Well I just bought a 2001 Ram 1500 5.9L. I've never owned a truck before. Any suggestions on what I should do first? Not 100% sure which way I should go with a truck, headers? CAI? Chip? Cams? Muffler? Thanks alot for any suggestions I should have pics of my truck up soon!

welcome look for plenum leak, and you have the "deathflash" from factory which kills your performance and MPG . getting a sct tuner as the 1st mod will be the best bang for the buck !

 

ok so the SCT should fix the deathflash. where should I buy my tuner? I've seen some guys talking about hemifever, is that who you recommend? Also is there different types of SCT's that I can buy? hemifever has a few different ones wasnt sure about what to get. I just bought a K & N filter and it won't fit because of my throttle body spacer do I need to bring it to a garage to lower the engine to install the filter? sorry about all the questions I just want to do this right and I have limited knowledge. Thanks for the help.

 

nevermind...getting rid of the spacer after searching on here i realize i dont need one. not sure on the plenum yet the dodge service shop said the 2001's dont need it.

 

Welcome and get use to the truck before the snow comes.

 

Yeah I can't wait!
