Default First time Ram owner

A few weeks ago I got wiped out at a red light. Still waiting on insurance to get the bs handled but ran up on a deal on a 07 1500 quad cab 4x4 with a 5.7 hemi with 135000 on it that I couldn't pass up. It's in damn good shape front end seems to be pretty tight still minus a wobble from 60-70. It's got a semi aggressive set of mud grips on it so I'm hoping it's just needs wheels balanced. Now I'm a Ford technician with a Hemi.😂 Love the truck though. I've read up on characteristics of the hemi quit a bit and fuel milage seems to be the biggest downfall. Obviously intake air and exhaust is the go to to get a few more outta her. What y'all's recommendations? What's some things I should look out for as know issues that will arise with this engine?
