Hello fellas and I must say you all have a nice site with a lot of great information. Here is why I am here. I just purchased a 2007 4x4 3500 MC CTD mfg date8/06 and would love to hear your thoughts on what you would do to it if it were yours. I now have 4300 miles on it, have had it leveled, and added 20 inch rims and BFG AT’s, a liner and tint. My main expectation of this rig is to occasionally pull 4-6k lb trailers for recreation and as a daily driver. Power and fuel economy are considerations and I have had a few pumped up diesels in the past but am not quite sure what is working best on this particular set up.
My current thoughts are a 4 inch lift, fender flares, exhaust, programmer with monitor/control, brake controller, back up camera that integrates into the nav/radio screen, remote start with turbo timer, K&N, nerf bars, and…then I’m open. My dilemma is not knowing what works best with this platform in terms of chips and remotes ect.

So if you would please give me tips on what you know, love and hate so I can get her off to finishing school I would really appreciate it.

Thanks and here are a few picts.

Nice looking ride [8D]

 

Thanks Shark...any advice? You have a sweet rig too and Im sure you have had a chance to test a few things...whats your suggestions?

 

awe come on SOMEONE has to have an opinion on what has worked best or worst on their rig.

 

If I were you, I'd PM Titon and do EXACTLY what he did to his truck. His Mega turned out AWESOME !!!

 

Thanks but I cant seem to find a "Titon" listed.
Any ideas on how to find this guy?
Anyone else have any thoughts on exhaust, chips, air intakes...you know go fast stuff for this mfg date CTD? Is there anything I should watch out for or things I should not overlook?

 

You just missed him. he was last months truck of the month.

Now GET TO WORK !!!

 

My dream is to have a CTD truck, I know exactly what I would do if I owned one. I would call Gale Banks Engineering and oder the complete six gun kit. How does1000+ ft/lbs of torque sound to you? Sounds good to me. CORR 3" suspension kit.... it gives you something like 14" of suspension travel. Personally I would have gone with a smaller rim and more tire, but that's me. I spend night and often daydreams dreaming of building my perfect CTD Ram. You definitely have a wonderful platform to start with. Good luck and keep us all in the loop.

 

Oh, totally forgot about the stacks... My truck would definitely have dual stacks instead of a tail pipe. I know alot of people don't dig the look, but sure do.... just my .02

 

His name is TRITON.There is so much potential for these trucks. It all depends on how deep you pockets
