My Mega already had a programer, stupid throttle spacer, and Flowmaster when I got it. The first thing I did was run the exhaust all the way out the back. The PO had it dumped in front of rear axle. I also added a set of AMP power steps and a B&W turn-over gooseneck hitch. I love it, but it's like riding around with an alcoholic buddy. Everytime I try to go somewhere it says, "Hey man, let's stop at the gas station." Goodluck with your new purchase.

First thing I did was my sound system. That is only because I already had it from my previous car though. I had a custom sub box built to fit behind the seat. Eventually I plan to put some pictures up showing it.

Next things on my list are:
Tires(hopefully not the wheels)
lift kit
4.56 gears
Superchips Flashpaq 3865
and then eventually CAI and Exhaust system.

Just gotta start saving the cash for it all lol.

Wheels and Tires, get that beast up in the air!

The gas mileage isn't that bad, I get about the same as I was getting with my 2002 QC 5.9. Hurts more filling up though because this has a 35 gallon tank.

Tinted front windows, iPod interface first. Then leveled and new wheels and tires. Next came the Banks Ram-air intake. And I just debadged the doors last week.

Welcome to the club for the big units.

ramhunter9- what's your mpg with the 4.10's?


is there a way to add a plug in for an ipod or just the standard 3.5mm jack with the stock infinity system? haven't taken apart dash yet. so dunno what back of head unit looks like.

oh and noticed first flaw, no power outlet in the back. so, where is a good place to put an outlet: near rear air vents, in back of fold down arm rest/cup holders, or behind rear seats on back wall?

has anyone had any luck or have even looked at all for pricing of rear floor ice bins like ones found in the 09+ rams? been looking since day 1 almost When new trucks came out. having a set of those would be badass
