Default Hi.

This site is pretty cool!

Im on my second ram.I blew my the motor in my 98 towing a 16 foot enclosed trailer up a huge grade.It only had 60k miles on it and was still under factory warrenty.I took it into the dealer and they were going to put a new motor in it(under warrenty of course)when I fell in love.

Now I have a silver 04 1500 with the 4.7.Its fully loaded and so far I like it.
I think its a little under powerd,but thats couse I drove an F250 powerstroke for a month.

I plan to turbo charge it.Hopefully with in a year.It will be a custon setup that I will put together my self.The reason Im going with a turbo and not a supercharger is becous a turbo will only go into boost under load and only consume huge amounts of fuel them.This will be a good challenge since that last thing I turboed was my 95 civic(It was fun beating 5.0 mustangs on 12psi of boost).

My last Ram had a 318 so I still have some research to do on the 4.7 powerplant to see how it will react to boost.

Ill keep you all posted!

Rafael
