Bought my first brand new Dodge yesterday. Quad Cab 4x4 5.7 Hemi Ram 1500 Night Runner. Have some tinting, running boards, some trim and spray in bed liner by the dealer next week sometime. Asking all the Dodge experts familiar with this truck, what are some cosmetic add ons you would go with for this truck, and what other modifications would you recommend. I owned a Dakota when I was in high school, a Ram Charger when I was older, and my family has all owned dodges, from the first gen Ram to the Durango, we've had driveways full of Dodges. I finally got a truck I could see toying with though so any ideas are appreciated.

 

well i just bought a brand new 06 ram hemi about 4 weeks ago and I had it tinted and got a spray in bedliner, now all i need is this.......

1st mod on a night runner, remove the sticker!

 

haha true that. They look sick though when the night runner sticker is gone.

 

I have always found that a hot chick in the passenger seat is a great mod plus they add like 15 horsepower.

 

Would hold off on that supercharger. My only problem with that system is that you are only seeing the 380HP for only 2-4seconds depending on what gear you are in. Seeing the power at 4600RPM is pretty high for a supercharger.

 

lmao

 

You should upgrade those wheels. I have a set of factory 17's I'll swap you. That and removing tha sticker will give you that sleeper look and the smaller wheel size will make it quicker.

 

Gonna have about 2000$ or so to make upgrades here soon. Need some exhaust and intake ideas. Performance upgrade suggestions appreciated!! I can build a high rise but I can't tell you what year any car is by looking at it. So I need some ideas.

 

Your exhaust manifolds are the most restrictive part on your truck. I am a firm beleiver in headers as you first real upgrade. After that I prefer a tru dual exhaust but that might push your budget because I am assuming you will have to have the work done. If you can find some deals you might be able to get a CAI. Personally I don't think there is enough actual performance benefit from one to the other unless your building a NASCAR engeneered motor where every little bit is used, so I would look for whatever price or style you want.

Another way you might go is to stop at the exhaust and wait till you can get a functional ram air hood. Better than any CAI by far.

A chip would be nice too.

From there I guess it depends on how far your willing to go. Either way I would start by replacing the entire exhaust system, that might cost the whole $2000 but it will be at least as good as a Cat back, CAI, and Chip.
