking it would take his turbo King Ranch!
