HAs anyone had a chance to look under the hood of the 09'? Any pictures?

 

seen under the hood plenty of times....if i shared pictures my job would at risk, sorry lol

 

Thats cool I dont want you to get fired over taking a picture, I was just wondering if there was already any spy shots or other pics, I just want to see if the location of a few things have changed or not.

 

what sort of things are you lookin to see if they moved?

 

Well alrightin compairison to my 05' 1500, has the air box moved? In mine it is on the passenger side.

 

What did they do besides add the dual out muffler to gain 35hp and 29lb/ft? 380/404 vs 345/375?

 

The output is now 390HP. They made some changes to the intake, they tweaked the runner sizes, and also added a variable geometry system, which basically is a set of valves that switches between short runners for high end power, and long runners for low end torque. They also added variable camshaft timing, and did some tweak to the heads as well. All those things add up.

EDIT: They also bumped the compression

 

Yeah, I found it here yesterday http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/200...-upgraded.html

Ok guys dont take this the wrong way, dodge by far is my fav. but is it just me or after looking at that chart, doesnt dodge seem to be at the low end on the totem pole for towing and mpg. Even with the bumped up hp and tq it just beats toyota and chevy just out right wins.Since when is a chevy better than dodge, Never! thats when but seriously whats going on here? Now i know that this is only the 1500 series, but still im kinda afraid to see what the other trucks 2 and 3 series will be compared to dodges 2 and 3, if the 1500 is losing already. Ill never pick anything besides a dodge, but still this seems odd.
