For what it's worth I agree, 31" and shorter 4:10, taller than 31" tire, than 4:56. I wanted 4:56, but I let Bob at Moe's talk me out of it. Been running the 4:10 for little over a week and like the 4:10. With 30.25 tall tires I am turning 1825 rpm at 60mph. The 4:56 would have had me turning 2000 rpm for the same speed. The torque converter arrives Wednesday, I'll be away working (bummer!).

Good Info (Greg, right?) Thanks as I was wondering if I could ever drive on the HWY using that 2200 RPM sweat-spot as it is currently too fast around 140 KPH (85mph) as speed limit is 110 (can get away with 120 with sherrif sat there). To be honest the mileage is no worse at 120 than 130 or even 140.

So not to (as they say) jack AF's thread but maybe it's time to do that 03 Hemi Ram Special Club or turn this into a sticky thread where we can discuss 03 Specific Problems, Issues, Tweaks, or spl requirements that do not affect the 04-05 Guys and the MDS Engine folks. How do we get something like that going? as I am limited in my use of this forum, even my picture album is maxed out. Af Hemi you can be the 03 Club founder as you are perhaps the first to cross the line that was drawn in the sand (other than the couple of Supercharged 03's that were done but failed to be avail to the normal Joe I.E. Procharger/Kenne Bell). So what do you think? Gotta go do the dealer and pick-up new Map sensor as I'm pretty sure that will cure my P0172 code that keeps coming back but I'll "Take a breath" and save that for another thread. Later. Dan

Yep, I agree. The 03's are unique enough we needs a club to talk about our specifics. Someone set it up and send me a number...lol

We need a sticky to keep this going. I think everyone is going to be surprised how many "forgottens" there actually are...
