I just wanted to say hello. I am new here. 2 weeks ago I bought an '05 Ram 1500 QCSB 4x4 with a HEMI that has 69K mile on it. I has a catback exhaust on it (thx previous owner ) and I just ordered a Diablosport Predator for it. The truck is also my daily driver.

First, is there anything specific that I should look out for with this truck?

Also, I plan to get a CAI soon, what do you recommend?


In the future I also plan to add a full exhaust (headers back) and probably a cam and throttle body.

Thanks.

 

Welcome to the forum. Always good to see another PA guy on here.

 

Congrats on the truck! Everyone has there opinions on CAI's, there are few different ones everyone swears on.

 

Welcome to the forum...I agree it's always nice to see somebody new from the great state of PA....Lol

 

Welcome to the forum!

 

yeah PA is a good place. the hills kill mpgs tho

 

Thanks for the welcome. Yeah the hills hurt the mpgs a little, but the cold the other week was worse, since I would start the truck 10 minutes before I would leave in the morning ( I like the truck warm for my daughter). That 10 minutes of idling really hurts. I don't think I am going to do that any more unless it is really cold. I will just put more clothes on her

 

Post some pics of the rig bud!

 

hopefully I will have a chance to snap some pics and post them tomorrow.

 

Everyone has their favorite CAI brand, but honestly, a tube is a tube. The critical part is the filter. You can buy a cheap Ebay no brand CAI for your truck and it'll be fine, just put a good filter on it. Welcome to DF!
