Hey! I'm the new guy!
 
Hey just thought i'd say hey and you guys on here are awesome and its cool to know that no matter what the problem is theres a "team" of guys always around to help. Its like a bunch of buddies chillin around the garage 24/7. Anyways I just bought my first dodge and love it. Got an 02 Black Ram 1500 SLT Sport QC. Got the 5.9 with the 3.92 LSD on BFG all terrain 35's and it runs like a champ with 56,000. I want to do some mods i have flowmaster 1 in 2 out duals on it and was thinkin superchips and a k&n intake. Anything else that will give me substantial power and torque? Im pulling a camper alot and a race car on a trailer and just want more power.

welocme to DF!! :icon_playing: im fairly new too and there are a bunch of nice guys on here!!!!:icon_no: haha just kidding!

with 35s and towing, id highly recommend 4.56 gears. it will really wake that thing up. the superchips is suppossed to make pretty substantial gains on that 5.9. also consider an electric fan to free up a couple HP.

Welcome to the forum buddy. A black 5.9 truck. I like. A intake like you said and a superchip would be a great place to start. Maybe some headers if you have the money. Please pics some pics as we all love pics. Oh and most of us all love black I know i do so I have an black one so black that thing out lol. search funtion is a great tool too. Thanks

Welcome to DF!! I also have a 02 5.9 black!! you are on the right track, the superchips tumer is my favorite performance mod, and the e-fan was great for a couple mpg's to offset the 35's. I also agree with john on the 4:56 gears, they are on my list of things to do!!

Welcome, and congrats on the 5.9. It's a great motor and the possibilities are just about endless. All depends on what you wanna spend. Take some time to hang around the 2nd gen area too, although your truck is a 3rd gen that motors been round a while and alot of the 2nd gens have been doing some amazing things with them. Don't completely dismiss the hemi guys though, at one time I'm willing to bet most have owned a magnum or two (or ten).

Welcome. I'm a newbie too. And yes, these guys are great when it comes to knowing their trucks.

3500 4x4 CTD MC huh? Lets get the sig and some pics up. :icon_hyper:

I'm working on pics to upload Mega-Hemi. I was planning to do a sig when I upload the pics. Don't get too excited though, there are not many mods yet....currently researching for tires, wheels and lift/leveling.

Welcome to DF. X4 on the superchips..haha

You got some low miles on that beast too. Low enough to slap a supercharger on there and still get some good life out of the engine. I've seen used one's go for $1500, just gotta keep your eye out. If you have a 4wd, gears would cost that much alone.
