RE: If Your A Newbie, Post And Int
Hello All
I finally have the time to join and talk with other active dodge owners.
my stats
2004 Dodge Ram 1500 QC
4.7L
4X2
Modifications so far:
Cat back Magnaflow exhaust
Airaid intake system w/MIT tube
Airaid TBS
This is my first Dodge, I have about 5000 miles on it, love it so far.
I only have two complaints, the trucks shifts horribly and has an really bad hop on the concrete freeway.
I am seeing some decent gas mileage for how I drive, heavy foot, and it hadles great.
I hope to get some good info, and give some good info with my time here. I plan on doing a lot more mods as time and money become available. Hello to all.

How are ya... I've been reading th board for a while and getting excellent tips and information. I have an '03 Durango SLT with the 4.7. I've installed a K+N intake and will be installing a cat-back exhaust for Christmas (Not sure Gibson or Flowmaster). I'm just looking to squeak out a couple of MPG's. Thanks for all the info guys.

the paint itself isnt all bad but if you look closly theres spots where the bondo is breaking through so it needs body work, and there are a couple chips, a couple are really bad but it in great shape besides those couple spots.

Well here goes. Hi everyone. I'm a crazy mid-20's engineer type in southeast North Dakota waiting for my 05 Dakota to get here. I'm looking forward to the fun I should be able to have with it (both carrying stuff around, and just goofing off in places where my old F*rd won't go.) I don't think I'd have even thought about buying a Dodge if it hadn't been for the summer I spent driving my dad's '95 v6 clubcab 5-speed 4x4 Dak -- what a great little truck. Excellent gas mileage and yet little capability loss compared to a full-size.
