Hey everyone this weekend i traded my 99 f250 sd for a 2004 ram 1500 2wd reg cab short box with the 3.7(i know a small engine) and was wondering if there were any performance mods to get for it. The plans currently are catback exhaust, cold air intake, and a shackle lowering kit. The will get picks soon and i have a question about the stripe on the back i think the PO put them on back words but who knows, hopefully pics tomorrow

 

There is nothing wrong with the 3.7, it's a good little engine (I have one too). You should join the 3.7 club on here...there are a few of us in there and you'll get lots of good help with your truck...

Oh...and

 

Welcome aboard, be careful with the drop shackles up is usually down.

 

There is very little performance you can do for a 3.7

The word "performance" and "3.7" really do not go together. If you wanted a smaller engine for better mileage or whatever reason, you should have gotten it in a lighter truck.

But other than a CAI, Sonnax booster, Powerwire and gears, I dont think there is anything else. Honestly though, I would not waste the money on gears and installation cost of them because that truck will never go fast in a short distance.

 

 

Does anyone know if the stripe is backwords? and also does anyone have a center cap laying around they would like to sell or give away to the cause?

 

is that suppose to be a daytona bed strip?? i would work on the outside befor i messed with that motor.... I have a 3.7 and the first thing i did was put exhaust on it opened it up a bit i think.

 

Do you want to keep the stripe? I have CAI and exhaust on mine, i got the 3.7 cause it's all I need, I have connections if I want to go fast lol

 

i do if it is on the right way is it backwords

 

I don't know, it doesn't look right. As for performance there are a few things you can do, most of them I've done and they're in my sig. Sean aka hemifever should be able to do a custom tune for your truck, he's written me a few tunes for mine already. Is your truck a manual or auto?
