Well recently I got a nice 06 4.7 1500 Ram, I'm just wondering if you guys think Im missing out since its not the HEMI? Shes at around 900 miles now and havent had her for a month yet.

Any moderately priced upgrades to do?

Thanks

 

Well damn... seems like my neighbor has the same truck as me except its a HEMI with the Big Horn Package, I like the bigger wheels even the same Color... Wow. Might have to ask about it later, but his seems to have a much better roar that you cant mistake.

 

Enjoy your new RAM !!!!!! Save $ on gas! And wish you would have gotten the HEMI!!!!!

 

Yeah enjoy your 2006. I have a 2002 QC 1500, and love it, like the other poster stated you'll save money on gas big time.
if you want roar, get a nice exhaust...

 

I have an 03 4.7 just over 50k on it now .. Not a complaint at all. I have never had any problem with it, other than a brake light burning out, and a flat tire. Cant beat the reliability, mileage, and longevity of the 4.7 engine. It's a winner, enjoy your new truck!

 

Hell, I dont feel half as bad now. Hahaha

Thanks

 

I have an 05 ram qc 1500 lonestar with the 4.7, i work at a car dealership and have had PLENTY of driving time with the the 4.7 and 5.7 hemi, the only difference i felt was the sound and the mid-range power band on the hemi was stronger, but if you want that same power on the 4.7 just press a little harder on the pedal. Im very happy with mine and glad i didnt go hemi (i know ill get killed for that lol) actually might have condsidered the Diesel over the HEMI.

Good pick on the 1500 4.7

 

sapo916, Do you have the Automatic tranny or Manual?

If you're looking for the roar...go with what NYPANAMA says. EXHAUST upgrade!!

 

Automatic

 

Do a search on exhaust upgrades first my friend. You'll get more than enough info on what you're looking for.

The 4.7 has several performance upgrades as well if you're looking for a power gain after that. I have the 4.7 MTX, have had no problems at all with it. I'm not too familiar with the automatic though... You'll be happy with your purchase though, enjoy your toy!
